A Roaring Good Time at Sydney Zoo: Dino Adventures and Family Fun

Posted on January 15, 2025 | Leave a comment

We recently invested in an annual pass for Sydney Zoo, and it has been one of the best decisions for our family outings. The kids absolutely love it, and we try to visit as often as possible. On our last trip, the zoo had a dinosaur exhibition, which turned the visit into an unforgettable adventure for our little ones.

The kids were overjoyed as they walked among life-sized replicas of dinosaurs. My son, a budding dino enthusiast, amazed us with his knowledge, correctly naming most of the dinosaurs on display, including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, and Stegosaurus. Watching his excitement as he recognised each creature and shared facts about them was heartwarming. Both kids eagerly explored the exhibit, moving from one dinosaur to the next, thrilled to learn more about these prehistoric giants.

One of the best things about Sydney Zoo is its manageable size. Unlike larger zoos, this one allows us to complete a tour in just a couple of hours, making it perfect for young children who might tire out after too much walking. Despite its compact layout, the zoo offers an incredible variety of animals and experiences.

Along side the dinosaurs, we wandered through the regular zoo exhibits, where we enjoyed seeing lions, giraffes, and kangaroos. The kids particularly loved watching the meerkats play and seeing the cheeky monkeys swing from tree to tree.

Sydney Zoo truly caters to families, with plenty of shaded rest areas, a café with kid-friendly meals, and even a fun playground where children can burn off extra energy. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable, happy to answer the endless stream of questions from curious little minds.

What makes the annual pass even more exciting is that the zoo plans different themes throughout the year, ensuring there’s always something new to experience. We can’t wait to see what’s next and are looking forward to making many more memories.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly day out that combines fun and learning, Sydney Zoo is the place to be. For our dinosaur-loving son, it’s become his favourite destination, and we couldn’t be happier seeing him so thrilled. Here’s to more adventures at the zoo!

Hair story

Posted on June 11, 2024 | 2 comments

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had thin, fine hair. I always envied people with long, thick, luscious locks. So, when I got pregnant with my kids, I fervently wished they would inherit better hair than mine. Thankfully, both of them got their dad’s amazing hair genes!

AS has the most beautiful, thick, black hair. So far, he’s had no problems with hair fall and not a single strand of grey. His hair is just as perfect as it can be!

Chhori has inherited her dad’s long, thick, straight hair. It grows so fast! When she was a baby with short hair, it used to stand up like a punk rock style, even without any product. I had to put headbands and cute clips on her just so people would know she was a girl.

Now, we keep cutting it, but it just keeps growing back thicker and longer. I’m so happy for her because she’ll have so many style options as she grows up and won’t have to worry about thin hair like I do.

Chhora was born with thick, curly hair. We let it grow until he was three, and on his third birthday, we took a photo of his beautiful natural curls full of volume. But as he grew, it became harder to manage all the knots, and shower time turned into a big ordeal. So, we decided to cut it before he turned four. Now he has short hair, but it’s still so thick and lovely!

Hair has always been a bit of a struggle for me, but seeing my kids with their fabulous hair makes me so happy. How about you? What kind of hair do you have? If you have thin hair like mine, how do you manage it? Share your tips and stories! 😊💇‍♀️💇‍♂️

One-Word Family Fun!

Posted on June 8, 2024 | Leave a comment

I love getting the whole family involved in everything, especially sparking fun conversations. The other day, I stumbled upon this trending idea where kids describe their parents in a single word, and I thought, “Why not give it a go?”

So, I gathered everyone around and asked them to describe each family member in just one word. Here’s how it went down:

WhoFor MeFor ASFor ChhoriFor Chhora
MeLoveEmpatheticRadiant
ASBeautifulHappyCheeky
ChhoriBeautifulSmartPowerranger
ChhoraNice SmartPrincess

The whole conversation was a blast! I loved how it turned into a whirlwind of positive and emotional feelings. 😄💬

Have you ever done something like this with your family? Share any other fun games you enjoy! And how would you describe yourself in just one word? Let me know in the comments below! 🌟🎉

Plane Spotting at the Beach ✈️

Posted on June 6, 2024 | Leave a comment


After our brunch at Muglan, we decided to take the kids to watch the planes take off and land at The Grand Parade in Brighton-Le-Sands. We used to live around this area, and it has always been one of my favourite activities.

