To open my mailbox like someone opening a surprise box and to feel the pleasure of discovery unleashed by an envelope decorated with stamps.
To be part of the world and also to discover it this way, with the help of those who share this vision.

A postcrossing postcard that allows me to add another country to my list.

Now, the reason for the pot on the postcard might become more clear if I quote from the legend inside:

"Under a service volunteer pilot programme by NCSS (National Council of Social Service), Suntec Singapore employees join Chef Alfred Lee, Executive Chef of Suntec Singapore Coinvention & Exhibition Centre, in befriending seniors at NTUC Health SilverACE (Bukit Merah) and teaching them to prepare delicious, healthy meals."

Thanks a lot Chee!



Two stamps were used on the postcard



The stamps on the left with a face value of 50 cents is part of a ten stamp set of "greetings" stamp issued on 25MAR2013, while the  stamp on the right, meant for 1st class domestic mail, illustrated with an image of a ranchu goldfish, is part of a set of 9 definitives issued in souvenir sheet form on 11JUN2021.
