Good Stuff 9: Global Cooling – Rooftop Planting

Most of the world realizes the ‘Global Warming’, so how to make our Earth healthier again?

I took this photo with my handphone when I was my way to do some shopping with my family, amazingly I saw some trees growing out from the rooftop (these are papaya trees). That relates me to a TV documentary show from Japan, saying Japan is recommending buildings’ rooftop be planted with at least 30% area of plants. The documentary showed some statistics on the rooftop plantings are cooling the buildings down without air-conditioning and even the surroundings. The temperature showed a decrease of 2°C - 3°C.

Wow! People in my hometown can figured out these and are doing some ‘Global Cooling’, I am proud of my hometown. Further, I think these are every human beings’ duty to do something good to our Earth right now.

Good Stuff 8 : First Day Cover (Collectables, Antique)

I used to have the hobby of collecting First Day Covers and stamps when I was a kid. It was kinda fun when asking parents to buy me few sets of First Day Cover, they never say no..haha.

I moved to a new place recently, surprisingly I found all my First Day cover collection folders when I was packing my things. I have a few flips of the folders and realize that most of the First Day Covers are more than 10 years old! Wow! Above is a video captured of one of my First Day cover.

Talking about First Day Covers as collectables and antiques, maybe one day it will be come a treasure. So, what is First Day Cover anyway?

According Wiki, “The first day of issue is the day on which a postage stamp, postal card or stamped envelope is put on sale, within the country or territory of the stamp-issuing authority. Sometimes the issue is made from a temporary or permanent foreign or overseas office. There will usually be a first day of issue postmark, frequently a pictorial cancellation, indicating the city and date where the item was first issued, and "first day of issue" is often used to refer to this postmark. A first day cover (FDC) is an envelope where the postage stamps have been cancelled on their first day of issue. Depending on the policy of the nation issuing the stamp, official first day postmarks may sometimes be applied to covers weeks or months after the date indicated.” Quoted.
