2012 Dragon Year Stamp

Honestly, I've never seen anything as crazy as this since the last time I saw people rushing to get into Padini RM5 sales. I was up at 7am and took LRT to Pasar Seni. I arrived at 8.15am and I was really happy because there's no one there yet. Yeah right! A nice old uncle told me that the line is at the side and when i got there it was like this :


As if that wasn't crazy enough, when the time reach 8.30am (the official time post office open) the line is like this behind me O__O It was as if it has no ending O__O


So i waited for 2 and half hours before i got into the office itself. Luckily the post staff are smart enough this time and limit 3 sets and 1 folder for each person only. But the folder sold out at like the 80+th person and there is this middle-age guy pretty upset and complained loudly about it. Still, finished is finished, so bye-bye folder.

This is the stuff i've got. A couple of posters and  RM5 stamps for Yoke Ting and I, 3 RM3 stamps, 2 sheets of normal stamps and First Day Cover envelopes. I stuck the stamp onto the envelope and chopped the 'Warisan Tenunan' postmark. While pasting the eager crowd kept asking about the details. Turned out most of them are stamp noobs like me too...

The 'oh-la-la' golden laser printed RM5 (ouch) stamp on FDC envelope and the pamphlet cover.

And i reached hostel at 12pm, spending 4+ hours on buying some stamps... I guess it is worth the price thought, just not too sure that i'll spend so much money on stamps again... It's time to study now... exams are hours away :(

Happy New Year!

Oh it's another year, i guess...

Meaning that i have finally pass my 23th birthday... It seems like when you are getting older, you have less mood for it. All i want to do on my birthday is sleep. Hahaa, nothing special happened this year. 2011 seems like a really plain year. I learned a lot of thing in 2011. Even if not a lot of special things happened. I learned how to be more relaxed, learned how not to be too possessive and aggressive, learned to keep things to myself, started to pursue what i want actively instead of waiting for it to happen.

Back few years then I was like a crazy person and gone through a lot of pressures and lows. But in 2011 it was all good. I started to actually enjoy 'doing nothing but wasting my time life'. People always say you should start early and aim high if you want to fly high. But the facts is you should stop a while and have some fun once a while. It's really sad if one doesn't even know how to make themselves happy. Yeah, i was kind of sad. In 2012, I'll get more productive (i guess) and learn the equilibrium of life.

I have a feeling 2012 will be a GOOD year. *self-hugsss*
