Stamps

I used to be a stamp collector when I was 5. My grandfather who's an avid stamp collector has all sorts of stamps either from Singapore and overseas. He likes to collect old stamps and I can still remember he shows me his collections. Now, my collection of stamps is find inside the box in a store at my grandad's home..hehe.

I still find stamps an interesting hobby. There's so much we can tell and see from its design. There's even a bisect stamp, whereby the Postmaster have to cut the stamp diagonally to increase the quantity of the stamps during the shortage period in 1855-1860. I love anything on historical and nostalgic significance!
