2024 May:

Currently on hiatus from swapping! I still check my inbox here sometimes though :)

2023 July:

I'm mostly only joining group swaps at the moment. While the mail service is getting better, depending on which country/state I'm sending to it does sometimes take a lot longer to arrive (about 8+ weeks in some cases, especially to parts of Europe), so if you think you should have received a card from me but haven't, do contact me with me!

I do check on my older swaps around the end of every month, and automatically resend the ones I think should have arrived.

Also, thank you to everyone for the ratings, I do apologise for not replying to you individually! (I simply do not have the time T_T)

I'm a bookseller from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Currently I'm a Children's/YA and Comics buyer for the store I work at.

I'm aro/ace, enby (they/them), and autistic.

I love stationery, journaling, writing/making zines, postcarding, and reading. I don't craft, though!

I have two cats, Ollie (a calico) and Enjin (all black) - both are rescue cats.

I keep seeing these A-Z lists on other profiles and thought it would be fun to do! I guess I see this more of a "get to know me" thing rather than a wishlist or anything like that, though :)

• PLEASE remember to indicate which swap your card/package is from.

• If you think your swap should have reached me and I haven't rated you yet, please contact me.

• I try to send my swaps as early as possible, as mail takes longer to reach the US/Europe. If you think you should have received a swap from me but have not, please contact me and I will resend.

• I always contact my swap partners before rating a 1, and would appreciate it if my swap partners do the same for me :)

I like most postcards, but I especially like cards related to art, books, comics, cats, or any of my interests. Touristy cards are nice, too!

While I generally love anything related to children's books, please do NOT send me anything Harry Potter/JKR related.

I prefer store-bought postcards to handmade or ad postcards (although I do appreciate well-made handmade cards and interesting ad cards, so send away!), and I prefer naked postcards to those in envelopes.
