Hi!~

This is Aisha from Malaysia :) I love sending and getting mail from every part of the world! I've been doing this since I was 13 years old though at first, I started only within Malaysia. Then, I discover Interpals, later Postcrossing + PostcardUnited and now Swap-bot ;)

Well, here are some random facts about me: I LIKE 😍~ internet (NOT like, it is sort of an OBSESSION!), long letters or messages 💌 (send me one & you'll make my day ;)), milk chocolate🍫, desserts 🍨🍰, Italian cuisine 🍕 🍝, cute stuffs, handicrafts 🎨 , stamps, postcards, stickers, magnet, letter set, stationery, jewellery, new books, nature, rainbow 🌈, flowers 🌺🌷, fruits 🍇🍓, cheese, gift shops, present 🎁, book stores, languages, pleasant smile 😊😏, surprise (in a good way), smileys & emoticons (sometimes I feel like I'm using it rather excessively :P)

Hoping to shower my mailbox 📫 with lots of positive mail 📩 to brighten and colour my rather dull life ^_^

For written cards, please write more than a few short sentences. I don't know why I keep getting partners that only write 1-2 sentences and call it done >.< Such a waste of the card when you leave so many blank space. If you plan to do that, I would much prefer it to be blank

• Please use interesting envelope or decorate it with something like stickers, doodle or washi tape. It's rather sad to get a plain white envelope (sometimes with even boring stamp or label T_T). BUT, if you use many pretty stamps on the envie that you feel I should add to my stamps' collection, then no need to decorate the envelope ;)

My ultimate favourite is yellow!

The next on the line are blue and purple.

I also like pastel colour or rainbow since they look lovely and colourful :)

If you have any problem regarding the mail that I sent to you, please let me know before you rate me. I can re-send if necessary. But, please allow at least a month to wait for the mail arrival because it might take a while for the items to reach you.

When I mark sent, it means the mail is already in the mailbox. I can't control when it will be collected or get the postmark or how long it will travel to you. Mail sometimes can be missent to another country, lost or stolen.. So, please take that into consideration and don't just jump into conclusion.

I am always patient with mails coming from my partners, so may I request the same from you? I have no intention of being a flaker and I always do my best in every swap. Thanks for your understanding and for those who still don't understand, oh well, life goes on..

These are the list of swaps that I have been flaked on. Some has been or in the process of getting an angel packages:

6. Happy Mail NEWBIE FRIENDLY Edited 11.27.14 flaked on by Beatriz Biolchini or @PandaMail who deleted her profile after she marked this swap as sent

Waiting for rating from:

1. @misskinsxo for A letter and a flat surprise #1
2. @lavendarcat for When I'm angry... #2
3. @blackveildreamer for City at Night 3PC
4. @julztink for Postcard Pen Pal in 2015
5. @MandyNerd for NEW YEAR NEW PEN PALS #1
6. @LibrarianBelle for newbie welcome January

I don't think I will ever get any rating from these partners as they are (almost all) now partially suspended. Feels like my efforts are wasted on them :(

I just thought to add this section after I encounter something unpleasant today..

1. No animal hairs especially dog please! I just check a swap that I've gotten before and upon close inspection, I discover many hairs that I see attach to the content of the box are actually not human hair. When I read the sender's profile and found out that she has 2 dogs, I almost throw the entire things into garbage bin. No, I don't hate dog. But, if I touch anything related to dog (or pig), I have to do samak cleansing.

2. No things with bad or smoke smell. I haven't got anything like it but saw many people put this in their profile.

3. No alcohol content or with animal origin (eg: gelatin, lecithin etc) in drink or food. If I can't read the ingredients, I will pass the food to my non-Muslim friends just to be save.

4. No dark, gory, horror, reptiles or anything scary.

5. No old, dirty, torn or anything you wouldn't like to receive. Please use common sense and send things that make the receiver happy ;)
