Dinner conversation
Today we met three kind souls (one very sleepy one). We were relaxing with a Tiger beer and some orange juice, just waiting for our take away dinner. While we're admiring the cute baby you see in the picture the man with white mustache declared with great pride in his voice that "I'm sleeping with her grandmother". Now that's what we call an ice-breaker.

Mr & Mrs Lenngren - wedding pictures
As you may or may not know we got married on 6th February at Westin Resort & Spa here in beautiful Langkawi Island, Malaysia. These pictures were taken by an outstanding photographer Aloha Lavina who travelled from Bangkok to document our magical day.
Happy Birthday Viggo!
Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3. Hello Viggo can you hear me? This is Nelly broadcasting on my parents' blog.
I don't know how much time I got, my parents could spot me sitting here any second and then the fun will be over. For some reason they never let me play with the laptop, last x-mas they made outrageous accusations that I broke the keyboard while playing Baby Smash. Anyway all I wanted was to wish you Viggo, my dear friend, a Happy Birthday!
As you know I'm a lot older than you and already have a great deal of experience when it comes to birthdays, and let me tell you, you're in for a treat! On birthdays one gets even more attention then on any given day, and presents! A present is something new wrapped in paper. And by no means don't forget to play with the paper. I'm sure you'll find it just as much fun as I do.
As you know I took my parents on a holiday to Malaysia, they are quite OK travel companions when they don't worry too much. I'm having a really good time here, especially in the pool, have you checked me and my zebra out on the photos? Another new thing I've discovered here is fine dining. Have you tried rice? Oh man, I'm telling you it's delicious! It's a local dish that's also very fun to play with.
Are you standing up yet? I sure am and it opened an entire new world of possibilities for me. I overheard my parents say that I just tripled my zone of terror, do you have any idea what they mean? Anyway standing is great stuff. You can get a hold of a lot of things that used to be off reach. So if you are not standing yet I can highly recommend it. Ask Tilda if you need any further instructions.
Oh shoot, I think I hear mom and dad waking up, I better log out or else I'll be in trouble again.
Happy Birthday man!

Night market in Kuah
This evening we went to the night market (pasar malam). The market focuses mostly on food and gets our stamp of approval. We recommend it if you want to try samples of real Asian dishes. Everything is dirt cheap, around 1-3 Ringgit (2-6 SEK or 1-2 PLN). It's nice that it's a night market, cause when the sun sets it's not so frickin' hot anymore.
One really tasty little dish that we wanna single out is the doroyaki (see second picture from the top). It's a sweet Japanese cake with different fillings like coconut milk for example, they were delicious!
We also bought a couple of DVD's, you get new stuff (like Avatar and Sherlock Holmes) for less than 7 Ringgit a piece so we suspect that everything may not be a 100% legit, but what the hell. For that price the subtitles can at times be a little sketchy. For example when Robert Downey Jr tells Jude Law that he "made a rapid recovery", the subtitles said he made a "radical copy", but that's Malaysia for you. Charming.

Birthday girl
Happy Birthday Nelly also know as Plutt, a.k.a. Mini, a.k.a. Terror, a.k.a. Princess, a.k.a. Miss Lenngren, you are exactly one year old today! Your birthday was supposed to be on 9th March, but you were in a hurry to turn our world upside down.
Here in Malaysia most things feel upside down compared to safe Sweden. Cars are driving on the "wrong" side of the street, complete strangers are kind, the media coverage of the Winter Olympics is non-existing and the temperature is heavenly 30 degrees plus.
Still, life here is easy to get used to. Daddy doesn't have to go to work in the morning (mommy loves that too!), instead he can join the Lenngren girls and splash around in the pool, every morning and every evening. Speaking of pool, hope you like your present!
We think that it's amazing how fast you embraced our new lifestyle here in Malaysia (the Malaysian people certainly embraced you). You are a pleasure to travel with! On our three days journey to Kuala Lumpur you didn't complain or cry even for a second - always kept your curious look and cute smile, even when mom and dad lost theirs at the Bangkok airport.
At times you are real pain in the ass (you know that, don't you) but you make our world complete and we love you more than life. However, we would not mind if one day in the near future you would choose to sleep all through the night.
Happy Birthday Sweetie!

The only way to travel
Yesterday we (minus Nelly, also known as Osama, who was busy back home with the baby-sitter planning her next "terrorist attack") sailed away on a 6 hour long cruise. Or wait, make that 6 hour short cruise, cause time sure flew out there in the big blue, it was such a beautiful day it felt more like 6 minutes long.
The Langkawi archipelago with it's 99 tropical islands is a natural paradise. To discover it from the seaside while cruising the Andaman Sea is an unforgettable experience. We saw spectacular views of unique rock formations, lush green rainforest, fine lonely beaches, hidden lagoons and eagles (apparently the name Langkawi means eagle rock in Malay).
We got over our fear of sharks (just for a day) and dared to jump from the yacht right into the sea. What can we tell you, it felt great! Not even for a second we thought that the water was too cold and on a plus side we spotted no sharks.
Obviously we appreciate comfortable traveling but "the net jacuzzi" on the outer side of the yacht bumped up the meaning of comfortable to a new level. While the yacht was smoothly sailing, we were relaxing in the net, bubbling around and sipping cocktails which were served frequently (we kind of lost track of how many).
