"Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live." - Gustave Flaubert

 

the Big Bad Wolf super-monstrous-super-craaaaazy book sale ended yesterday. alhamdulillah, i got the chance to be there with my two awesome cousins on the 2nd last day of the event. left my aunty's house around 9-ish so that we can reach MIECC around 10-ish. as ppl hv been commenting on BBW facebook page that getting to d parking space is quite a challenge, so better bergerak awal. when we reached there, still many parking spaces & dlm hall pn blom rmi sgt org. we thought that it's better to jln sndiri2 & once done, to meet somewhere near bunting yg tnjk kedai mkn. haiiihhh, meeting point pn nk kna dkt2 yg related dgn mkn. pfffft.

 

i brought greenbags with me & gv it to cousins as well. amik buku-bc synopsis-belek2 isi-masuk greenbag...amik buku-bc synopsis-belek2 isi-masuk greenbag. ada org yg angkut dgn kotak, which i know thp kekuatan lengan i xkn mmpu bertahan lama. ada org lk bw trolley bag. thn dpn la i bw trolley bag gk, hahahaha. ada org bw shopping bag IKEA. mna2 la, asalkn sng. i've read in a blog that u should just pick whatever that u like & do the sorting later. hasilnye, before sorting, i had 31 books in my 2 greenbags (senget kjp bahu i). after sorting, i only selected 21. tutup mata & say bye2 to those 10 titles, sobsobsob. b4 heading to the cashier, added another 3 books for mom. in total, i purchased 24 books for just rm178!!! hw can i not like it =)

 

cousin selected 12 books for herself. asal2nye lbh dr tu la. dh dkt nk queue utk byr, she selected only 12, TAPI 2 out of 12 tu dia cm sure x sure nak or xnk. i told her to just ambik & gv it to me. at d end, i got 23 books fr my 1st ever visit to BBW. waaahhhh, suka gillerrrr!!!

actually, d 21 books are not mine alone. ada org kirim mntk tlg belikan gk. memndgkn nk cari specific author or title or genre agk susah sket cz buku dh bercampur aduk ats meja2 kt BBW ni, i picked and chose books that i hope are relevant to that person's interest. suprisingly, i found 1 book at BBW that has been in my "books i want list" for quite some time. saw it once in the newspaper, read the review & keyed in the ISBN in my phone. the normal price would be somewhere around RM30++ at any bookstores. lucky me, found it at BBW for just RM8 =)

 

~ now can cross this from my "books i want" list ~

 

d challenge now is that i dnt hv space in my cabinet to put in more new books. yg baru2 beli tp lom bc, sume dh bkn dlm almari tmptnye. npknye hv to sacrifice. in order to provide space for the new books, i gave my old books to cousins. 1 of them got 10, anthr 1 got 4. now i have more space to place my new books yg dh tersedia ada b4 BBW. buku yg beli kt BBW still dlm greenbag, mmg xleh nk buat apa la.
