Big Bad Wolf November 2021 @ HERO Market Puchong

November 18, 2021 0

Yes! Big Bad Wolf Sales is back! Best time to shop for loads of books for yourself and your loved ones because Christmas is near! And this time Big Bad Wolf Sales is held from 15th to 28th November 2021 at the latest and newest Hero Market at Bandar Puteri, Puchong in Malaysia.


I love this place because of its ample parking space and seamless experience through the parking and the mall that makes shopping a breeze! My son was super delighted to come here. I actually came two times and brought each of my son separately because I spent a Daniel's day and Jayden's day at Big Bad Wolf!


I told them beforehand that this day is just gonna be the two of us and is for us to bond and communicate and for me to also get to know them better and just spend these precious moments with them. Making them feel that they are equally important. This is important for parenting especially if you have more than 1 child in the house. 


So the first day I was with Daniel and he was super happy to have one whole day with me out. As parents, leading by example is important, that's why I pick Big Bad Wolf Books Sale rather than playgrounds or play areas because books can be a magical place for a child to widen their horizon and knowledge further and beyond anyone's imagination! This exposure is crucial to start from young. And I definitely want my child to have a habit of reading from a young age.


We had loads of selfie and wefie and I took a video of him throughout the entire hall on Level 1. For both my sons. And I noticed two of them are very different in their decision making, their preferences and even the way they react and respond to different situations. I definitely gotten to know them better and even found a similarity in their preferences as they both chose the same book that they both like and feel like their brother will like it too. I was a proud parent at Big Bad Wolf because I was able to see my children inhibit really good values that I have always been wanting them to have, like sharing, looking out for another, considerate, make decisions, persistency, consistency and understanding.


My eldest is a more loving brother and he really acts like one as he will always have his younger brother and sister on his mind. It was never always about him and he leaves no one behind, this is the beauty of my eldest boy. He is also understanding and takes instructions by heart, he is also cheeky and playful but in a super cuddly way. Daniel will persist to look for what he already set his mind on and will consistently look for it, we couldn't find any Transformers related books here but he was willing to accept an alternative that is similar to it like Superheroes doodle book, so that he can draw the superhero and robots out. A balance of logic and creative. He buys only what he is looking for and spend within his means. He actually brought RM25 from his piggy bank when he heard I was taking him to Big Bad Wolf to shop for books.


My 2nd boy is more creative, sometimes over creative but that's where these books at Big Bad Wolf plays a huge part. He took RM30 from his piggy bank and honestly, he didn't have any restrictions or limits. He sees whatever he likes and attempts to just put it in the bag first. If I weren't there, he definitely won't be able to pay for whatever he wants. He has a huge abundance thinking for sure. He really believes, mommy grows money on trees and it's true, I won't deny that. However, he shops for all the books that he will enjoy, his little sister will enjoy and even his big brother Daniel will enjoy too. So I'm definitely happy that my son's, both of them are not selfish. But this boy is easily swayed, yet he won't give up either. He is two handful but a charming young boy!


So we bought lotsa books for sure. Along the way I was able to spend precious moments with my children and also I was able to know them better. In return, I was also able to teach them the values of picking up a book and also the spending methods that they should know of. I told them that if you want to earn, you need to have the power of knowledge as mommy already have the business platform laid out for them, they only have to grow in their knowledge and that is the first step through picking up a book to read and participate.


I went during the weekdays because it was lesser crowd but I would say the space is spacious enough and not jam-packed, rest assured all SOP is in place if not, I wouldn't even dare bring my kids along. But it was 2 days worth spent at Big Bad Wolf. If you are a parent like me with kids, I encourage you to plan your trip with them over here, it'll be worth it.


So head over before it ends!

BookXcess @ MyTOWN Shopping Centre

October 15, 2021 0

Have you heard about the latest BookXcess outlet in MyTOWN Shopping Centre? If you haven't then let me bring you through this beautiful place that will blow your mind away in an aesthetic kind of feel.


Firstly this is a place where it is a safe haven for everyone. You will be able to find a space or a corner that you can find comfort in. Entering the premises you will find the window display is truly a piece of art and how the flow of the structures and a cute Ronald McDonald character look-a-like is being displayed it truly a work of art. In fact, designers who were assigned to this space are given the challenge to be creative and design out-of-the box. Only when the design is complete then they fill it in with all the books and arts all over.


Secondly this place will somehow or rather encourage you to pick up atleast 1 book to take home with you. I picked up tons! Especially for my kids. And there's also stationaries too, which is the first bookstore in BookXcess chains to have stationaries available. 


