My frst BBW preview sale experience!

I've been to the first Big Bad Wolf (BBW) sale previously, didn't know it then, at Dataran Hamodal many moons ago and I was truly blown away by it! It was my first experience with remainder books and the prices were so affordable. Little did I know then it would evolve to be a big, huge sale event it is today!

Since they have shifted their sales location to MIECC, I've never had a chance to go there as it is too far for me. Also the area is not convenient to travel to via public transport and it is also terribly jam! However, this year, I've finally scored 2 preview passes to attend the most happening event of the year! All thanks to KLBAC and BBW team, I could bring my family along since 2 preview passes admit 4! Thankfully, hubby was also willing to drive us there, knowing how much I was looking forward to it :-) So when the day arrived, I was feeling hyper! LOL!

Loving this preview pass' design!

I left work early and headed to MIECC after lunch and hub's settled his work. As it was the preview day, the traffic was not as bad with easy parking and it was a comfortable experience. The place was cooling and the spacing was just nice with all the islands labelled accordingly. I was able to browse through all except for a couple of other sections as we wanted to leave by 6pm, before the peak hour started. Hub's managed to snap a couple of pics whilst I was busy browsing and searching for what I wanted!

A bird's eye view shot

Halfway through, hubs realised the payment queue was extremely long so he started queuing while I continued to browse as much as I could. Leaving the trolley with him was the best as I could browse even faster! Too fast that I've missed out on Hollow City! *wallowing in self pity* It is on my shopping list but I honestly do not know how could I have overlooked it! I guess we were not fated to find each other that day... sigh!

Took this when I've joined hub and angels in the queue

All in all, I was truly a happy bibliophile! I've managed to score some books I've been eyeing though I've missed out on Hollow City! The prices this time around is pretty steep, perhaps due to the currency exchange with the low RM. I'm truly grateful that hubs was willing to ferry us to and fro though angels were the ones complaining I'm buying so many books again!!! Unlucky me, my kids do not share the love of books with me... #firstworldpains

After removing some from my initial loot, this is my humble haul. I would have gotten more if the prices were not as expensive... hint hint #PRM5F

Please excuse the ugly background

So I'll be on 'book buying fast' in year 2017... perhaps breaking the fast during #PRM5F in December. I must concentrate on clearing my TBR piles as it's getting taller and taller! *fingers crossed* FYI, some fell on me the other day hence it has awaken my senses... LOL!

MYWritersFest2016

This is just a recapped of my first time attending a MYWritersFest event since it's convenient for me to go. It was launched on 1st October 2016 from 2 to 5pm at Kedai Fixi, Jaya Shopping Center. I had arrived on the dot but it's still early as mostly only writers were there. So I took the chance to mingle with them LOL! It was not easy being alone and not knowing any of them even though I've communicated with some via Facebook! Had to put a really thick skin on but the best part, I've left abruptly at the end without saying goodbye to them! I did say goodbye to Tina but then just left after that... dunno why... I was really that blur max!

MYWritersFest was organized by Malaysian Writers Society founders, Gina Yap and Tina Isaacs. There are meet & greet, writer appearances and book sales & autographs in the month of October so do check them out at the venue near you... especially if you wished to be a writer :-) The below 'quoted' information has been taken from their Facebook page of the first event:

It's that time of the year again. October is the most happening month for Malaysian writers and readers as #MYWritersFest2016 brings you together at 14 venues all across Malaysia this year.

Inside the twisted mind of Rifle Range Boy by Farouk Gulsara

Making his debut at #MYWritersFest2016 is Farouk Gulsara, a self-professed "daytime healer and writer by night." Inside the Twisted Mind of Rifle Range Boy is a collection of thoughts and musings from his blog, Rifle Range Boy.

Me with Gina Yap

Selumbar by Ikmal Ahmad

Best known for his novel Velvet, published by Fixi, Ikmal Ahmad will launch his latest effort Selumbar (Rumah Lipur Lara) during #MYWritersFest2016.

Malaysia Dilanggar Singapura by Anuar Shah

Anuar Shah is no stranger to the local literary scene, having established himself with titles like Pinjam and Pentas (both from Fixi) as well as his popular musings on legal and property issues. He will debut his latest offering, Malaysia Dilanggar Singapura (Simptomatik Press) at the launch.

Tapir Timmy belajar buat apa yang betul! by Gina Yap

Though Gina Yap Lai Yoong is best known for the bestselling NGERI trilogy of books published by Fixi, this foray into children's books -- a Malay translation of Josephine Yoong's Tapir Timmy Does the Right Thing -- isn't a huge stretch. "It was a privilege to work on the translation of this book as I truly believe in the importance of instilling the value of INTEGRITY into the younger generation today," says Yap.

Horror Stories 2 by Tunku Halim

With over 29,000 copies sold -- and another reprint scheduled next month -- it's no wonder that Tunku Halim's Horror Stories is hailed by publisher Fixi Novo as "the bestselling Malaysian English fiction book of all time." This hotly-anticipated sequel offers up "the stories that were just too nasty to be included in the bestselling first volume."

Art For Grabs: Family Squad! last Saturday...

I've visited Art for Grabs event last Saturday at The School, Jaya One. What I liked about this event is that it touches on humanity, handmade crafts and local artisans. There were 90 art and activism booths, featuring homemade art and crafts which I adored. This time around as my time was short, I didn't take many photos and just rushed around the event looking for what I want.

First stop was KL Book Exchange:
Met up with Gladys, the founder, as I've won a contest she had organized last July :-)

My prize... a book! So I was to choose one from her many books!

Gladys, me and her abundance of books!

Next, hunting for my cousin and finally found him!

Leon and me

Like me, he's also into handicrafts and he makes felt dolls! I think in both my maternal and paternal side, only both of us are into handmade stuffs. However, he has ventured into a different handicraft and now he makes pompom dolls! IT IS SO ADORABLE!!!

Can be used as a brooch or ornament... so cute right???

Poodle... poodle... every where poodle!
