Birthday cards 2006 – 2008

By ilyani | Published 20 June, 2009

I have freaking turned 26 today. I don’t want to talk much about it. But being a Postcrosser, there’s always something to make me smile on my birthday!

No, it’s not the cake!! But cards!! :D Yes, the lovely Postcrossers have always cheered me up regardless I hate the fact that I get older on birthdays! :) In this post I would like to thank a heaven to everyone who spent some time writing and sending me your lovely wishes, you have no idea how much it means to me!! :) BIG BIG HUGS!!! (well yeah, I’m featuring cards from past years first, as this is officially the first birthday post for this blog – which only started this year – and in a few days I’ll be posting the cards which I have got for this year’s birthday :)). And actually, I have put several other birthday cards that had already fit in regular posts before, and they are equally special to me as well!!

OKAY that was  a postcards SPAM -______- but I can’t help it coz I did receive alot of birthday cards in past years!! (and of course, a portion of them are thanks to the fact that I put a “tiny advert” about my birthday on my forum signature once, well, hence those expected surprises :P and a few from Birthday tags and RR as well.. so I did not receive all these merely because I am a total celebrity or anything :D though it’s good if I were one lol). And still my dear friends Postcrossers, you are the best!!

PFF – Haris the Toy Voyager

By ilyani | Published 19 June, 2009

Hello! I have made a few postcards posts featuring Haris previously, but now I decided to introduce properly this little friend of mine to all my Friday Postcards friends! :)

17012009(003)-001

This is Haris. A cool kitty, can be naughty at times and likes to eat alot! No wonder he looks as if he gained weight after one month traveling to Paris last February! Well, he started his journey on behalf of imajica (who wishes so hard that she could fit an envelope to travel Europe too -___- ) and has been to Paris, Rome, Budapest recently and now is staying with Essi in Lappeenranta, Finland! He will soon probably be visiting Poland and Macedonia!

Please see Hari’s travelog on ToyVoyagers for his journey diary and loads of photos! And here’s the map showing his path (before Finland)

And what does this kitty toy have to do with Postcards, you ask? :) Now let’s take a look back at my previous postcards of Paris (and Eiffel Tower!), Budapest, Rome, and Finland all featuring Haris!! :D It’s really good to know (at least) I have some postcards with places he went to!

Happy PFF from Haris and imajica to everyone!! xx

Budapest revisited

By ilyani | Published 18 June, 2009

I have previously featured some Budapest cards, especially in the Danube river area, with the Chain Bridge and the Parliament House, but let’s make a trip again to this capital of Hungary, with some more postcards :P Why? Because Haris was there recently!

This awesome-looking building is the Great Market Hall, it’s a famous spot in Budapest! And I have actually got a card from there!

This is a really huge indoor market! I mean, it looks like the market consists of many rows of stalls inside, and these kinds of covered stalls are usually built outdoors in Malaysia, which we call Pasar Tani (dont know how it translates to English.. Agro market, maybe?). There are various of things you can find here, from fruits and vegetables, milk, meat, bread to folk embroidery and souvenirs. Garlics, peppers, and paprika are among Hungarian traditional spices. Hungarians also like plums, watermelons and apples!

Another Budapest card that I did not put previously, this is the interior of the Matthias Church. The current building was constructed in the 14th century, and was the second largest church in medieval Buda.
