but i never knew we had such beautiful stamps. I mean i knew we had lovely fruit stamps, bird stamps etc around the 30 cents and 50 cents range but since using Malaysian Registered Post and shipping overseas, I've had the lovely opportunity of seeing the more expensive and colourful RM10, RM20 and RM5 stamps..and they are BEE-U-tiful!
Unfortunately for me, i can't keep these stamps...otherwise, my shipment might as well lie in the gutter and wait for the heavy rainfall to take it to sea where it will float (or sink) to its destination.
Then came a special request from one of my customers asking me to include any used Malaysian stamps i had lying around with her order. That got me thinking... so i went-a-hunting around the house and found me...wait for it....a paltry 3 pieces of used stamps.
Fortunately, I have an awesome aunt who has been collecting every stamp she's received in the mail since the beginning of time and has graciously obliged to part with a few duplicates.
I'm making it a point now to start a little passive collection of stamps...for a few reasons:
1) Stamps are such tiny, beautiful pieces of art...i wouldn't mind a little collection..
2) The next time i have a request like this, i won't have to go digging around other people's mailboxes...hehe...it's not like i did it this time, k?
3) If I'm not filthy rich when i'm old and unable to hold a mouse any longer...i'll have the stamps to help pay for my remaining days on earth..
Check out our lovely Malaysian Stamp Gallery. If you're an avid stamp collector, you can even register with the Malaysian Post to get stamp collections mailed directly to you, wherever you are. Register here:)
