Collecting Stamps and Collecting Domains

I have been collecting stamps for sometime and now I have just collected my first piece of internet real estate by owning my very own domain name. It can be found here at Singapore Stock Screener.

Guess that could be my new hobby on top of collecting stamps!

Started Soaking Lots of Stamps

After receiving the Miniature World update from the post office which depicts all the lovely stamps that were issued in the year of 2010, I finally got off my butt and started to soak some of the repeat stamps that I had in my possession which were taking up quite a bit of space.

The wife was angry that I used her hand towel to dry the stamps. The set of stamps were largely repeats from England Christmas series.

I am not too sure what I am going to do with them. Perhaps I will sell some of them on eBay for extra cash to buy new stamps.

Categories of Singapore Stamps

Found some interesting information from a recent brochure that I got from Singapore Post.

There are mainly 4 categories of stamps in Singapore:

1. Definitive stamps. These are stamps printed to meet Singapore's normal postal demand. New definitive stamps are usually released every 3 to 5 years.

2. Commemorative Stamps. These are stamps that celebrate significant national and international events like YOG, APEC 2009, etc.

3. Special stamps. These stamps depict subjects of general interest such as flora, fauna, culture, history and architecture.

4. Greetings Stamps. These stamps can be used on special occasions to convey joyous messages. An example will be Christmas stamps or Chinese New Year stamps.
