Have you ever looked at something and thought, “I wish I came up with that”? From everyday essentials to life changing innovations, inventions shape the way we live, connect, and experience the world. In today’s blog we’re exploring a fun and imaginative question:- if you could have invented anything, something that already exists or something completely new, what would it be? 
 
I’ve always wanted a body double of myself, so I could get more tattoos, more piercings and dermal. I wish I could invent a machine that would print out more of my bodies, so the original Haley can be creative on the other replica Haley.
One would have all tattoos, one would have all horror icons, another one would have Disney and Pixar icons. I would be covered in tattoos, no space left behind. 
 
I’ve tried ages ago when I did have twelve piercings at once, but I was getting older so I thought they looked silly. I had a Monroe, and an industrial piercing. I did have my belly done three times, unfortunately one time the belly piercing just jumped out off my body and died.  And also my body rejects some kind of materials.  I also had four dermals, two on the hips and two on the upper chest area. 
But my other body double would have finger dermals, under the eye dermal and behind the neck, but they’re a bit different from normal piercings, the piercer would take a dermal punches and they would punch a hole into the skin to place an anchor. Once that’s placed they screw on the top part of the jewellery. 
 
When I was in my 20s, I did have a fascination with Scarification tattoos, they’re different to normal tattoos, from my knowledge the tattooists create wounds in the body in the style of your choice.  According to the internet, they usually take six months to twelve months to heal.
 
So you see, I would love to invent a body maker or some kind of machine that creates doubles of myself. So you can creative or express yourself without damaging your own body. Even now I do have tattoos but they are all mostly covered because I don’t like drawing attention to myself. Hence why I would invent a body maker, so I can walk around in the shadows while all of my body makers would be showing all of my creative side, that original Haley doesn’t want too. I would also let other people use it to let them show off their creative side too.
Haley.
 
If I could invent something magical, I would like to make a room in my house full of Disney characters and there would be Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Donald Duck and Daisy, The Beast, Prince Adam and best of all, Goofy.
We will have to have seven king size beds in the room with fluffy colourful doonas. I would have lots of fun playing with my friends and play Disney dream light on PlayStation, Toy Story Play Station, and watch the movie The Lion King.
They would be my best friends forever and we would share our dreams and good times together. The laughter we would share and the memories we would make would be my magical dream come true.
This is Princess Claire signing off and gathering my Disney friends for another fun night tonight.
 
I could invent a tie-dye machine and would have lots of colours like pink, blue and greens and I would like the machine to be green. I would love a tie-dye machine so I can make my merch properly and professional. I think its important to have
professional equipment.

Dear readers, this week's topic is if I could invent  anything what would it be?
Let me start by telling you about what I would invent. Two inventions actually, that would help me daily to make my bed after I wake up and get out of bed and I would invent another that would fold and put all my laundry away because that would help me and my parents when it come to housework especially when we decide to do a big spring clean.
Readers I have a question, if you could invent anything what would you invent and why?

Shan’s something I wish I could have invented or that I had invented blog…
Have you ever seen a product or something advertised somewhere and thought; “I wish I thought of that” because I know I have for many things. 
In 2003 (though I feel like it was released in Australia much later) a new toy came out called a Pillowpet, a Pillowpet is a pillow that could be folded over and held with a Velcro strap. The idea was that it was a pillow but also a pet. It even had a catchy slogan “it’s a pillow, it’s a pet, it’s a pillow pet!.” It was a very popular toy and I didn’t know many people who didn’t have one. 
I was completely in awe of the Pillowpets idea and I thought it was a genius idea. This is because a favourite toy being also a pillow was just what we needed and we didn’t even know we needed it. It made sleepovers more exciting too because kids could just bring their pillow pet and it eliminated the need to bring both a soft toy and a pillow. It was the best space saver too, unless you were like my sister and had around fifteen of them all stacked on your bed. I believe I had three pillow pets, my favourite one was my dog pillowpet that now lives in my best friends house because her chihuahua loved it so much I couldn’t take it from her. 
I’m sure many of us in our childhood and possibly adults too spent years using soft toys as pillows, I heard many people around me say that they wish they had thought of Pillowpets because of how popular it was. I just wanted to be able to say that I had thought of it, feels like a pretty cool thing to have on your resume. 
What do you wish you had invented and why do you wish you had invented it? Let us know in the comments! 
Goodbye for now friends, your friend, 
Shan.
 
On Saturday we went to Supernova with my friends from another program and it was such a big day. I met Spike from Buffy, his real name is James Marsters and he's now 63 but that's a good age. And guess what, I got the autograph on my pop funko and he gave me three photos I was so lucky to meet him.  I dressed up as Dean Winchester from Supernatural as he is my favourite character. I bought a Castiel pop funko and I got the Supernatural book.
Last week I went to a funeral with my family and Grandparents. It was my uncle who had a heart attack. He had two golf trophies and he loved Carlton but is so sad very very sad. There were  childhood memory photos at the funeral and was  sad and we will miss him very much and we love you for Uncle Graeme.

Today's blog is what do I wish I could invent or wish was invented?
My invention, or rather super power would be to understand what dogs are saying.
I only want to be able to understand dogs this will be Ronaldas super power. Only I would be able to understand dogs no one else!
I want to understand what dogs are saying because I love dogs and it would be awesome. When I talk to the dogs they will understand me, and so when they bark I'll be able to understand them too. 
The dogs would want to say hello to me. My dog Zeus would want to talk to me about getting him the yummiest food! He'd ask me to get him McDonald's for dinner! He'd ask me to come play with him, to roll around in the grass and play with toys.
Dogs would say hi to me, and I'd say hi back. The dogs would say pat me!! Cuddle me, Play with me! Give me belly rubs! Give me treats!
I would also be able to understand elephants! Why? Because I like elephants! The elephants would be asking me for bananas!
I would also be able to understand a tigers roar!
I'd want to be able to understand animals because I love them!!
I won't be able to understand all the animals just the ones I like, sorry but not cats so I can't tell you what they said!

