The Grand Finale: 06 December 2014 (Day 6)

Just announced: Exhibition closes at 06:00 pm.

BEWARE: Another post with quintessential Malaysian English 🙂

Warning! There is a thief prowling around stealing covers and passports while you are chopping!

Day breaks over KL. Looks downcast and will probably be wet the whole day. This does not stop die hard philatelists or stamp collectors. They would have applied for leave from their spouses or dragged their family along.

At this moment, many are making their way to Mamaks and Kopitiams or just pack something to fill their stomach before heading over to KLCC. Some are heading to the airport or driving from outstation. Even big brother China is reading the postings! Since western hosted blogs are blocked by big brother, that must be a government linked agency. Hopefully big brother will join the fun the next time we have an exhibition.

Passion drives us.

23 years is a long time if any of you still remember the last great bash we had in KL ’92! We had smaller ones but hopefully this is a re-start. Look at Bangkok and Singapore who had good international exhibitions held at closer intervals.

Today is the last day and it will be packed as everyone tries to make all the 6 days’ FDCs in a day.

Travel safe my friends. There is enough time. The event closes at 10:00 pm.
