The sale was held at South City Plaza , Seri Kembangan. Reached there abt 9.10am, got a bit wet since it drizzled on they way. Not surprising, there were already people forming a queue. At least I was a shorter queue than last time (took 1 hour for me to get in last time)
Before the gates was open
By the time it was almost 10, the queue got so long. Was glad that I came early.
At 10am shard, the roller shutter were raised fully, and people were let in. Once I got in, got a box from the counter, went straight. Near the entrance, were stacks of Jefferey Archer's. Couldn't find any of his books at the last sale, so I 'tak kasi can' this time. Took all the titles that I don't have in my collection. At RM8 a book, it's at least 1/4 of the original price in a bookstore.
Went around looking for more books, saw my aunt and cousin there too, as well as my lady boss and her stepson. Before long, my box were full, and I had to leave my full box at Customer Service and get a new box.
Saw Inkheart and Inkspell, took them, but couldn't find the third book, Inkdeath. Pretty disappointed. Went around looking for more interesting book. As I was browsing through some books, a lady asked whether I want Inkdeath, as she saw I had only 2 of the series. She mentioned that she couldn't find the other 2 book, so she gave me her copy of Inkdeath. Nice lady!!! I didn't mention that there were loads of the other 2 books to her (evil me), but I did thank her profusely.
It was almost 12.30pm when I start queuing with my lady boss. And gosh, the queue was so long, all 5 of them. Took like 30 minutes waiting to get to the end of the line. After paying, went for lunch with my lady boss and my aunt. Lady boss belanja paper wrapped chicken at a restaurant nearby. Went back home after lunch. To my lovely new books.
Can more or less guess how much I spent. Looks like instant noodles for the rest of the month for me.
