【 Fun making Maximum Cards @ 2010 Bangkok Philatelic Exhibition】 【 2010 曼谷邮展制极限片乐】


【 Fun making Maximum Cards @ 2010 Bangkok Philatelic Exhibition】
【 2010 曼谷邮展制极限片乐】

There were varieties of stamps and postcards available at the Queen Sirikit exhibition centre during the 2010 Bangkok philatelic exhibition. I was amazed by the thematic stamps issued by the Thaipost, many with single stamp in a set. They are simply ideal for realisation of maximum cards. Share here a Maximum Card I realised at the exhibition centre, both stamp and the postcard were bought in Bangkok.

泰国邮政发行许多漂亮的专题邮票,这些邮票都很适合制作极限片。难得在2010年曼谷邮展厅找到许多制作极限片的邮品和明信片。我喜欢泰邮发行的单枚邮票,用来制作极限片丝毫不浪费。2010年曼谷邮展让我制作了些许的极限片,其中一枚如下图。共赏。

【2002年首尔世界邮展体验制作韩国极限片】

It was just after the 2002 World Cup, I visited Philakorea 2002 world philatelic exhibition. Korea Post issued a set of football stamps to commemorate the National team which won 4th place in the World Cup.  There were many postcards depicting the National football players available at the exhibition venue, I could easily realised the whole set of the football stamps on maximum cards.  Postcards were readily available at tourist district, I was able to purchase other post cards that matched Korean postage stamps and had a wonderful time realising several interesting MCs. Share here a maximum card I realised @ Philakorea 2002.

到韩国首尔参观2002世界邮票展览,是世界杯刚刚落幕的时候。韩国邮政趁热潮发行了一套国家足球队的邮票。展览厅有许多的明信片出售,当中就有一些是足球员肖像的,很适合我用来制作极限片,当然没有错失机会制作了一套富纪念的韩国足球极限片。首尔旅游区也有美丽的明信片出售,我也购买了一些,配合当时邮政的邮票,制成了极限片。以下贴一枚在2002年展览厅制作的极限片。共赏。

【2011 日本横滨世界邮展 :制极限片乐】

Attended the 2011 Yokohama Philatelic Exhibition, enjoyed creating maximum cards with the Japanese stamps and postcards bought from the neaby shopping centres. The postal officers making cancellation on philatelic items were experience and skillful. Very neat and nice cancels produced on all the Maximum Cards I did. How I wish the Malaysian Postal personnels can do the same. Share a maximum card I realised in 2011 @ Yokohama, Japan.

2011 年出席日本横滨世界邮展,在会场我制作了无数的日本极限片。会场购买邮票,附近的商场找明信片,发现可制作的极限片还蛮多的。日本邮局人员服务佳,个个都是销戳高手,一锤定戳,完美!真希望我国的邮政人员服务态度能和日本人一样。分享一枚我在横滨制作的极限片。

【Orang Asli Blowpipe maximum card 马来西亚原住民吹筒极限片】

【Orang Asli Blowpipe maximum card 马来西亚原住民吹筒极限片】

I came to know about the NGO organisation of COAC (Centre for Orang Asli Concerns) and POASM (Persatuan Orang Asli Semanjung Malaysia) when I was searching for the relevant postcards to realise the maximum cards for an ORANG ASLI stamp issue in the year 2010. I knew there was an Orang Asli museum in Gombak, Kuala Lumpur , so I made a trip to the museum to learn more about the Orang Asli Community and at the same time to look for Orang Asli Postcards. I was introduced by the museum official about Dr. Colin Nicholas, an anthropologist dedicated to the research and preservation of the identity, culture and future of Orang Asli- the oldest inhabitant in Malaysia. Got hold of a telephone contact, I met Dr. Nicholas Colin personally, was amazed by his enthusiasm on Orang Asli matters. His home - a 2 storey link house , is decorated with original orang asli native features. His house and the study room is packed with volumes of published books and researched articles on Malaysia Orang Asli matters. Many stories were told on how he assisted in protecting the orang asli settlements from destruction and intrusion of lands by project developments. During the conversion he told he had just returned from Kelantan on the morning itself, after having solved an issue of an Orang Asli Chapel being threatened to be torn down. This was a fruitful trip indeed, I got hold of what I wanted – the set of precious original postcards printed by the organisation. I realised these postcards into maximum cards, with a pictorial postmark @ Jerantut, Pahang. Sharing with all a maximum card of an orang asli with his traditional hunting weapon – Blowpipe.