Thirdly, if your spouse dislikes books, just bring them over. They will eventually fall in love with one soon. The entire place is welcoming, warm and just zen to just hang out over a cuppa hot coffee or tea at the Piazza while you watch over your loved one roaming about looking for their favourite author or genres. And if you are an art lover then this is it. 


There's an art passageway below the Piazza that takes you through the local arts showcased by local artists in Malaysia that you can bring them home with you.


I love how spacious the entire space is and how the floating bookshelves or towering bookshelves look as a whole. It is all properly labelled so that it is easy to locate your author at the designated book genres labelled on the shelves in text and color codes of Fiction and Non-Fiction. They also have island bookshelves and friendly bookshelves that is easily accessible for shorty like me. If you need a book that is too high up for you to reach, rest assured there is a step stool that you can access to or you can always ask a friendly customer service to assist you.


It is also a place to unleash your creativity where you can request for the music sheets at the counter to have a go at the piano. Sometimes when you need that lil spark to ignite an idea that's cooking in your head, then this is definitely a place you gotta be in.

Be careful of your steps though. Even though it is aesthetic as there are many pebbles and pathways, rest assured that BookXcess also put into thought of your safety and they have warning signages set up at places where you may turn a blind eye upon and use as a shortcut that may be dangerous for you. So always follow the path and always walk on the path, don't take shortcuts because there's no shortcuts in life.


Inside there's also Ume Tei, a japanese restaurant from its humble beginnings and it's been 25 years they've been around in Malaysia. From a lovely couple from japan, you will be delighted to enjoy authentic homecooked japanese meals here at this outlet as the chef is directly from Okinawa, Japan!

There's also a cafe inside the bookstore called Whisk cafe, where you get to enjoy a nice hot cuppa beverage with deliciously lip-smacking cakes to satisfy your sugar-cravings. It's located right next to the Piazza where it is another separate section inside the book store that is a co-working space that is open to anyone who wants to come and just gather, brainstorm some cool ideas or even a place to network. This is also a great place for your other half to wait at and eventually they may take a stroll around and pick up a book in their hands like my husband! (hahaha) It's the only BookXcess outlet with 2 outlets a cafe and a restaurant inside.


There's also these hand drawn mousey paintings below the pillars, so be sure to try and spot them and see how many you can spot them. I thought it was stickers but its completely hand drawn! That is truly creative and intriguing also to have them at random spots under the pillars. There's a space near the Ume Tei restaurant that actually has the Art Installations corner, where you will see collaboration with local artist showcasing their artworks, in this area it is the Tiang, there are 16 Tiang here that are each unique and represents the Fountain of Hope. And BookXcess wants to be a foundation to the art community as well. 


If you notice a colorful elephant next to Ume Tei restaurant, don't be surprised but appreciate its uniqueness as it is painted and it is one of a kind, in support of the Elephant conservation. Changing the world one book at a time is the idea that BookXcess has for every one of their bookstores. 


What I like is as you enter the outlet, you will see posters and pop arts that you can purchase them home and these are not like your ordinary posters that will wear and tear overtime. These posters are like high gloss canvas types where you can remove and install/hang them easily. 


The pricing of the books are truly affordable as we also gotten a few books on hand during our visit here and they have a centralized cashier counter at the center which is not too hard to miss. Don't forget to sign up as a member if you haven't for additional discounts and rewards! I signed up for sure!


Another feature of this space that I love is the kids section. There's a cute bathtub that has the bathbooks in it where it shows that even kids can also have a fun and knowledgeable bath time too with these waterproof books! Who said bath must be boring! And the way the children section is created, is also for parents with prams/strollers that they can push along the ramps without troubles and even your toddler in the prams/strollers can also browse at the books along the way too because it is reachable even for the lil ones in their prams/strollers. Because reading is a good habit that starts from young. And if your child picks up a book and wants you to read it for them, no parent will say no to that for sure!


There's 13 bookstores all over Malaysia by BookXcess and all 13 are of different unique designs, if this space isn't to your liking then try another, there is ought to be one that will come to your liking for sure! And if they manage to make a non-reader become a reader, their goal is accomplished! Because kncwledge has power and BookXcess wants to create a community space for people to gather. Be a part of the whole experience to enjoy the environment. The aim is for Malaysians to be the next generation of readers. Many who comes over to BookXcess comes for a few reasons but most are for inspiration, motivation and some even escapism.


So visit a BookXcess outlet near you today because I'm sure that there will be one that you will surely be attached to like how we grown attached to this BookXcess outlet in MyTOWN Shopping Centre.
