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. ❤️🎶

🏃‍♀️ City2Surf 2026 💙🌊

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! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎉

A Peaceful Afternoon at Mingyue Lay Buddhist Temple

Spending the afternoon with my parents at Mingyue Lay Buddhist Temple was such a beautiful and calming experience. Tucked away in Bonnyrigg, this incredible temple is one of the largest Chinese Buddhist temples in the Southern Hemisphere and a truly special place in the Fairfield area.

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt peaceful and welcoming. The temple grounds are stunning, with beautifully designed prayer halls, intricate traditional architecture, peaceful gardens, and so many different Buddha temples and meditation rooms to explore. Every room had its own unique feeling, filled with culture, spirituality, and quiet reflection.

My parents absolutely loved walking through the temple, taking in the beautiful surroundings and learning more about the Buddhist traditions and artwork throughout the complex. It was wonderful slowing down from our busy lives and simply enjoying quality time together in such a peaceful place. The calm energy, the smell of incense, the sound of prayers and the beautiful statues made the entire visit feel incredibly special and meaningful.

Sometimes the best memories are the simple ones — spending a nice afternoon with parents, sharing conversations, exploring beautiful places, and appreciating moments together. Feeling grateful for family time, peaceful moments, and experiences that stay in your heart long after you leave.

A Beautiful Afternoon with My Parents at Fairfield City Museum & Gallery

Spent such a lovely afternoon with my parents exploring Fairfield City Museum & Gallery and honestly it was one of those special days that stays with you. From the moment we arrived, the place felt peaceful, welcoming, and full of history, culture, art, and stories from so many generations. We enjoyed fresh coffee and tea together before slowly walking through every room and exhibition, taking our time and appreciating all the beautiful details around us.

The museum itself is incredible. Established in 1983, the site is filled with history and charm. The beautiful Edwardian-style building dates back to 1913 and was once the original Council Chambers for the Smithfield and Fairfield Municipality before becoming a family home and later transforming into the museum it is today. Walking through the old rooms felt like stepping back in time. Every corner had something interesting to discover — vintage furniture, historical objects, photographs, old household items, and pieces of local history from more than 150 years ago. My parents especially loved seeing how people once lived, worked, and raised families in earlier generations. It really makes you appreciate how much life has changed over time.

One of the highlights was the nostalgic Vintage Village area. It truly felt like walking through an old Australian town from another era. The old-style buildings, shopfronts, and preserved artefacts created such a warm and authentic atmosphere. There are not too many places left that preserve history in such a beautiful and interactive way. Every room had its own story and personality, and we spent so much time simply looking around and talking about the memories it brought back.

We also explored the powerful exhibition SÔNG SỐNG SONG by Vietnamese artist James Nguyen. The exhibition was deeply moving and emotional, telling stories connected to Agent Orange and its lasting impact on families and communities. One room featured large installations of shirts washed in the Parramatta River, while another showcased video works of Nguyen’s mother and local Vietnamese aunties singing survival songs by the riverbanks. The atmosphere inside the gallery was so powerful, emotional, and reflective. You could truly feel the connection between memory, family, migration, survival, and healing through the artworks.

Another beautiful part of the visit was the We Are Here exhibition celebrating First Nations culture, storytelling, and artistic traditions in Western Sydney. The Aboriginal artworks on display were absolutely stunning and full of meaning. Through art, film, and storytelling, the exhibition highlighted the importance of visibility, connection, knowledge-sharing, and community. The colours, textures, and stories throughout the rooms created such a strong sense of culture and belonging. My parents really enjoyed learning more about the local Aboriginal history and seeing the incredible creativity of the artists, Elders, and students involved in the project.

What made the day truly special though was simply spending quality time together. Walking through every gallery room, sharing conversations over coffee and tea, admiring the artwork, learning about history, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings made it such a meaningful experience. Sometimes the best days are not about big plans, but about slowing down and appreciating beautiful moments with family. Feeling grateful for these memories with my parents and for places like this that keep stories, culture, art, and history alive for future generations.

Golden Autumn Mornings in Sydney 🍂🌅

Autumn in Sydney has been quietly showing off lately 🍂✨
The crisp morning air, the golden light, and those peaceful walks that somehow feel like a reset for the whole day. I’ve been getting into a routine of early morning walks and honestly, it’s been such a gift.

There’s something special about watching the sunrise paint the sky in soft hues while the world is still waking up. It’s in these simple moments—cool breeze, warm sunshine, and a calm mind—that you really feel grateful. Feeling lucky to witness this beauty every day 🌅
