Some dates that might be of interest

We leave from Stockholm January 29th and arrive at our first stop, the five star Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Kuala Lumpur the next day. We’re staying here 6 nights and leave February 5th.

On February 5th Air Asia flies us to Langkawi and the super luxurious Westin Langkawi Hotel. This is where we will get married! Febuary 6th at sunset (7 p.m. local time). Remember that Malaysia is seven hours ahead of Europe, so if you want to raise your glass around the same time, during lunch would be appropriate.

On February 8th we will continue our odyssey. But we are however staying in Langkawi, Chogm Villa apartment to be more precise. This will be our base for the majority of this adventure. From here we’re positive that we’ll make shorter trips, but exactly where and when we can not answer at this time. Borneo, perhaps? Krabi in Thailand, most likely.

After six weeks in Lankawi I’m sure we’ll be ready for something completely new and refreshing again, so on March 22nd we fly to Singapore where we will stay for 9 nights.

Then, sadly that marks the end of our adventure in Asia, on April 1st (we’re not kidding) you can expect to see us in Vasastan Stockholm again, ridiculously tanned and happy of course!

One became two, two became three...

As our wedding day is approaching, we hope to find the recipe which is going to guide us and keep us happy together.

I guess it might be the one! The poem is called "Time Tested Beauty Tips" and the author is Sam Levenson who wrote it for his grandchild.

For attractive lips,
Speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise,
Walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things,
have to be restored, renewed,
revived, reclaimed, and redeemed;
Never throw out anybody.

Remember,
If you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older,
you will discover
that you have two hands,
one for helping yourself,
the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman
is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries,
or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman
must be seen from in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman
is not in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman
is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
the passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman
with passing years-only grows!