If I was to invent something it would a Titan submersible, but i would make it better.
For those that dont know a Titan Submersible is an underwater vehicle which needs to be transported & supported by a larger water craft, which is what makes it different to a submarine.
I would make my submersible into a sphere shape because it would be stronger and lighter and it wouldn’t come apart.
 
I like submersibles because you get to see things you normally cant. I think the deep sea is pretty cool.
Nick.
 
Hi friends, how are you? Today’s topic is if you were to invent something, what would it be and why? I have a question for you readers: if you were to invent something what would it look like and why? I would invent my own karaoke place because I like singing. It would be fun with disco balls, lights, stage,  karaoke screen, mics stands, dress ups, chandeliers, food, songs and drinks. It would be called Beth's Karaoke Room. Friends and family support workers are welcome to come.  I would invite Cindy, Krystle, Bernie, Steph and Sheridan, Chrissie and Chanel and especially Delia. 
The music would be Pop music and Country music and more, where everyone could sing each word and dance to the beat.
I would hire a hall to put this entertainment in and tables and chairs for everyone so they are comfortable. 
Thank you for reading my blog. This is Beth the karaoke queen signing off until next adventure.              
 
What do you wish you’d invented or want to invent? Well every time I go on my Xbox I’d like if it could help me understand what people saying. Words could come out from them and I can read them, whatever they saying I always do mic off. I don’t do talk much, only sometimes as they don’t always understand me and I got mad sometime. I can play myself or a friend. But my invention would make it much better for me. TJ

​Today’s blog topic is about inventions. If I could invent something, I would want to invent a soft toy that can talk and understand emotions. Sometimes things at home are not perfect like I’m sure most people experience. There can be conflict and misunderstanding. It can make me sad if I get into trouble. If I had a soft toy that could talk and understand emotions, I would feel better. It could say, “It’s okay Jacinda, not all days are good.” Just like my favourite show Doc McStuffins, when Doc is feeling down, all her toys comfort her and Lambie gives her hugs and sings a song to her.
I might bring this emotional support soft toy to Umbrella Support, in case someone had a difficult week. The soft toy could comfort my friends and understand their feelings. It would also understand comfort levels, so if I don’t like something, it would respect that. I would name this soft toy Snugglet.
I also want to invent a bed and pillow that help you fall asleep automatically. Once I lie down, I would drift off straight away. I want to invent this because I am someone who does not fall asleep quickly. I am inventing it for anyone who struggles to sleep. All hotels and Airbnb places should have beds like this. Are you a hard sleeper or an easy sleeper? I also want to invent an automatic eye mask. Once you wear it, you will fall asleep straight away.
I am also inventing a social battery silicone wristband, similar to the Umbrella Support wristband that Cindy gave everyone, except this one says “Social Battery.” The colour would be aqua, but if I have too much social interaction, like when I go to Indonesia, it would change colour to red. I would explain this to people around me so that if they see my wristband turn red, they know I need a break. After some quiet time, it would turn aqua again.
Being social is part of life, but too much can be exhausting. I am an introvert, so I need quiet time to recharge.

Would you rather…? It’s a fun question that can tell us a lot about who we are!
 
Today, we’re asking everyone to come up with their own “would you rather” questions it could be something silly, something tricky, or something that makes you really think. Would you rather be too hot or too cold? Would you rather always be early or always be late?
 
There are no right or wrong answers here  just your opinion, your personality, and your creativity. Let’s see what everyone comes up with!
 
 
Hello everyone welcome back to our blog this week. We are blogging about would you rather this, or that. 
I love Disney the most because of the princesses and the music.
I hate the news on the boring tv that mum and dad watch.
I would always rather, Disney.
Like in Frozen, there are two princesses but also two men. One is nasty. So I would always rather the true love.
Also in Aladdin. Jafar is the evil one, but Aladdin is the good one. I will always rather the good one. For the Disney music, I would rather Tangled and The Jungle Book music, but not Steamboat Willie. Because it's too old sounding.
I love movies more than books, unless they are Disney books. I love the books because I like the pictures they are the same as the movies. I find books tricky to read and so I don't enjoy all the words. I have many Disney books at home. My favourites are The Little Mermaid, Cinderella and Tangled. They are my favourite because there is always bad versus, good.
I hate cold days, so I will always rather sunny weather. I like holidays that are in the sun like the Disney castle. Blue skies are better than rainy clouds. I have had winter holidays where it's cold, but it's also sunny skies. Cold sunny. And that's ok because I can have warm clothes like jackets and beanies and scarves on. That’s me done, Claire.
 
It’s a “would you rather” blog, Would I want to learn about space or animals? Well this is easy for me, I would love to learn about all of the animals in the world, because I find them all fascinating. Lately I started to follow a few people on instagram who talk about animals and uncommon animals. There’s one lady who loves wild and unhinged animals. I could watch her reels for days. A water bear also called Tardigrade is so tough that it can survive space. 
Another amazing animal she speaks about is a fish parasite that attaches itself to another fishes tongue and starts to kind of take over the fish and eats it and lets the fish starve. There is another lady I follow she spoke about a lizard called Horn lizards AKA (phrynosoma) which shoots blood from their eyes.
One kind of frog species has a love heart pupil, and I’ve learnt that prey animals should have rectangle pupils while predators have vertical slit pupils. There’s another person I follow and she talks about the uncommon animals that most people don’t realise they’re alive. She spoke about a Pink fairy Armadillo, which is the smallest species of the armadillo family.
 
Even in the deep sea, there are probably sea creatures we haven’t yet discovered, but my favourite sea creature is a leaf sheep. They’re adorable, vibrant and green, something you would see out of a cartoon movie. Then you have the angler fish. I learnt last night, the female is bigger than the male, but up to eight males attaches themselves to the female and take over her body, kinda weird but interesting, huh? See, I think learning about animals is a never-ending cycle, you can learn so much. Where to me I think space would go and on but I don’t think it would fascinate me as much as the animal kingdom. Haley.
 
