Another long lost card.... which I receive like 2 years ago.

Fluffy kitties. =))) I am always a cat person. They are so adorable and u will just wish to sayang them, pet them even though most of the time they will ignore you.

Not really sure what story is this stamp telling but looks like a good story. Anyone can give a comment or two if you know what this stamp is telling?

Thank you. =) I love story.

Salute to Tiny Pinc

2018-06-11T23:00:00.002+10:00

It all started with a newspaper article on miniature. And I have always love small small food. Although cant fill my tummy but hey it fill my eyes and soul. Never felt so happy and excited when I saw those miniature food. And yes!!! for food only do I have this palpitation and butterfly in stomach feeling. Other miniature, not so.

Then I came across this shop called Tiny Pinc. A girl around my age who now full time in miniature crafting. From Malaysia. Totally fall for her creation.

So i got something from her (not much struggle) but I do admit that initially I have much doubt about the quality and also the size. Cause from the past (long time ago), all handcrafted are not as nice or as good quality as machine made. It said miniature but through picture is really hard to judge.

After much awaiting, parcel reach. =)

Thanks god. It comes in a whole. Only some small at the corner. Nicely pack and tied. Showed how careful and how much gratitude the sender had.

Inside =) Tadaaaa

I order a rainbow cake blindbox (come with the small rainbow cake charm, macaroon charm, the moon charm and the stickers) and the ang ku kueh earrings (there are so many interesting food!! struggling between nasi lemak, other kuihs and this).

A thank you note and a name card.

The height of the rainbow cake is around 1.5cm, the macaroon lagi kecil, I think can be stuck down a nostril and nobody will notice. The layer of the cake well seperated. and there is different texture between the cake and the icing and cream. The macaroon also had different texture between the biscuits and cream.

Not sure the moon is handcrafted or conventional but it is quite cute.

And this is my FAVORITE!!!!

Ang ku kueh earrings!!!!!! See how the pattern and the words on it shone. It even have a green leaf beneath the kuih. Just like a real kueh (beside it much much brighter in red).

How tiny is it?

Here is it!!! very very tiny. I do not have any earlobe which saddened me sometime cause I cant wear any big earrings cause it will look awful. But look this small ang ku kueh fit just nice on my ears. Really pretty and really unique. The ear stud are stainless steel which is big love because reduce the inflammation process of my ear hole.

Very happy with the purchase and hand itch wanted to buy second purchase especially for the nasi lemak series (her nasi lemak ring appear in the recent MacD Nasi Lemak burger Ad).

But i was distracted by something else.... ahaha. Omg will try to blog about the distraction cause this distraction very expensive but they are so so so so pretty and creative. Make my heart beats a bit faster, hold my breath and head go blank whenever I see them.

p/s: Tiny Pinc also organize workshop and receive customize order. =) All can be found in her website. She is also on instagram.

p/s: this post is not sponsored. aha, my blog not so laku until got sponsor come and find me. The Ang Ku Kueh is really delicate. They still put a smile on me whenever I look at them.

Hullo From Russia

2018-06-10T23:54:00.000+10:00

Pretty card from Russia.

It is a bit unbelievable when I first set eye on this card. Snowy mountains does not link with green forrest to me. But it happened. White cold black mountain at the back of the warm friendly happy forrest.

Guess nature is Almighty.

Unique stamps!! one serious and artsy. The other cute and lively.

Thank you for the postcard and stamps.

p/s: this card received more than 1 year ago.

Hi from France

2018-05-19T15:47:00.000+10:00

Another beautiful card. Two cute puppies cuddling each other.

I am more towards a cat person actually. Feel more secure with cats and they are less active. Cats usually prefer to sleep than do any other things which are rather similar to me. haha.

Stamp round in shape with a tiny plant at the side.

Plant more trees, cut them less. Cause global warming is a serious thing. I can feel the increasing heat compare to 20 years ago.

Late thank you for the card.

Hello from Britian

2018-05-12T12:25:00.001+10:00

Its being one year plus since I stop postcrossing due to time constraint and my previous posting are really taxing.

Now, I am in a new posting. Still taxing but at least I have some of my 'ME' time.

Looking back to the postcards that I have received. This world is so beautiful. =) will start back postcrossing very very soon.

Runny river with a lot of bubbles saying that its flow is rapid. green trees. =) Beautiful. But I still prefer the seaside of Miri with a lot of pine tree at the side.

