Knock-knock.. Your Postcard lah!

Kellie's Castle, Perak, Malaysia

2016-05-22T11:50:00.001+08:00

Hi..!!

I went to Kellie's Castle about 2 weeks ago. I visited my friends wedding in Ipoh, Perak, so I decided to take this whole life chance to visit the places. The building was situated near Batu Gajah, Perak. Not so far from Ipoh.

This castle was so popular of their "haunted" story and other unsolved mysteries. The building was constructed by a rich Sottish Planter - William Kellie Smith. Unfortunately this building was incomplete due to Smith death.

So, I bought 3 postcard out of many, for my postcrossing activity. Whose that lucky postcrosser?, please raise your hand..hehe..

Well, go back to my first question.. Capogufo. I basically have no idea on this kind of creature. But from the photo, i believed its has something with an owl. Try to make some search but most of it was non-english language. So i don't understand. Share with me if you know about it ya!

**Latest update: It was Italian word Capo gufo means OWL HEAD

New Zealand should be the first

2012-05-16T11:39:00.001+08:00

About 4 years ago, I guess I should had received my first postcard from my bestie. She’s pursued her master degree at New Zealand. But since she found difficulty to get my address (as she needs to either email or sms or call), she post the Postcard to her house and inform her mother to pass it to me. We are neighbour actually. Our house was just separated by a few house lots only.

But till now I haven’t received anything neither the old one nor the replacement…..

Still hoping…..

I Need Stamp

2012-02-14T22:55:00.001+08:00

Hello Tuesday!

The only thing that i planned during lunch break yesterday was to find the nearest post office. Unless he or she who sitting next to my workstation had kept a few stamps in their wallet. (Do they?)

Suddenly an urgent call comes in the morning where by hook or by cook i need to submit the task before lunch. Alas, no lunch at all. I have to drag until 1:30 pm and just having a lite lunch at office pantry.

Its a rare for me to not having extra stamps. The truth is that i used it for my wedding invitation..the very last minute guest added in my list that i had no choice other than grab whatever sources of stamp:-)

Hope to get it by today but... It does not happened and today i'm facing a massive traffic jam.

What is Philately?

2012-02-13T10:36:00.001+08:00

I just notice that my national postal service website POS MALAYSIA had published a lots of information other than their services which i think worth to share ~ about PHILATELY.

Philately can be described as the collecting and arranging of postal material i.e. postage stamps, postal routes, letters, covers and other material. This collection, be it stamps, covers etc. are usually documented to trace major historical events and other events.

It cannot be established when philately first started as a hobby as there is no known documentation. However, it can be ascertained that philately only started after the introduction of the postage stamp in 1840.
Collection of stamps adapted an approach with the introduction of stamps album. The first album was produced in England in 1852. Thus, when more postage stamps became available, the hobby of collecting stamps became quite common. More people began to take an interest in stamp collecting and philately began to develop. Many serious collectors emerged and one of the world's largest and oldest stamp collections is owned by the Queen of England. DYTM Raja Muda of Selangor is also reputed to have a good collection.

The word "philately" is said to have been coined in France in 1864 by Georges Herpin. It is from two Greek words: "philos" meaning loving and "llateleiall" meaning free of payment. Originally philately was more confined to the study of labels, representing payment for postal services. From here its area was widened to include the study of the systematic collection of postage stamps, postcards, postal covers, postmarks and other postal material.

Above description was taken from this website. By above definition, shall i consider myself as philatelist?

2012 Still Fresh

2012-02-11T23:07:00.001+08:00

Estonia?

2010-11-01T23:36:00.000+08:00

Dear Estonian, I’m sorry if I’m not familiar with your country. Perhaps, this might be the first time I pronounced the country - ESTONIA. But yet, thanks to postcrossing for redirecting me to Hellevee – an Estonian Postcrosser.

T - ESTONIA, F - MALAYSIA

DISTANCE - 8,967 km

After checking her wall of postcards, she only received two postcards from Malaysia. The Cameron Highland and another Postcard that make me confuse cause the photo seems not belong to Malaysia's landscape.

Therefore I planned to give her, the Petronas Twin Tower Postcard. For those who haven’t received any Twin Tower Postcard, please get ready because I will make sure you have one :-)

Hellevee, I will google more about Estonia…!

Bali, Indonesia

2010-10-08T09:03:00.003+08:00

This was the first postcard I sent to myself. Funny isn’t it?
It was somewhere in middle Jan 2010 when I had my first vacay to BALI.

The postcards were bought during our visit at Paddy Terrace Field. I have 10 minus 1 copies of it. If you would like to have a swap of Bali Postcard, please contact me.

Unfortunately, I will only use stamp from my country – Malaysia. Unique isn’t it?

Oh, mind my vocab error..hehe..
