2nd Big Bad Wolf Books Haul

Since my husband needs to attend a meeting this morning I followed him to work and went back to JB around lunch hour after he had finished his meeting and me, my shopping. The awesome Big Bad Wolf Sales.

P261109_10.06

The sale start at 10 am, and I reached Amcorp Mall (naik LRT to station Taman Jaya) dalam 10 mins before 10. I was surprised to find lots of people waiting around the entrance. But its a warehouse sale. Cheap books! Of course loads of people gonna show up early. When it times to come in, it was utter madness. People scrambling everywhere to get books or reached the tables they want.

The goods
  • Loads of titles to choose from. Depends on your interest. But chic lit books got lots of nice authors.

  • Which bring me to another good point here: got Georgetthe Heyer!

  • Real cheap! Most of the books I seen there is RM8, even the big one.

  • The organizers had kindly organized which section is which so I can just ignore the section I never really care about (Self help books. Gah!)

  • Really friendly staffs. You couldn't find a more jovial warehouse sales staff at another place.    


    The gripes

  • The venue is small and the tables are pushed together closely to one another. No space to REALLY browse the books. But because the organizers had nicely arranged the books, all I have to do is look in between people shoulder and take the books I want.

  • The queue was terrible. It was haphazard, long winded, snaking all around the front shop lot and people have no idea where it start. People snappish behavior does not help when some people are asking where is the queue. Geez people, be nicer to people who wants to queue can you?


  • The inconsiderate trolley carriers who place their trolley haphazardly. At least the considerate one, manage to roll their trolley out of people path. There was one woman who is carrying a big trolley with a box on top of the trolley blocking a whole path of people wanting to come through. Ugh!


  • The really annoying boxes carrier who put their box on top of the rows of books that people are perusing. People needs to stop doing that at warehouse book sales unless there is no people around you.

  • Being not nice. Just because it is crowded, it does not excuse you of not saying 'excuse me' when you bumped into another people painfully. Yes, my back does hurt from your bucu kotak. A vague apology would be appreciated at the very least.

Yeah, my gripes are mostly on inconsiderate people. I guess the organizers had underestimated the number of people coming to the sales but credit is due to their arranging the books which saved me a lot of time in finding what I want to buy.


My haul?

End of a decade?

So people are like eh its not the end of a decade, end of a decade is dec 2020. Whatever. We ignore this people. Nearing towards the end of 2019. I wanted to summarize what I had done in a decade but old age is catching up and my memory is foggy. Lets just tried it. From 2010 to 2019 - I had worked 3 jobs.  Quit and now a SAHM. - Went from 2 cats to 8 til recently and now down to 5. I can manage 5. 8 was chaos. - Somehow from having no kids I now have 3 boys. 2,5,7 . - I want to say I travel unsatisfactorily but I visited about 6 countries in 10 years. Ok lah.  - Husband went from long distance and now back at home just recently. - Went from a US tv shows addicts to Kdrama addicts. - Read a lot the first half of decade, not so after quitting. Duduk rumah don't feel like reading. Which is bad sebab kenkadang feels like brain rotting off. - Blogging is no longer a thing by 2019, but we hardened early 2000s bloggers are coming back to spout off nonsense s...

Why does my heart cried Feelings I can't fight You betrayed me But just don't deceived me And please believe me when I say I love you [From the movie Moulin Rouge] And why didnt he? He's playing hot and cold.. hot and cold with me. I can't stand it. Yet I always come back for more. I am a true blue masochist. I don't even ask him to love me. I just ask him to miss me. And he couldnt even do that.. or say it. I just want to see his face once more. To see his lovely smiles, his small laugh. Why couldn't I forget him. When he could so easily dismissed me.. he could just easily come back and messed my sense and sensibility. While my tears fall down to my keyboard, yet at the same time I was making jokes and soothing him telling him "no worries". I don't ask for much... a smile, a pat on the hand. I miss him so much. Yet I am so afraid to let it shows. Becoz then if I show it... it will hurt 10 times more.