第一次接触到两个非政府组织 COAC (马来西亚原住民关怀中心)和 POASM (马来西亚半岛原住民协会)是因为我当时正在寻找适合的明信片配合2010年邮政即将发行的原住民邮票,制作极限片。我得知吉隆坡鹅唛有个原住民博物馆,特地驱车去参观,寻找一些有关原住民的资料,也想在馆里买到有关原住民的明信片。 博物馆负责人介绍了我一位博学,钻研马来西亚原住民事物的尼各劳斯先生。我有幸与尼各劳斯博士会面,在其原住民饰物装潢的住家里,我们闲聊。对于博士如此醉心原住民事物工作,感觉赞叹!其办公室布满多册有关原住民的书籍,许多的都出自其手笔,真是不简单!博士道出心声,许多原住民的家在发展的洪流下而被逼搬迁,他在这一方面都在努力协助避免原住民的家园被破坏。谈话中尼各劳斯透露他清晨刚从吉兰丹回来,在那里力阻原住民教会被威胁拆除的命运。这是一次难忘的会面,我也从博士那儿得到我所要的战利品 – 原汁原味的原住民明信片。我把明信片制成了极限片,盖销的邮戳是彭亨州的而连突。其中一枚极限片是原住民的捕猎器具 – 吹筒。共赏。

【 International Philatelic Exhibition venue is always an ideal ground for realisation of Maximum Cards - Bangkok 2010】
【邮展期间是个制作极限片的良机 - 曼谷世界邮展 2010 】

I find international exhibition venues are ideal grounds for making Maximum Cards.
I was visiting Bangkok 2010, and found many lose stamps were sold at the exhibition booths at cheap price. Several booths were selling cheap postcards too. I did NOT have to pay to buy up the full set of stamps for making individual Maximum cards. Had the wonderful time in realising a couple of beautiful Maximum Cards. Share one Maximum Card I realised at Bangkok - the Green Peacock.

去过很多邮展,觉得是个好时机制作国外的极限片。2010 年到曼谷世界邮展参观,喜见会场有许多摊位在售卖零散的专题邮票,价钱廉宜。也有多间售卖明信片的摊位,发现明信片主题都和邮票吻合,非常适合制作极限 片。因此乘此机会制作了一些极限片留存。分享一枚曼谷制作的极限片 - 绿孔雀。共赏。

【What is hiding behind the time frame? Enemy? 里头藏着什么?敌人?】

【What is hiding behind the time frame? Enemy? 里头藏着什么?敌人?】

This is an advertisement postcard for which I had turned into a maximum card of the relevant theme - Military Soldiers.  I had pasted the stamp over an object in the "Time Frame"( the advertising subject) and cancelled with a FDI Pictorial cachet to produce a concordant Maximum card.   The maximum card gives an impression that the soldiers were looking for possible enemies hiding in the abandoned building. I will NOT disclose the object behind the stamp now, I shall disclose the answer by tomorrow.   What I want to express here is, Maximaphily makes transformation, and that is the FUN of maximaphily . Cheers !

