📮 Outgoing : 230720 ✉

Visited the post office to drop off these beauties. Letters are ready to make their way to Helena in Australia 🇦🇺, Corina in Germany 🇩🇪 and Brandi in USA 🇺🇲. Hope they'll like the letters I've written.

This week has been dull so far as I haven't received any mail and I have only one letter left to reply. On a brighter note, I accepted one more European penpal recently. Finally got myself an Estonian penpal 💖 I've been curious about Estonia since I saw a travel show about the country. I look forward to this new friendship.

Guess who’s back!

This blog has been dead for a year already. I wasn’t active as I decided to use less of social media and focused more on my well-being. Not long after my last post, I was institutionalized and had to work my way back into recovery. I was lucky to have the support of my mum, my soul sister, my colleagues and especially my penpals. My penpals have never failed to check on me, write to me, sent me care packages, just to ensure I feel loved and never alone. I wrote a lot of letters too. With social media, almost always I chose to show what I want people to see but with letters, I can be vulnerable and share my deepest thoughts with people who truly care enough to stay in my life, no matter how ugly life may be.

Now that I am feeling better, I decided to revive this blog. With the situation with CoVid-19, I am spending a lot of time at home and writing again.

I also moved to a new place last month so if anyone needs my updated address, please shoot me a PM!

Recently, I took up a few more new penpals to write to and restarted writing with an old pal. So, I made these envelopes while I patiently wait for their letters to arrive. 

Stay safe, everyone!

Birthday Wish

I have close to 700 followers here on Tumblr. I can’t thank you enough for your support. But I need help from each and every one of you, if it’s possible!

I will be turning 31 on the 17th of December. My wish this year is very simple and I hope it isn’t too much to ask for.

I would love to receive as many postcards as possible before the 17th. The only catch is: It must be a view card of your city / country. No illustrations or whatsoever. So you are free to pick for me! Please include your name, country and Tumblr name. Please also help me to reblog this so more people can participate!

The best 10 cards will receive a card from me, either from Singapore or New Zealand (yes, I’ll be going there soon) of either one of the following nature: FOTW, GF or view cards. Mail it to: Nur Fariza Apt. Block 322, 03-289 Sembawang Close 750322 Singapore

Let’s go! Love, f.
