🏃‍♀️ City2Surf 2026 💙🌊

Posted on August 10, 2026 | Leave a comment

What a day! We did the City2Surf 2026 together: hubby by my side, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the morning. ❤️

For anyone who hasn’t done it, City2Surf is Sydney’s iconic 14 km fun run/walk from Hyde Park to Bondi Beach, bringing people from all walks of life together for one big day of movement, community and fun.

And we did it in 2 hours and 4 minutes! 🙌🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ I’m pretty happy with that, it felt like a really good run, especially with the hills and the distance. 💪😊

Around 90,000 people came together this year, and being part of that crowd was honestly so inspiring. From little kids running alongside their families, to older people showing that age is no barrier, and people in wheelchairs taking on the challenge — everyone had their own reason for being there, but the determination and energy were incredible. ❤️

I was especially grateful to have my hubby by my side. We ran, walked, talked, laughed, encouraged each other and enjoyed every bit of it. These are the moments and memories that make it all worthwhile. ❤️

And one thing I was VERY thankful for… no rain! 😂🌧️ After last year, when we got absolutely soaked, I was more than happy to see a dry morning this time!

Tired legs, happy hearts and a little sense of achievement. 💙

14 km done in 2:04 — City2Surf 2026, we did it! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎉

✨ Girls Day Trip at Billabong Retreat ✨

Posted on May 29, 2026 | Leave a comment

We had the most beautiful girls’ day trip to Billabong Retreat, and honestly… it felt like a little escape from the world 🤍

Located in Maraylya, just about 45 minutes from Sydney, this retreat is surrounded by peaceful bushland and nature — so quiet, calming, and instantly grounding. The vibe was absolutely unreal… slow, peaceful, and full of good energy.

We started the day with a morning wellness session, followed by a delicious vegetarian wholefood lunch — everything was fresh, nourishing, and so thoughtfully prepared.

Then we joined a calming yoga session, perfect for all levels — gentle, relaxing, and such a beautiful way to reconnect with yourself.

After that, we enjoyed tea and homemade cookies, just sitting, chatting, and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.

We also went for a walk around the bushland and discovered the most amazing relaxing spot near the pond — we literally spent hours there just talking, laughing, and enjoying the serenity of nature.

One of the highlights was definitely the magnesium pool — so soothing and refreshing, it melts all your stress away ✨

Every part of the day felt intentional and healing — from the food to the nature to the experiences shared together.

It’s the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and enjoy meaningful time with your girls

✨ Silent Disco Sunday Fun with the Girls 💃🎧

Posted on May 4, 2026 | 3 comments

Saturday nights don’t usually look this exciting—but this one was something special. We kicked things off with a delicious Korean dinner (honestly, the food was so good—full, happy bellies all around 🍜), before heading into one of the most fun nights we’ve had in a while.

After hearing about the sell-out show earlier this year, we couldn’t miss the return of the Silent Disco by Moonlight at Sydney Town Hall—and it absolutely delivered. The whole place was glowing, beautifully lit in a way I’d never seen before. It felt magical the moment we walked in.

We grabbed our LED headphones, switched between channels, and instantly got into the vibe. Three DJs, three different music channels—everything from 80s throwbacks to 90s R&B and 00s pop classics. The best part? Everyone dancing to their own beat but still completely in sync. Singing at the top of our lungs, laughing, switching channels mid-song—it was chaos in the best way possible.

There’s just something about being surrounded by hundreds of people, all vibing, dancing, and having the best time—yet it still feels so personal with your own music in your ears. It was the perfect mix of nostalgia, fun, and carefree energy.

But honestly, what made the night unforgettable was the company. Catching up with the girls, dancing like no one’s watching, and just enjoying the moment—it was everything I needed.

Already counting down to the next one 💫

Manly 10 KM FUN RUN

Posted on February 6, 2018 | 2 comments

On 3rd Feb, Saturday I went for the 10 km Manly Fun Run with some of my friends.

Manly Fun Run is a popular, family-friendly event which invites participants of all levels to take part in a fun-filled weekend featuring the Dee Why to Manly Sun Run. The run is through the picturesque Manly beach headland and the national park of North Head, with distances of 10km, 5km and 2km. Both the 5km and 2km events are pram friendly. Apart from the fun and fitness you will be helping to raise monies for the many charities that Manly Rotary support on the peninsula and throughout Sydney.

I had done City2Surf before but this was my first time for this event.

We went and stayed in a hotel in Manly the night before. We went for an early dinner and went to bed by 9:30 as we were heading to Dee why at 6 am the next morning.

On the day of the run we woke up early, got ready and caught a bus to Dee Why. The bus was full of people doing the same event so everyone looked excited and ready to run.

As we got off the bus and walked to the start point, it started raining so heavily that we all got drenched before the race had even started. I had never had this experience before. Although in another 5 minutes the rain got lighter and we started the run. There was more hill in this run that City2Surf but they were smaller ones.

It was definitely a good run as we ran along picturesque beach looking at some amazing house and beautiful park.

Along the way, there were a few drizzles and once it rained heavily but we enjoyed the cool rain as we were running.

Personally, I felt the run was good and not as difficult as expected.

We finished the run in an hour and 17 minutes which was not bad considering we ran and walked few kms as well.

It was a great experience and I am glad I did it. I hope to plan and run more this year.

Have a great week everyone!

Singapore adventures 

Posted on January 31, 2018 | 2 comments

As I had mentioned before, we went to Singapore for our Christmas – New Year break.

Initially, I really want to go to Phillipines but we end up going to Singapore at the last minute. Can you imagine the cost of the flight and accommodation when you book during such a busy period? I am just glad that we still managed to have a holiday.

Anyway, Chhori was excited about the holiday from the day we booked the flight and told her about it.

I am so glad to see that she will be a traveler like her parents and enjoy new stuff in life. When we were boarding our flight to Singapore, she was so excited that she was dancing and jumping and saying, “We are going to Singapore for holiday.” Making all the onlookers smile.

We had an evening flight from Sydney so it was perfect for Chhori and me as she slept most of the 9 hours flight while AS couldn’t sleep a wink. For some reason AS can’t sleep on the plane making it hard for him when we reach our destination.

When we reached Singapore, it was 3 am in the morning so we caught a cab 🚕 and went straight to our hotel. We checked in and were very happy with our room. We got upgraded to a better room and I am so thankful to Novotel for that. They definitely gave us a very good start to our holiday.

We decided to sleep for a few hours and woke up hungry. We had breakfast at the hotel itself and decided to go to the city for the day.

We used GRAB, a car hailing app like Uber, while in Singapore and it was so convenient as well as saving us heaps of money.

Our first stop was the Merlion Park and Marina bay. As tourists do, we went around and took heaps of photos with all the iconic monuments. 

Chhori was equally excited to see this new city. I have been to Singapore before but this time it is so much better as my baby and my better half were with me.

From there we walked the bridge to go to the other side to Mariana bay shopping centre. We had lunch there and found this amazing activities for kids.

Chhori was excited to ride on animals, play on the big sandpits with balls and toys. We spent more than one hour there before going to an art and crafts stall where we painted and made snow man out of paper before leaving.

By then Chhori was so tired that she decided to sleep on the stroller.

We decided we should have dinner before leaving and found this little restaurant serving local food. 

I ordered chicken laksa and AS had pork belly. The food was amazing and it came with local tea and koffee as they call it.

We had an amazing first day in Singapore and were very excited for the rest of the trip. 

Will write more about our holiday soon, till then take care.
