Date Of Issue: 10-05-2010 This stamp issuance features several fireflies species found in Malaysia. The most unique genus in Malaysia, that is the congregating fireflies, Pteroptyx spp., is featured in the 30sen stamp and RM5 Miniature Sheet.

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.

A Letter from my Blogger Friend

08 December 2009I was so surprised when I received a letter with a Christmas card from my Blogger friend, Sis Grub. There was a little Santa sticker behind the envelope. It is so cute. It looked like it danced a little jig. She gave me a collection of stamps from foreign countries. Nowaday, I believe that stamps are very rare and limited and still she gave me her stamps...I feel so touched :D

Year 2009 is the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of th e Child (CRC). This legally binding treaty calls on all citizens of the world, from its leaders to each one of us; women, men, gilrs and boys, to live up to our duties to ensure every child survives and thrives, free of hunger, want, neglect and abuse. The CRC demands from every one of us, as part of a caring society, to place children at the heart of human development. Not only because this offers a strong returnon our investment; nor because the vulnerability of childhood calls upon our compassion; but rather because that is every child's right.
