Glow Sydney 2024

Posted on May 21, 2024 | 2 comments

Having two little ones means that I’m always on the lookout for ways to keep them entertained, especially during winter when it’s cold and the days are as short. Luckily, we stumbled upon something spectacular last weekend – Glow at Sydney Zoo!

We’ve been eyeing this event for a few years now, but it always sells out quick. This year, we were smart cookies and snagged our tickets early during the pre-sale.

Glow at Sydney Zoo is a dazzling light show featuring a light walk, Ferris wheel, Glowy Golf, Vortex Tunnel, and heaps more. Even though the evening was a bit wet, it didn’t dampen our spirits one bit.

Our adventure began at the GLOW Zone in the car park, where the kids had an absolute blast playing the free Glow Golf. Next up, the mind-bending Vortex Tunnel – fun and a bit scary, we even went through twice because the kids couldn’t get enough! Then, it was time for some bump car madness, which had us all in stitches.

We snapped some pics at the Glow sign and wings, then took a well-deserved break with some coffee and scrumptious donuts.

From there, we headed into the Glow Light Walk. We were mesmerised by the giant fiery centrepiece, Ignite, and immersed ourselves in the symphony of dancing lights with the captivating Water Walk.

Of course, we had to snap a pic with the iconic Glow sign.

Next, we dove into the enchanting depths of the Aquarium After-Dark experience and explored the world’s largest Reptile & Nocturnal House, encountering hundreds of fascinating critters.
Seeing the zoo after dark was a whole different experience.

Our grand finale was the light-up see-saw area, where the kids had so much fun they didn’t want to leave.


All in all, we had an absolute blast of a time at Glow and I highly recommend it, especially for families with young kids.

Chhora said : Rain !!!

Posted on May 21, 2024 | Leave a comment

Driving with my little guy is always an adventure, especially when his imagination kicks into high gear!

Case in point: one night, as we’re cruising along, he hits me with this gem:

Son: “Hey mama, where’s the button to spray water and clean the car?”

Me: “It’s over here on my side,.”

Son: “Push it, Mama!”

Me: “Not right now, sweetie. I’m driving, and it’s dark out. It could be dangerous.”

Son: with all the confidence in the world “Don’t worry, Mum. The car will think it’s raining, and the wipers will do the cleaning for you.”

And just like that, he unveils his genius solution made me realise just how limitless a child’s imagination can be.

Chhori Said : Peace and quiet!

Posted on May 21, 2024 | 5 comments

Get ready for some sass straight from the mouth of Chhori, our little firecracker! She’s nine now, and trust me, she knows more than enough to keep us on our toes. So, brace yourselves for her witty retorts and clever comebacks as we dive into another edition of “What Chhori Said.”

Picture this: the whole gang chilling in the living room, soaking up some family time. My hubby, bless his heart, leans over to me with those loving eyes and whispers those three magic words, “I love you.” Classic, right? But before I could bask in the romance, our daughter, the one and only Chhori, throws in her two cents from across the room.

She gives us this look, all knowing and mischievous, and goes, “Oh, but you’re forgetting something, Papa. You also crave peace and quiet, and let’s face it, you’re never getting that around here!”

And just like that, she drops the mic at nine years old! Can you believe the sass on this kid? But hey, that’s the beauty of parenting in the modern age, where even the little ones come armed with enough wit to rival a stand-up comedian. 😊

Chhora Said !!!

Posted on May 21, 2024 | 10 comments

Welcome to the debut of “Chhora Said”! Get ready to dive into the adorable and hilarious world of parenting a 4-year-old boy. They may be little, but trust me, they pack a punch when it comes to wit and love.

Let’s kick things off with a classic convo between me and my little man:

Me: “Hey, did you know I have two babies?”

Son: with a twinkle in his eye “Um, nope. You’ve got two big babies and one super big daddy.”

And just like that, he drops a truth bomb with the innocence only a 4-year-old can muster! Kids these days, I tell ya, they keep us on our toes with their unexpected wisdom and boundless charm. Stay tuned for more priceless moments from our little Chhora.

Quick summary of last 5 years

Posted on May 20, 2024 | 10 comments

Hello everyone,


Thank you to everyone who has rediscovered my blog! Please leave a comment to say hello and encourage me.

A lot has happened in the world and in my life over the past five years. Just before COVID turned everything upside down, we welcomed a beautiful new addition to our family on 14 July 2019—our son, who I’ll refer to as Chhora, which means “son” in Nepali.

Now, we’re a family of four living our lives here in Sydney, Australia.

Can you believe it? Chhori is 9 years old already! Time sure flies. She’s in Year 4 now and absolutely loves swimming, playing the piano and glockenspiel, singing, and dancing around like there’s no tomorrow. Just like all the kids these days, she’s dreaming of becoming a social media creator one day. She reckons I’m from the “older generation” and never lets me forget it!

I feel incredibly blessed to have her in my life. Growing up, I always wished for a sister, and now I get to experience that special bond with her. She’s my official BFF, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

AS and I are riding the wild rollercoaster of parenting two incredible, beautiful kids. They’re strong-willed and cheeky, but they know how to turn on the charm when it suits them! You’ll definitely hear a lot about our adventures with Chhori and Chhora on this blog.

Stay tuned for the fun and chaos!

We’ve moved house once during this time, travelled to a few places, and made heaps of memories that I hope to share with you all here.

I’m still working in the IT industry, doing my best to keep up with its fast-paced nature.

On a personal note, I feel like I’ve grown so much over the last five years. I’ve learned to appreciate life more, cherish the small things, and be grateful for everything I have.

Whether it’s my age or my life experiences, I find myself content with this beautiful life and plan to live every moment to the fullest.

Of course, like everyone, I have my good days and bad days, but I’m learning not to get too down on the bad ones or too carried away on the good ones.

Cheers to living in the moment!
