Deepavali Personalized Stamps


Pos Malaysia will be issuing yet another personalized stamps with regards to celebration in Malaysia. This time around, its for Deepavali and Pos Malaysia will issue the full sheet on 14th October 2010 which is tomorrow. The full sheet cost RM19.00 which again I think its rather expensive when you consider the face value of the stamp which is only RM6.00

I guess this is an opportunity for collectors/philatelist to add this set to their personalized stamp collection. Moreover, an opportunity to have some private FDCs. That will be interesting. Though, its an interesting idea by Pos Malaysia, I do feel a sense of uneasiness when it comes to issues of this sort. How do we categorized them? They are personalized stamps which are officially issued by Pos Malaysia. I guess I better take this to my next post and I'm sure it will be a heated discussion as personalized stamps has always been a rather controversial thingy in philately.

Anyway, it will be great to have this stamps on a postal cover as this kinda cover can be scare in the future. Doubt many will buy these stamps to post their cards. LOL... To all my readers who are interested in this set, please drop me a message/comment as I will not be getting this set unless requested by friends.

Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my Hindu friends an advance HAPPY DEEPAVALI.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI

First pre-printed personalized stamps of Malaysia

Happy Aidilfitri or 'Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri' to all my Muslim readers. Above is the first pre-printed personalized stamps of Malaysia specially printed for Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2010. Its sold at RM19 per sheet but if you ask me, its rather pricey; taking into account the face value is only RM6. Anyway, I guess I cannot be the judge of this. It all depends on the philatelist; if this is part of what you collect, I guess it doesn't matter if its RM19 or RM90. We will still be willing to pay for it. Its just the parts and parcels of philately. HAHAHA.

With this sheet, I believe we can look forward to more issues for Christmas, Deepavali and Chinese New Year. Indirectly, POS Malaysia has introduced another area to collect. Interesting but I'm not too keen. My Birds of Prey is already keeping me on my toes...

Cover From France


This is a very very beautiful cover with personalized stamps from France during the stamp exhibition in June 2010. The cover has nice cancellation of the "Salon Planete Timbres" and I simply love it. Thanks again my dear friend for this lovely cover and as always I'm looking forward to more friendly exchanges.

When my wedding was nearing early this year (23th Jan 2010), its seem inevitable that I need to do something with regards to philately to commemorate my wedding. The best thing to get was clearly personalized stamps.My beloved wife was very supportive and excited with the idea of getting our own stamps. Below are two of our favourite stamps. Please enjoy:

PS: I lOVE YOU

Im not really into Personalized Stamps but this one is special. My engagement to my beautiful and loving fiancee, Pamela was on 24th May 2008 hence felt that these stamps would be perfect. Both set depicts our engagement pictures. As a philatelist, I feel its great to have moments like this to be commemorated on Stamps.

Darling, Im really happy that u like them alot and from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for being there 4 me. I know at times (actually most of the time), my obsession on philately can be annoying but u were always there for me. I guess thats wat make u so SPECIAL... I know u have have gone to so much troubles to get stamps and especially the SODA account for me. Im just so lost for words....


Would like to take this opportunity to announce that my wedding is on 30th January 2010. All are invited to this joyous occasion and Im certain it will b the happiest day in my life.

PS: I LOVE U, PAMELA
