Hi helloooo..... This is the postcard that I've told before. A greeting from Taipei-Taiwan!!!! this is from my new friend from postcrossing named Chuanyu. She didn't told herself in this card so I just know her bio when I registered this postcard. Hoho
I really like this such a cute card and cute stamp. It's really me. Wkwkwk.... Four frogs with soft colours. Lalalala... Make me feel to jump and jump again. hihihihi.
Anyway, thank you Mrs. Chuanyu :).
Hello everybody... :D long time no see.. Hehehe. This time, I'm gonna tell you about my thinking and experience about snail mail and postcard.
Okay.... Firstly... I used to sent a letter when I was in elementary. Waktu itu lagi demam world cup nggak tau tahun berapa, lupa gue. Hehehe. My father showed me that there was a competition about sending a letter to a star of football. Okay, at that time and untill now, I don't have any concern about football, I more interest in foodball wkwkwkwk. So my father just suggested me to write a letter for Rio Del Piero. I saw his profile and I wrote a letter. Hopefully that I could win that competition and my letter would be sent to the real Del Piero. After that, there was no information about my letter. I concluded that I was not the winner. Hahaha. Then, I looked for an address at INO magazine for having penpal but unfortunately I didn't start anything for that plan.
Yeaahhh... That's mean that I have no experience about penpalling at previous. LOL xp
Kemudian... Ketika sekarang gue udah kuliah, adek gue bernama Ami telah mengejutkan gue kalo dia telah menemukan penpal dari korea dan udah kirim-kiriman surat. Oke. Awalnya gue nggak tertarik tapi pas dia ngeliatin tu surat mungil ber amplop coklat dan ada stempel korea nya, gue langsung shout, "Woooow amazing!!!". Bahkan dia udah video call an sama temen korea nya itu yang dia temuin di web. OMG! pingiiiin~ secara, dalam sejarah persuratan gue belum pernah gitu kan... Wkwkwk.
Pernah waktu itu, waktu SD, gue liat-liat koleksi prangko bokap, dan dari situ gue tertarik banget tp ya itu... Belum terlaksanakan. LOL
Singkat cerita, gue ikutan buat akun di website itu... Hipenpal .
Next, I really did it. I found new friends almost all around the world. Wehehehe. It's hiperbola. I met with korean, singaporean, japanese, vietnam people, thai people, indian, canadian, australian, turkish... Even orang indonesia sendiri pernah gue coba chat. Wkwkwkwk
Honestly, eventhough I chat with all, but I just became close with some of them. And, whenever I felt comfort and enjoy, I thought it would be fun to exchange letter with her/him, I started.
But, yeahhhh snail is snail. Lelet banget. We need more time and be patient of waiting. We would never know(if it's can't be tracked) where it was and when it would arrive to it's destination address. Long... Long.... So I prayed, "Ya Allah sampaikanlah suratku padanya" and added by, "Ya Allah sampaikanlah dengan selamat dan cepat" aaaamiiiiin.
Dan akhirnya stelah 13 hari nyampe juga ke Jepang. Namanya Ryosuke. Tapi gatau kok surat balesannya belum nyampe hiks gue jadi berpikir dibales nggak ya... "Ya Allah please sampaikanlah padaku"...... Ryosuke, kemanakah gerangan surat dikau... Apakah ada yg salah dgn pendiatribusian di sini atau gimana inihhhh.... Sabar sabar.... INNALLAHAMA'ASSOBIRIIN.... Huffff hufff... Itu gambar ketiga surat gue yg udah nyampe. Hehehe...
Next, setelah dari situ gue nyari-nyari tarif prangko di internet, setelah gue googling, gue nemu sebuah blog seru. Blog punya mbak Nanien... Hehehe. Salam^^. Itu poto kedua gambar blog nya. gue seneng banget sama kata-kata di bawah judul, silakan baca sendiri. Wkwkwk. Ketika email dan sms kalah pamor.
Bener banget. Gue setuju. MANTABHH dah!!! Yahhhh meskipun gue masih sangat newbie tapi gue bisa membayangkan gimana serunya melakukan postcrossing . Gue jadi ikut-ikutan buat akun. Wkwk.
Penasaraaaannn??? Jadi gini, kita buat akun di postcrossing , trus kita isi biodata profile alamat segalamacem, yang penting baca F.A.Q nya deh, ketentuan-ketentuannya itu, lantas selanjutnya kalo kartu pos kita udah siap, kita minta alamat yang di random sama site nya, lalu kita kirim maksimal 5 kartu post kita.