Another highlight of getting the postcard is the stamps. See, Han Solo and Chewbacca (if pronouce in Hokkien it means burn hand XD). Not a die hard fans of Starwars but it is nice to see familiar face. =)

Thank you for the card and stamp from more than 1 year ago.

Hello From Lithuania

Another pretty card from Lithuania. =)

Showing off the beautiful spot of Lithuania which is breathtaking even through these collage. I love the picture with the lake. It looks so peaceful.

Not forgetting the stamps too. Not sure what does the left one signified but the right one is so pretty with the scripts i assumed composed by this musician.

Thank you Timpaile for this beautiful card and stamps.

Hello from Finland

2016-08-07T17:11:00.001+10:00

Hello. Am back after a week of palpitation at work place. Was leveling up (unwillingly) cause I am not a very passionate or enthusiastic. What I wish is everyone just get what they want.

Ok. back to the topic.

Got this card from Ritva a few months back. (yes. thats how backdated all the card here although i am receiving around 1-2 cards per week).

First time I received such a uniquely shaped card. The character on the card is called Mama Moomin. Apparently a very love character with the children there. It is really cute and I came over the name Moomin a few times when I read what other people love their postcard to be. So I have received one of the most desirable postcard. =DDDDD

Yay. Such lucky girl.

And this beautiful orchid stamp aat the back. Stamp is a small piece of art with beautiful detailed that will tell u story of the native.

Thank you for the card and the stamps.

Hail's Soft Serve, Damansara Utama

2016-07-31T21:47:00.000+10:00

A lot of fancy and ~~expensive~~ ice cream shop popping out in KL and Selangor. So many that I cant catch up.

This is one of the pricey ice cream that I like. =) Hail's Soft Serve, in Damansara Utama. Bump into it when we are meeting our prewedding photographer.

The dessert store has a calm sky blue with cotton cloud at certain tables. There are around 7-8 choices of ice cream flavor. Not much, i know but I instantly know which one I want. J POP. Simple reason cause it contained green tea. haha~

The J Pop.

The ice cream is actually not green tea. It is Blue Pea Gula Melaka. Not as sweet as the real gula melaka but still i like the subtle sweetness with the coldness of the ice cream. Although I sort of taken back by the blue color.

The green crumble is green tea flavored. =) can I have more?

And also green tea marshmallow. hee hee~ never a fan of marshmallow so no command.

This is the biggest discovery of the month. Beside cornflakes (I hate cornflakes by its own), what go well with ice cream??? IS the popcorn. My god. Next time I m going to get some crunchy popcorn and serve it with ice cream. The flavor and texture is so heavenly.

My happy face with my J Pop and boy boy. =)

Thank you for the treat.

Hello from Green Island (Qing Dao), China

2016-07-27T23:39:00.000+10:00

This lovely card on the drawing of one of teh important railway in China, The Nanjing Train Station is sent by Liu Jing jing.

The structure of the station is so pretty and it is surrounded by trees and water. =)) Must visit it one find day.

Sometime I do think that drawing can be much more attractive compare to a photograph.

And we should not leave out these vibrant stamps:

All about the pretty flowers from soft pink plum blossom to the ever energetic sunflower. Followed by this hibiscus like flower and of course the elegant camellia.

Thank you for all these beautiful card and stamps. =)

Hi from Ukraine

2016-07-24T19:25:00.001+10:00

Hello. This is a beautiful card from Ukraine by Ksiu.

This big bad tough looking pirate is called Billy Bones. He is from "Island of Treasure" which is a famous Ukraine cartoon.

The drawing is indeed very pretty and detailed. =)

and the stamp. Ah. Sometime I hope i have a better camera to catch the exact colour and shine of small objects. This picture totally doesnt justified how pretty the stamp is with hue of soft color at the back.

Thank you for the card and the stamp.

Smoked duck with cod fish claypot

2016-07-24T00:02:00.004+10:00

Oh. Another food post. I really love food more than fashion. But my stomach is so small I cant put much food in.

This is one yummy dish i ate recently in Umaiya, KLCC. Smoked Duck with Cod Fish Claypot.

Look at the eggs. =) It makes the rice moisture. The fish is soft which contrast well with the slightly tender duck meat.

Ah~~~ such heavenly. But good things most of the times doesnt come cheap. I think it cost around RM30++.

Thanks Daddy for the nice food. =)

Greeting from Saint Petersburg

2016-07-22T22:36:00.000+10:00

This beautiful handdrawn painting is from Irina.

