Stratford-on-Avon

Deare Melodie,

veni, vedi, vici.

Tata,
Maxine.

Ok, that's not all I wanted to say. 
Hoping that everything is well with you at home!
I do apologise for my handwriting...
I seem to have spoilt this otherwise lovely 
postcard now, haven't I?
Til we meet again!

Dear Maxine,

hahahaha receiving your postcard almost brought tears to my eyes.
I miss having Literature class with you, Jerlynn, Ashley, Karl, Felicia, Pauline
and of course Mr Andrew :')

I still keep in touch with all of them but I do wonder when will it be,
for all of us to meet up again...

Til we meet again, please take care and keep in touch.

Regards,
Melody

Le Cinque Terre Manarola

Dear Melody <3

Happy blessed birthday! 
Missing you my ex nite-lova! :)
Soon I will be back in Malaysia
and hopefully we will then be able
to hang out together! <3 lets do that
Perhaps travel and spend more quality time 
together. <3 :) 

Love you & miss you,
Wenyi <3

Hi! I think you will totally love this place.
Wenyi and I were glad that you weren't here 
with us otherwise you surely drag us to walk
the whole coastal path of these five villages. haha
See you soon. Take care!

Dear ex nite-lova :)

thank you for the birthday wish and I look forward to seeing you
in KL soon :) I would like to travel to your hometown someday
as well. Lets discuss this further when we meet up soon.

Love,
Melody

Dear Fong,

hahahaha reading your allusion to the coastal path made me think
fondly of our trip to Pembrokeshire. That was, and still is, one of my
favourite treks I have ever made in my life thus far, and I am so glad
I did it with you :) I hope to travel again with you someday soon.

Missing you badly,
Melody

Malta

Mel Mel Mel! Hi! Literally I'm writing this postcard 
to you after I visited this giant stone. haha
It's almost two in the morning and Hi Wen Yi 
is sitting beside me now, complaining that 
I don't really know how to use her camera. haha
Pity me or not. ._.||| 
Traveling in Malta was a much better experience 
compared with Sicily, at least people here are kind to me.

Dear Fong :)

I just loved the blue of the sea in this pic :)
You really know me best.
You know the kind of picture I like on a postcard,
You know I love receiving postcards,
especially from you :)

Missing you lots here and wishing you all the best
in your upcoming exam.

Lots of love,
Melody

Barcelona

Hola <3

Hi Mel!

The photo in this postcard is Sagrada Familia 
by the famous architect, Gaudi!

It's so amazing the construction isn't even completed yet 
(he wanted the future generations to contribute towards 
building it)

He is an amazing architect, if all the houses were to 
be built by him the world will be a fairytale!

See you soon!

Ciao

Dear Jolynn,

I have been to Barcelona and I have seen the Sagrada Familia too :)
But I have to thank you for sending me this postcard, especially since
the last one did not make it. The thought counts though, and I cannot
thank you enough for sending me one from Spain :)
I look forward to seeing you in KL soon to hear more of your adventures.

Love,
Melody

New York

Dear Melody,

Sorry if the postcard arrived a little late. 
Anyways, hope you're doing good. 
Really wish you were still in the UK 
so I could come visit your place 
and we could go traveling together. 
But... we can always meet up in our 
favourite little town Cameron Highlands 
for a cup of tea! Hope to see you soon! 
Send my regards to mom and dad too.

Dear Darshini,

I was so happy to receive your postcard!
New York looks amazing in your Instagram pics!
Someday I will visit the States for myself :)
I look forward to seeing you in Cameron Highlands
soon to hear more about your adventures :)

Regards,
Melody

Amsterdam

Dear Melody,

Hi! I hope you're doing very well 
with your working life in Penang. 
All I want is you're happy :)
Oh well, as you know Amsterdam is 
indeed one of the most unique city 
in the world in the perspective of culture, 
and civilization, but they don't really have 
many amazing architecture though I think. 
Can't wait to meet you up during summer. 
Meanwhile please take good care of yourself :)

Dear Fong,

Seeing all your pictures from different parts in Europe
make me long for the time we spent together traveling
in France and in the UK.

