To Stockholm to get Kara's first passport and registered as Malaysian

23.02.12 Baby Kara, as we are writing this, we are now on the train heading to Stockholm to apply for your Malaysian citizenship papers and passport. Our train journey has past 2.5 hours and you are such an angel, sleeping it through the views of pine trees, iced lakes and some snowy and some partially melted fields. Just to take the 7.25am train, we had to wake up at 5am but yet we almost didn't make the train. It was a mad rush but we managed to get you dressed up warm and cosy, packed our breakfast with pølse med lompa, and changed some Swedish crowns.  This is our first overseas trip together and with public transport lugging along our luggage in your pram - which is quite an experience considering we've always been used to travelling with car back home in Malaysia, and now with you just only a few days over 1 month old. Last night while we were packing, we also got a bit confused what to bring for you. Aslo, Thank God Scandinavian countries are baby-friendly country, your pram even have its own parking space on the train! Gosh! I think this is an achievement for us. But let's hope everything goes well and smooth the next 2 days and so many people is constantly praying for it. You know, you're really blessed in a way that so many people have been praying for us, and especially for you, while you were in the womb and now that you're out. So indeed your life is really a testament of all our prayers, and living up to your name that you are a gift of blessings to us, and that the gift of blessings is upon you as well.
