Outside scene.

They came as early as 8.30am hoping that early bird gets the worm but the saying isn’t true for many as the crowd went on a frenzy dash as soon as the opening ribbons were cut.

Cerito kek dalam.
Siang-siang lagi staf JJJ bersiap sedia menunggu kehadiran mereka kat luar. 

Inside scene.

The friendly and well trained staffs of JJJ are more than ready to welcome the onslaught of the shoppers.

Saat-saat yang dinantikan upacara memotong riben dan selepas itu sila tonton video dibawah.

 The moment they all been waiting for, the cutting of the ribbons and after that please watch the video below.   

Ramai tak perasan gandingan brader berdua ini, mereka adalah pembeli yang terbesar pada pagi itu.

No one paid much attention to these two but they are the biggest shoppers of the hour.

They knew exactly what to hunt and snapped up loose golf sticks and golf sets by the trolley-load.

Yang nak boli kayu golf set tu kono tunggu next round ye sbb yang best tu dah hampir abis kono sauk oleh diorang.

Those wanting to buy golf sticks and set would need to wait for the next shipment because these guys swept most of the good stuffs.

They knew exactly what to hunt and snapped up loose golf sticks and golf sets by the trolley-load.

They bought two sets of fully stacked giant trolleys and the first load is being rolled out much to the amaze of the Japanese executives and they were grinning from ear to ear with the big sales. Ka ching!

Foto-foto Kaki Preloved tengah beraksi.

Photos of preloved hunters on the prowl.

Welcome to the shoe department where you’ll never find two pairs that are alike.

Pelbagai jenis kasut-kasut berjenama dengan saiz rambang dimuatkan di rek bertingkat jadi pandai-pandailah anda memilih dan keunikannya tiada dua pasang kasut yang serupa semuanya berlainan. 

The multiple rows of preloved shoes, most of it are branded, comes in all sorts of sizes, your mission is to hunt for the limited edition ones and the size that fits you. You need to be fast and a sharp eye to spot it. 

Terserempak dengan sebuah pasangan peminat besbol, suami kumpul sarung besbol sampai 3 bakul dan isterinya pula memegang kayu besbol seolah-olah memastikan suaminya tidak bermain kayu tiga 😆😆😆

A pair of husband and wife baseball collector, the husband amassed about 3 baskets of baseball gloves while the wife was holding a baseball so can you guess who’s the boss.

Kepelbagaian di sini...

Variety is King here.

Kalau nak cakap pasal beg Hermès Birkin tu takde lah tetapi ada jugak beg-beg berjenama lain yang cukup menarik untuk anda.

Sorry to disappoint you there ain't no Hermès Birkin bags hanging around but I’m sure you could find certain branded bags at dirt cheap prices.    

Sayang sokali sobab pantai terdokek Podiksen tiado ombak bosar untuk surfing klu tidak pastinya ghamai dah sauk surfboard tu.

Too bad the nearest beach in Port Dickson doesn't have big waves for surfing otherwise these babies would be flying off the shelves.

Forget the soft toy vending machines these are the real deal and way cheaper.

Barangan rare yang kamu jumpa tu sila simpan elok-elok dalam bakul sebab berlakunya kes orang lain kebas barangan dari bakul salah seorang shopper dan tercetusnya pergaduhan antara mereka.

Nasib baik masalah tersebut berjaya diselesaikan oleh staf Jepun yang petah bercakap dalam Bahasa Malaysia. Well done.   

Keep those rare items close to yourself as someone may just snag it from your shopping basket because I saw it happened and a quarrel broke out.

Luckily the Japanese staffs were quick to diffuse the situation as they spoke fluent Bahasa Malaysia which really help to ease the tension.

Taking a breather. 

Rilek jap.

Many were seen taking a breather and the same time to inspect the quality of the goods before heading to the counter as the items are non-exchangeable.

Sebelum ke kaunter bayaran kenalah periksa dahulu barangan preloved sebab setelah bayaran dibuat ia tak boleh ditukar.

~~~~~~~#######~~~~~~~#######~~~~~~~~

Moh kito sambung cerito shopping kek bahagian barangan mainan kete mini dan antara ratusan yang dijual ada jugak yang rare item jadi kono la tau kete mano yang harus dipilih. 

And the hunting continues on the other side of the store and these are miniature toy car collectors and they are really good in spotting rare items.

These collectible miniature cars managed to attract people from all walks of life both young and old.

It is obvious he's into car scale model 1:18

Scrutinizing the 'Impreza' 

The guy on the phone was busy consulting with his friend and after their conversation he ended up buying around 50 over pieces of miniature cars.

~~~~####~~~~#####~~~~~

The locked showcases.

I was instantly attracted to these locked showcases as it holds many prized merchandise in good condition. 

You'll also need to fend off others from grabbing what you're eyeing and so I imitated the guy that hogged the showcase with the exclusive Kamen Rider Henshin belts. 

He wrapped his arms around the glass door and said to all the preying eyes surrounding him 'These are all mine! And you can have your turn when I'm done with it!' 

And the most fretful moment is when the sales assistant comes to unlock the case, this would be the time when you need to quickly put your hand in and grab or else others may just snag it under your nose.


Showing you some of the stuffs that is locked inside the showcase. 

Anello bag in pristine condition only RM60 and the Original Star Wars hand carry bag for only RM40

You’ll never know what you're gonna find and my Gosh a pair of Jimmy Choo's!
Kasut Jimmy Choo pon ado!

Pre-loved Birkenstock for only RM80 a pop. 

After you've got your hands on these locked items the sales assistant will give you a piece of paper for you to write your name and telephone number for verification purposes. 

Then the item will be sent to the cashier under the 'KEEP' department and you'll need to pay at the cashier within 3 hours otherwise the 'KEEP' item will be put back on sale.

Selepas penat bershopping tibanya masa untuk membuat bayaran namun queue pula tersangat panjang dan ada yang terpaksa menunggu sehingga 3-4 jam untuk sampai ke cashier. Kesiannya mereka dan apatah laie dalam bulan poso. 

Nasihat saya apabila queue dah mula panjang sorang tu beraturlah dulu dan tukar giliran untuk bershopping. 

By the time many were done with the shopping the queue had already snaked around the store and some had to wait for 3-4 hours to pay. And so here's the tip when the queue is starting to get long please get someone to queue up first and then take turns to shop. 

And lastly the best feeling I had shopping at this 20,000 sq ft store would be the moment when I spot a rare item and snagged it before someone else does gives me the sense of euphoria that instantly hit the roof.

And as for some that would keep returning to JJJ over and over again would post this on their timeline.

Not everything is preloved as there are plenty of new stuff too you just need a good eye to spot it like this pair of Japanese chopstick buried among the pile of preloved rubble.

It's made from a tree branch where both sticks are different in sizes, one is thicker than the other and the sticks are bended. Its one of a kind and truly rare, the price is only RM1.00

Bukan kesemua barangan di JJJ tu preloved ada juga barangan baru jadi kenalah pandai cari gali.

Ni sepasang chopstick Jepun ia dibuat daripada ranting pokok dan kedua-dua bilah saiznya berlainan dan bengkok sedikit. Memang rare ni dan harga cuma singgit jer.
