Sticky Post: Leave your blog links, please

Due to my recent file transfer to my new domain name, I have inadvertently omitted the blog links section - your blog links. With your help, I want to rebuild it again as I have only managed to salvage a few links. If your blog not in my linklist, kindly leave a message, and more importantly leave your link, in this post's comment section. In the same manner, I ask you also to change my blog link, from www.postcards-x-ing.blogspot.com to my new domain www.postcardscrossing.com.


Many thanks again.

Tell Me Thursday 001: Pearl Shoal Waterfalls


This is my first
Tell Me Thursday, featured in yesterday's Wordless Wednesday:


The full power and majesty of Pearl Shoal Waterfall of Jiuzhaigou.


Sent by Ed Liu
Postmarked 2nd March 2009
Chengdu, China

In February last year, Edward Liu contacted me via Postcrossing to request a private swap. Soon after, I received the above postcard in the middle of March. Ed is from Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, and one of the most important economic centres, transportation and communication hubs in Western China. Chengdu is well-known as the home of the giant pandas.


The postcard shows the Pearl Shoal (Zhenzhu Tan) Waterfalls and is one of the most magnificent sights in Rize Gully, Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan province. Located at an elevation of 2433 meters, the Pearl Shoal is a wide, gently sloping area over which a thin sheet of water cascades down a 20 degree gradient. The water then empties down the spectacular Pearl Shoal Waterfall, which drops 28 meter over a broad 310 meter curtain. A wooden walkway leads across the shoal and down one side to the foot of the falls.

The Pearl Shoal got its name from the sparkling effect of droplets that resemble pearls as they cascade down the shoal towards the fall. I am definitely adding this in my dream destinations list.

Save time and money with ShopWiki






Online shopping has been around for so long now and I had wanted to do so when I chanced upon excellent vintage postcards that were sold online. My friends have been doing this for a long time and they are hooked on online shopping the way I am hooked on postcards. And who wouldn't be, they asked. They get a great variety of stuffs for only half the regular price. 

Excited about my prospects, I took the plunge last December. I prowled the Net and discovered ShopWiki. It's one of the most touted online shopping sites and for a very good reason. It's one of the most comprehensive shopping comparison engines available on the net. It connects shoppers to products and stores that give the best shopping deals, as well as product comparisons and a store directory to help online shoppers make better purchasing decisions. The most impressive feature is that it allows shoppers to make product comparisons and the site can also help you find products that are difficult to find in stores or online as well.

Due to the site's popularity and a growing demand, ShopWiki, expanded its services to non-English speaking countries in Europe, such as ShopWiki France and ShopWiki Spain, so that European shoppers, too, can enjoy the ShopWiki experience. And hey, look what I found: http://www.shopwiki.com/_Barrs+Post+Card+News?o=1059161145&s=3885&

Pardon my absence...

Things were very hectic at the homefront since last year that I have found myself in semi-hibernation from the blogosphere. To those who I promised to send postcards and other stuffs, please accept my sincere apologies for not sending them yet. By the end of the holiday season, I allowed myself to be tossed and turned by the tides of procrastination, and, before I knew it... thirty-one days have already passed since we ushered 2010 and here I am still slacking off. I am, after all, only human. I know this is not a good excuse, but most of the times I find it hard to get a lot of work done when it is just so easy to wallow in idleness. 

So today I am breaking this semi-hibernation thing. I vowed to catch up with the rest of you guys, update more frequently, and most of all, resume postcard swaps =) Just a request to those who want to trade postcards directly, please don't leave your messages on the chat box. Send me email at postcardsxing-at-yahoo-dot-com. Also, to those who have long been waiting for some stuffs from me, especially Sarah R, I shall be sending it soon. Pardon the HUGE delay.

So what made me snap out of this blogging/postcard swapping funk? Let me share you this photo of my niece I found while browsing through my old blog posts. 


The look on Beebop's face is totally priceless and it is more than enough to convince me to pick up the blogging slack! *lol* Poor girl, she must have been traumatized by Peter Star(fish).


P.S. In case you haven't noticed, I now have my own domain name! *grins* Kindly change your links to www.postcardscrossing.com. Having my own domain name will motivate me more to blog regularly. But in between the transition, I have inadvertently lost my blog links and blog followers. I am so sorry. I am putting the links back, and as you can see, the list is not complete yet, so, I am asking for your help. Kindly leave your blog inks in the comment section so I could put them all back in, and, update my blog link in your list so that the blog followers list will appear again. Many thanks.
