Sushant KC Live in Sydney 🎶

It had been such a long time since hubby and I went to a concert together, so when we got the chance to see Sushant KC live in Sydney, we were both really looking forward to a night of music, just the two of us.

Sushant KC’s Sydney concert was held at The Crescent in Parramatta Park as part of his Pahuna Australia Tour. It was an open-air concert, which sounded lovely when we first planned it – music, a Sydney evening and an outdoor setting. But on the day, I started getting a little nervous about the weather. It had rained earlier in the afternoon, and I kept wondering whether the evening was going to turn into one of those nights where you spend more time worrying about the weather than enjoying the concert! 😄

Thankfully, my worries didn’t last long.

Once we arrived and the atmosphere started building, everything felt different. There was such a lovely energy in the crowd, with so many Nepali faces, familiar songs and people excited to see Sushant perform live. After spending so much time in our usual family routine, it was actually really nice to step out with hubby, enjoy some music and simply have a fun night together.

And Sushant really delivered.

I thought he was a very good live performer. His stage presence was strong, he connected well with the audience and you could feel the crowd getting more involved as the night went on. There is something special about hearing Nepali songs live, surrounded by people who know the words, sing along and share that same connection to the music. ❤️

I particularly enjoyed the way the concert brought together the music and the crowd. It wasn’t just about standing there and listening — people were singing, dancing, taking photos and enjoying the moment. For me, that was probably one of the nicest parts of the whole evening.

Of course, the outdoor venue did make me think about one thing!

As beautiful as an open-air concert can be, I think I would personally choose an indoor venue next time. 😄 You just never know what Sydney weather is going to do. One minute you’re worried about rain, then you’re thinking about the heat, and then you’re wondering if you brought enough layers for later in the evening!

An indoor venue would definitely make it easier to relax and enjoy the music without constantly thinking about whether the weather is going to cooperate.

But having said that, the weather didn’t take away from what turned out to be a really enjoyable night. In fact, I think the little bit of uncertainty beforehand made us appreciate the evening even more.

It was also nice to have some couple time. With work, kids, family and everything else that fills our days, we don’t always get the chance to go out together and enjoy a concert like this. So standing there next to hubby, listening to Nepali music and enjoying the atmosphere felt like one of those simple moments that you realise you’ve been missing.

Sushant was great, the crowd was full of energy and the whole evening gave us some lovely memories to take home.

Would I choose an outdoor concert again? Maybe… depending on the weather forecast! 😂

But would I go see Sushant KC perform live again? Absolutely. He was a good performer with great stage presence and it was wonderful to see a Nepali artist bringing so much energy to the Sydney stage.

Sometimes it’s not just about the concert itself. It’s about getting dressed up, heading out together, singing along to songs you know, being surrounded by your community and creating a memory with the person sitting beside you.

And after a long time, it was really nice to have one of those nights with my hubby. ❤️🎶

A Romantic Staycation at Shangri-La Sydney

Celebrating 15 Years of Us ❤️✨ | A Romantic Staycation at Shangri-La Sydney

To celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary, we decided to do something a little different this year — instead of travelling somewhere far, we chose to enjoy a special staycation in our beautiful city, Sydney. And honestly, it turned out to be one of the most memorable and meaningful celebrations we’ve had together.

What made this anniversary even more special was that this was actually our first overnight stay away together as a couple since becoming parents over 11 years ago. That feels hard to believe. Life over the years has been wonderfully busy with raising our two beautiful kids, family routines, celebrations, school life, weekend activities and all the everyday moments that fill our hearts.

So this time, we chose to celebrate us.

Before anything else, I feel incredibly grateful to my parents for being here and looking after the kids so we could enjoy this time together. Knowing they were safe, happy and having fun meant we could truly switch off and enjoy every moment. ❤️

For this special occasion, we stayed at Shangri-La Sydney — and it honestly could not have been more perfect for an anniversary getaway.

From the moment we arrived, everything felt calm, luxurious and special. The hotel has such an elegant atmosphere but still feels warm and welcoming. Then we walked into our room… and wow. The room was absolutely beautiful, but the real highlight was the view. Looking out over Sydney and seeing the harbour, city skyline and that iconic view made us stop and appreciate just how lucky we are to live in this amazing city. Sometimes we forget to be tourists in our own city.

To make the stay even more special, my husband had planned little surprises for me. He decorated the room beautifully and completely surprised me with a thoughtful gift that I absolutely loved. It was such a sweet reminder that after 15 years together, he still finds ways to make me feel special and celebrated.

One of the highlights of our stay was having dinner at Altitude Restaurant inside the hotel. The combination of incredible food and panoramic views over Sydney created such a romantic atmosphere. Sitting together, enjoying dinner while watching the city lights sparkle below us, felt like the perfect way to celebrate this milestone. It wasn’t just dinner — it felt like taking a moment to appreciate everything we’ve built together over the last 15 years.

After dinner, we simply enjoyed being together — no distractions, no routines, just time to talk, laugh and enjoy the quiet.

The next morning became one of my favourite memories from the whole trip. We woke up early to watch the sunrise over Sydney, and it was honestly magical. Watching the city slowly wake up while the sky changed colours was such a peaceful and romantic way to celebrate our anniversary. There was something so special about experiencing that moment together in the city we call home.

Afterwards, we headed down for breakfast at the hotel and took our time enjoying everything. Delicious food, coffee, relaxed conversations and nowhere to rush to — it felt like such a luxury. We made the most of the hotel amenities, slowed down and really enjoyed every moment before heading back to reality.

This stay reminded me that celebrations don’t always need big trips or extravagant plans. Sometimes all you need is time together, beautiful views and space to reconnect.

Fifteen years later, I still feel so lucky and grateful that I found my person. Through every season of life — marriage, parenthood, challenges, growth and countless memories — I wouldn’t want to do this with anyone else.

Here’s to 15 years of love, friendship, partnership and choosing each other every single day ❤️🥂

And thank you, Sydney and Shangri-La, for giving us the most beautiful backdrop to celebrate us. ✨