这里贴一枚由普通广告片制作的极限片 - 军人。 我刻意把片上的广告主角以一枚邮票给遮隐,并盖销一枚首日发行图案戳,促成一枚和谐的极限片。制成后的片让人感觉军人似乎在寻找废置屋子内躲藏的敌人。暂时我保留邮票遮隐部位的实物,明天才为大家来揭晓。我主要是要让大家知道,极限可以把一枚丑小鸭变天鹅,这就是极限的乐趣!共赏。

【In Memory of the Tanjung Pagar Railway Terminal 】 【 记忆里的丹戎巴葛火车终站】

【In Memory of the Tanjung Pagar Railway Terminal 】
【 记忆里的丹戎巴葛火车终站】

KTM railway was my ONLY commuting transport to and fro my hometown to Singapore during my schooling days. When the train ended its journey in Singapore and stopped at Tanjung Pagar, I used to speak to myself, I was still standing in Malaysia until I stepped out of the Tanjung Pagar station. Truly, the building and the stretch of railway tracks on the Singapore land were held under the Malayan Railway on a 999 year lease. The station was officially closed on 30 June, 2011 when the new Woodlands Train terminal came into service. I like the colonial building of the Tanjung Pagar Station. I am glad Singpost came out with a stamp on Tanjung Pagar Railway Station, and I was able to find a relevant card to realise a maximum card.

年少到新加坡念书,乘搭的就是马来西亚铁道局的火车直达新加坡的丹戎巴葛火车终站。当到达丹戎巴葛时,终会洋洋在对自己说,在还没踏出火车站一步,我还在踩在马来西亚的土地,只因一直以来,丹戎巴葛终站和新加坡境内的铁道都属于马来西亚铁道局拥有,租赁期 999 年。自从兀兰新建的火车终站在2011年7月1日启用后,丹戎巴葛的最后一趟火车于2011年6月30日午夜开出后宣布关闭。我喜欢丹戎巴葛殖民地色彩的建筑,怀念那高耸的侯车大厅。丹戎巴葛走进了历史,高兴新邮政发行一枚纪念丹戎巴葛的邮票,让这古色古香的建筑永远收录在邮票里。我总不错过制作一枚极限片纪念。共赏!

【The nolstalgic days of the Old Cinemas 老电影院陪伴的年代】

【The nolstalgic days of the Old Cinemas 老电影院陪伴的年代】

In the 1970s I did my study in Singapore, I enjoyed going cinema during the weekends. Very often, I patronised Cathay cinema joining the queque for a movie ticket. During those nolstalgic years, going to movie was probably the only favorite pastime for all the youngsters. Time flies, 40 years slipped just like minutes. I can now catch the glorious Glimpse of the Cathay Cinema on my maximum card.

70年代,当我还在星加坡求学的当儿,最快乐的是周末列队买票看戏。记得常去乌节路的国泰戏院看戏。当年,看戏是年轻人最佳的消遣。一晃40年过去了,陪伴着我们年少时代的老戏院也只能在我收藏中的极限片中一睹风采。

I like Reggie Lee series postcard. This comic postcard writes the conversion between the 2 tall buildings in the World in 1980s, the newly completed Malaysia Twin Towers was making the comparison of its height with the reigning rival - the Sears Towers in USA. With this comic postcard I realised a KLCC Twin Tower maximum card.

我喜欢雷吉李系列明信片,80年代风行一时,目前断版,再也看不到他的好作品。这一枚有趣的漫画明信片讲述两座80年代世界最高建筑在互相比较高度的对话,生动有趣。我把明信片贴上了双子塔邮票,制作了一枚双子塔极限片收藏。

【马来西亚双子塔2007年荣获阿嘎汉建筑奖】

Malaysia Twin Towers was awarded with the  Aga Khan Best Architecture award in 2007. Pos Malaysia issued a Single stamp to honour the award. The stamps were SOLD OUT in a short period of time. Many collectors missed to get hold of the stamp. I was busy making my Maximum cards in the Post Office counter without knowing that the stamp became a popular demand, I was glad that my stamps were gone to paste on numerous postcards and they are all now in Maximum Cards.  Share with all  an AGA Khan Twin Tower Maximum Card.