Today’s blog topic is “Would you rather?” I am going to write about going to temperate countries or tropical countries. I have chosen temperate countries because I do not like it when it is really hot all the time. I get tired easily, but when the weather is temperate I do not feel as tired or sweaty. Usually, the best time to go to temperate countries is during spring.
We went to Japan in February 2019, and it was cold because the season is opposite to Australia. We wore warm clothes, but we still had a great time. We also went to Japan in 2024 during March, which is spring there. When we went to Tokyo DisneySea, it was cold and raining but we still had fun. We spent time at The Little Mermaid indoor area, and it felt warm and cozy. There was a cafe there, and the food was yummy. We ate pizza and fries.
However, I also love going to Bali, even though it is very hot. I remember on the first night we had dinner, I was tired and did not have much appetite because of the heat, and my body clock was still on Australian time. When I went to Japan and New Zealand, I had more appetite because the weather was cooler. New Zealand time is also two hours ahead of Australia.
When I went to Bali I did a lot of walking to see waterfalls. My body felt hot and tired, but it was my first time there so we did a lot of sightseeing. Do you prefer going to a temperate country or a tropical country?
I also want to do another “Would you rather?” topic. This time it is about Disney Junior shows: Doc McStuffins or Sofia the First.
I like both cartoons, but if I had to choose one I would pick Doc McStuffins because she loves playing with her soft toys, just like me. I also love Doc because the kitchen and bathroom floors in her house have a checkered pattern, and I really like that style. Her baby sister’s room is pastel yellow, which is one of my favourite colours.
Sofia the First does not play with plush toys like Doc does, but she has an amulet that lets her talk to animals. She also has a power that can make her very small. I watched Sofia before my wisdom tooth surgery in 2018, and it helped me feel less anxious because I was watching my favourite cartoon.
I also want to do another “Would you rather?” topic about receiving digital cards or physical cards.
As you know, I prefer digital cards because I can look at them anywhere. With physical cards, I do not usually carry them around. Another good thing about digital cards is that there are many designs to choose from, such as Hello Kitty, Snoopy, and Minions. In shops, there are not many cards with cartoon characters, and you have to pay for them. With digital cards, you can just take a screenshot and send it. My grandma also prefers digital cards and does not really buy physical ones.
However, my dad’s parents prefer physical cards. I remember they used to give my cousins, my brother, and me Christmas cards. Even though they are not digital, I still appreciate them. They are not familiar with digital technology, and that is okay.
Do you prefer digital or physical cards?

Today’s topic is would you rather and I am going to talk about would you rather build or buy things I like to build things because it keeps me busy and I get satisfaction from doing something myself, even if I have help from my dad. My dad prefers to buy thing but that is not as much fun. I also enjoy finding things that are broken, pulling them a part finding what’s wrong and fixing them. I love turning trash in to treasure.
I have a new mower coming but I need to get rid of one my old one first. I
threw it our because I’ve pulled it a part 10 times and the gearbox is broken and can’t be fixed. With my new mover I will take the blades off and change the pulleys and work on work other parts of the mower as well. I am very mechanically minded and I enjoy using my hands. This is Nick signing off , see you next week.
 
 
Would you rather go up the stairs or the escalators?
I would rather go up the escalators, 4 months ago I would've said the stairs. Now I'm more confident to go up the escalators, they are less scary for me they are okay for me now. They are less scary because I went on them, I've practiced, I am brave.
Stairs are okay too, I go on them by myself because I am brave.
When I go on the escalators, I say "I am brave".
And I say "I can do it!" "Look Sheridan I can do it".
I've been practicing every Tuesday with Sheridan, we go up and down the escalators. I hold on to the side rail and take a big step, when we reach the bottom we take another big step. It's less scary doing it together.
Would you rather go on the escalators alone or with someone? I would rather go on the escalators with Sheridan :)
I can do the stairs by myself, maybe soon I'll write a blog about doing the escalators by myself but for now I'm enjoying doing the with Sheridan.
Goodbye, Ronalda.
 
 
This blog will give you an idea of both how old I am and how I feel about the early days of my internet journey. I’m going to say straight up that the dial up internet tone still haunts me to this day. It wasn’t an enjoyable experience, but it was our only option and a “you get what you get and you don’t get upset” kind of situation. I think we were just lucky to have access to the internet at that point. Having internet also wasn’t a necessity like it is today, which I suppose sound bizarre to say with how much we need and use it today.
 
I grew up without internet until high school, when I was fast becoming one of the last people without internet. Thinking about it now it was probably a good thing that I didn’t have internet until it became necessary. It probably would have changed my childhood if I had it too early. I didn’t need internet and the world outside was still fun without the extra noise of today’s world. But that’s a topic for another blog and I don’t want to get off topic to much. 
 
Writing emails wasn’t something I did until my teen years, I will point out this was not because I wanted to but because we had to, as teachers thought we might need to learn how to email. I much preferred handwriting letters and notes because it felt a lot more natural to me, I could be as creative and artsy as I wanted to. Emails always felt like I had to be really formal and there were so many rules on what to say and how it should be structured. We had a school email that was created for us and we were supposed to use it to communicate with teachers but I would email friends and most people did the same. Most days in class my friends were much more helpful to email than the teachers. 
 
Letters are so much more my thing, a letter is something we can look forward to and make beautiful. I don’t feel guilty for not liking emails, they’re not something that I choose to do as I mentioned before, it’s just one of those things that I had to do sometimes in life and if I can avoid them I will.
 
Which would you rather; letters or email? Let us know in the comments, my friends. 
 As always, 
Your friend, 
Shan.

I would rather stay in America all my life because there is hot weather and it’s a beautiful place bigger for ever. But there is a small place too. Some big houses but all small houses make me a happy life in America. If you would rather any you want to make a wish for yourself. Like you want to go to a different country or any place you want to go.
I would rather see my sister and my brother in law but they’re a good time to hangout with family, to have fun and enjoy my time.  Big food and small drink Oh lord.
I’ll be full of big food make my belly fat Oh nooooo from TJ.

It’s funny how just one hour can throw everything off. One minute you’re in a good routine, and the next, daylight saving hits and suddenly everyone’s tired, people are waking up at weird times, and nothing feels quite right. Some people love the longer evenings, more time outside, that nice “summer’s coming” feeling. But for others, it can take a while to adjust. Sleep gets a bit messy, moods can feel off, and it’s like your body didn’t quite get the memo. This week, we’re chatting all things daylight savings: how it affects our days, our routines, and how we each deal with the change (or don’t!).
 