Sometime a painting is much more attractive than a real photography picture to me. Mayb because it allows me to have more imagination and the layer of colour can be so pretty and vibrant sometime.

The beautiful stamps with snow softly cover on top. hee hee~ but i think I cant bear the coldness.

Thank you IRina for the beautiful postcard and stamps.

Greetings from Ufa, Russia

Hello from Belarus

2016-07-10T23:15:00.002+10:00

Another card that arrive long long time ago.

It is from Yana, Belarus. Featuring a beautiful building with a lot of statue in different position. I think it is worth a visit. Sometime I love staring into these marble or plaster statue in awe cause how can somebody make something looks so real and beautiful. Sometime even more beautiful than the real human.

And of course a pretty stamp on a structure of a big church. Hope I can read the words on it. These are one of the time that I wish I am more multiligual.

Thank you Yana. =)

Lavas from Lithuania

2016-07-04T22:50:00.001+10:00

*sniffsniff* having very bad sinusitis today.

The weather now is damn hot and humid it makes my body feel so uneasy. It is sweating but I cant still heat trapping inside my body.

Pretty cartoon card from Lithuania. Fearuting a purple bunny and some big head ducklings. It looks so peaceful in its sleep.

I need some quality sleep too. I am going through some mini mania phase where I cant sleep and have craving to keep reading STORY books non stop. Sorry, not academic books.

Currently I am reading "Goldfinch" by Donna Tart and this book is quite addictive. It also mentioned about drug addiction but the character inside is so strong that they didnt even go to rehab they can get themselves off cocaine addiction and opiate addiction. Hmmmmm....

A 3D stamps on wood and square structural. =)

Cheerio~

Chateraise KLCC

2016-07-03T21:46:00.001+10:00

It has being so long since I blog. There is a milllion reason eg. preparing for wedding, busy with work.... But the main reason is I am lazy. very very lazy. Feeling not motivated at all.

Decided to pick blogging back because that is the only way to record my day. Hmmmm.... I dont write diary anymore. So blogging is the only way to jot down my day.

Went to KLCC yesterday and nearly forget this all very famous bakery from Japan until my dad reminded me. Went hunting for it cause KLCC is so crowded and I hate crowds a lot.

The display of cake is so mesmerizing that i forget to take a pic. But the famous strawberry shortcake is out of stock. Bought another 2 that is highly recommended and hot selling item.

The box. Simple yet cozy.

Fresh cream short cake chocolate (the one with strawberry)
and Blueberry Rare Cheesse Cake (the one with blueberry of course).

They are so meticulous giving you a packet of cold packing so ur cake wont be too hot till it melt. and small spoon for you to dug in. heehee~

Blueberry Rare Cheese Cake (RM 14.80, GST havent included)

For me just a normal blueberry cheesecake but the texture is just good. Not too sour not too sweet.

Fresh Cream short Cake Chocolate (RM14.80, GST havent included)

Hee hee~ oops. forget to take before dug in photo.

The surprise of it:

Beside the fresh strawberry and the just nice chocolate taste (not too thick until you want to put it aside after a few bite). In the middle of it, it actually contain mini maltese. See the small round thing, is the maltese. With just a little adding, it make the whole cake whole lot more wonderful.

=) Overall is a good experience. Still looking forward for their strawberry shortcake. Of course price is slightly higher.

p/s: Oh. I forget about the cream puff. bleh. will do another post for it.

Hello from Moscow

A peaceful card with a girl drinking tea on a cool moon lit night with some soft music ongoing. Ermmmm..... such a bless.

Thank you for the card but currently I am in a oven because of El Nino. Although I am in air con room i feel like the heat from outside is trap in my body and my body is burning like hell. no. I dont think i have heat stroke yet. But going in and out of cold and hot environment in my work place doesnt help to improve the current situation. It actually worsen it by a lot. sigh. I just hope I dont fall sick.

Another pretty stamps at the corner of the postcard. Just like a rim. a beautiful blue lace. I seriously hope I can share more and type more but my eyes are really tired. think I am not a tech person anywhere. lol. hee hee

Ni Hao from Taiwan

2016-04-08T23:05:00.001+10:00

A card from Taiwan. So rare. I usually get my card from Russia.

It is a card about tea. Yeap. Taiwan is famous for their OoLong tea but I m not tea expert. Currently in love with green tea. It reduces the sweetness and I like the soft bitterness that came with it.

The stamps. =) They are pretty. Stamps are small version of art and you can share it out to other people.

Thank you for the postcard and the stamp.
