Remember the card I asked hubby to send for me? Which I missed out the postcode when I wrote the address? Well, I was very sure it's not going to reach my mom. Or even if it does, it'll be way past her birthday. So I sent another card (different design) by courier the day before her birthday so that it'll reach her the next day.
When I called mom to wish her, she told me I gave her a scare by sending TWO cards. She thought I was so absent-minded that I forgot I've already sent a card, thus sending another one. :-| She didn't realise about the incomplete address. I told her I'm quite blur at times, but not to the extent of forgetting what I've done. hahaha
I'm really impressed with our postal service. Even without a postcode, they processed it as normal, without any delays. So this year, mom got double the wishes. :-)

Happy Belated Bday to your mum.
Hmm, probably your mum's house is easy to find, so without the postcode, they wouldnt get lost.
I guess our postal services IS getting better. But then again, packages do disappear still, prolly there's nothing valuable about a piece of card to some postmen that's why they don't bother making it disappear :P.
I must say that our postal service here can be quite efficient at times.
I remember I received before those letter without postcode or wrong spelling of Taman too...
Hahaha...I had one case where I put the wrong postcode but still sampai. Our postal service not bad!
good.. here in India, it works without postal code as I myself most of the time forgot to write it but the letter reaches just fine.. :)

happy belated birthday to ur mum!
Hi Slavemom, ha ha, I bet your mom did get worried too.
I some years back received a faded letter with only my name, no address. This letter was written in Penang more than 30 years ago, and after 30 years found me here in Canada.
And surprisingly, letters, cards take 11 to 12 days to arrive Malaysia from here.
You have a pleasant weekend, Lee.
I'm back with a tag for you..hehe. Do it when you are really free, ok. http://mummygwen.blogspot.com/2009/03/surveysand-more-surveys.html

Oh ya, happy belated birthday to your mommy.

Your mom must be happy enough to receive two greeting cards from you.

It's been ages that I've not sent any cards/letters using postal service... :P
Indeed our postal dept has improved...
your mum had double joy this year...so sweet of you to send a card for your mum's bday...
wow, ur mom must be very happy to receive 2 cards, Happy belated birthday to her!
I have to agree with you, our pos malaysia service had improve a lot!I remember during cny i sent out card, some of them receive just two days or 1 days after! Last time it will take at least one week or more or get lost!
i think postcode omitted is just a small problem, i ever received a letter which the address was in wrong spelling.
You know, I have received many letters which are not ours. The address stated is not even our address.
hey...u must hv a very good r/ship with dearest mom heh, i've never send card to mom wor...but she's just living next taman lar, hahaha
emmm...i normally believe these ppl in pos don't really see d postcode wan lor...i think they read & rely on d address more(jalan apa, taman apa) so even without postcode, i do believe d mail will get to d destination!!
