Baucar Buku 1 Malaysia (BB1M)

BB1M or 1 Malaysia Book Voucher is one of my favourite perks of being a student. others include student price for movies, bowling, karaoke and many more. so, who's saying that being a student doesn't have its advantages? so, here's  the chronicles how i get and spend all my BB1M in only a few days.


1. i went to get my voucher from OUM during lunch on the 14th april 2015. the total value of the vouchers is RM250.

2. this time around, we need to fill in our names, ic numbers and phone numbers before the vouchers could be verified by the university person. (there are a lot of cases where the BB1M receivers misused the voucher by selling it to a third party).

3. i always spend my vouchers at this one bookstore (kinokuniya) which i considered as my favourite bookstore. there are variety of books that hard to find in any other stores and the prices are somewhat cheaper. furthermore, i'm a member and i get 10% discount on all books.

4. since i would only be free during the weekend, i first survey the books that i want to buy online. i could get the prices (so i could estimate) and the shelf locations of the books. and you should verify the vouchers at the customer service counter before you could use them.

5. so, on that saturday after games of bowling with my secondary school's friends, i rushed to klcc excitedly. once parked, i went straight to the fourth level and stormed into the store. i executed my mission successfully (i need to pay extra for i bought comics and entertainment magazines) and below are the catch of that day.

in store price: RM83.92
KPC price: RM75.53

in store price:RM70.20
KPC price: RM52.65 (25%)

same as online price

in store price: RM71.30
KPC price: RM64.17

same as online price
RM20.80
RM27.00
RM7.42

in store price: RM12.00
KPC price: RM10.80

so, the final amount that i paid is RM298.70 = RM250 (book vouchers) + RM48.70 (cash).
