BOOK Fairs

[mummy of 2]

I see another potential member for our BA

Actually when I buy from overseas, I usually ask friends who are coming back to carry back; or I'll be the mule.


No clue about shipping in china (or even if it can be trusted). Yup, my last trip I specially checked out the prices in dangdang before deciding if I want to lug it back.

FYI, books in Malaysia. I think are cheaper than in SG. I like to buy chinese books in Malaysia since quite a few of those are printed there. Can use popular card also. yet another place to stake out.

Yah, books not cheap at all; but buying at sales can make a whole world of difference. Eg, Little Men books retail for $7 at MPH stores; it was going for $1.80 (after all discounts). :!:

Honestly we should just borrow off each other...I think the few BA potentials can open library liao. Just that the stress of making sure my kids don't damage other pp's 'xin gan bao bei' gets me all worked up.

Plus tracking where our books are, and whose books we are holding on to :!:

I went to expo on sunday and i u-turn back home. messy and i got a headache... last year (or was it the year before?) i went on the first day and i managed to carry a trolley load of books out from the sale. I think i will go first day next year (if they have any). Now after reading hquek's review, regretted that I didn't make an effort to sort out the mess...


What is BA?

I also buy my kid's piano books from Malaysia's Popular too. its cheaper and can still get a discount using their popular card.

Little Men books at $1.80 per book??? gotta kick myself!

BA = books anonymous. Supposedly something that should help book crazed pp along. But seems like all we are (or rather I am) doing is to egg each other on by sharing where got best deals. :?:

Well, if you find everything a mess; one tip. Follow the staff unloading new books - there may be something you want. If they are unpacking from pallet even better. OR, resort to looking through the discarded boxes. There may be good finds in there that pp don't want. Please check if the box belongs to anybody first....dunwan to cause a fight.

Yah, now DH also scared of me when going Malaysia. I borrowed other pp's popular card the last time round.

It's ok lah, they will have that again I'm sure....have seen the LMLM series quite many times.

So, what's your damage from MPH this time, hquek?


I didn't get to go eventually..

All of us unwell.

Popular Malaysia sale! :!:

It was the worst ever - damage done to my card. I think I went berserk at the idea that things were cheap, also needed shopping therapy, so vented it during mph.

oh dear! I hope you all get well soon.

My wish also....they have that once a year thing in KL - like the one in suntec. I'm waiting to see if I'm crazy enough to go there for the sale (plus the food lah).
