Big Bad Wolf Book Sale

One sale that I cant resist is, book sales! Kalau takleh pegi book sales, memang meroyan la aku kat rumah. I love book sales!! Dunno why.. ke sebab aku ni seorg nerd? Erm... I doubt that. Though I might look like a nerd, but I'm definitely not one! My kids love books too. In a way, I'm glad that they love to read. Aku ingat dulu, masa kecik2, though there're 9 of us, tapi most of the time, rumah mak aku senyap sunyi je sebab semua orang sibuk baca buku. I'm hoping that Iman and Iffah will be ulat buku too, but definitely not facebook type of buku la. :)

Pagi tadi aku bangun dengan sungguh bersemangat sekali sebab nak pegi big bad wolf book sale. Hubby came home from Johor last nite. Dia kata he arrived at 4am. Aku dah tak sedar apa2 coz I was dead tired. Lepas breakfast pagi tadi, I begged him to take us to South City Plaza (where?? ). Aku dalam blur2 ni, terpaksa la guna google map nak cari where the hell South City Plaza is. Dah ler aku tak familiar dengan area balakong and seri kembangan tu. Sesat la jugak kita orang nak cari the place.

The shopping mall nampak mcm a rundown shopping mall. Takde banyak activity, banyak kedai yang tutup. The only place yang ramai orang was the big bad wolf sale. Believe it or not, aku kena beratur panjang before I can enter the sale area. Macam nak gi sale LV je. Punya la ramai manusia yang membeli buku. Aku budget around RM200 for books, but I ended up paying almost RM400. Tu la masalahnya bila buku terlalu murah. But I think it's worth the money la sebab dapat more than 60 books termasuk la some bodybuilding books that hubby has always wanted but too expensive to buy, which was selling at about RM8-10 each.

Paling banyak rasanya buku for Iman and Iffah. I just let them take whatever they want. Most of their books were selling at RM5, some as cheap as RM3. I bought Jodi Picoult My Sister's Keeper for Iman at RM8! Baru je last month tergerak hati nak beli kat Popular. But because it was selling at RM32.90, terus aku tak jadi beli. Semua Jodi Picoult books are selling at RM8 until this Sunday. Tapi tak tau la whether esok ada stock lagi tak coz tadi pun aku tengok most of the books yang popular, dah almost gone.

Oh ya! We had to queue for more than 2 hours masa nak bayar! Mula2 ingat nak bayar guna cash, but I only had RM50 in my purse. Aku jarang carry duit byk2 coz selalunya aku guna Maybank debit je. But kalau nak bayar guna debit card, kena beratur kat lane credit card. Argh! such a hassle!! Dah ler ATM jauh giler! In the end, terpaksa la beratur lama, sampai lenguh kepala lutut and buku yang tak penuh kotak, jadi penuh kotak sebab aku keep on adding new books.

 Iman dah kepenatan.. 

 The person in front of me bought that many books!

 My book carrier.. hahahha

Lapar and penat.. Cepat la mama...

 Phew! Finally sampai rumah..

Books, books & books! ..
