There are people whose hobby is collection stamps....some collecting coins...some collecting angpau packets but Mamarazzi have a weird hobby....
She likes to collect Big Bad Wolf Books Sale bookmarks .
This is one of the oldest in her collection. Dated back in 2010.
Follows by The Returns of the BBW Books sale back in 2011.
Each year, they have a few designs I think but these were the ones that Mamarazzi managed to get. Ah.....this was back when the sale was in MAEPS.
Fuiyoh...the venue super huge and we had to park very faraway and take a bus to the venue. But that sale really syok oh.....went there noon and stayed till late in the evening. That time we have only one preview pass. Mamarazzi share preview pass with Auntie CC who came all the way from Kemaman for the sale.
Papa and me went "dating" together. The Lady boss saw Papa there and invited him to go in even without the pass but that time we malu-malu kucing la. Paiseh.
In 2012, BBW Books Sale shifted to MIECC. Parking was much nearer to the venue. Though there were some hiccup here and there but I didn't mind. You know why? Coz they have this super-duper big Playland there.
Mamarazzi
Maybe that's why Mamarazzi managed to get two of the bookmarks which are different in design that year.have different design.
Year 2013 really crazy oh......BBW sail to Penang in March, we also went hunting in Penang. Ngum ngum school holiday katakan...
BBW went to Kuantan in April....we also went "surfing" in Kuantan
Managed to collect two designs.
That time syok oh....it was held in Zenith Hotel and we stayed in Zenith Hotel. Mamarazzi and me just have to take the lift go downstairs and we were at the sale already. No need to worry about parking and all that. Opposite Zenith hotel also have lovely place to makan.
Errrr.... But we didn't follow it to Johor la in May/June.
Ngum Ngum Mamarazzi's friend, Cikgu Lau was there. She went and helped us borong and got us these two bookmarks.
Year end we went to the Main Sale. Pirate Theme. Love it! Mamarazzi managed to collect this bookmark.
Mid this year, papa's friends from Indonesia came. Wanted to go Penang for a day trip. Hmmm.....Day trip to Penang not viable la. Some more Raya time leh. All hotels fully booked leh.
Off we went to Ipoh instead la.....and collected one more bookmark from the BBW Books sale there .
Now yesterday, the Postman came and brought us an envelope. Uiks! Sender's Signature is "B.B.Wolf" wor.....could it be......???
An envelope inside of the big envelope .
Phewit!!!!!! A letter from The Wolf! A Preview Pass for this year's sale!!! Yippeee....
This year, I think Mamarazzi will go crazy coz BBW will have 15 new designs bookmarks to be given out!
Argh! Wouldn't it be nice if BBW would put the bookmarks into a set to sell. Just like the BBW fridge magnets and badges previous two years. Am sure many will grab the limited edition bookmarks leh.
Haiz...if not....liddat have to camp at MIECC from 5th Dec to 16 Dec to collect all the bookmarks lor.

yeah, anything can become a collection if we like it and I guess if the things that we collect are able to help us remember some events in the past, lagi more meaningful kan?? so that say, we may see some other people collecting something we never thought of, and wonder why they collect while we will just ditch them aside.. but hey, collecting stuffs is fun especially when your collection gets bigger - of course your storage space needed too :p
ReplyDeleteTrue what you have said. Hmm...bookmarks doesn't takes up much space. same like stamps. Just nice. can be like stamps to remember certain events as you have pointed out :)
Deleteso Mamarazzi has got all the BBWS bookmarks for all the years!! with such a great book lover, no surprise that she loves bookmarks too!! and I would say the BBWS bookmarks are all very nicely designed and those catchy messaged printed are really fun to read!! kudos to the designer of the bookmarks!! and Uncle SK would say, they are worth to be kept as a collection, won't take up space too!! :)