RONALDA 
I like when daylight savings ends because we get an extra hour of sleep. I like winter but I love summer. I like summer because it's hot and I like going to the beach. That's why I like daylight savings because it gives me more time in the sun. I feel happy in the sun because I get to wear my sunglasses and my hat. It makes me sad when I can't wear my sunglasses. I don't like how it gets dark early because I have less time to wear sunglasses. My favourite pair of sunglasses is my love heart shaped ones I wear them with Shelly and at Umbrella when I go outside.
 
CLAIRE
I don't like when daylight savings ends because that means summer and warm weather is coming to an end. I do like the day it changes over and I get an extra hour of sleep, I love sleep and being cozy in bed. I like in summer how I get extra daylight and can spend extra time doing things like swimming in the pool. I don't love the cold weather and winter but I do like having warm Pyjamas, robes, fluffy slippers and cuddled with dad on the couch. I like patting my dog Bella's belly she loves it, she also likes playing with toys. Day light savings ending changes my routine a little because just want to stay in bed and be warm and cozy. I look forward to next summer where I am swimming and relaxing.

I like summer because summer is good for me as I get nice and warm. Daylight savings looks so pretty and my sister takes photos of the sunsets when they look like the paintings. I like daylight savings as the clouds looks like paintings and it is so beautiful. I don't like when it ends because i feel like i go backwards and it gets darker early. I like feeling forward in daylight savings it’s much better then feeling backwards.
 
BETH 
Hi friends how are you today's topic is how does daylight savings changes my mood. I don't like it ending because it gets dark quicker and colder at night because it’s about to be winter. It means I can't go outside because it’s not as warm and its not summer anymore. I love daylight savings because baby animals are born and flowers bloom and I like how it stays lighter for longer. Although it gets darker earlier when it ends, my bed feels nice and warm. I like the food and hot drinks i can have while in my warm pjs especially when they come right out of the dryer. I love wearing robes, slippers and blankets while watching movies  and eating snacks and drinks. 
Thank you for reading my blog, this is bubbly Beth signing off until next week.
 
JACINDA 
Do you like when daylight saving starts, or when it ends?
Many people feel excited when daylight saving begins in October because there is more daylight. There are also lots of celebrations like Christmas, Halloween, and New Year. Kids get excited for their long breaks too. Some people say “Woo hoo daylight saving is here!” I know Cindy is one of them. But I am different. I feel okay, I do not shout or get overly excited.
There is something nice about this time of year though. My grandma sometimes comes to visit from Indonesia. She prefers coming during the warmer months because she does not like winter. When it is daylight savings, she enjoys going outside in the evening after dinner. When she visits, the house becomes more stimulating for me because she likes to talk to her friends on the phone and spend time outside. I prefer a quiet home, but I know it is a privilege to spend time with her.
Even though summer has many happy moments like Christmas and family visits, I still prefer winter. I do not enjoy hot and humid days. I am not sure if my grandma will visit at the end of 2026. If she does, that will be nice. If not, that is okay too. I will still spend time with my mum and dad.
When daylight saving ends, it does not bother me that it gets dark earlier. In winter I like to wear my oodie and trackpants to stay warm. Here is a fact. When daylight savings ends, Australia is three hours ahead of Jakarta. When daylight saving starts, Australia becomes four hours ahead of Jakarta and three hours ahead of Bali. That is why I felt jetlag and tired when I travelled to Bali last year, and also when I came back.
Thanks for reading.

I like daylight savings because it gets dark quicker. I like winter because it means i get to have cups of tea and hot chocolate to keep me warm. 
 
TJ 
I like daylight savings because it’s lighter for longer. It’s nice to have fun on the weekend so I spend my time playing games and cleaning the house. I make sure all the doors are locked before it gets dark so no bad people can get in. This week is all about work and coffee, so I’m looking forward to having more fun next weekend. From your friend, TJ.

Dear Readers Let me start by telling you how daylight savings affects me. It can be a bit confusing, and sometimes it feels like my brain takes a while to adjust as the days change. Even so, I actually prefer autumn over winter because it’s not too hot or too cold. I especially love the warm, sunny autumn days. It’s not that I don’t like summer because I really do! In summer, I get to swim in our pool. Yes, you heard that right readers, we recently had a brand new pool installed in our backyard just before Easter. I was so excited to finally swim in it once it was finished. It’s on winter mode now, but I’m definitely looking forward to using it again when summer comes around. Another reason I enjoy summer is because I get to eat ice cream, and the days are longer and brighter. In contrast, winter days are shorter and darker, but there’s still a lot to love about winter. It’s the perfect time to stay warm and cozy, enjoy hot drinks like hot chocolate, tea, coffee, or a chai latte, and eat comforting, warm meals. I also love wearing cozy clothes, sitting on the couch, wrapping up in a blanket, and watching a TV show or movie. So Readers, do you like daylight savings? Written by Charlotte
 
Daylight savings doesn’t just affect people, it also affects the animals around us including pets and wildlife. I know this for a fact because of my cat, Banshee. His dinner time is usually 5pm and he normally wakes up around 5am but when daylight savings ends, he thinks 4pm is dinner time and 4am is when he should wake up. Luckily, I can tell him, “No it’s still bedtime,” and he usually snuggles back down. Because daylight savings ends at the start of autumn, the nights begin to get colder. Banshee and Maggie take turns sitting in the bean bag to stay warm. Last night it was Maggie’s turn, so Banshee came and sat with me instead. For me, it only takes a day or two to get used to daylight savings. On the first night, I usually go to bed about half an hour earlier, even though I still wake up at the same time. One thing I do love is being able to snuggle up with Banshee on the couch, watching TV while it’s dark and sometimes gloomy outside. Anyway, that’s my take on daylight savings and how it also affects animals. I can’t wait for daylight savings to start again in October! Haley.

