An Old First Day Cover ~

20-04-2010, While I was enjoying a wonderful collection of stamps in my father's stamp album, I found this "Cats" first day cover - year 1999. Year 1999 was the same year I was born, this  means this first day cover is same age with me :)  I was enjoying to see stamps collection, the art is very nice.
The back of  this envelope is a black and white striped cat, doesn't it look like a real cat?

Attached in this first day cover, it is a cats album. Inside the albums there is a lot of cats photos and their information. This series issued while that was an International Cat Show in 1999.

** There is a state call Kuching (The city of cats) in Sarawak, Malaysia. I have visited  Kuching with my family few years ago, I still remember that there were so many cat statues built in the city, and there is even a world one and only  "Cat Museum" in Kuching.

Modelling Clay Angry Birds

Image
Angry Birds is the most addictive game around recently. Now that my trial exam is over, I can have a short break and continue blogging. During the  days of examination, I do some revision during the night and head off to bed early. When I find some time in between the times I do revision, I quickly head off to my room and work out my project. According to the game, these 3 birds are the first 3 avian missiles in the group. As I am saving up clay for further "projects", I only made the small ones fingernail-size. It might look easy but for me the smaller I make it, the more challenging it is to create one. It also consumes a lot of time to make the smaller three. You see, some accident occurred and the yellow bird  eyebrows just didn't look that nice anymore. I am very upset that the yellow bird didn't look like just the way I wanted it. The black bird was rather an easy task because it wasn't too small but the main problem was its crest and beak. For the white b...

Beijing Summer Camp 2012

Image
This year’s Beijing Summer Camp held on the 17 th ~26 th of July in the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) was the greatest camp I’ve ever been to. When we arrived in the BFSU, it was already midnight so we just checked into our rooms but I was so excited that I didn’t get tired and decided to stay up for a little while longer.  Without noticing that the sun rises earlier in the summer, I stayed up until I thought morning had already begun. Some of my friends woke up too and we were totally restless so we decided to have a walk around the school. As soon as we got out of our dorms, we saw plenty of beautiful places like the canteen, the hall and even the field but there was no one else around as the others were still sleeping while some other campers had still not arrived at the BFSU yet. Well, everyday day was better than the last and I am speechless about this amazing camp.             This camp really taught...

Caving Exploration - Tempurung Cave

Image
28 November 2010     I woke up early this morning deciding to explore Tempurung Cave together with Aunty Ebbie's family and friends alongside with Le Chi's family. There was a total of 23 people in our group. We took about two and a half hours drive there as it was a long way away from our homes. We arrived at Tempurung Cave (located at  Perak, Land Of Grace) at nine thirty in the morning.  The entrance fee for the Grand Tour was  RM 22 per adult and RM11 per child. When we arrived we took a look at the map and  it looked  something like this ........ The Grand Tour(Package 4) had four compartments and our tour took three and a half hours and we saw lots of cave formations that  we shouldn't miss but we didn't get to capture many pictures about them as our  tour guide was a bit too fast.  First, we are told to walk on the platform and stairs  to explore the cave's first compartment. This compartment is filled with l...
