Chrysti has a generous heart and has recently involved in the 29 Days of Giving project. Check it out at this to find out more!

Here's a meaningful sentence I picked up from her website & like to share here with you:

No deed is too small. No life is worthless. All that we touch, becomes a part of us.

Everyone calls me Josephine but at times Joe or Josie. I'm in my mid 30s but still obsessed with kawaii stuffs which my dear siblings simply dont understand my fetish!

Well, there's my dearest boyfriend...he is a little more supportive of my craziness...ahem..ahem...as I'm now stocking in his home too! He helps with my collection of mails but just nod whenever I show him my packages. I guess he is struggling to understand me too.

Besides my obssesions on kawaii stuffs, I enjoy traveling, snapping pictures and crafting (mostly ATCs at the moment).

I'm always with my digital camera and my mobile phone. I can go without lipstick or perfume but not my camie and phonie! Strange, huh? I dont do sports and the only form of exercise I do is shopping! My family thinks my wallet gets thinner faster than my body (which I secretly agree)

I love both my niece very much! Celine (8 years old) and Jean (6 years old) can be pretty naughty at times but they are certainly very adorable....They love to post for the camera (obviously!) and enjoys surprises! If you could just add a little something for them, I'll be overjoyed :) Anything 8 & 6 year old girly girl likes would do :)

I'm aghast with the recent rampant flakers on swapbot. However, there's more great swappers here in swapbot over shadowing them! I do not wish to highlight them like I use to becouse they are not worth any space in my profile.

Been testing my skills on ATCs and some fabric craft lately! I cant seems to stay interested on certain hobbies long enough to master them. Not sure why. So, I've tried beadings, cross-stitch, painting, matchboxes, origami & etc. I bought lots of novels and magazines but rarely read. Just do occasional flipping.

I can associate with the idiot box the whole day while lying in bed. Hates doing house chore and always leave them to my bf (Gosh...I think I start to sound like a very awful & lazy person).

Anyways, I do some cooking and I'm only good with Chinese dishes. However, I rather eat out as I love variety. I dont eat the same food twice in a day. I'm not picky but just spoiled with choices. In Malaysia we have Asian, Western, Italian, Middle East food & etc.

I usually spent most of my time internet browsing besides shopping.

Sometimes I tend to day dream....

Feel zonked now & then...

I love to do shopping alone or with my sis. I usually go during weekends but prefer weekdays due to the crowd.

I love going to the cinema to catch a movie - I'm a movie buff. I secretly enjoy going alone...or with my family! My bf prefers to rent/buy DVDs and watched them at home which I'm ok with.

I welcome sea side breeze but loathe the heat. I wish there's 4 seasons in Malaysia as I really love spring and autumn.

Well, enough about me for now. Please dont judge me as I wont you. I just enjoy being me and the fact I found swapbot. A wonderful place to meet great people and I'm very happy and proud to be part of this family.

I always sent my items. Since I lived almost the other end of the world, please be patient. I'll definately send my swaps and let me know if it dosen't reach you 2-3 weeks after the due date. Please check my Flicker photos daily bcos I'll post all my swaps (send & received) everyday (mostly) except weekends.

Everyone please be patient and message me before rating. At least allow me to re-send if it is really lost in transit. Since I register most of the outgoing packages, message me for the receipt number to track it down.

Here are few pointers for sending mails to Malaysia or to me for this matter:

• Try not to decorate the envie/package. Keep it as simple as possible - avoid fancy deco tapes or stickers. I'll be sending out mine simple too.

• If sending food items, do not state in the custom forms as food, chocolates, sweets or candies. Just declare other items within. I'll be doing the same as Malaysian PO dont allow food items in the mail :(

• Please put my contact number when you mail packages to me bcos the PO will be able to contact me if it reaches Msian shore. Kindly pm me for my contact number. Thanks!

• I know sending registered mail will be costly but I will request it registered if I'm in a private swap with you. All my out going mail/packages are registered. If you are super sweet to send me registered in a public swap, please let me know. I'll provide you my office address instead (applies to private swappers too).

• To reduce waste & to safe the environment, please use recycled envies when sending me as I recycle mine too. I prefer no gift wrapping or any fancy packaging. Not that I dont appreciate the extra effort but its not neccessary - as Drachenfrau says: Another way to protect the environment!

• Another wonderful note from Drachenfrau : If you don't like/or can't use something I've sent, you can reswap it. I too will give things away, that I can't use.

Meanwhile, I hope all senders use actual postage stamps cos I loved collecting them! Thanks! Happy swapping!

I welcome private swaps on coins, postcards, kawaii stuffs, tshirts & other souvenir items from my country
