TODAY my request to swap GF postcard to Ms Chang Chui of Beijing China is accepted. However, she demanded that I shall write some Malay language on the postcard. Before I could do that, she was showing me her GF card first that she's going to send me (see photo below)! She's so one sporting lady!

Beside her postcard, I also prepared some postcards to :

2. Alberto Cadorin of Venezla, Italy (fb-swap, vmy Langkawi)
3. Bartschal Johanna, Mackenbach, Germany (MY-303416, vmy Institut Penyelidikan Perhutanan Malaysia)
4. Dave Krauklis, Michigan, USA (fb-swap, vmy Hutan Royal Belum Perak) - he prefers in an envelope

I hope the cards will get to them very soon.

SURPRISINGLY today I received postcard after going back from Friday prayer.

The first postcard is a GF (Greeting From Russia) card from Irina (istai) of Saint Petersburg, Russia. She wrote: "Hello Wak Tiga Lalat! My name is Irina, 23 29 y.o Next month I'll be 30 y.o. I like travelling, so I decide to meet my 30 years abroad. I'm going to Cuba! It will be my first time there. In Russia is a real winter now. We say 'real', because we think that real winter when it's snow and cold ;) So, it looks like you dont' have winter in Malaysia :) I wish you to live in harmony and do what you like! Have good weather! Happy postcrossing! - Irina 19 Jan 2016 -2 deg celcius"

The second postcard is coming from Camille of Stevenage United Kingdom. She wrote: "GB-741433 My name is Camille. I am 29, French and I have been living in the UK for almost 4 years. I live in a town called Stevenage, located between Cambridge and London. I am sorry I dont have cards of landmark or historical sites. So I hope you wont mind this card of a typical building of London ;) Best wishes and happy postcrossing - Camille"



The third card is from Karine of Ottawa, Canada. She wrote: "CA-601646 Hello, My name is Karine. I live in Ottawa, Canada's National capital.
