Paylessbook Warehouse Sale @ YMCA Brickfield and An Unexpected Encounter

This is not Dan Neh Neh. Papa say bring me to Dan Neh Noh geh. I slept in the car. When I woke up, I was here pulak.

Came out of the Lift, saw this. Mamarazzi snapped a photo. Mana tau this photo turn out to be a historical photo for me.

You see, caught in this photos is one of the reader of this blog. A very friendly lady. This lovely lady recognised my face. She came and say "hello" to Mamarazzi and me.

Ish...Mamarazzi really bikin malu aje. Mamarazzi just stood there like "blur sotong" and looking rather "unfriendly"(according to Papa) while this lovely lady puji me photogenic and cute. Mamarazzi said she was surprised wor. Never expect to bump into a reader of this blog. Thus, didn't know how to re-act.

To the friendly Jie Jie, thank you for coming over to say hello. Very sorry Mamarazzi didn't catch your name as Mamarazzi biasa "blur sotong" punya.

Okay...back to the story. We were at Paylessbooks Warehouse Sale @ YMCA Brickfield. And it's going on from 3rd September 2010 to 5th September 2010. (Note to SK : still have time to go)

Mamarazzi have not been "chasing" PLB sale for quite some time already. The reason being is that most of the books are repeated from previous sales.


Hmm....something different. Now the price for Best Selling Author Paperback Fiction have increased. Mamarazzi browsed thru the titles. Not really "new" and "updated" titles.


Nevertheless, I managed to grab some books. Sat at a corner "pretending" to sort books like what Mamarazzi used to do.


This round, nothing much. Mamarazzi managed to grabbed two sets of the RM12 for 5 books. Among it is "Superman III". You can guess this book is for who.


Also managed to dig up these two books. Bought solely due to the usual name of the authors.

Mamarazzi seems to recall it was mentioned somewhere that "A Suitable Boy" by Vikram Seth is a good read. That's why she bought this book although its hardcover, very thick and weight at least a kilo.

Guess, she will be burning more midnight oil lor.

BookXcess Throw Out, I Kutip-ed

Yesterday morning we arrived at Amcorp Mall "Seven early eight early". Why? Still remember Mamarazzi's post on BookXcess Spring Cleaning? That's why loh. BookXcess Spring Cleaning, we kutip loh. Win-win situation.


Still early. BookXcess no open yet. Still time for breakfast. Ate at the "Mamak shop"at Lower Ground. I heard that there is a Flea Market at Amcorp Mall every weekend. Hope no fleas will attach itself to me. So far, I didn't see and Fleas. Only many people opening stall like at Pasar Malam selling all sorts of things.



Finally it's time to start "digging" at Bookxcess. Many books on sale. Can't see much of RM3 books. Must've been "sapu-ed" by the early birds. Still many RM5 and RM9.90 books to choose from. Quite a lot of Romance selling at RM5, RM6.90 and RM9-90. Mamarazzi saw a Barbara Taylor Bradford (large print) going for RM9-90 only!

Here are the books that Mamarazzi bought. RM5 each only.

Mamarazzi managed to grab 3 only of this hardcover Fifi and The Flower Tots Stories and Activities Book. Another Malay lady sapu-ed a whole bunch of them. None left.

These 3 pulak are Mamarazzi's. RM9-90 each

Check out the John Irving. It's Hardcover some more! Alamak! should have grab one for Uncle Newton. Mana nak dapat brand new hardcover John Irving book at RM9-90?


All these are new authors to Mamarazzi except for Meg Hutchinson. Love stories. Usually Mamarrazi hardly buy any love stories but beh tahan la. All selling at RM5 each wor!. And the Meg Hutchinson and Joan Jonker books are Hardcover. How to tahan?


Don't ask me why Mamarazzi grab two of this Sindbad book. Kiasu kot? Coz so cheap leh. Only RM3 each. *Pengsan*.

Total damages to the pocket : RM81-40.

Lucky Papa sakit perut and had to find place to do some business or else the damage incurred would have been much worse.

Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara - TIMES Books Clearence Fair

Surprised to see that TIMES Bookstore having Clearance Sale there. Details as follows :

Date : 11-28 Feb 2010
Venue : 1st Flr Sunway Giza,Kota Damansara
Time : 11am to 9pm



Mamarazzi's hoard? Just a few books. Not much "appetite" as most are repeated books from previous sale and the price were not that cheap. Those RM10 for 3 and RM30 for 3 were all jumble up with the rests of the books. Needs a lot of digging.