Located just south of Sydney Airport, Brighton-Le-Sands Beach is part of Lady Robinsons Beach and is the perfect destination for anyone looking for a sunny reprieve with beautiful views. At the end of the beach, you are so close to Sydney International Airport that you can see the planes land and take off up close.
I’ve always loved this spot. You can get some amazing landing photos of planes, and the area is surrounded by a beautiful beach. Parking here is easy, and the walk to the plane spotting spot is straightforward. The beach is lively, filled with people fishing, and the nearby rock pools are great to explore and spot wildlife such as crabs, fish, and seagulls.


We walked along the rocks and found a perfect spot where we could see the planes take off and land. We saw some big aircraft, and the kids got incredibly excited.

We spent some time just waiting for the next plane and then the next. The thrill of watching each plane ascend and descend was exhilarating for the kids and nostalgic for us.

It was a beautiful sunny day with a clear blue sky, making it the perfect time to spend with the kids. The weather was ideal for plane spotting, and the joy on the kids’ faces was priceless. The sound of the waves crashing and the sight of the planes soaring made it a memorable experience.

On the way back to the car park, we stopped at the kids’ playground where the kids had a blast while we took a moment to rest. The playground was well-equipped and safe, providing a fun diversion for the little ones. It was a really nice family time together.

Have you ever been to Brighton-Le-Sands for plane spotting? Share your experience!

Have a nice weekend !!!

Celebrating Anniversary @ Kyūbi Modern Asian Dining

Posted on June 29, 2018 | Leave a comment

First of all, a million thanks for everyone who wished us on our anniversary. We feel so happy and blessed with all the warm anniversary wishes that came through Facebook, sms, blog, Instagram and calls. Thank you once again everyone.

AS bought me mesh bracelets which I loved.

We were lucky that our anniversary fell on a Sunday this year. My SIL looked after Chhori so we had the day to ourselves.

Since becoming parents, we don’t like to leave Chhori with someone for very long so we decided to take the afternoon to celebrate instead of the evening.

We dropped Chhori off and then went to the movie first.

The pick of the day was Jurassic World. I am not a big fan of the Jurassic series like AS is but I did enjoy the movie.

It was a fun movie and really enjoyed the graphics and animations.

After the movie, we went for lunch at this beautiful restaurant called Kyūbi Modern Asian Dining.

They described themselves as Modern Asian Dining and aspire to create a dining experience that brings people together over the love of food.

It is named after the mythical 9 Tail Fox, the Kyūbi features as folklore in many East Asian cultures. The 9 tails represent the various Asian cultures from which they draw inspiration and flavors.

I absolutely loved the decor of the place as it had some beautiful show pieces hanging on the walls from different Asian countries. It had sufficient privacy for groups of guests and was spacious.

The lady who served us was amazing as well with knowledge of the food and service was with smiles. She was very attentive to our needs and the service was genuine and not put on.

Looking at the menu we decided to go for their tasting plate so we could have a taste of everything yummy and it was definitely a good decision.

The portion sizes were perfect and each of the courses came out in a timely manner. It really is a great way to eat because you don’t have to eat a big main meal in one go.

So our menu contained

Entrees:

Char grilled salmon pla bon perilla leaf

Handmade prawn and pork shumai

Prawn has gow dumplings

Salt & Pepper Tofu pickled vegetables

Main:

Bulgoogi Korean lamb ribs

Wilted Asian leaves with dried shrimp

Slow cooked lamb ‘crying tiger’

Salt and Chilli King Prawn’s chilli mayonnaise

Vegetarian Fried Rice bamboo shoots, snow peas, water chestnut

Dessert:

Mango pudding with tapioca pearls, fresh fruit and lychee granita

The food was delicious and nicely flavored and very light but at the same time very filling. We will be going back again for sure.

By the time it was dessert time, I was so stuffed that I didn’t want to eat anymore but still tasted it.

We asked if they could write “Happy Anniversary” for us and they did. It was really nice.

While talking to the lady, we discovered that both the chefs in the kitchen were from Nepal so we went and said our hello after lunch.

Overall, we had a great afternoon and it was even better when we saw Chhori who was waiting for us with a big smile. She was so happy to spend the day with my nephew.

 Take care ,
