Ha ha, believe it or not I had a collectors badge from Scout's Club back when I was in Secondary school. I showed the Scout Master my single mingy and sparse Stamp Book to officially get my collectors badge and he asked me if it was my parents or grandparents. The Bugger, Seriously?! I told him if it was theirs' it would be a bigger collection. I also started collecting free postcards some time after that and recently... I found not only POSTCROSSING but this huge stack of stamps laying around the BF's house!!!
I am damn happy!! Owh and I "stole" a whole bunch of FREE over sized postcards from Parkson- Pavillion last Sunday. Then being the klutz that I am, I dropped everything all over the place and got "caught" being not only a shameless free loader but also a hoarder LOL. I bought some Malaysian postcards but they're so unattractive! The Parkson postcards were more gorgeous. I've already posted some of them out!
Being paranoid that my postcard wont get sent cause they're so huge, I decided to play safe and double check at the post-office again. I stuck a 50cent stamp on it to save time and waited for my turn. When it came my turn I've only managed to show my postcard to her without uttering a sound.
The lady behind the teller at the post-office replied in Malay "30cent for postcards". She did a double-take, where at this point I thought she noticed how big it was but she added in Malay again "Local or international?". I some how managed to squeak "International" and without even double checking she just said "50cents." and waved me to move along.
I was like "This big?" while pointing at my postcard and she gave me this look that said "yeah clearly you know it's 50cents, cause there's a stamp in exact amount stuck on it - what else can I do for you - please get out of my face soon.". There's more to that story but am not going to bore you with details of what happed after.
Love,
Natalie
