**First of all, I want to give thanks to Ms Lenny (my blogger friend) who shows me the postcard crossing project. Thank you! :)

ALHAMDULILLAH. After a long holiday weekend, today I received 2 postcards inside my mailbox. The most anticipated postcard I ever received so far after almost 3 months in the Postcrossing project, finally I got a postcard from Malaysia. As my mentor and aspiration postcrosser, I introduce you Ms Lenny of Seremban. "Terimakasih cik kak Lenny kerana memberi tunjuk ajar untuk wak mulakan projek poskad ini. Tanpa cik kak Lenny yang baik hati, siapalah wak yg ini kan? Cik kak Lenny kannns."

"Hahaha feeling hantar ke oversea yer wak" - Lenny of Malaysia

20 sen and 30 sen stamps of Malaysia (2015)

At the same time, I also received postcard from Ms Mariana Lino for my first Direct Swap.

"16/12/2015
Hello, Ola!
Hope you like this
view of Fatima Church
that I visit several
times and
located about
40 kms from
my hometown.
All the best - Mariana."

Note. Link to the sending off the postcard to Ms Mariano can be found HERE.

Ironically both postcards (from Ms Lenny & Mariana) shows the sunset view on the postcard which is very beautiful and mentioned on my postcrossing profile.

Fatima Church, Portugal. The name of the town and parish is a rendition of the Arabic given name Fatima ( فاطمة Fāṭimah), reportedly the name of a Moorish princess who converted to Christianity (and also the name of a daughter of Muhammad). - Wikipedia

Note. On my way back home, I managed to post my 'direct swap' postcard to Ms Charne Van Eck of South Africa:

Updated. 6.1.16. Received by Yuki Kimura, Japan.

TODAY I send another three new postcards to our post-crosser.

1. Yuki Kimura of Japan . Updated. 6.1.16. Received.
2. Jussara of Brazil
3. Anastasia Nikita of Indonesia

Hopefully they will do the same to me. Lol.

Note. The postcards I used for this batch are featuring Thaipusam festival in Batu Caves.





Updated. Later I received a message from Mariana Lino of Portugal that she agreed to swap postcards. I will send this postcard to her by today. Updated again. 30/12/15. I received her swap postcard. Thank you Mariana.