On the 5th of April 2026 day light savings ended where we turned our clocks back 1 hour. The good thing about day light savings is I get to be outside longer and be in my shed to fix up stuff that I have collected from the tip. I find things people have thrown out and hopefully with my skills I can fix them. Now the 6 months of day light savings has finished and I look forward to October when the day light savings starts up again. This is Nick signing off till next week....

Before I get into it I would like to just say that I’m just talking about places that partake in daylight savings, I am aware that some places don’t have daylight savings and this is wonderful for them and I hope to learn more about how that works for them. I love that this has given me an opportunity to learn. Ok let’s go my friends! 

Daylight savings makes me feel like nothing has changed and everything has changed at the same time. The times on the clocks have changed by an hour and this happens at some ridiculous time in the morning so for those who still have clocks that need changing it can be confusing as to what time it actually is. I have clocks that automatically change time but I still have to check that the times are correct because I have trust issues with daylight savings. I also get anxious about being late if the times aren’t correct.

While all of this is happening with the time change, our day to day activities are still expected to stay the same. We carry on as if nothing has changed, even though it has. The days suddenly feel either longer and lighter or shorter and darker as one comes with summer, and the other with winter. Because of this, many people tend to prefer one over the other.

I also feel for our pets, who get confused when their feeding times suddenly shift. I’m fairly sure they’d hold a union meeting about it if pets had unions!

Daylight savings is always a popular topic of conversation. It seems to come up every year, and we talk about it like it’s brand new, even though we’ve all experienced it before. It’s something that happens regularly, yet it still feels disruptive. It changes how we plan our days, how we go about our routines, and even when we feed our pets. Overall, daylight savings makes me feel both anxious and tired at the same time. How do you feel about daylight savings?

Your tired friend, 
Shan

 

​In this space, we’re sharing the things we wish others understood about us. The parts that aren’t always obvious, but shape our experiences in big ways.  We find it can be easy to be misunderstood but when we understand each other better, we can support each other better. 
 
At times people can underestimate my ability to do the things because of my disability but I am a smart woman and can do so many things. On Wednesday's I help run a cafe, I take orders, make coffee and hand them out to customers, some people may think I can't do that but I can and I'm getting better and better each week. I live with my parents but that doesn't mean I don't help around the house, I clean my room, wash dishes, make my mum and dad coffee, set the table and other things too. I like to be helpful and help set up and pack down at my activities, my favourite task to do is emptying the bins and take apart the media wall. I love to work a part of a team and help people out. Some people may think I'm just Claire, but they are wrong, I am Princess Claire! This is Princess Claire signing off, see you next week.
 
What people misunderstand about me is that I’m into different type of music and history. And if people say that isn’t interesting, I think it is, especially history.  Some people have said to me why would you want to remember history stuff, it’s pointless, and I’m too young to remember or understand. I don’t understand why people are so ignorant about my music knowledge and I don’t even understand why people don’t like the type of music that I’m into like from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and some of the 90s like from Pearl Jam to Southern Sons but saying that, I get my music knowledge from my parents like my mum because she knows lots of musicians like John Farnham, David Hirschfelder and Peter Reggie Bowman. I also know the Rayne family and I’m so grateful that my mum got me into different types of music.  If it wasn’t for my parents I would never have been given the listen to the music or get a chance to see them like Southern Sons, Jimmy Barnes, Cold Chisel, Bryan Adams and Noise works.  I’m so happy I got the opportunity to see the John Farnham concert in March this year. In saying that how many young ladies get to see a lot of Australian musicians in their lifetimes and get the chance to meet them as well. It’s like me seeing Southern Sons too many times and I also got a chance to meet Ross Wilson from Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock as well and of course I got a chance to meet Russell Morris who sings “The Real Thing”. Did you know that Ian “Molly” Meldrum was the producer and Johnny Young was the writer and did you know the original film clip was lost. By Ash.
 
 
Today’s topic is about things that people misunderstand about me. What are some things people misunderstand about you?
One thing people misunderstand is my preference for cooler days. I am not bothered when daylight saving ends or begins. Many people prefer summer because they like the beach and sunshine. I like the beach too, but I do not enjoy very hot temperatures. Some people might think I am different for liking cooler weather. At Umbrella Support, everyone respects me and understands my comfort levels. I like cool days because I enjoy wearing tracksuits more than summer clothes.
In primary school, people picked on me a lot, which felt very unfair. I went to a mainstream school, and some people treated me differently because I have special needs and I am quiet. It hurt when people were rude to me. In sports class, we often had to work in pairs, but nobody chose me. The teacher had to assign me a partner. One time I was paired with a boy who got frustrated with me because I did not catch the ball properly. I felt isolated. Thankfully, I do not see those people anymore.
However, I have a friend from high school who is very kind. We caught up after Anzac Day last year and went to The Glen. She asked me if I felt lonely staying home alone. She misunderstood me because I actually feel very happy when I am at home by myself. Even though she misunderstood that, she knows many details about me because we have been friends for a long time.
My aunt misunderstood me too. At a family lunch last year, she put a microphone near my mouth because she thought I liked to sing or dance. That is not who I am. I did not get upset because she had not seen me for a long time and did not know my preferences. She also did the same to my other cousins.
When I was in school in Jakarta, a teacher once spoke to me in a loud and sharp voice and told me to pay attention. She was not aware of my condition. I did not cry, but I did not like it. Sometimes my parents also use a sharp voice, but I understand they want me to grow. I appreciate that teachers in Australia are more aware of my condition.
Another aunt once assumed that I might have children in the future. She said this to me on WhatsApp, not in public. I replied, “Please respect my decision. I do not like kids.” She respected my decision after that. Even though she misunderstood me at first, I still love all my aunts and uncles. She also sends me stickers on WhatsApp, which I like.
Sometimes people misunderstand me because I talk very fast. I think it is because I get excited, and that is how I express myself.
Thanks for reading. I hope everyone respects my comfort levels.

Hello my name is Shan and this is what people misunderstand about me.
I believe and have observed that this world we live in isn’t always very accommodating to those who might be different, have extra needs or just don’t fit the mold of what is considered ‘normal’. While there are many places that are truly wonderful and very inclusive of all humankind, I have seen and experienced the complete opposite throughout my life. As you can imagine it doesn’t bring joy or make me feel very hopeful in that moment. I will say that I feel very supported and loved with the people in my life and know where to go if I need to talk about anything. I also would like to point out that these are my own experiences and observations. I don’t speak for anyone else. 
 
