How I Celebrate the Small and Big Wins in Life

How often do we remember to take care of ourselves? Do we always have to wait for a big achievement to celebrate? Don’t the little wins matter too? These are some of the questions that popped into my mind recently—when I completed a 2-year project at work place. Read on to know how I celebrated this achievement.

Reaping the results of hard work

If there’s one lesson that has stuck to my head since my school days, it is that ‘hard work always pays off’. I’ve been working as the project coordinator for the past 3 years at one of the local ad agencies here in Sydney. I was assigned a new project in my second year and I believe it’s one of the best things that has happened to me. However, looking back, I feel proud that I proactively worked towards seeing its final outcome. The official completion of the project will be in November. Perfect time to celebrate aboard one of the Christmas party cruises in Sydney, isn’t it? I should heartily mention my team members who deserve equal appreciation in this project. Perhaps, I’ll take them too aboard for a harbour cruise with a Christmas party in Sydney.

Celebrating the Little Wins as Much as the Big Wins

All my days, since the time I graduated from college, I’ve been working day in and out, for money of course. But sometimes I questioned why I was working so hard. I needed a break too. And that’s when I started celebrating my little wins just like my bigger wins at work.

Treating myself didn’t just mean helping myself to loads of food, drinks and goodies. I had to celebrate every little moment of my life. But ‘how’, you may ask? I’ll paint you a picture here: Last year around this time, I was just recovering from a bad fight with my family and they disowned me. My only source of income was my 9 to 5 job and one day I met with an accident. I was hospitalised for a week following a severe fracture in my right leg. I can now imagine the grimace on your face as you read this. But hear me out folks. I’m glad I had some savings to fall back on. After a few months, I started working from home and was soon back on my feet. If it weren’t for that one accident, I wouldn’t be grateful for whatever I have today. Presently, I am expecting a promotion and a salary hike too. It doesn’t look so bad now, does it? My personal definition of ‘treating’ revolves around taking care of oneself every day and celebrating and being grateful for everything in my life.

Accepting Life’s Highs & Lows

Sometimes, when I look at a calendar, I wonder about the unequal distribution of holidays. You might even argue about why Christmas in Australia should be celebrated in July and not in December (for obvious reasons). But does anything good come of it? Not at all. And life is just like that. Sometimes life gives you the most citric lemons and oranges that you might not be able to accommodate. But sometimes it’s honey and rainbows. And it’s unpredictable; you gotta take them as it comes. Life teaches you, humbles you and mostly proves you wrong too. But all through this, if you work hard enough to keep yourself sane, you could probably make a meaning of it. You may take my word for it.

Unique Alternatives to Regular Office Parties

It’s only a matter of time before companies start throwing office parties or after-hour activities to celebrate a year of hard work and commitment. This time of the year is also an opportunity for employers to show appreciation to their staff. But throwing any mediocre party is not enough. The last thing you want is a room full of awkward handshakes and uncomfortable smiles. It’s up to the host or organiser to assemble a party or event that can build camaraderie among workers and revitalise them to go back to the office on Monday.

Here’s how you can put a different spin to the usual holiday parties!

The Christmas Party Harbour Cruises in Sydney

Cruises offer the perfect setting to connect and show love to each other. Celebrate by bringing a cake and savouring it while looking at some of the most stunning sights of the city. If you’re looking for your colleagues to canonise you for the most spectacular party ever, then this is it! Whatever the occasion–business meetings, conferences, award ceremonies, workshops–the cruises are an excellent venue. There are many vessels for you to choose from but the one that stands out the most is the classic paddlewheeler. The old-world charm and the overall class which is seen throughout this legendary vessel is second to none and with a multi-course menu, you are guaranteed a memorable time out in Sydney! Add that to the fully -licensed bar and the wide range of beverage upgrades and you got yourself the best harbour cruise for a Christmas party.

How about a themed party ?

Throw it back to the 80s or 70s, to your college days, or even try setting up a theme party of your favourite sitcom. Do a poll beforehand to know which is the fan favourite show among your colleagues or friends. For example, if you’re hosting a How I Met Your Mother office party, you could rent out a pub or bar for one night and blow the roof off the place. Fill the night with tons of slap bets, yellow umbrellas and never have I evers. You can also surprise them with a laser tag or paintball! Play a couple of games involving a stolen pineapple, life-sized stormtroopers or blue-french horns, sip on some of the finest scotches and play a series of “ Have you met..”. You can even ask the workers to dress up as their favourite characters and play respective roles!

Give Back

Holidays typically ooze a delightful, vibrant energy but it is also one of the most stressful times of the year, due to the packed schedule and over-expectations. As a boss or organiser, you can cook up something to show your colleagues that you care about them and encourage them to get through this last stretch of the year. Set up an award ceremony, make sure everyone is involved, make prior lists of who gets what so that no one is left behind and maybe even deck up the office. If possible, try making the awards monetary as it will be of great benefit if its during the holidays

Slay a weekend away

If you're looking to wander away from the big smoke and plan a quick trip away, then there are few options worth considering. If only just for a weekend there's plenty of options that are synonymous with the hippie lifestyle, from glamping and camping to farm stays. If you have all the necessary gear, just pack everything up and head to some of the most glorious camping locations across the state including The Basin, Glenworth Valley, Mystery Bay Camping Area and more! Sometimes all we need is a little time out in nature with the best company, so don’t even think twice on this pick!

