My Other Interest

Apart from stamp/packet collecting, I am also into photographing/studying dragonflies and damselflies. The dragonflies and damselflies are known as Odonata in scientific term. In Malaysia, dragonflies and damselflies are called pepatung and pepatung jarum respectively. They also come in various local names, such as Puting Beliung or Ttuyuh (in Kelantan and Terengganu), Cakcibor (in Perak), Sesibu and Sibu-sibu or Sibur (in Pahang/Johor). More than 420 species are known to occur in Malaysia with Peninsular Malaysia containing more than 240 species. I have a blog showing many photos of dragonflies and damselflies. The link of the blog is shown below. Feel free to visit the blog to enjoy the beauty of dragonflies and damselflies.

Visit Selangor 2025 - Fun Stuff

I created two fun items from the products of Visit Selangor 2025. One is made from Visit Selangor 2025 Guide folded leaflet and the other is made from Visit Selangor 2025 paper bag. These guide leaflet and bag paper were acquired as a gift from Visit Selangor 2025 booth during the recent MATTA Fair 2025.


I stuck a Visit Selangor 2025 stamp on one page of the folded leaflet of Visit Selangor 2025 Guide. Then I cancelled the stamp using special first day postmark of the stamp from Kajang Post Office.
