Wed, 11/2/26.

Last Sunday, I went to Ipoh town and stopped at Galeri Rumah Lat, a local cartoonist legend.

I snapped 1 photo of his old postcard as a souvenir and put it here.

Sun, 4/1/26.

While solo backpacking in Melaka, i bought a postcard for rm1.

Thu, 1/1/26.

Happy new year 2026.

Today i visited KL Tower (421m).

At the observatory deck i saw a gift shop selling postcards. I bought instantly one of the postcards for rm5. It's quite expensive compare to a normal price of rm1. Then I asked the young salesman about the stamp. He said, "uncle baik beli kat luar, sini sy jual rm2,"

Yesterday, I visited Marina Island in Lumut, Perak. I saw a souvenir shop and asked the salesgirl — a young, chubby lady — about a postcard.

"Sekarang takda lagi poskad!" 

Hi everybody.
It's been more than 3 years I didn't update this blog.

The last entry I posted here when I was in Lumut, Perak, Malaysia.
There is something wrong with the image on that post.
I'll check it later.
As I'm staying far far away from my backup hardisk where I keep all the previous photos.

Anyway.
As some of you are already aware.
That I am staying in Doha, Qatar now.
It's been 1 month already.
Hopefully I can stay here until my working contract expired next year.
Or better after the World Cup Qatar 2022.
InsyaAllah - may god permit me to do that.
Amin.

Talking about the postcard.
It's quite a challenge to find hereby.
The only place I've found the postcard is at the Souq Waqif.
So, after a couple visits to the photo shop.
Finally, I decided to purchase one postcard.
It's price is 5 riyal per piece.
Normally with 5 riyal, I can buy about 5 postcards in my country.
But, there is another issue.
I need to purchase stamp and how to post it into my hometown.

I'll keep you all posted in this blog.

See you next time.

Salam from Doha, Qatar.
4 November 2021.

Arrived Lumut town today.
Walking around the town looking for local postcard. Stumble upon an Indian shop showing postcard on it’s window. Only 2 designs but the price of rm2 each is expensive. Nonetheless, I bought 2 pieces for each design.

Last week my wife went to Langkawi with her friends. So she bought me some local postcards.

Note. Writing on Pixajoy postcards is a hard thing to do bcoz the card surface is so slicky. So, today I bought a new artline pen which get both 0.4mm and 1.0mm points so that I can write it easily on the postcards.

After 2 weekends I was outstation, when I checked on my mailbox, I received only 6 postcards.

Postcrossing:
1. Feiyue, China
2. Marta & Andrey, New York

Postcard United:
3. Matt, Wisconsin

5. Elizabeth, California
6. Cikgu Honeysha, KL

Hence, today, I have finished writing 28 postcards to my new penpals all over the world.

And one swap postcard from Liu Tao, Liaoning, China.

Last week, I already asked my good friend to buy a bunch of drawn local postcard at Kinokuniya KLCC (top image). One piece is rm2.20 which is considered expensive to the local poscard standard.

Today, I managed to go to Kota Iskandar JB to buy some postcards (bottom image). Actually on 2 arts are available, so I bought 5 pieces for each art. One piece is RM1 only.

PIXAJOYS - a new online printing company which I tried to print out my photography postcards. As promised, it took only 3 days to deliver to my doorstep. I am so surprised because of its efficiency.

However, after unpackaging it, I am quite upset because of the shiny and glossy of the written side of the postcards. It's hard to write on it I believe!

Other advantage I found out about Pixajoys is that I can choose and select any number of photographs per package, unlike the Gogoprint postcard only one art per package of 100 pcs. In this order, I chose 54 cards per package of RM49, whereas, the gogoprint cost about RM44 for 100pcs. This makes a lot of differences.

Link to my previous order of Gogoprint: MALAYSIA POSTCARDS FOR SALE.

A few day ago, after seeing my postcrossing fb friend found Sekinchan postcards, I managed to go to Pantai Redang and bought 2 packets of postcards too.
