Update as at 18 Feb 2022: Sad that I no longer can join the swaps regularly like pre-covid times!! Mails are still not so smooth from Malaysia so I do not want to cause any problems! Hope one day I can come back to this awesome place again! If I have missed out anyone's swaps, please message me personally ok! In the meantime, take care and stay safe everyone!!!

A stamp collector who has been collecting stamps for many years. Recently became postcards craze and has been actively collecting postcards lately. I am very active in postcrossing and also at a yahoo group for exchanging stamps!

I love all kinds of postcards, but my favorites would be map cards, lighthouse, mosques, landscapes, animals, LOTR, Moomin and Inge Look. I would be most happy if you paste nice stamps on postcards or envelopes when you sent mails to me!

I also collect these series:

1) Greetings from postal love

2) FOTW & MOTW postcardmarket

3) Icons postcardhouse

4) HPC papersisters

5) WOW at etsy

6) WC postcardsisters

7) WT nisan

8) COTW house of postcards

If you have any of the above, please let me know and we can swap!

June 2018 - I am trying to "discover" the crafty side of me which I know have never existed!! However I only know how to put stickers or washi tapes on cards or postcards! Washi tapes is now my current favourite craft! And I love all types of designs and colours, though my favourite would be any tapes with animals, words, flowers, any form of patterns and those colourful ones, especially purple, blue and black based tapes!

The ❤️ of my life has gone....

❤️ 21 November 2014 - My father passed away at 7 am on this day. He was 76 years old. He had kidney complications, too old to undergo dialysis and his health slowly deteriorated beginning early 2014. Extremely sad to let him go...I got a job closer to home to look after him and my mom when I completed my studies. Now it is just me and my mom. The house seems rather empty with just the two of us... ❤️

❤️ 13 February 2015 - My mother decided to follow my dad's footsteps. She passed away at 3.44 pm on this day. She was 73 years old. She had heart failure and was admitted to CCU for about 23 days. Extremely sad to let her go...I just lost my dad 84 days ago and now this. Now it is just me all alone. I feel that there is nothing left for me in this world. The house is now very empty with just me and the four walls staring right back at me...❤️

❤️ 7 April 2020 - My one and only brother left us at 5.30am. He just turned 49 on 27 March 2020.. He did not have any major sickness. But I guess it was his time to go. He left behind us, 4 siblings and his wife and 5 boys. I hope my SIL and my 5 nephews stay strong! It was a difficult time for us when his passing was during this lockdown period. But we got to see him for the last time. We love you Ghaz and we miss you alot already! ❤️

The ❤️ of my life are no longer with me...

Besides being absorbed with my stamps and postcards collection, I love cats too! I have 1 at the moment, Beckham. My baby girl KImchi just passed away on 4 April 2019. Extremely sad! Now left with my teenager boy Beckham...

10 July 2012 - My dearest cat, BUCK, passed away last night due to liver complications. It was really an emotional day for me. I have had her for more than 10 years. She is half blind, a cross breed between mainecoon and domestic cat. She was diagnosed with liver problems 2 months ago. I cried the whole night. No cat can ever replaced Buck. She left behind 2 kids - Bubu and Nicol. Alfatihah. RIP Buck. RIP Bubu (passed away in Nov 2013). RIP Nicol.

Likes - Besides stamps and postcards, obviously I love anything with cats on them! I also love souvenirs or anything native from a country. Basically anything that tourists would normally buy, like magnets, keychains, tea towels, tote bags, stationeries, etc.

I love tea and coffee. Favorite would be fruity flavored teas and latte....yummy!!! I wish though Starbucks coffee are cheaper!!! LOL!! I don't mind chocolates and candies, as long as they don't have any alcohol or animal gelatin in them.

I don't really dislike anything but I am not quite into cute stuffs (too old for that I guess! )! I don't collect CTO stamps either...those colorful stamps you can purchase at stores. And please don't send chocs or candies with animal gelatin or alcohol in them.

Feel free to ask me for anything you want from Malaysia. Will try to help find it! You can even email me at new_rule5@yahoo.com