I feel like I am in-between two worlds in life. I can’t explain that sentence but for those who understand it, I am with you and you are valid.
 
Some people misunderstand that I have an invisible disability which means that you cannot see my disability physically and that just means I look like I don’t have a disability. Because I sometimes need help and extra support with things in life. I have been to many appointments to get this. That process has made me feel like I have had to prove that I have a disability. It’s a interesting experience and I’m sure many people can join me in saying it’s not always the best experience Here is when I have felt most misunderstood. To be misunderstood in a place where disabilities are supposed to be understood is very confusing and disheartening.
 
Now I know that I don’t need to disclose or share with everyone that I have a disability, it’s on a need to know basis and I’m not going up to random people and telling them. Some people however when I have told them they have instantly tried to console me like I have told them the worst news ever or they say something like “well you don’t look like you have a disability.” For future reference that’s probably not the best thing you could reply with when someone tells you if they have a disability. 
 
Honestly, I feel most misunderstood when people make assumptions about those of us with disabilities, invisible disabilities and mental health challenges. It would be more helpful to ask questions or educate yourself on things that you don’t understand, I do it every single day for a world that I don’t understand. 
Your friend, Shan 
 
My mate Matthew is good at animation like and working on animations just like me, but he's so good at animation and I like him.
My sister she the smartest and she was doing the homework for the study and she looks pretty. She likes Collingwood and she loves popular singing like Taylor Swift, she loves Melbourne Storm and she goes to too many concerts but it’s pretty awesome.
My brother he's good too and he's loves playing guitar of any rock music he likes Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Foo Fighters he likes that music.  He also likes footy, he likes any sports and he loves Richmond and I do hate Richmond because Collingwood is better after this.
I tell my mate Matthew and he also likes horror movies.
I post on YouTube and Instagram because everyone likes to watch my videos and other people like my videos.  They are just funny and hilarious. 
Some people may misunderstand my music taste but me and my mum went to Knotfest.
Yes I love heavy screamo music and a stranger dude asked me what's my favourite song for Slipknot and I say my favourite song is “Sulfur”.  Korey.
 
Hey friends, how are you? today's topic is Why do some people misunderstand me?
I am always thinking that some people say I talk quietly and can't hear what I am saying. When I meet people for the first time I feel anxious because I have not met them before, but once I get to know them, I feel comfortable and speak a little louder.
I have good friends who know me, and love and respect me, I thank my family and friends for being a part of my life and wellbeing. On the 24th of April I am being invited with my friends from Umbrella Support to attend at the Lyrebird Community Centre for a morning tea where we are asked to say a little speech regarding Anzac Day. I am so excited to do this as it will give me more confidence to speak amongst strangers. 
This is Beth signing off who one day could be a guest presenter at a major event. What part of you is post misunderstood?
 
Hello, it’s Ronalda! 
This is a tricky blog for me, it’s hard for me to tell you what parts of me are most misunderstood but I can tell you who understands me!
My support workers understand me, they make me happy. Sheridan understands me, and that makes me happy, if I need help I know I can ask her. I can ask the other support workers too, like Steph, Krystle and Cindy because I know they understand me. 
At home my mum understands me and I can always ask her for help, my sister is also very helpful and kind to me, she understands me. 
Krystle and Sheridan help me learn how to do cooking on Tuesday’s, they understand how to assist me with things in the kitchen because some people may think I can’t do cooking but I enjoy making things in the kitchen with some support I can do this! 
On Wednesday, Steph and Sheridan assist me so that I can make coffee, some people may think I can’t make coffee but with some help I can make coffee. Steph and Sheridan taught me how to make coffee because everyone learns differently and because they understand me they can teach me in a way that I understand. 
On Thursday, Sheridan helps me with my blog I tell her what I would like to write and we talk about things and she types it because I struggle to type. I know the letters on the keyboard so if Sheridan spells it out for me I can type she understands how I can complete a blog, teamwork makes the dream work! 
When we do media Krystle helps me she’s really good at the cameras. I also feel that I can work with and ask my media team for help, they understand how to help me. On Friday I make coffees again, repetition is good for me and learning. Making coffees on Wednesday and Friday’s means I get to practice twice a week. 
If I want to read I can ask someone to read it to me, some people may think I should know how to read. Just because I can’t read doesn’t mean I don’t understand, I can read familiar words like my name. Just like writing I don’t know how to write sentences but I can write familiar words with assistance on spelling. I will always give things a go. Like today I am telling Sheridan my words and she is helping me write them together. 
There are parts of me that are misunderstood but I’m happy that I have people who understand me. Goodbye from Ronalda.
 
What make people don’t understand me is hard because I am deaf I can’t hear really well and my mind can get angry easy.  I can see red in my mind. But I’m good at gamer and can make people laugh and learn new things easy. I do have friends who care for me and love me, I don’t like people who be drama all the time because it makes me feel bad.  What I love is everything and my friends take care of me the most and I will take care of you back from your good, all I need is good friends to you all, you all, I need to happy life, have great day and happy Easter. I love to hangout with my good friends who are not rude or mean people all I like is friends and love because they’re nice people, but weekend is off now because Happy Easter soon. TJ
 
Things that people don't understand about me is that have anxiety sometimes but I am working on it. Sometimes it is hard for me to get my anxiety out so I get people to support me.
Sometimes I use strategies to calm myself down or talk to someone sometimes. doesn't stop me from doing things that I want to do. Ben.
 
