Event - Big Bad Wolf Seremban


Big Bad Wolf has finally arrived from 27th June until 7th July, located in Mydin Mall, Seremban 2. We were so psyched about this event so decided to check it out.

How did the event go? Well, one word: "WHERE?!"

Before we get to that, let me tell you about the event.

It was around 8.00pm when we arrived at the BBW after having dinner. The choices weren't that many compared to their past events refering to the ones held in The Mines, Seri Kembangan. However, in terms of book organizing, they had improved. A lot of different genres can easily be found,  labelled neatly, although not always correctly.

The books were taken care of nicely. By nicely, dia jaga bagus - bagus lah. The books were sealed and didn't look damaged, meaning no teared cover, faded cover texts, and most importantly, they have book SAMPLES this time! So it's easy for you to briefly check the content of a book you want to buy.

Stuff We Bought from Big Bad Wolf

These are the stuff we bought from the event. Best purchase? Assassin's Creed Posters Collection. Oh FYI, just like in previous sales, they also sell wide choices of button badges as well but due to their No Photography warning signs, we couldn't take photos of the booths.

Throughout the event, overall it was so-so, a meh kind of event. Here's why:



1. Location Not Specified 

Yeah of course it's in Mydin Mall, it said in its Facebook page, but when we arrived, we did not see any buntings or banners displayed ANYWHERE inside, outside or around the mall.  We wasted 20 minutes of our lives searching for the place and still couldn't find it. We had to drive around (Yes, in our car) because we gave up walking, Turns out, it was at the parking lot BEHIND the mall. I don't know if it was the management of the mall's problem  but we expected banners everywhere or at least DIRECTIONS to the event. It's a continuous event, with no continuous improvement.

We had to DRIVE around the mall to find the specific location. What BBW? NO BANNERS?!


2. The HEAT

Because they made the event at the parking lot of the mall, we felt so uncomfortable as they did not provide enough ventilation. I mean how would you feel staying at a parking lot for hours? And since it's night time especially, a lot of people who just finished working would of course stop by to check the place out. So how do you think the place is going to smell like? Bau lah! At least pakai lah bah industrial fans sebiji dua kan?

3. Limited Choices of Books

The books were mostly for children and less for the adults. Paling - paling pun Adult Coloring section lah. The novels aren't as many as last time probably because they're not going to sell old stocks from past years? Hence why we did not buy a lot this time.

Overall: 6/10

Well, that's our review for the event. It's not great but it's not disappointing either. Do check it out if you haven't been to any Big Bad Wolf yet especially those who are nearby Seremban area.


Stay tuned for more reviews in the future!
