SHERA'S BORDER

Got up early today to que for this - Special Commemorative Cover President Barack Obama’s Visit to Malaysia.  President Obama will be the first president of the United States of America to visit Malaysia in nearly half a century (44 years) after President Lyndon Johnson’s visit in 1966.  This edition is only limited to 25000 copies nationwide.  Miri was only given 30 copies.  Dad was the one who told me about this and drove me to buy it.  We went out before 7am, had breakfast and bought some vegies/meat at the market while waiting for the post office to open at 8am.  Enjoyed spending that time with Dad and I'm always touched when he drives me around to run errands.   He helped to que too and in the end we managed to get two copies ^^  I stamped my planner too :p  Isn't it lovely? hehe. 

It was my first time yesterday buying first day cover at the post office on the date of release.  Little did I know that in Miri, we were to stick and handstamp the stamps ourselves in Miri.  Should have separated the rows of stamps so the ink stamp will look nicer.  Should have done my research before going on how to stick it.  Anyways lesson learnt.  Kinda lucky though, that I manage to get the last two (yeah, it was selling fast).  Also glad that I met a new friend because I let her buy one of the sets.  Actually I was buying the last three.  And since I get to handstamp the stamps myself (the word 'stamp' here can be pretty confusing huh?) I tested it on my planner.  So yay! I got a FDC stamp in my planner ^^  Love it!
