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 :(