Dan yang sangat menyebalkannya di lampung sendiri susah banget buat ngedapetin kartu pos lucu. Adanya kartu pos yg seribuan dapet 4 trus kertas nya menye-menye lagi, gambar nya seuprit. Haihhhsss sudah lah mending saya buat sendiri kartu pos nya. Tp bagaimanaaaaa? Ya gimana lagi kalo nggak ngeprint. Terpaksa.
Singkat cerita gue udah mengirimkan 5 kartu pos gue dan 24 hari kemudian satu kartu pos nyampe ke Netherland, gue seneeeeengggg bangetttt. Tapi sedihnya ke empat kartu pos gue belum nyampe ke tujuan sampe hari ke 41 ini hiksssss :'(. kemana gerangan duhai kartu-kartu pos kuuuu. Itu gmbar ke tiga adalah kartu-kartu pos buatan gue. Agak keliatan kurang modal sih tp daripada pake yg serebuan empat ya kaaan? Coba deh tanya aja sama petugas pos kartu pos apa yg paling banter ada di kantor pos.
Kayaknya banyak deh generasi kita yg pinter potografi, lukis, dll. Coba kalo di buatin jd kartu pos pasti per-kartu-pos-an indonesia tidak terlalu lumpuh(dehhhh bahasa gue).
Kemudian daripada itu... Gue lanjut ngirim surat ke temen gue yg di Turki. Zara namanya. Stttttt.... Gue selipin 2 sachet sambel terasi abjad di dalemnya. Hahahaha ampuuuun dah. Gue pingin dia nyoba sambel khas indonesia. Tapi setelah gue pikir lagi, itu surat bau terasi ngga yaaaa koplaakkk!!!! ah biarlah yg penting suratnya udh nyampe sejak tgl 19 maret lalu. Hmmmmm alhamdulillah. Katanya sih dia mau bales surat gueee.... Semogaaaaa.
Nah dari sini gue pikir, stop ngirim-ngirim dulu. Tunggu dulu surat yang masuk ke alamat gue. Tapi sedihnya belum ada hiks. Gue update di twitter, "I love snail mail and postcard. But I have not get them back yet yet yeettttt" dan ternyata dibaca oleh oleh temen gue dari Korea. Bae Yu Jin namanya. Orangnya emang beneran baek dan antusias banget kalo dia ngajarin gue bahasanya. Antusias juga kalo gue minta lagu-lagu, beuh, gue minta satu dia cariin 9 lagu. Mana ber MB-MB lg sampe memori gw ga muat. Wkwkwk next! dia baca twit gue dan dia bilang mau ngirimin gw surat. OMG!!! Happy banget dong gue sampe jumping jumping gitu di kelas. Wkwkwkwk. Katanya sekalian jd kado ultah gw jd dia kirim tgl 7 maret kemaren kalo ga salah. Tapi sedihnya tu surat belum nyampe juga. Dia pikir bakal seminggu doang tp ternyata hampir 3 mgg blm nyampe jg. Sabar sabar. Memang benar-benar snail. Ya Allah pleaseeee antarkan lah package itu padakuuuuu segera...
Trus terakhir ada juga yg mau ngirimin gue surat. Dia dr Jepang juga. Namanya Nono. Dia chat gw pertama kali. Dr pertama dia chat gue pikir asik juga jadi kami memutuskan untuk tukar alamat dan mulai penpalling. Tp ya itu blm nyampe. Gue mikir boro-boro... Punya Ryosuke aja gatau kemana. Ya Allah..... Hiks.
Ya sudahlah tawakal saja menunggu. Semoga nanti semua nya benar-benar sampai kemari. Amin ya Allah...
Begitulah kira-kira cerita gue. Tadinya mau b.inggriss semua tp karena berbagai keterbatasan maka beginilah jadinya cara penyampaian gue.... Hehe
Semoga menginspirasi dan tolong beri pencerahan untuk saya heuheu....
Salam sejahtera dan happy posting!!! :D
This is my really first time to recieve two postcard in the same time. Actually, I just have one sent postcard and 4 travelling cards(I don't know when it will arrive... hiks. I'm afraid it will be expired). And I'm amazed that I could get 2 postcard from U.S.A and Taiwan in the same time, in the same travelling time. I recieved and regiatered these cards at 28th march.
If you ask me how was my feeling, just look on my expression. Wkwkwk. I'm so happy :D. Exactly.
Here is the picture of postcard from Laurie in U.S.A. It's autumn view in Ohio. Beautifully added by two goose(I'm confused about differ they're goose or duck. Hahaha LOL) on a really nice lake.
thank you so much Laurie!!! :D
