py (3)
goes by the name veron (english) or wanting (chinese). a definitive leo born august 1, 1984. a solo traveler. loves cats, coffee, sensual music, yummy food and technology. when she's not at her job as an IS developer for the government, she's likely to be out dining, or visiting an interesting art gallery or event.
in my five-parter blog series on STAMP, i am featuring this yellow postbox with the fourth design that i’m voting for. this postbox has a cultural feel to it and has been painted to resemble a giant antique tiffin carrier (food container).
back in the olden years, people used this multi-tier container like a lunch box. what made it efficient was that different types of dishes such as rice, vegetables and meat could be carried around, each one compartmentalised into a separate tier.
the artists have painted on pretty floral patterns that make the postbox look really quaint. spot it at keong saik road in chinatown. i can’t think of a location that is more apt for this particular postbox!

Woah, you’re like on a treasure hunt finding all these customized Singapore Post Boxes. Has anyone started a Flickr group on this? Would make sense to geo-tag these photos :) View all comments by Kevin
The organisers have a flickr album with all 40 postboxes (link above)! That’s where I got all these pictures. I don’t have time to go hunting for them! View all comments by Veron