The most misunderstood part of me would be my height and or my age.
I remember one time I went on holidays with my friends to Tasmania and we went to a sports bar for dinner, because my friends and myself know I’m of age to be able to drink. One of my friends went to the bar to buy the drinks, the bar man said you can’t buy a drink for the little person, so my friend got a bit defensive and got a bit loud at the bar man.  So I went up to the bar to help calm down the situation, and showed the bar man my I.D, he then was very apologetic to myself and my friends. 
Then I felt very bad for my friends because I’m an overthinker and I think maybe it’s better if I don’t go out with my friends due to my height and the situation that usually does happen. 
Sometimes I even have kids who stare or yell something out, about my height, which my brain allows it to ruin my day, but I’m learning and jokingly say I’m like a leader of the kids or something.
I had a person come up to me and say “oh we were just talking about how old you are, I said 28” which is amazing for me but in my head, I was thinking why were they evening talking about me and my age, why does it matter to them?
Another thing I think I get misunderstood about is from myself, I say this to myself on a regular basis, that I don’t know where I belong and that frustrates me.  So I kinda feel like I’m here but mentally I’m not here, if that make sense. I get mad at myself too because sometimes when I feel like I can’t have a proper conversation with people around me. So I stay quiet or the safe option is I talk about my cats Banshee and Maggie. Or I think about how I feel stuck and everything and everyone is rushing past me, which also upsets me because I feel like I haven’t achieved what I should at my age. But I’m learning that everyone moves at a different speed, so you could say I’m moving like a snail but in the right direction, well I hope I am anyways.
This was a hard topic to write about, but I think having a little rant about what people misunderstand about me and myself included, is kind of a weight off my shoulders for a little while.
Thank you for understanding my frustrations about people misunderstanding me.
Haley. 
 
Dear readers, this week's topic is what part of you is the most misunderstood. Readers, I have a question, what part of you is most misunderstood?
Let me start by telling you about what  most people misunderstand about me, and that is my anxiety and yes I struggle.  But, I have learnt different techniques to deal with it and calm myself down. Some people misunderstand that I have a learning disability and might look and think that I can't do daily tasks but I can do daily tasks like housework, cooking, organising taxis and organising what I might need do every week like for work. Things such as my work clothes and my work bag, that I’m learning to drive and that I'm pretty smart.  I'm very independent to be honest. Readers, I'm struggling with today's blog because I have brain block. Readers, have you ever had a brain block?

It's our choose your own adventure week here at Umbrella and today, our team share with you their thoughts on anything they like! keep reading...

There’s something pretty exciting about having no rules, no set path, and no right or wrong direction to go in, and that’s exactly what this week’s topic is all about. Choose your own adventure means you get to take the lead whether that’s telling a story, sharing an experience, getting creative, or diving into something completely unexpected.
Think of it like opening a blank page and deciding where it goes next. Will it be funny? Thoughtful? A little chaotic? Totally up to you. This week is all about freedom, creativity, and letting your ideas run wherever they want to go.
Today I am going to talk about Disney because I love it and it's my favourite. I have a lot of Disney clothes like t-shirts, jumpers and jackets and they are what I love to wear. I like to be called Princess Claire and I would love to be a Disney character and find my true love. My favourite Disney princesses are Rapunzel, Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, Aurora and Snow White. I want to go to Disneyland in China because I have never been and I hope that's my next holiday destination. On that note I also want to visit Disneyland Paris. It's my birthday soon so hopefully get to go to one of these places on holiday, or even get some Disney themed birthday gifts. I love Disney cruises, I have been on three, and I would love to go on another one! I have a Minnie Mouse bag and wallet which I like to bring with me everywhere I go. I love everything about Disney, it makes me really happy.
This is Claire signing off, see you next week.


On the weekend I finally finished my animation about Villager News, this episode is called “Night of the Living Zombies” and it is going to be awesome to see people love my videos a lot.   I have 110 subscribers and a lot of viewers.
On Monday I just made Minecraft shorts for my video and it’s going to be even more funny and I just already finished that's all.
On Tuesday I’m making the stop motion animation for another program and this video is called “Villager News - the crime scene” and it’s a great video that everyone can see my animation on a Friday night video for the end of the year in December.
On Wednesday we are still making horror films and we paint the walls, I can't wait to make this and I’m looking forward to seeing that it is going to be amazing and my mum also loves horror films.
Korey.


Today's blog topic is a choose your own adventure.
On Tuesday I went to the shops, with Sheridan. We went on the escalators, I'm getting more confident in going on the escalators. I say out loud, "Ronalda is brave", because I am brave and I can do things I'm afraid of. I find going up not as scary, but sometimes coming down the escalator is scary because it's up high and the stairs are moving quickly.
On Sunday I go to church, I like going to church. On this particular Sunday, I saw Martina! I was happy to see Martina, her daughters and husband were at church and it made me smile I was so happy.
Sometimes Martina comes to my church, I go to the same church each week with my family. I sing songs at church. I like singing.
On Wednesday and Friday I make coffees in the cafe at Lyrebird.
I’ve been learning how to make coffees. I like making coffees.
My brother came home for dinner last night, my sister made tacos. I like tacos I have lettuce, cheese, sauce, and meat. I watched the Barbie movie last night, I love Barbie! Barbie and I have the same favourite colour PINK!!
This is Ronalda signing off, see you next week!


I like working with dogs because they are very cute. I always walk them and feed them. I love playing with the dogs because they are fun and funny, they love when you throw a ball and they love to go swimming. 
My dog’s name is Ollie, he loves playing with my bird.  They chase each other around the house and he sleeps a lot. He loves his treats and he is very cheeky when he wants something.

