When i was a kid, i remembered vaguely i would cut off every of this stamp on the letters posted to the house...
Thereafter i would collect every single stamp i can find and using my hard-earned pocket money to buy stamps...
But after primary school, interests were diverted and subsequently my only stamp book was lost...
So it was like taking the ride from back to the future...
Going through from the past to the present of the small tiny piece of print on the right hand side of the letter...
Don't we just love to post letters...
Can't remember when was the last time i posted a letter...
Maybe in the old age period when the dinosaurs still existed...
Letterbox itself have changed so much...
Was surprised by a lampost letterbox that was about 2metres tall...
Or even a drive-though letterbox...
Over time, stamps have flourished, undergoing many changes in terms of shape, size, content, colour and even purpose..
Now, in their own little way, they carry cultura, economic and political messages between countries they travel, depicting the history, the successes, the hopes and aspirations, and the unique traditions of their country of origin...
After the history about stamps & mails...
We were intrigue to stamps from across the region...
We were intrigue to stamps from across the region...
Brought me back to the days where i was facinated by the degree of detail on everypart of the stamp...
I got the urge to steal all the stamps and paste it all over my room...
Then everything i got to know about Singapore Post...
Somehow being a postman in the past looks everybit like a boy scout...
Funny hat, greenish-brown uniform with long socks that run all the way to the knees...
The only cool part is that they ride a vespa...
Apart from being all stamp-y...
The cartoon and action hero stamps kicks in...
Everyone wants to be a Superhero...
It naturally became a playground for us...
