YESTERDAY I got 2 postcards with IDs on my mailbox. Marina from Tynmen, Russia wrote, "Hi Wak! My name is Marina, I am 25 years old, now I m living in Tynme, but was born and grew up to 16 years. I have in a small town Angersk, which is not far from Irkutsk. This postcard shows the Lake Baikal and its bay Makhor. In the New Year holidays, I was again in these places. Angara is not even cold, even though it was -30 C."

The second postcrosser is Leif from Germany wrote, "New Ways, ie new way is always a risk. But if we have the courage to go off, then every stumble and every misstep is a victory over our fears, our doubts and concerns."

Updated. Today I also received 2 postcards from Chang Chui (GF China) and Tracy (swap-bot) of UK. Thanks to everybody!

Cheers.






Updated. This evening when I checked my mailbox again, I saw 2 postcards inside it. The postcrossing ID BE-422623 belongs to Hilde of Belgium. He wrote, "Hello Wak, This is a view of my hometown. I like it here. Mechelen is an old city with many historical buildings. And I love history. I love reading books too and in the evening I 'm crocheting and knitting. Have a nice day!" The other one coming from Charne of South Africa.

TODAY I prepare 4 more postcards to be sent out. Surprisingly, all of them with postcard IDs, which means no direct swap. There are:

Meanwhile, on the other address, I got few more 'direct swap' postcards from Cik Norazlin (Plentong), Bang Bang of the Philippines and Ilkin Teymun of Baku, Azerbaijan. Also a postcrossing ID (NO. 46) postcard coming from Rachel of Taipei, Taiwan. She wrote, "TW-1870701 Hi Wak! I'm Rachel from Taipei, Taiwan. This card was bought when I travel to Macau! I also collect stamps, hope you like the ? on this card? Have you ever been to Macau? The bungee jumping is crazy!!! You should try it!! " Hi Rachel, I never been to Macau but I would like visit someday. Thank you for your temple postcard!

I also received for the first time a GF from South Korea. Thank you to Jiwon. ;p

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 :

I hope the cards will get to them very soon.

TODAY, surprisingly I received 5 postcards on my mailbox. Probably because of the long weekend holiday due to the Hari Wilayah (Federal Day).

The first postcard comes from Tommy of China. This is my 21st postcard from postcrossing ID. He wrote:


Yes Tommy, I visited Beijing 3 years ago and walked on the Great Wall of China! Thank you again for the lovely postcard.

The second postcard comes from Ms Sara of Poland. I know her through her blog: sawatka. She wrote:

TODAY I am happy to hear that my second postcard was received by Alisa Zhou of China. This is my first postcard using second post-crossing account.

Sadly, I am still waiting for my first postcard received.

Due to long time journey of the snail mail sending the previous postcards as mentioned by other postcrossing users, I decided to create one more account in the postcrossing website. This time I use my mail address in Johor. Hopefully I can get more postcards by this method.

These are postcards of different countries I sent:

To: Angy & Chandra, Russia

To: Uwe Hauenstein, Germany

To: Alisa Zhou, People Republic of China

To: Jessica Tabet, United States of America

To: Barbara Kulka, Poland