Unrivalled Sydney Venues for the Ultimate Corporate Event

Going back to the office on a Monday can only be smoothened by corporate parties. Yes, it’s going to be that time of the year again– those events at the end of the year to make everyone merry and drink lots of themed cocktails and beers. These office parties are often held to show appreciation to employees for a year of hardwork and maybe for some, the only chance to bond and team-build. The venue makes for more than half of the success in such parties and if you still haven't found yours, check out this list.

Corporate Christmas Party Cruises on Sydney Harbour

Surely there are plenty of restaurants and private dining rooms in the city to plan a casual team outing, but hosting a classy event onboard one of the top boats on Sydney Harbour is a different gravy. If you're keen on impressing your colleagues or even your boss, then this is your pick. Book a cruise on the authentic paddlewheeler for an unforgettable wine and dine experience on the harbour waters, surrounded by luminous city lights and the iconic landmarks of the nation. Cruise on this classic vessel for a fun night out with your companions–share intimate moments on the wrap-around verandahs, take advantage of the onboard bars, savour delicious food and enjoy the hour-long cabaret show!

And if you prefer a day party, then the Harbour cruise Christmas party lunch would be your go-to option. A lunch cruise sets the right ambience to enjoy mouth-watering food and drinks with your team; and with the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge in the background, expect nothing short of spectacular!

Escape Rooms!

If you're looking to stay away from the norm and do something unique for your corporate team that will remain treasured for many years, then you should give Escape Rooms a go! This is one of those exhilarating, out-of-the-box venues to host a Christmas Party and will be ideal to improve morale and team cohesion. Sydney has a bunch of escape rooms and the newer “challenge rooms” including Escape Hunt, The Cipher Room, Next Level Escape and Hijinx Hotel. With unique team-building games, mystery puzzles and unusual clues, you and your buddies will be immersed in a highly interactive game where you would communicate with each other like never before and work as a team! This makes it an excellent choice for office parties.

Disco-theme?

Perhaps the one thing that’s synonymous with office parties around the world is that it's such a snore. But hey, yours don’t have to be like that. Combine every element of a throwback, recommend a theme, create costume ideas that travel back to the 70s, or any other decade! Make it that everyone should come to the party with the fashion trend of the said period and dance to the respective music at that time. If you're looking to kick it up even further, make drinks and snacks also period-appropriate! Tatler in Darlinghurst is the perfect venue for such parties with the right amount of features to make it seem as a private home, except for the part of cleaning up yourself! They even offer DJs, pianists, acrobats and other performers to ensure you enjoy something of a shotopper!

Rooftop Part-aay!

Rooftops are always a win situation for corporate events. Glenmore Hotel in The Rocks is dubbed as the best rooftop garden in Sydney and rightly so. Perfect for long lunches, whether it be a cocktail for 150 people or a BBQ for 20, soaking up the sun and relaxing while enjoying views of the harbour is an experience worth remembering. Even if you prefer to stay indoors the lounge will be ideal since it has a great reputation for hosting hundreds of successful private functions and gatherings.

Do you know why tourists around the world are so attracted to Australia? I can tell you why. Because, Australia is often recognised as a wonderland among the tourists.

The indegenous people aka Aboriginals, maintained an interdependent relationship with nature. That mystical connection and nature worship can still be seen in various locations.

Let me help you to find the best spot if you have plans to visit Australia during this summer season, in its favourite month, to celebrate the upcoming Xmas with family and friends.

Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
Like I said earlier, Australia is full of surprises and wonders. Have you heard anything about coloured rocks and lakes? You should definitely visit Australia if you want to witness these unique natural wonders.

Some Unique and Unparalleled Christmas Party Ideas

Sydney being one of the handful of major cities in the world, never forgets to host both summer parties and festive Christmas party venues around Sydney in one go.

