I’m 20 years old and from Singapore! I'm studying in university right now. My hobbies are bouldering, penpalling and taking care of my dogs (i have 2 of them) who are more like my children HAHA!

I love cutesy/aesthetic/botanical/kawaii things. since I don't really have many other hobbies, I spend my time writing letters & going out to new places :)

I don’t really have a favourite colour, but I realised the colour I love working with the most is pink, & blue. They’re so soft and gentle. Additionally, reds & yellows are beautiful since they give a really strong UMPH to the piece. I'm not picky with colours, so no worries.

I LOVE stickers, & washi tape, especially if they are nature-themed, Sanrio/San-X, Disney, Studio Ghibli, Moomin, or simply aesthetic. I am not picky about the design, as long as it isn't too kiddy (excluding kawaii) and is of decent quality.

I love supporting indie/up & coming artistes at fairs by buying their merchandise or following them on social media. If you have any favourite artists and want to share them with me, please go ahead :D My top 3 favourite ones are these people on instagram: @dodolulu designs @melissa castrillon @lisajunius

I love Disney things, they make me happy and honestly I would love to go to all the Disney theme parks especially the one in Florida!

Recently, I started bouldering & it’s something that I want to get good at :D

I don’t like going out in the sun because I was raised to be kinda paranoid about sun exposure HAHA. I’ll definitely be all decked out in sun block & sun-protection materials (ie. unbrella, arm-sleeves etc) if I do need to be in the sun for an extended period of time.

I also can’t really appreciate candy and tea, so no candy & tea bags for me please :(

Although I am journalling now, I do not need any more notebooks because I have a huge ass supply at home already HAHA!! They’ve been rotting for years & I really need to make full use of them soon D:

For POSTCARDS... - I prefer “normal” postcard sizes which is basically smaller than the dimensions of 15cm x 10.5cm. This is because I keep all my postcards in an album, and the album pockets only are that big. If the postcards are bigger, I’ll have to fold the postcard and it breaks my heart.... :,( - Additionally, I also prefer quality postcards as mentioned, I keep all my postcards for memories so I would rather not store cheap-looking/advertisement postcards. I don't have the heart to throw the out.

Lastly, pls do not send any page markers, bookmarks, or paper clips because i have no use for them. Thankieww

I love collecting washi tapes, and stickers! If you want to send me some, I would highly appreciate it especially since I’m always using them to decorate envelopes & letters. When I do so, I loveee matching the decoration with the interests of my penpal! Thus having a variety of themed stationery are super important to me as well.

Chocolate labrador and/or whippet looking doggie things! It’s difficult to find dog items that are of these breeds........ :,(

I’m just starting to journal, so any beautiful scraps of papers that I’m able to use are appreciated. They can double as mail decoration materials for me too HAHA!

I’ll DEFINITELY send you the swap-bot letter by the end of the deadline. Normally I’ll take photo evidence of me posting mail, so I can send that to you too if you’d like!

Due to the pandemic worldwide there has been postal delays in almost all countries so please be understanding to know that my letters will take longer to get to you. However, if you haven’t received within 3 months, just let me know and I’d be happy to send another one!
