MR. BIG BAD WOLF IS BACK IN TOWN

9th APRIL 2021 ~ I needed to get something from AEON Bandar Dato' Onn and someone I met earlier mentioned that there was the Big Bad Wolf Book Fair held at the same venue. I had to stop by and see if there would be anything to get hold of but I kept reminding myself that I still had books at home which had remained untouched for quite some time.

The Book Fair was held at the Food Court area which is now no longer operating [because of the C-19 Pandemic].

The temptation was too great to resist so I went home with just 5 books which cost me slightly over RM50. I successfully returned back a few books and chose the ones that I think I would read. Or perhaps the ones that I would read later when I have retired. 😊

VISITING A BOOK FAIR AT DANGA CITY MALL

After attending an official briefing at the District Education Office, I decided to drop by at a book fair held at Danga City Mall which was just nearby.  It was a fair done by Popular Bookstore.

I had a good walk in the hall. And I did not buy any books at all. 

I still have a mountain of books at home, bought last year and two years ago, still remained to be picked and read.

MEETING MR. BIG BAD WOLF FOR THE THIRD TIME

Sunday, 8th June 2014 ~ I was initially here at Danga City Mall to get books for my English classes. Today was the last day of the sale. The offer was good and I ended up buying a few books for myself. I still have books on the shelves at home that are waiting to be read for quite some time but the temptation to buy more was just too strong to resist.

catch of the day

Books for my English classes...

... and books for me.

I should start reading again. But there are just too many other things to do most of the time. *sigh*

SEEING MR. BIG BAD WOLF

Thursday 20th December ~ I really wanted to go to KL, to go to the Big Bad Wolf sale and buy my books. And someone wanted to tag along so that would make thing better. We arrived at The Mines Convention Centre after taking a taxi from TBS, and the taxi rate in Kuala Lumpur was much much higher than what we have to pay in JB.

When we entered the hall, there was a sea of books. Books, books, everywhere. One good thing, there were not many people around, most probably because it was a working day so browsing around the place posed no problem at all. The only problem was that there were too many books that choosing what you wanted to buy might become a challenge. The concept of never judge a book by its cover could not be applied here.

The biggest excitement, however, was when I got to see my old friends who were there to shop for books. It was just like a mini-reunion. (READ: Birds of a feather flock together). Even though it was just a short "hi" and "bye" session, we were just excited to be able to meet and take photographs. The most suitable time for the group's next gathering would be during the sale and I think we could get more people to come.

And I also met an ex-student there too from SPM batch 2009 when he called me. *famous* What a small world.

on our way out

I was really glad that I went to the Big Bad Wolf sale. And for all these books, I just had to pay RM168. My next mission: trying to read all the books next year but I am not complaining. I have started reading one already when I should already start doing my schoolwork.

When I retire from work later, I am going to buy more books and read all of them. *my earliest retirement plan*
