Strathfield Spring Festival

Hi everyone!

Last Saturday I went to the Strathfield Spring Festival which is held every year to celebrate the start of Spring. It is a fun day out for all ages and has great stalls, food, rides and performers. This year, the main act were In Stereo.

I will share some highlights and things that happened during the day.

I left home early in the morning because I had to go somewhere else first and it was very cold so I wore a jumper. Big mistake! It ended up being a hot day and I was uncomfortable. I rolled my sleeves up as much as possible!

I caught a shuttle bus from Strathfield Station to the park and arrived at around 10.30am. I met up with my friend Lily who I had met at Teen Vibes in July. We sat at one of the tables and had a chat. Later, we were hungry so we walked around to see what food was on offer and decided on hot chips. We bought a box each and went back to the table to eat.

While we were sitting there, we found our friend Tegan and met her friend Maddy. We talked about the face painting stand. Tegan went to find out if they take requests and they did. Tegan and Maddy got the 'In Stereo' Logo painted on their arms. It looked cool!

We saw Logan and went up to say hello. I absolutely love him! He gave us all a hug and we took photos together and I got a selfie with him. I'm so short so he had to take it for me! Vlado was there and actually photobombed our selfie! One of the girls had eaten a banana and was holding the peel. Logan asked if he could hold it for the photo, funny guy! It's always nice seeing Logan. He always puts a smile on my face.

Maddy, Tegan, Lily and I hung out together all day.We walked around looking at the rides and everything, live streamed on Instagram and enjoyed talking about our favourite guys. Logan was filming people for a video and interviewed us. He had us stand together while one of his friends filmed us. He stood behind him asking us questions like, "Who is your favourite member of In Stereo?" and "How have they helped you?" He also asked us sing one of the songs. I can't sing but it was fun trying. To be honest, I wish I had stayed out and just let the other girls do the interview. I was so awkward, moving my arms around and I probably looked terrible. I don't even remember what I said! Hopefully I didn't embarrass myself or anyone else and ruin the video. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the video! All of Logan's videos are amazing so I'm sure this will be too. While we were walking around we saw Chris and Jakob walking to the backstage area. The girls ran over to try to meet them but I didn't. I wanted to wait for the meet and greet they were going to do later. 

At around 1pm we went to the stage and sat down. The trolls were on stage entertaining the children. They were so cute and The girls and I actually danced along. In Stereo were scheduled to be on stage at 1.30pm so at that time, all the fans stood up and went to the front of the stage but the host, who was dressed as Spiderman, said they would be on later and told the teens to move back so the little kids could enjoy the acts planned for them.

Finally, In Stereo came on stage. They performed a few of their hit songs. They performed so well and had amazing energy, like they always do! The heat didn't stop anyone from dancing along. After the performance, they held a meet and greet. While my friends and I were on stage, we discussed whether we wanted to go one by one or together. I insisted on going by myself because when I'm in a group, I get anxious and don't talk. My previous meetings with In Stereo didn't go very well and this time, I wanted to have a good experience and talk to the boys. When it was my turn, Jakob waved at me as I walked up and I waved back. I told him I love his haircut and I told them that I really enjoyed their performance and Chris said thank you. We took the photo and that was it. I wish I could have had more time to talk to them but at least I said something more than "Hi" and it actually went well this time. Just before leaving, Lily and I talked to Ingrid and Leanne (Chris and Jakob's mothers) They're lovely.

I was so hot and tired when I got home but I had so much fun! I'm looking forward to seeing them all again. Below are some photos of the boys on stage.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
