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 !!!

Here are some of my useful tips on how I separate the stamps from the envelop  1. Cut out the area of the envelop surrounding the stamp 2. Soak the stamp in warm water for 4 to 5 hours 3. Slowly peel off the stamp from its corner separating the stamp and the little piece of envelop left behind. 4. Dry the stamp 5. Placed them in the stamp book Happy collecting !!!