What was I doing while Mamarazzi was busy digging? I had 1901 Hot Dog.

YOH! Auntie Cynthia..today is 19TH!!

And I play peekaboo with myself.

Saw a BIG butterfly

Cheh! fake one eh.

What's this...Got torchlight here ah...

Eeee....so many Century Eggs on the floor geh.

Wah...quite heavy wor this "egg".

Ahhh...I've got an egg!

I "seludup"one home under my shirt. Maybe the "egg" will hatch into a Century Chicken...

Books From The Big Bad Wolf Books Sale and BookXcess

Wondering what Mamarazzi books bought? Here they are.

Counting books for me with a button which I can press. RM5 each.

Poppy Cat Magic Drawing Book at RM8 or RM10(Mamarazzi forgot)

Bedtime story with a toy. RM15.

All RM8/book except Amanda Quick at RM5. But the Cashier wrongly charge as RM8. Nevermind la, since Mamarazzi had saved a lot from her purchases and the staffs there were very nice.


Anoher batch of RM8/per book. Notice that Mamarazzi seems to be buying a lot of fiction books?

And most of the are written by Asian Author. RM8/book.

Large print and thick book. Also RM8/book

These two also RM8/book and what's more is that the Shanghai Tango by Jin Xing is a signed copy. I wonder how BBWB managed to get it? Tabik!


This is also RM8 and frankly speaking, Mamarazzi bought it due to it's cute cover. And yup, Mamarazzi receiived the comomerative book mark.


After going for the sale, she went to BookXcess to get the books that Uncle Newton had kindly pre-order for her.


Yes, The Cecelia Ahern book. Then Kaw Kaw LC recommended Chris Manby "The Matchbreaker". RM19-90 only. Hardcover some more!



The Beijing Coma is from BBWBS RM8 and The Associate is from BookXcess at RM24-90.

Did anyone of you out there went for this Sale? How much did you spent there?

The Big Bad Wolf Books Warehouse Sale At Amcorp Mall 26th November 2009

The Star Newspaper reported a large crowd attending the sale. Read here. And we are one of those who made up the crowd. By 9.30a.m. ,people are waiting outside for the sale to begin


The staffs checking everything and putting the final touch on. There are a lot of books. Neatly arranged. Looked very spacious hor? But once the crowds are in, the place is packed like a can of Sardine. Barely any room for maneuvering.


The books are well categorised. Large sign pasted on the wall to identify where each type of books are located. This the Non-Fiction side.

Romance Section

Fiction and Chinese Section. Children's books have a large hall by itself *YAYAY*.

Wow! when the gate opened, the crowd rushed in.

Despite everything, the staffs managed to control the crowd well. Staffs were placed at the entrance directing "traffic" and helping the crowd to get boxes for their books.

After half an hour, Mamarazzi's box full up nearly to the ream. A pretty lady staff offered to help her to put her box at the Customer Service Counter while she go on hunting.

There was a large crowd at the payment counter. But two helpful staffs were placed there to manage the queue. Making sure nobody jump queue and making sure everything goes smoothly. By the time Mamarazzi made payment, the queue was already up to Kenny Roger Restaurant.



What was I doing while Mamarazzi gone hunting? I was having a great time at McDonald Restaurant.

Having Happy Meal for Breakfast with Papa.

Then Mamarazzi finally come back with a huge box of books overflowing out.

Here are two of Mamarazzi best pals from primary school who came for the sale after being informed by Mamarazzi. Two more of Mamarazzi's friends from school time also came for the sale but they were busy book hunting while we were taking photos.

A real good job done to The Big Bad Wolf Books for not only bringing great books at an affordable price but also bringing old time friends together.

The only thing that marr the event for Mamarazzi was the shopping complex guard told Mamarazzi not to take photos of the event. It seems that only the Press and BookXcess staffs may take photos. *Angry* Mamarazzi look like a thief planning to rob the place or what? So "pah pai". Oh...please take note that Mamarazzi is not angry at BBWB Management as they did a great job. Mamarazzi is angry at the shopping complex's Management as the guard said that it's the shopping complex's policy.
