One-San is a Philatelist

Recently I've been to some museums last CNY(Chinese New Year),one of it was Singapore Philatelic Museum.








Before I started to collect old coins and paper money; my brother was ahead of me in collecting tex(postcard with animated pictures) yet the one that started it all, "The mastermind" collecting things was my very kind,friendly,outgoing onÄ“-san.(big Sister)  Ate Arlene.




Do you have any idea what is her 
Not in just coin were you can see animal icon


collecting?...  








Its Stamp
I just learn that there is such a word that defines someone who collect stamps and A study of collecting stamp. 



So I could just say:
" My sister is a philatelist"

I've also learned some language of Philately




They are: 

  • Cinderella
  • Cancellation 
  • Tied
  • Cachef
  • Invert Error
  • Imperf
  • Overprint
  • Se-tanant
          Cinderella

Cinderella is not just for cartoon




They are used as a decoration or to send special message










Tied




... Is place over the edge of the stamp and onto the envelope.







      Overprint






Any text,numerals or design element added to an existing stamp to create a new stamp




       Se-tanant




Different Designs or denomination and are joined together for the phonetic spelling






     Cancellation 
Favorite stamp of my sister.>_<



Shows that the stamp has already been used








     Invert Error



A production fault in which one part of a stamp design is printed upside down, or inverted.




    Imperf













  
                   Cachef
















For me, in the 21st century living;in an era where smart phones and instant message is taken for granted; still I would use hand letter mail."For every words I write,a part of me will be engrave on it,along with a stamp :3
