Clarke Quay - a place to usher the new year 2010!

It is eve of the new year 2010. Clarke quay as usual will be a popular spot for the locals and the foreigns to gather to celebrate the new year. Drink and dance to the music till the early dawn ... Cheers to everybody and a Happy NEW YEAR.

It is time to celebrate after a year's of hardwork

Yes, it is countdown time to 2010 and it it the time to celebrate a year's of hardwork you had in the creation of Maximum Cards. Well NOT too bad, quite many subjects of the Singapore Stamps issued in 2009 could be made into Maximum Cards. Really, it was fun in the hunting for relevant postcards to match the stamps for MCs, full of excitement and enjoyment. Hopefully, it will be another fruitful year for 2010. Happy New Year to All.

2009 Malaysia MCs on "China Maximaphily" Journal issue No.4/2009

2009 is coming to an end, Yes, it is a fruitful year for me in terms of realisation of MCs, quite many stamps could be used on MCs. I have compiled the MCs and published them in the "China Maximaphiliy" Journal Vol.4/2009 which was just released in Nanjing, China. The joy of Maximaphily is able to share the beauty of the MCs with others. Yes, looking forward to 2010 to realise more MCs.

Prominent Changi Airport Tower

Again , Singpost came out with Singapore Skylines postage stamps !

Singapore Skylines had been a frequent theme appearing on Singapore commemorative stamps. The commemorative stamps for the APEC convention held in Singapore, again, adopted Singapore Skylines as a theme on the postage stamps. Yes, Singapore Skylines change as time, I am sure the 2009 Skylines is different to the skylines of the years before. Hence, Singapore Skylines can continue to appear on Singapore stamps as the Skylines change with time. Let's speculate the theme will appear again on stamps in the future.

This Maximum Card was cancelled on the first day of issue i.e 28th October,2009.

Place of Cancel : Harbour City Post Office

The Harbour city Post Office denoted by No 23 on the cancellation is deemed to be the nearest post office located nearest to the Merlion, as there is no post office situated on shore of the Sentosa Island.

Sentosa Island Merlion

There are significant differences between the City Merlion and the Sentosa Island Merlion. Do you agree that the Sentosa Island Merlion has a fierce looking face ?

圣淘沙鱼尾狮与市区内的那一座鱼尾狮有着明显的不同. 最显著的或许是圣淘沙鱼尾狮有个凶煞的样子吧.

"Niu" Year Recalls 重温牛年

重温2009牛年极限片的制作，这一枚片所采用的戳非首日纪念戳，而是邮票博物馆的牛年年初一的纪念戳，意义非凡。
Will like to recall the realisation of the "niu"year (year of the bull) MC, the above is a MC created on the first day of the Lunar new year which is a special cancel provided by the Singapore Philatelic Museum.

Flying in Pairs 双宿双飞

这是一枚香港国泰航空班机上向空服员讨到的明信片 。。。 片上的鸟固然与票上的鸟不同类 。。。然而主题却贴切 - 双宿双飞，因此毅然制作了极限片。

This postcard was acquired through the air hostess on board the Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong. I found the birds flying in pairs on the postcard are quite matching to the theme of the birds flying on pairs on the stamp, although the birds may NOT be of the same species .. I still feel that theme is matching, hence, I realise the above MC.
