Yay! we were invited for the BBWS Preview. Very excited as Kor Kor Jon and family also managed to get a Preview Pass.
A bit panic the night before the review coz saw that the BBWS updated their FB status stating that
This year the sale is being held at The Malaysian Agro Exposition Park Serdang from 7th to 16th October 2011, from 10am to 9pm.
We parked at the parking lot and this bus send us to Hall A.
Eeee..My 1st time riding bus...like riding LRT lah. Only much bumpy
Hahaha!! aren't you glad you don't have to jaga pintu?
Queue started to form not long before the sale start. We can't go in before 12pm coz the organiser was having an event there.
When time to go in, Mamarazzi went in with Auntie Florence. Waaaa!!! I wanna go also leh....but Papa said bring me and Uncle Patrick to go gai-gai and go McDonald wor. Don't want me to ka-ka-cau-cau in the sale.
One of the Boss, Jacqueline saw Papa and she invited him in wor. So nice of her. But we didn't go in la coz worry later I would mess up all the books pulak. Delegate the book hunting job to Mamarazzi.
Mamarazzi nearly pengsan when saw the vast area to cover. She said of course she heads up to the Children Section first. Grabs books for me wor.
It took her very long time to cover that Section and Fiction Section. More than two hours.
Walking barely 1/3 of the area, her legs felt tired already. Salute! those who worked there daily.
This round, special counters are located at each side of the Hall to help the visitors. There was a counter to unwrap the books for customer to test or look over the book.
There are counter for customers to deposit their boxes full of books while they go hunting for more. Proper numbers were given too.
Happy to say that this year, payment counter not chaotic. The Cashiers knows how to count the books properly. Not like last year they go and count white labels and yellow labels which causes the queue to proceed slowly and error in counting.
Aiks....Finish shopping for books, can shop for clothing ah...just in case clothes gets torn from all the grabbing of books is it?
Hmmmm.....there was even a stall promotion Cat food and Dog Food and a stall promotion Manicure sets....
Aisay.....how come Mamarazzi didn't know geh. Seems that we can also purchase books from the same and donate it to 10 Charity Home.
Saw some people already donated a bit.
Hahaha...here are my books!
Wanna know what are the titles? Checkout http://mamakucingbooks.blogspot.com/2011/10/purchases-from-big-bad-wolf-sale.html
