Jon's Hobby Collections

Ever wonder how does an old living room of an old shophouse looks like ?? This is one example taken from my grandmother's old shop and everything you see here is indeed well preserved. When you enter the hall of my grandmothers shophouse, you will be greeted by this wonderful 3 in 1 painting painted in the 50s. There are many old cupboards in the shop house too. On the left is a TV stand with a cupboard at the bottom of it. In the middle, there is this wonderfully display teakwood cupboard from the 50s where most of my collections come from. On the right is another hall cupboard which is used to keep other hall items in them.  Not to forget, you will notice there is a traditional basket hanging from the celling of the hall. 

Here is a postcard done by Hope Church to promote the event Alter Ego in the year 2018. I went for the event organised by my church that time. That event is about of real life stories of people who experience Christ transformation in them.  It was really a good sharing and I wouldn't forget my friend's sharing live during that event. Overall, it was an excellent event and many lives were touched on that day. Talking about this card, the designer of the card even made things more creative too, by allowing the sender to post these cards to their friends too !!!

Here is a rare mail with old stamps attached too. It was first time I ever receive a mail where the stamps are older than me. The first stamp features a concorde plane and it was out in 1979. The middle stamp features Asean Trade Fair in the year 1980 and the last stamp on the right features 25th anniversary of Central Provident Fund Board (CPF in short),  Singapore back in 1980 also. When I first saw this mail, I felt like I travel back in time to the 80s. I am very happy for this Carousell seller who sent my red packets using old stamps. Bravo to you, LimAJ !!!

Regardless of generation, does this seem familiar to some of you out there in Singapore? Well if not, this is actually a coupon to redeem healthy points on the Healthy 365 mobile app. You gather the points and in the end, you can exchange them for food vouchers or public transport top ups. This event is valid for a season which started on June 2018 and ends in December 2018.  When you purchase any food at selected food stalls bearing the healthy choice logo, you are entitled for one ticket that represent one point under the eating category. I just found this left in my stationary box not long ago. If not, I remember correctly, it is not used at all. There is a QR code at the back of the ticket for users to scan and redeem the points. I bet some of us will take more tickets when the person is not looking in order to get more points, and I was one of them too. HEHEHE, now you know something interesting about me.