Today's topic is a choose your own adventure. Before I start blogging, it has been one year since I joined the Just Write program.
I chose to write about my updates in March.
On Labour Day, I had yummy sausage rolls for dinner that my aunty made. I have one aunt in Australia, but we do not see each other often. On special occasions, we message each other. Have you ever made sausage rolls? I sent my aunt a message to tell her that the sausage rolls were yummy.
I also saw a video of my uncle going to Japan with his family. He hung out with my brother too, who works in Japan. They did lots of sightseeing, ate lunch and dinner, and played in the arcade. My uncle is back home already. He lives in Banjarmasin.
Umbrella Support turned five years old. We had a celebration on Monday, 16th March. I also met two new people, Carol, who works for Umbrella, and Dayna, who is a participant. I am introvert, but I do not feel awkward telling facts about myself. We ate cupcakes and party snacks. We did not eat all the snacks, so before we went home, we had to throw the rest in the bin.
Martina and Cindy encouraged me to come out more, like blogging onsite instead of at home all Thursdays. I hesitated at first because I dislike change. I spoke to my parents about this. They said, "What if you alternate? Blog with everyone, blog at home, then with everyone again. That way you can rest because you work on Wednesday and you can rest." I said, "That is a good idea."
After Labour Day week, I came to Bridgewater. I was comfortable, happy, and a bit nervous because I joined the groups. I could give ideas about what to blog. I said, "What if we blog about childhood memories?"
I mentioned in my childhood blog that I enjoyed traditional birthday celebrations when I was a kid, but I hate it now. However, I am still happy. Krystle asked me, "Why do you not like loud birthdays anymore?" She was not trying to change me. I replied calmly, "Comfort level can change as you grow up."
When we went to the park on Monday, Krystle asked, "Do you think you want to come to Bridgewater weekly for blogging? It will be great if you come weekly."
I have decided to alternate by blogging with the groups, blogging from home, and then with the groups again. This is because I work on Wednesday. If I come weekly, I will be tired. I understand that everyone wants to see me weekly, but I have to focus on my wellbeing.
I love blogging with the groups because I get to hear my friends’ blogs and updates. If I am stuck, the staff can help me. I like to blog from home because I have free time before Krystle sends me the topic and I do not have to wear neat clothes since I am at home.
Alternate blogging suits me. That way, I do not get bored if I blog at home every week, and I do not get tired if I come to Bridgewater every week. Balance is good. Do you agree?
Thanks for reading. This is Princess Jacinda signing off.


I'm going to a tie-dye class on Friday night and it's going to be a lot of fun.
I went shopping with my friend Bri to buy tie-dying t-shirts for her workshop on Friday.
And then we went for lunch and got fish and chips
Ben 2.


I love to hangout with my friends and cool people I have never ever met before. They play with me on Fortnite with Alanna and her friend too. That was fun last night but they think I’m weird I used to be weird all the time.  This weekend I’m not sure what I’m doing, maybe just let chill and relax.  I’m tired today because I was still awake at 1am and I had to wake up 6am in the morning oh Lord, I have to wake up early in the morning, from your friend TJ.


My adventure today is going to an aircraft graveyard. There is an area in Alice Springs Airport which has the facilities for maintenance on aircrafts that need to be fitted out with new equipment. It also serves as a long term storage and decommissioning site for
commercial aircraft, utilising the desert climate to prevent corrosion. I got this info from Google with Bernie’s help.
As you all know I love using my hands with all the collectable junk I find at the Hallam tip. If I could get a job working at the aircraft facility, I would be the chief maintenance man.
My job would be to maintain and collect all the rubbish that can't be used and to get it all disposed to a safe area.
As you all know I also love collecting bits and pieces for my collection and making something out of it all.
Nick.


Dear readers, this week's topic is a choose your own adventure. Let me start by telling you about  Epilepsy Awareness Day and every year on the 26th of March is Purple day for Epilepsy Awareness Day and this day and Good Friday are really close to me and my family's heart.  Every year on Good Friday we donate to the Good Friday Appeal as each donation goes toward  helping all the sick kids at the Royal Children's Hospital.
A little bit of interesting personal information about me readers, which I'm happy to share with you is that when I was two and half years old I was diagnosed with childhood Epilepsy and the doctors at the Royal Children’s Hospital helped me get better. For a couple years I had to take medication but now I’m no longer on medication because I don't have any seizures anymore  which is good. This is why purple day and the  Good Friday Appeal is close to my heart. This year on Good Friday my family and I will be donating to the Good Friday Appeal once again. 
Readers I have a question: If you could blog about anything, what would you blog about?
written by Charlotte.



Just a pre warning that this blog talks about homelessness and hardship.
I have been thinking about people who are experiencing homelessness in our world, while I have always been aware that there are people who are less fortunate and I’m conscious of the hardships that people may be going through. I have noticed that there are a lot more people who are having to find less than desirable places to sleep at night and this weighs on my mind and in my heart. I always hope there is a place for everyone to stay, feel safe and be supported. 

I understand that our world isn’t always fair, hardship certainly doesn’t discriminate and I have a few words for the universe that I am almost certain would be inappropriate here. However, this is the reality of the world we live in though. It doesn’t mean it’s right or that anyone should become complacent about it. There are many stories behind hardship and homelessness and you never know what someone is going through so its important to have empathy and choose kindness always.

I have seen people from organisations handing out food packages and beverages to people on the streets and this makes me happy because it tells me that there are kind people who care in this world. Also nice to know that those people experiencing homelessness or hardship have something to eat and drink. It may not be something that we think about often but one package of food can make all the difference. 

I say this with kindness and have no intention of offending or upsetting anyone. I also know everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I have heard things said about this subject that tell me that some people need to rethink their world view and possibly take a moment to think about whether what they are saying is helpful or kind. Again empathy and choosing kindness is important in every situation I believe.

I do what I can to support organisations through donations when I am able, it is important to remember that no one expects you to make donations if you are not in a position to do so. You can also look up other ways to help like volunteering for example. Just something to think about.

Sending you, our readers, support and good wishes your way today, and cheering you on today and everyday. 
Your friend always,
Shan.


We all live in the same world but we all live so differently. For the last week I’ve been on the internet watching how other people live, I’ve been watching people who live in America in Philadelphia, on Kensington Avenue. 
There’s a big time difference, right now it’s 10.01am on the 26th of March in Australia while over there it’s 19.01 on the 25th of March.
The web-cam is situated at a train station on the corner. 
There are always people there, not once have I switched it on and there was no one there. It usually gets busy around 11pm -  2am 
I always think to myself why are these people up and walking around at that time. 
There are a few characters, one night I saw a guy dancing by himself, another man to me looked like he was playing peek-a boo with no one.
Again last night the bin was the main character and everyone was circling around the bin like it had magical powers. 
There was also a man who had his white sheet around himself, he looks like a ghost. 
There’s a building made out of metal with flashing lights like the police lights.  I did ask people and they think it’s a help phone just incase something was to go wrong. 
I just realised how lucky I’m to have a a house and a warm bed to sleep in at night.
Haley.