Sydney, the gracious city with wondrous locations can easily accommodate all your bills and choices by offering everything right from a 5-star rated rooftop bars to stunning Christmas party cruises on Sydney Harbour. No matter what kind of Christmas bash you’re in search of, these little expert tips will definitely come in handy to help you throughout the season.
Get on board a Christmas party cruise to enjoy the roving vistas of Sydney Harbour for around 3 hours. Let it be an authentic paddlewheeler, ultra-modern catamaran, or even a premium glass boat vessel. Host a fun night for your friends and family and relish in the spectacular harbour views and delicious dining. Depending on the vessel, you can enjoy a multi-cuisine buffet, seated and served menu, or a signature menu. You will also be able to make your party perfect with adding a selection of drinks that are available on purchase from the fully licensed bar on board. What if you are too busy in the night but still in need of a cruise dining? Don’t worry. Hop aboard a Xmas party lunch cruise and enjoy the spectacular Sydney Harbour attractions such as the Harbour Bridge and Opera House in the festive atmosphere for around 2 hours. Never forget to click some amazing photographs in the background and share it on social media.
Begin your search early and book your tickets for the most popular cruises in Sydney in advance so that you can celebrate this special day on a cruise with your friends and family. It would be never too late– but I can help you find even a last minute Christmas party venue and idea, if it comes to that. But do remember the fact that an early bird is the one who catches the worm.
What about some in-house entertainment programme? Choose your favourite Xmas classic and sing with your workmates or friends. Make merry in your home by setting up a theme. Prepare some cocktails, starters, and some Xmas favourites. Try to make that conventional Aussie BBQ with your folks while soaking up the afternoon sun and sipping Australian red and whites. I’m sure that you will not ask for more. Let your Christmas karaoke hit. Loosen up your hair and lace up your shoes. Wish happy Christmas to one and all!
If you are not in for an in-house entertainment programme, I can suggest something else to give a try. Melbourne, after Sydney, is one of the most visited and most attractive cities in Australia. Rent a bicycle and stroll at the Melbourne city centre. See how the season hits the town. Get into a club, vintage shop, or even to some amazing restaurants and cafes. Taste some special Aussie Sparklings along with local cocktail varieties and delicious fish and meat pies, chips, and Aussie Tim Tams. You can even purchase some pretty cool goodies for your friends. Melbourne CBD might be an ideal place if you are in search of some pretty cool places for office Xmas parties since it is recognised as an all-important corporate hub. There are some pretty cool waterfront dining and cruising options in Melbourne. Get on board an elegant cruise with your colleagues and enjoy a remarkable experience. If you are a beach person, you can even try to visit and explore some of the prettiest beaches from Port Melbourne to St Kilda Beach.

Planning a Summer in Sydney? The Domain is Waiting for You!

Hello friends across the globe!
Are you people in hibernation? Well, I’m not.
I am in Sydney enjoying the pleasant, peaceful summer days of the season. So, today I am planning to share some insights I have regarding how to spend a quality time in the Sydney summer.
Welcome back to my Sydney Stories!

Dine out on a cruise
Of course... It is Christmas here! If you are planning to fly across the sea to have an extraordinary Christmas Day celebration in Sydney, I can help you to choose one. There are various Christmas party venues in Sydney you can go around from 5 star rooftop bars, super luxurious restaurants, and to harbour cruises. Enjoying a gripping season in a cruising restaurant with family and friends, all partying and enjoying together with high quality dining set up and freshly prepared menu is like a “plan”. In Sydney Harbour, there is a wide variety of Christmas party cruises in Sydney Harbour. If you want to enjoy it to the fullest, choose the famous showboat Christmas party deluxe dinner or buffet lunch 3 hour cruise at the harbour. The dining saloon with a theatre style layout and its 1 hour long cabaret show with harbour views are actually a delight. If you are looking for extra fun, you should go and get a ticket.

Cool off at Bondi Beach
Grab all your necessary items such as towel, shower gel etc. and head to Bondi Beach when you need a break. Summer is the best time to enjoy the Sydney beaches. You can feel the golden sand between your toes all cooling and refreshing both your mind and body. You will definitely get to know about the marine lifestyle and livelihood. Bondi Beach will definitely let you bask in the weather. The warm pristine bleached stretch of sand and the refreshing serene beach water made Bondi beach as one of the national heritage sites of Australia. You also have to remember that Bondi beach is not always about beach water and bleached sand, it has some amazing sets of high quality restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and cultural centers to have fun with.

Interested in Manly Beach?
Around a 30 minute ride from the Circular Quay can lead you to Manly Wharf, one of the best in the Harbour City, the site that is perfect to laze in the sun. I bet it will definitely be a part of the adventure, a quintessential experience! Go for a dip in the gentle harbourside waters of Manly Cove and then head through the historic Corso to Manly Beach. If you have never been to surfing; believe me, it is the time. There is a famous Manly Surf School since 1983 for both children and adults. Don’t forget to pack your swimmers folks… the Sydney waterfront has invited you in!

What about visiting some cool guys?
Do you need a switch on the sight seeing pattern? Okay. Let’s hop back on the ferry and cruise over to Taronga Zoo. Ride the cable car to the top of the hill and follow the paths back down, and have some really cool pictures with the happiest, relaxed set of animals. Taronga Zoo is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Sydney since it is one among the most famous wildlife parks in Australia. Exploring a zoo in summer can be tiring, so make sure that you have water in your hand and also, wear some comfortable clothes. These two can actually help you to be in a balance. But there are cafes and eateries, parent’s rooms, first aid facilities and so on. You can spend almost 4 hours in the zoo. It is open with all Covid safety measures.

If you are all set, come join me in the summer trip along the Sydney domain. We can have some fun. Till then, Bye...
