It has been a long time since I have been to Newcastle. As a kid I don’t remember it being that great. Let’s just say I wasn’t over the moon when we recently decided to take a short break to Newcastle. However, being only 2.5 hours away from Sydney, it is closer coastal getaway compared…
Simplifying Life
In recent years, I have had a deep internal push to live a more simple life. This desire was further fueled by a life threatening illness. I found myself having this increasing need to get rid of ‘stuff’ and by that I mean clutter, distractions, things and actions that is not adding value to my…
Confidence from Within
I watched the movie ‘I feel Pretty’ on the plane back home. Found it to be a great movie to remind us where true self-confidence comes from. Though I’ve been called ‘Hot’, ‘smart’ etc (going back high school days), I’ve had self confidence issues most of my life. Whether it be how I look, not…
Travel Mad Foodie
Yes folks, I have been missing in action for a while. In case you are wondering, it’s mainly due to my bucket list trip to Norway and Iceland which I have recently returned from. Indeed, there is plenty of amazing stories to come out of the trip which I will share later. Among the several…
The Sun God
It has been a while since I last wrote my blog. My time has been consumed by my demanding toddler, daily chores and preparing (countless hours) for my bucket list trip (lots of inspiration for my future blogs) – yay!!! I have been wanting to write this blog for a long time. Better now then…

Sand Dune Struggle
If there is one thing my hubby, brother, toddler and I share, it would be our thirst for adventure as well as the love of outdoors. Since it ticked both the adventure and being outdoors boxes, we visited the sand dunes by the sea yesteday. Even though it took nearly 6 hours of travel time,…
Vaucluse to Watson’s Bay (Sydney Walks)
It was a cold but sunny winter’s day in Sydney yesteday. My good mate and I ventured out for our scenic walk catchup that we do every few weeks. Since it was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine, we chose a walk along the sea with nice views. We hadn’t done this walk in…
Multiculturalism of Sydney
We are always longing to escape the city life of Sydney and live in a country with mountains, lakes, fresh air and without the hustle and bustle. However, one must also appreciate what they do have. Sydney has its good points. One being so multicultural. Last night I had this Afghan meal so authentic that…
The Power of One Word
I’ve been recently drawn to the idea of using one words to provide a powerful mantra or guidance in difficult times. It dawned on me that I have been subconsciously using this one word idea to motivate me for years. I looked around my home and took pictures of one words in form of ornaments…
