The King of All Hobbies - Revived!



The King of All Hobbies - Stamp Collecting Revived!
Here's a short introduction on the revival of this little hobby of mine.

We are renovating the office so i had to pack and wrap my space.  While doing a little filing of unsorted documents, a sandwich zip bag of stamps fell.

Oh!  My stamps!

I never noticed that i have already collected a lot from our office mails.  I usually cut the stamps out of the mails that we received from our clients and suppliers.  After cutting them, i just threw them in into the zip bag. Boy i got this much already?!





I knocked me off.  I collected a decent quantity of stamps some 10 years ago.  And i realized i am still on this hobby - the Hobby of the Kings!

Yes, i collected stamps 10 years ago.   I actually aimed to collect stamps from ALL the COUNTRIES of the World!

A few friends and colleagues laughed at me when they that i was into Philately.  They always say that we are now in the age of Computers.  Nobody needs stamps or snail mail anymore.   Emails, phone texts, voip, chat are a lot faster than mails when it comes to communication.

Well, i say, that's even a better challenge!

Would i be able to collect stamps in the age of computers?
We'll see about that...