I can't wait to listen to your stories when we meet up
when you come back to Malaysia :)

I look forward to receiving more post from you.

Thank you for taking the time to snail mail me ;)

Love,
Melody

Elephants from Krabi, Thailand

Hi Cuzzie~

This is the first time I've ever sent you a postcard
so you better keep in nicely XD
Krabi is a very nice and relaxing place,
hope we'll be able to go together someday
because you'll definitely love the sea,
beach & ang mohs there XD

All the best working in Penang;
stay healthy and happy! ^.^

Hope you'll love this postcard~(it's green btw)

Your cousin,

Oh cousin,

Receiving the postcard from you the other day made my night :)
I absolutely love the colour!!!
 But that you know already LOL XD
and the elephants :3 thank you so much

The only thing was that there was no Thailand stamp
since you didn't actually post it eh? ;)
HAHAHAHA but I shouldn't complain, thank you cuzz :3

I look forward to traveling with you in the future :)
 many adventures lie ahead of us :)

First stop : Australia!!!

Thanks again for the postcard.

Florida

Dear Melody!

Stephan and I send you the best, greatest and sunniest
(even if it is raining here) from the USA.
Stephan is studying at the Old Miss in Oxford Mississippi 
and I'm visiting him for 1 month.
Our week in Florida was great 
(you can see it in the picture) 
and we enjoyed every minute.
We really miss you and hope to see you again soon!

Your German friends Stephan and Hannah

Oh Hannah :)

It was such a lovely surprise to hear from you and Stephan so soon!
I think I remember it wasn't too long ago when we Whatsapped and you said he was going to the USA to study soon and that you will go visit him there.

I definitely remember asking you to send me a postcard when you're there and you fulfilled my request so quickly! :)
Thank you so much :')

You both are definitely one of my favourite German couples and I know you know who the other couple is XD hahahaha

Missing you all like crazy and we will meet again someday :)
That's a promise.

Love,
Melody

Northern Ireland

Like the stamps?? ><
I bet you will.
Hope your parents will keep the postcards for you!
Anyway... I bet you'll like everything I sent you.
And seriously... 
Please go to Ireland only in SUMMER.
It was just too freezing, windy and hailing!!
Can you see how stiff my hand is?

P.S.
Never ever go to Ireland in Spring.
ONLY SUMMER. ><

Hey kid :)

You're absolutely right. I loved the stamps. I've always loved collecting stamps and admiring the beautiful pictures used to represent or symbolize something of value or importance in a particular country and the stamps you sent were perfect :)

I miss the raw beauty of Nature at Giant's Causeway. I miss the waves pounding relentlessly upon the rocks, dashing against them with such power, with foam flying everywhere and the wind howling in my ears til I could hardly hear my friends call.

Pic taken by yours truly in winter 2013 

And of course you're right again. I love everything and anything to send to me because really, it's the thought that counts. And to imagine you wearing mittens in the cold, scrawling the words onto the postcard before sending it is good enough for me XD

Top is the postcard I received from her :)
Bottom is the postcard I bought for myself the first time I visited
Northern Ireland :)

The thing I can't get enough of is actually the fact that you sent me the exact same postcard I kept for myself the first time I visited Giant's Causeway :) We may not have the same taste for everything but I have to say we do click on quite a few stuff, namely certain genres of music, movies and places of interest to visit :) Lots of artsy stuff come to think of it LOL XD

I don't quite remember how many times I've said it  but thank you again for the postcards :)
Most of all, thanks for being my friend :)

Love,
Melody

Why I decided to start the CameronSnailMailTrail blog?

Why I decided to start this blog

Coming home once every few weeks and finding surprises in the mailbox is definitely one of the highlights of my coming home.

And I felt that instead of just keeping the physical postcards and letters in my personal chest of treasures, where it might (touchwood) be destroyed in a fire, go missing, be chewed to bits by nasty little rodents or whatnot; it'd be a good idea to keep a logbook of them online, so that I will always be able to access these thoughts of love anywhere around the world, anytime, provided there's internet of course ;)

So my new blog comes to life! And may it live long and prosper! ;)
