Big Bad Wolf Book Sale Jakarta 2016

I was just finished accompanying hubby speak in Indonesia E-commerce Summit & Exhibition in ICE, when I saw some gentlemen were busy setting up display of imported books. I knew they must be preparing for Big Bad Wolf Books, but I didn't knew that they are the gentlemen behind that world's greatest book sale!

MY LUCKY DAY !!! Accidentally met the founders of @bigbadwolfbooks Andrew Yap who was setting up the preview with the team for 10 days biggest imported book sale exhibition 📚 #books #sale #bigbadwolfbooks

It was an honor for me to meet them personally. They even took us to the venue, where I saw 1,5 books were delivered by 40 containers! Along the way from IESE venue to BBWB venue, Andrew Yap explained to us the story behind this fenomenal book sale in Malaysia, and he also introduced us to his wife slash partner, Jacqueline Ng. Very friendly and nice people!

I introduced Andrew to my husband, and also to Ahmad Fuadi, the famous book writer whose book has became a movie. He introduced us to his wife Jacqueline who's also his partner in @bigbadwolfbooks 📚 #books #sale #exhibition

Of course, I didn't waste my golden chance. Such a priviledge to be the first among millions of #BBWB visitors! No queue, no mess, no packed crowd yet. And of course, I brought my big luggage with me :)

Let the book hunt begins!! @bigbadwolfbooks #bigbadwolfbooks #jakarta

I spent 9 hours in #BBWB from 11pm to 8pm! 2 times break for meals and toilet. I really didn't care that my cellphone is out of battery since lunch time. After a few hour you'll get dizzy looking at the books, so have a break outside and enjoy your meal. You can also charge your gadgets in Mandiri booth.

Udah dulu ya laporannyaa.. Mau baca eh belanja duluu.. Besok dibuka untuk umum 30 April - 8 Mei, khusus weekend buka 24 jam! Enjoyyy!! @bigbadwolfbooks #bigbadwolfbooks #jakarta

Turned out, the medium sized luggage was not enough! Unfortunately I had to eliminate one full trolley because I didn't want to bring an extra box with me.

Ternyata pemirsa.. Udah bawa koper segede ini masih ngga muat 😅 Terpaksa eliminasi 1 troli lagi 😂 @bigbadwolfbooks #bigbadwolfbooks #jakarta

But still, I'm happy. From 5mio budget, I only spent less than a half of it for 45 items of (mostly) imported books!

45 items of (mostly) imported books that I bought at pre-opening sale @bigbadwolfbooks #jakarta last Friday, total cost around IDR 2,2mio 👍🏼📚😊

What I Learned from Timothy Tiah - Founder of Nuffnang

Last Sunday when I entered VIP room at JWEF , I was introduced to this guy with his mini version boy on his lap, and his pretty wife with white top and red skirt. We had chit chat and he told me he’d be in Jakarta this Tuesday, and I told him that we’d have 57th #Startuplokal Monthly Meetup on Tuesday night. To be really honest, only a very few did I know about him until he shared his amazing story on JWEF stage a few minutes later, and get inspired that I took note and now share this with you all. Timothy Tiah founded Nuffnang with Cheo Ming Shen at 2006 when he was 22 years old, with 150k RM startup capital, partly borrowed from his father. He simply founded it because there’s nobody built it before, while the demand was actually there. The site was launched in February 2007. Sales ≠ cashflow On earlier years, although Nuffnang sales highrocketed, the cashflow was poor. At one point he only has 5k left in bank, while there were invoices need to be paid out urgently. He came to Hon...

Perawatan wajah dan cerita masa muda

Andaikata blog dan social media saya punya semacam FAQ (Frequently Asked Question, alias pertanyaan yang paling sering ditanyakan), sudah pasti di urutan pertama akan bertengger pertanyaan: "Pakai produk perawatan wajah apa?" Banyaaaakkk banget follower instagram / facebook / twitter saya yang nanya gitu, dan minta saya mengulasnya. Saya bilang sabar, tunggu tanggal mainnya. Tapi sebelum saya jawab pertanyaan itu, saya mau mengenang masa muda dulu ah.. Jadi begini cucuku... Waktu pertama kali ngeblog 15 tahun lalu , usia saya masih 21 (yak silakan dihitung usia saya sekarang berapa, pinterrrr). Jadi jangan heran kalo gaya bahasanya masih 4I_aY 4b3zzz.. (eh ga separah itu juga sih, hehe). Tapi ekspresi nulisku di masa-masa itu masih pure banget, nyaris tanpa filter. Jadi kalo dibaca lagi sampai sekarang pun masih berasa seru sendiri. Kayak lagi nonton film dokumenter pribadi. Kadang bikin ketawa ketiwi sendiri, kadang bikin mikir, kadang bi...

[gallery] Kakek tua ini mondar mandir menjajakan tisu kepada semua orang yang sedang menunggu di Halte Stasiun UI. Tongkat besi membantu langkah kakinya yang hitam keriput. Saya tidak butuh tisu, tapi saya punya selembar duaribuan. Ya bolehlah, siapa tau nanti butuh. Saya berikan lembaran itu, dia serahkan satu bungkus tisu. Kemudian dia duduk persis di samping saya. Menaikkan kaki, merogoh sesuatu dari kantongnya, kemudian… Memantik api dan menyalakan sebatang dji sam soe. Aduh kakek, jadi capek2 jualan uangnya buat dibakar ngerusak tubuh doang?
