Few days back, a fan from Hong Kong posted on Jay Chou fans club page on Facebook requesting for postcard swapping, and her post caught my attention and I agreed to swap with her. Honestly, at first I was a little bit afraid because I haven't posted to unknown in a while and I was a little bit afraid to give a complete stranger my address, I am scared to be kidnapped, haha pun intended! But in the end I did and I have decided to send her a package instead of just a postcard. She got so excited when I told her that! I think this is one of the little things that can put a smile on our faces. Random act of kindness, yea? :)

She got me so excited, seriously. For the past few days, I have been so busy thinking what to put in the package to send to her, busy searching for beautiful postcard for her.

It reminds me of those days when I used to have penpals. I used to be so excited to write to them and wait for their replies. I checked my mailbox like every single day after school! And I used to tell them about my primary school crushes, hehehehehehe! *blushing

Until today, I am still keeping the old letters and cards I received from my friends and penpals. Handwritten cards and letters are always precious, especially in today's era where most people are sending digital cards instead of snail mailing. I spent yesterday night reading through old letters and cards given to me by those special ones, they still managed to put a smile on my face, well, even though some of them are not that close with me anymore now. Thank you :')

Why am I so long winded? Haha! Now, the main point of this post, akhems. Because of penpal-ing, I have collected a few albums of stamps. Dug out my albums today and snap a few photos of the stamps. :)

But now, I have decided to give away my stamps because I have stopped collecting them for a few years, therefore I might as well give them to new owners who would appreciate them? :D If you are a collector and wish to swap stamps or postcards with me, kindly email me at xinrou-undertherainbow@live.com :D
