Went in the main entrance, pass by all the booth when we finally came to the Big Bad Box Sale in Zone A.
The queue was long and there were many using BB1M . Thank goodness that the staffs seems to be have have hands like octopus . The queue moved quite fast. The BBWS staff in blue T-shirt on the left was very helpful . He reminded those who are using BB1M vouchers to get their Identity Card ready for inspection at the counter.
After we got our box, Mamarazzi went off book hunting while I wait with Papa
Gosh! Mamarazzi took so long to fill up a box. Must be "kiasuism", wanting to stuff as many books into the box as she can
I phoned her twice when she finally emerged from the sale.
P/S : Mamarazzi suggest for you to bring a trolley to carry the box around or deposit the box at the storage area while you hunt for books. She didn't bring trolley. Adoi...hands lengguh liao baru noticed the storage area.
Then it was my turn pulak....Off we went to check out booth of other vendors pulak.
Mamarazzi saw this booth selling super cheap shoes. RM5 to RM10 a pair and it was from CN...is it called Cartoon Network? She asked the lady why so cheap and the lady said coz it's old stock.
Mamarazzi bought two pairs for me.
Ni anak Mak betul as i also kiasu la...wanna wear my new shoes immediately
Ready? Nice...wokay...time to jalan!
Time to go off from the sale lo...I was not satisfied but Mamarazzi said , no worries...she bought loads of books for me from the sale.
Fuiyo....so many....can guess how many in the box ka? saw in Facebook , one lady managed to squeeze in 75 books! Wah lau leh! That's average RM1.33 per book leh. Hmmm....how about Mamarazzi....will she be able to top that?
The above are what she managed to squeeze into the box.
The Big Bad Box Sale will be is on from now till 30th March 2014. Time 11am to 9pm. Venue : MIECC Seri Kembangan
Very good strategy - to go for thin expensive books so can get more books into the box. I counted 51 books. How big was your box? 79 or 99?
ReplyDeletekiasu punya pasal la
DeleteRM99,90
DeleteWhy no prize? 49 books...average RM2 a book. Hehehehe!!!
ReplyDeletesoooo pandai ah
DeleteNice haul :)
ReplyDeletehappy with it
DeleteMama Kucing, so many books.. any thoughts of giving book-aways? This seems to be a bookoholic week, right?
ReplyDeleteerr...nope... kekek
DeleteLooks like so much fun! We have seen the cartoon network, we get it on our T.V. Have you been wearing the shoes to play in ever since? You will have books to read for a long time now!
ReplyDeleteyup....hehehe
DeleteSo many books!!! Really have to carry trolley around as the books too many to carry around that gonna be very tired!!! =[
ReplyDeleteya lor...didnt bring trolley. hand lengguh liao
DeleteWish i could grab the book from the pictures and borrow from you to read... hehe...
ReplyDeleteBBWS is going to johor soon, can go there
DeleteI counted 50 books! Wah one book a day also can last for two months!
ReplyDeleteMamarazzi can read 2 books in a day!! so this is barely enough for one month only :p
Deletehahaha...it maybe be two months or maybe two years LOL...am a hoarder
DeleteWahh...not bad ehh.
ReplyDeletestill not enough leh
Deleteyeah, Uncle SK also find this concept interesting!! just buy a box and sumbat as many books as you can, it feels like you are in the Supermarket Sweep, must plan what kind of books you are getting, and that the books must be small and thin enough and expensive so that you can stuff more into the box to exceed to cost.. this round more challenging because must plan and calculate beforehand, not just grab and go.. :p
ReplyDeleteya lo....syok leh just take anybooks without thinking how much to pay as alrady paid upfront.
DeleteBut as for planning..hmmm...susah sikit leh
Uncle SK thinks he will even take a longer time than Mamarazzi, because being a perfectionist, he needs to make sure the total amount exceeds RM80 and that the books must be arranged in a very neat manner inside the box.. and Mamarazzi surely is very good in doing this!! haha, look at her box, so many books stuffed in and she didn't wasted a single inch of space!! now we know, every inch is money!! :D
ReplyDeletemust challenge you to sumbat as many as you can in a box next year if they are having this again
Deleteinteresting books Mamarazzi boronged!! sure she was very satisfied with what she got from this BBBS huh?? can considered as kind of balanced up her frustration caused by the incident the day before?? hahaha.. anyway, Uncle SK saw one book called "Hidden Army", ah, must be a gift to Uncle TM ke?? and i also saw one sticker there, err, why only one?? i thought those stickers are great to fill up the spaces, hehe!! :p
ReplyDeleteyeah lo...so happy with so many books leh as compared to previous day which sale really not up to Mamarazzi's expectation
DeleteGot a lot of stickers but tarak snap pic aje
Uncle SK counted 49 books, RM79.90/49 and it's only RM1.63 a book and of course he is not taking into considerations the petrol and time spent lah, even so, it's not more than RM2 for a book, a very very great deal considering some of the books were selling at at least RM20..
ReplyDeletenah...it was 99.90 box leh
Deletebut even that also worth it la.
Your mamarazzi always made me giggle when books are mentioned! I thought my Letchumy is a serious book worm but now I have found a clone! Letchumy always made me wave white flags with her books obsessions but Mamarazzi is equally nuts. Bwahahahaha... I want to chat with Kaldip and compare notes.
ReplyDeleteLetchumi's books and Mamarazzi's books are not same leh. Hers is more serious type of books while Mamarazzi is like DBKL. everything also wallop
DeleteGoodness!! Your mamarazzi could get so many books inside the box with her magic skills! I am sure she tossed and rotated the books many times until perfect! There is nothing she would not try!
ReplyDeletenot yet leh...some eve get 70 over oooks in a box leh
DeleteI am always wondering how Small Kucing could finish reading the so-many-many books you have now! It might last you until 50 years old! Muahahahaha
ReplyDeletecan punya....sikit sikit ...lama lama jadi bukit..
Deleteanyway ...cannot finish reading nevermind..can keep and sell as antique book later on. Saw one book Mamarazzi read in her school library ..published on 1960...now selling in ABebooks for nearly USD100 leh.
This sale concept reminds me of the book buffet sale done by Mega Kidz (I think this is the name of the shop) in the 5th floor of MidValley Megamall, selling Scholastic publication books. Customer buys a cloth bag for something like RM50 (if I didn't remember wrongly) and then they can squeeze in as many books as they can pick to fit into the bag. Whatever books you can squeeze into that bag is yours.
ReplyDeleteI heard of that too but i tarak go.,
