Happy Posto (Apr.16)

Assalamualaikum my friends and readers.

  
April 2016 is my happy mail month. I’ve been receiving postcards via my postcrossing project. This card was from Czech Republic. 

  
And the animal stamps. Cute!

  

 Few days after that I received two more postcards from Belarus and Russia.The postcards looks vintage and that was one of the requirement that I mentioned in my account. 

 

Even their stamps were unique. It was my first time to receive any mail from Belarus. 
  
And there goes the day after… I received two more from Finland and Lithuania. My first time too from both countries. 

  
Look at the mini stamps. How cutie! 😄

  
Last week I got this postcard in my mailbox. This beautiful sunset postcard was from Netherlands. 

  
And I love the stamp too. Learned it from my friend that this is Van Gogh. One of famous artist in Netherlands. ☺️

Happy Posto (Feb/2016)

Assalamualaikum dunia…

How are you my friends and readers.

  
This month I received a frog postcard from Netherlands. It was a card of Blijdrop Zoo in Rotterdam. The second card was from Finland. The sender chose a Valentine Card for me since it is February. I found that both cards were very cute. 😍 

  
Love the stamps on the postcards too. 🐸 

Do you have any postcards to share? 😉

Happy Posto November 2014 (Part II)

Posto! Posto!

Last week I’ve been receiving some mails from outside Malaysia.

This is from My pen pal Chanae of California. She had spoiled me with those cutie stuff. Thank you Chanae!

And then I received postcards from Marian of Philippina. Better late than never. Salamat! 😉

Postcard from Japan

Moshi moshi mina san!

I used to have pen pals from Japan. Not exactly a pen pal, more to cyber friends. We contacted through mixi website (it’s like a fb but in Japanese) and through email. Unfortunately, I’ve lost contact with them.

I always wanted to have incoming mails from Japan. Therefore I am still looking for new pen pals from the country.

Last week, I received a postcard from Japan. Well, it wasn’t from any new pals from there. This is from Abg Fadli of mytravellicious. I thanked him for the lovely card! It’s a Mount Fuji printed on it.

I hope I can get more incoming mails from the country of the sun rise in the future. Or I wish…. that someday I can visit Japan.

Ja! Mata ne~ Sayonara!

Happy posto (End of June 2014)

Hello readers… Sorry for neglecting the blog again. Did you missed me? Lol.

I was super busy last week. There were so many things to complete whether in office or in my house. I wish to go for a vacation when all of these are done.

However, there are things that could make smile with my daily super busy life. Incoming mails!!

First, I received a beautiful glittery postcard from Daniella of Georgia. The reflection of the river has glitter effects on it.

Another postcard received was from Afif of Indonesia. Such a beautiful view of the beach in Bali.

I also received a letter from my new pen pal Beam of Thailand. Thank you for the lovely letter which includes a postcard and some cute stickers. ♥

Last but not least, a postcard from Ditta of Indonesia. It shows an illustration of a big bear and baby bear planting flowers. So sweet…

Thanks to the senders… now my collection of postcards and stamps are piled up. XD I would love to do swapping again with you guys next time.

Happy fasting to my Muslim friends… ^_^

Happy Posto Jan.2014

Hello there…

Received a mail from Singapore, last week. It was from Angela. Let’s see what’s inside the mail.

How sweet… Thank you my friend, for a thoughtful new year gifts. =)

This postcard really captured my heart. I never expect that she’ll keep it for me. It was my stitch work for Popin project. (spot the one with a heart sticker, that’s mine.) Thank you thank youuu so much!

Old School Hobby

I used to have old school hobby.
Collecting stamps and postcards. Yeah, for some of you especially the new generations, this hobby might sound pretty boring and unchallenging. For those who shares the same hobby like me would understand the feeling. =)

Last time, there was no facebook, twitter, instagram. Handphone? Also nada. I lived in a small town where the tv channels also very limited. I still remember how I would love raining before, because when it was raining, my home can received signal to watch TV3. Lol! Imagine how we managed to kill the spare time when we were young. That’s how I had came across to love this hobby.

While doing the spring cleaning that day, I found my Stamp albums. i have two albums indeed, the other one is belongs to my sister. hehe. I have many collections from the United Kingdom, some from foreign countries and not fogetting from within Malaysia.  My sister was studying oversea before, one of the way to contact each other was by writing letters. Besides, I was active in ‘pen palling’ during that time. That’s where I got some of the stamps.

I also love collecting postcards. Mostly I got them from my sister. She told me, postcards was one way for advertising in UK. And it’s free! So she kept it and gave it to me. Look, I got postcards of Liverpool players as well… (used to be a Liverpool fan before. Will keep it for another story. hehe). I have postcard of The Verve, Bluetones, Primal Scream… you won’t have that in Malaysia. yihiii.. There is a postcard from New Zealend, this postcard really brings memory to me. It was from my mirc friend – Blair.(yeah…. mirc, remember??? lol) He studied in New Zealend and he likes to tease and call me ‘nerdy girl’ because I told him that I have to take computing course before. For him, computing course is for a nerd people only. hehe. That was it, we lost contact after I entered the college. huhu.

I realised that most of my postcard collections were fancy postcards. Only a few were representing the country. ahaha. Can you spot Rose and Jack from the Titanic postcard? Yeah, I was crazy over Leonardo Di Caprio when I was teenager. There you go, my secret reveals. Ahaha. I still have some postcards not in the album. If you love to collect or swap postcard with me, don’t hesitate to contact me (nazuramn@yahoo.com). We can swap and I would love to do so…

Now, tell me… do you have any old school hobby?

Ciao!

Postcards for pen pals

Hiya!
I have promised to my blog friends Angela and Marian that I will be sending postcards for them. So the postcards hunting begun for the past few weeks.

Later that I found, it was hard to find postcards nowadays. I went to the bookstores but found none of it was selling postcard.

So I went to the Main Baazar @ Craft Baazar to continue the hunting. Only a few shops were selling postcards, and the postcards were faded. I am soo sad to see this. This is not a good impression for tourists when they’re visiting our country.

Last weekend, I went to the Plaza Merdeka. There I found a souvenir shop, so I went to see it. Luckily I found there were so many postcards, souvenirs which is not ‘faded’. The most important thing is the price was so good. Like buy 3 for RM5, Buy 4 for RM10. Good marketing strategy!

So here’s my caught for the hunting.

A Sarawak Museum. The museum is located in the middle of the city.

The Cats Monument. This is also can be found in the middle of the city. A trademark when you come to Kuching.

Those postcards are on their way to the owner. Hopefully they will like it. 😉

I have plenty of postcards and souvenirs to swap/trade. If any of you interested to join the circle, do email me (nazuramn@yahoo.com) and we will start the swap activity. Would love to hear from you soon…

Postcard from Singapore

When I was still in school, one of my hobby is collecting and swapping postcards with my pen pals or my swap friends.

However, the fun activities stop after I entered college/universities life. Indeed, I missed swapping and writing to pen pals.

Luckily found Sweet Angela from wordpress blog. I saw that she also loves collecting postcards, so we decided to swap postcard.

This is the first postcard she sent to me. Thanks dear… am still searching for the right postcard for you. 😉
