Surprisingly for me, today I just knew that there is a postcard portal just like the Postcrossing.com. It's called Postcard United which was launched last year. I missed the date. Damn. But it's okay, life must go on. Lol.

Anyway, after sending 5 initial postcards to the Postcard United penpals, I got the first message reply from Penang. It took the postman 2 days only to deliver the postcard. I am so surprised and delighted. Normally it would take a week even if the postcard was sent from across the causeway only.

This is a short video clip on how I normally write a postcard from my home.

Thanks for watching.

Salam my blog readers, if there is any? Lol.
