Some of my STAMPS collections... (NOT FOR SALE / EXCHANGE / SWAP)

As some of my friends know that I do collect stamps and is still very active in doing it. I have been collecting them for the past 20 years or more. I am just a collector and collects what I like. Not a philatelist. I do not study stamps. I just love the authentic look at it. Each stamps, although it looks like just a simple small squared or rectangled piece of paper, is actually a unique identification of each country.  

I collect mostly Brunei Darussalam's stamps but I do collect other countries' stamps too.  

Here I am going to post some of my personal collections.  It's not a big collection like others, but I really treasure them.



















 
P/S: As I said, I am not a philatelist. The label might be wrong. So please, if you think it's wrong , please please please do message me, or comment.  Would appreciate that.

Rainy Season in Brunei Darussalam

It's the time again. Its been raining every night now for the past one week. But I have been lucky that it only started to rain heavily once I reached home. 😄

I do love the rain, but only if I am at home. Listening to the rain while watching a show or just spend time with our furbabies.  

 

FINALLY!!!!.....

Yay!!! Mails finally coming in after 2 months and 17 days. It may not be many, but it sure does makes me happy. Hoping that it will keep coming more and more ....

And I do hope mine will reach its recipients too...

How I spend our public holiday recently. 😻 (15th July)



Every year, 15th July is our public holiday.  It's to celebrate His Majesty, The Sultan's Birthday. Although with the pandemic, it is still blessed with a prayer with His Majesty and family attending the. And of course with great measure of safety and well-being of everyone,  all precautions and whatever instructions and advices from the Ministry of Health must be followed. With only limited number of people to attend and must be Green Coded too.

And on this special day too, like any public holiday, we go back to out grandma's place.  Currently my grandma is living with my aunties.  My grandma is already 89 years-old, Alhamdulillah.
