You might be wondering why am I posting something related to shopping. You might think that I am a freak or something. After reading this post, you will get your answers and I will get recognition. After you celebrate Thanksgiving with your family, you wait till midnight for the craziest sale ever. In Cinderella, the princess had to rush home because all her magical will be gone after midnight. Black Friday means that all shops open its doors at the stroke of midnight with huge sales on its products.
I decided to tag along with my friends because I had nothing better to do. At this time, I probably would be sleeping but I wanted a change and I needed to get out of o'boring Oxford. We went to Jeffersonville mall which is an hour drive from Oxford. This mall is an outlet mall and it suited me. The drive was relaxing until we reach the destination. From afar, we saw a massive traffic jam. I guessed we are in for some torrid time.
Let me make some comparisons between Malaysia' traffic jam and Jefferson mall traffic jam. Malaysia: people randomly making their own parking places, everybody overtaking each other, honks beeping, people swearing and etc.
Jefferson: Everybody park at the desired place, cars patiently lining up in line, no honks beeping, and no swearing.
We found a parking place and we reached the outlet mall. From there, we parted and went our separate ways. First, I went to American Eagle Outfitters and brought a jacket. It was on SALE....damn!!I got lucky...I walked to Van Huesen and this place was even better. All items were 50% off and adding icing to the cake, Van Huesen added 20% more on all goods. I brought a coat that originally cost $150 but I only paid $34. That a good deal. I looked at my watch and it was 3,00am. (yes 3am)
I walked further again and went to Puma, Nike and Adidas to look for shoes. To my amaze, everything was on sale. Surprise, Surprise! But, I did not get anything from there. Shoes was not neccessary for me because I have enough shoes. The time on my watch says 4am and I am still wide awake. At Puma, I saw my SAT friend and Ivan's cousin, Mun Yi. We exchanged greetings and she parted ways. Then, I met Dexter, my Futurekids friends. I realized that I seen a lot of Ohio State Universities. Go Buckeyes!!
I think the craziest shop was Coach....People queue up in the cold for an hour just to get in and splurge themselves by wearing and showcasing their expensive bags and wallet. The rich and the famous, bleah!!!
Finally, at six, we decided that it is time to stop shopping and head back home. I officially love Black Friday shopping because of the amazing sales. I will mark my calendar next year and hope to go again with my shopping list of things to buy....I did not know shopping would be so fun...haha!!Now, I understand......
