Merry Christmas everybody!!! I can't believe it but here I am...another Christmas is here and I'm still surving despite all the hard work and partying I've been doing this year. Talking about parties, last night I went to a great party...in fact one of the most fabulous parties I've been to in recent years.
My weekend started on Saturday morning very early. In fact I had to get up at 7am to get to an appointment at 9am in Shinjuku. After meeting with a prospect, I had a quick lunch of hot chocolate and a bagel with cream cheese. Met another prospect at 12noon and rushed back home to teach 2 classes before getting ready for the party in the evening.
I met my friend at Kudanshita station at 7:30pm and we walked together to the party. Now I must mention the fact that we did not know the guy who was having the party until 2 weeks ago. We knew he was rich, but didn't expect him to be this rich! Wow, his apartment was on the 5th floor overlooking cherry trees along the river right next to the emporer's palace. In fact, my friend worked on the brochure for the apartment complex a few years back and tells me the starting price is just over 1 million US$!!! After passing through a doorman and two security doors, we were greeting by two maids who gathered our belongings and took care of our gifts of champagne. The apartment was already filled with guests from around the world, including this one Chinese guy from France, 3 Taiwanese guys, a straight couple with their daughter, and a very cute dog(I love dogs)! The only drinks available were Veuve Cliquot (my personal favorite), Moet Chandon(my second favorite) and Dom Perignon(one of the best) champagnes(my preferred drink)!
There was a huge turkey (I was dying to eat turkey)with all the trimmings as well as fresh ripe strawberries and ice cream for dessert. The people there were actually very friendly with interesting backgrounds. I got caught up in conversation with one woman in particular. She lived in Hawaii for a number of years in addition to living in Singapore, London and San Francisco.
At 10:30, we had to leave to our second party at AGEHA. We told the host we had to leave and he said that he would meet us there later. He then escorted us downstairs, where a chauffered car was awaiting us to whisk us off to AGEHA! Yes, his private driver and car!!! By this time I was thinking...can things get any better? We arrived at AGEHA where I met a friend who had a free VIP pass for me. Yes, I was in a very happy mood! An hour later, the rest of the people from the party arrived with the host. We immediately gave them a tour of the place as it was their first time there. They thanks us by buying us more drinks, which we were more than happy to accept! We then started to play this game of passing drinks to each other mouth to mouth! There were some women in the group so I ended up giving her drinks a few times and she started getting drunk and we started kissing( a girl for goodness sakes!) and I swear I don't remember how many people I kissed!
The rich guy kept asking me to go home with him, but I was able to avoid him later on. The Chinese guy from France suggested that we meet again after that playful kiss and the young kid kept trying to kiss me in the dark.
I stumbled home around 8:00am and went to bed without even taking a shower. Got up at 2pm and went to Aoyama with my boyfriend to buy the Christmas cake we had reserved. It was a delicious chocolate cake created by the one and only Pierre Herme, which we had reserved a month in advance. My roast pork turned out perfectly moist and delicious. The cake was to die for and I seriously journeyed to chocolate heaven...in fact I can honestly say that was the best chocolate cake I've ever had in my lifetime and God knows I had many!
Did I have a good weekend? You bet your ass I did!!!
One little problem...now the rich guy keeps calling me!
