Postcards from Jarai Carter (left) and Marc Migge (Germany)

Jarai wrote, "Hello Wak, I hope your year has started off great. Chicago is the biggest city in Illinois. It has wonderful museums (history & science) and a great aquarium. It also has a Shakespeare theater built like the ones in England in real old times! Happy Postcrossing, Jarai Carter.

Marc wrote, "Hello Wak, I hope you like this amazing sunset over Mainz. The colours are so beautiful and the silhouettes of the buildings are a nice contrast, dont you think? Best wishes, Marc"

YESTERDAY I got a new postcard with ID (not direct swap) from Monique family of Netherlands. She wrote:

"NL-3276648

the deltaregion of Zeeland in the
southwest part of the NL.
I wish you a Happy New Year and
Happy Postcrossing.

Monique"

Then, I also received a postcard from Yuki, Japan. She wrote:

"Hello! Mr Wak =)

approximately one month passes.

of the world =)

Another postcard was coming from my neighbor and the popular miss Sally Samsaiman. I asked her to send the postcard through the post office so that I could get the stamped chopped postcard from Malaysia! Thank you cik Sally. She wrote:

"Salam Wak!

Disebabkan wak nak cop, jadinya
Sally kirim kat pejabat pos,
mintak tolong copkan ;)
INgat nak share entri pasal
Jinafen ni, tapi belum siap
lagi tulisnya. Nanti dah siap,
sally share kat Wak!
Btw, selamat mengumpul poskad
ye wak. Tabik kat hobi =)
Regards, Sally Samsaiman =) "

A FEW DAYS ago I went to Muzium Negeri (State Museum) of Negeri Sembilan just to buy Seremban city's postcards. This is due to the gallery that was selling postcard was closed when I arrived last month. The story here: Blog aku pergi muzium negeri kota lukut.

I bought just a few postcards that interest me. Whoever wants to swap these postcards, please let me know.

TODAY I received 4 poscards. The first postcard (no. 17 on postcrossing ID) delivered by Ms Greta of Lithuania. She wrote:

"Labas (Hello) Wak!

Greetings from snowy Lithuania :)

My name is Greta, I'm almost 23 years old and I live 

in our capital city Vilnius! It's the biggest city in 

LTU with 540 000 of habitants. I guess comparing with 

cities of Malaysia it is very small for you ;D

I've picked you this postcard because thats how 

Lithuania looks in winter. I hope you will like it!

Best wishes to you in New 2016 year! 

Greta. -16 C. LT-485692"

The second postcard was from Jiwon of South Korea. She wrote:

"Apa khabar Wak!

Thank you for the offer :)

It's first time to send a postcard to Malaysia.

So interesting.

I wish you a happy new year in 2016 and all your efforts 
into great achievements!

Best wishes, Jiwon"

The third and fourth postcard were coming from Pang of Thailand. Pang's second postcard was attached (slightly glued) together with the first one, and to the postcrosser named Olivia of United Kingdom. I would send the Olivia's postcard directly from my post office here in Malaysia. Pang wrote:

"Dear Wak,

Sawasdee ka! greetings from Thailand.

I'm Pang from Thailand. Thank you to interested direct swap with me. 

I guess this card will arrive you after new years.

So, Happy New Years. May all your wishes come true in 2016.

Pang"

Later I message her about the error, and she replied (misunderstood):

"Hello Wak,
I'm so sorry about my mistakes about postcard.
I will send new card to you and thank you about postcard
you will send to Ms Olivia.
I'm really sorry.
Best wishes, Pang"

I am trying to reply back but my postcrossing message is full right now. So, I need to tell her again tomorrow morning after 8am.

Wrongly delivered postcard to my mailbox. From Pang (Thailand) to Olivia (UK).
