Black Friday in the US is craayyyzeyy. Yes, masa ni lah semua orang menjelajah and menapak ke tempat shopping, berkhemah a day before and bershopping after the clock ticks at12am.. Yepp. Hari sale paling gile kat US. Tapi sayangnya, our sponsor dah 2 bulan lambat tak bagi duit allowance. So, all of us end up takde duit. Oh wait. Is it just me? Kenapa aku rasa aku sorang je tak pegi mana-mana cuti seminggu ni? Oh geez.. U have no life!
There are many reasons kenapa aku tak keluar untuk cuti ni sedangkan orang lain berebut nak berjalan.
1) No money, no talk.
2) By the time dah ade duit sikit, it's too late to plan anything. Sume orang and sume kereta kawan-kawan dah full.
Maka that's why I end up duduk rumah sorang-sorang menggemukkan badan and leading my anti-social life. Duduk sorang-sorang takde hal, tapi bila mengenangkan yang jiran-jiran sume balik kampung, kau tahu tak perasaan ape yang menyelinap malam-malam? Perasaan INSECURE! Bayangkan duduk dekat satu kawasan yang kau tahu kau sorang je duduk dekat situ. Bila jalan malam-malam takde satu rumah pun yang berlampu kecuali rumah kau. Kau cuak tak? Of course lah I cuak. If anything happens, nak lari mana dik? Nak jerit dekat siapa? Seberani mana pun aku, bila bab macam ni lemah gak. Well at least, kalau aku tahu ade jiran kat sini selang 3 rumah pun takde hal. Masalahnya ni aku rasa aku sorang je ade kat sini. But the good thing is.. I SURVIVED! Yeahh.. Thanks to that someone who accompanies me every night before I sleep. (Though through BBM je)
Jalan yang sentiasa ceria jadi dull. Parking lot yang sentiasa full jadi kosong.
So, 5 hari 4 malam tanpa housemate what did I do? Oh syok betul.. There are soo many things that I did.
1) Skype dengan family. We played Roda Impian macam hapeee...
2) Golek-golek kat ruang tamu like nobody's business
3) Shopping beli makanan sahaja sampai boleh cecah $45. What the hell that I bought???
4) Marathon cerita Cake Boss for days on Youtube
5) Marathon How I Met Your Mother (walaupun ulangan)
6) Kemas rumah dengan happy :)
7) I baked Red Velvet
8) Kumpulkan semua duit quarter yang ada and buat koleksi quarter dollar coin ikut setiap state yang ade dekat US.
8 states are still missing... T_T
9) Buat video shawl tutorial (Oh snap. I shouldn't tell u this. This is supposed to be on the next entry!)
10) Black Friday shopping dekat Walmart and TJ Maxx
Like seriously I did some shopping? Yeppp.. Though dalam bank ade $200 je (note that I still haven't received my allowance for months already. Ni semua pakai duit sendiri.) tapi sanggup je nak shopping. Sedihh kan. Nasib baik allowance dapat 28hb ni.. Oh wait, it's tomorrow! Thank God!! Im so excited! Ok, back to story. Disebabkan takde duit tapi still nak merasa kemeriahan pertama kali shopping Black Friday, aku pun sanggup je bangun awal pagi.. Eh takdelah awal sangat, it's 8.30am but still I consider that as early cause time cuti mimpilah nak bangun seawal tu. Then, ambik bas, transit and ambik the second bus pulak, pastu baru sampai. All this by myself.
First stop, TJ Maxx. Ingat lagi first time aku jejak ke Tj Maxx, rambang mata kot. Semua brand-brand hebat and ternama ade dijual pada harga yang murah berbanding biasa. And when I say branded, haruslah semuanya cantik-cantik. Pasal tu la rambang mata.. Ihikss! Tapi kali ni datang, aku duduk dalam kedai ni for 2 hours and guess what I bought? Mesti tak sangka.. Oh you would love this... Aku beli....

Beg sekolah yang berharga $5.
That's all.
Is this the real me? Farah yang shopaholic yang rambang mata tapi end up keluar kedai with a receipt yang tertera USD5 je? Lollzzz.. Record baru! Ima legend. FTW.
I mean it's not that I was so cold, aku try cari handbag yang branded and still under budget, but still feeling nak beli tu takde. Like this time aku sangat rational. Well, 2 months without duit ni really does teach me something.
Next stop, Walmart pulak. Walmart just terletak sebelah Tj Maxx je. Kat sini pun aku spend time lama gila. Tapi sebab aku dah set nak beli apa, perkara tu dah save masa aku. Cuma aku banyak bazir masa duduk kat toy section untuk menghadap semua Barbie yang cantik-cantik and teramatlah murah. Pehal masa aku kecik dulu Barbie tak segrand macam sekarang? Mengapaa?? Sumpah masa ni aku dah siap-siap planning nak belikan diri aku Barbie yang collector's item punye sebab die sale sangat tak hingat dunia! Imagine Barbie untuk collection just $20-23 je.. Nangis... Tapi tak beli pun. Tunggu dah kaya sikit nanti aku survey balik.
So for Black Friday this year, aku cuma mampu beli...
1) Beg sekolah: $5
2) Winter coat murah: $20
3) Winter boot idaman hati: $14
4) Coklat Hershey's and Cadbury peneman kala study: $2.48 x 2
5) Barbie Vacation House hadiah birthday adik kesayangan: $30 (free shipping. yeay!)
6) Produk penjagaan muka from Clinique: $47 (free shipping and 3 free complimentary samples. another yeay!)
These are all what I needed to survive.
Barbie House for my sis.
Sengaja aku belikan yang lagi grand daripada hadiah harijadi aku dulu masa kecik-kecik. Cause I already inherited my Barbie house to her, so mestilah demand makin tinggi sekarang.
Tu saje yang mampu buat kali ni. Hopefully next year takdelah aku broke macam ni lagi so that aku boleh shopping untuk orang lain pulak and mampu nak travel pegi kedai best-best jauh-jauh. Hikhik.. So conclusion for my Thanksgiving break? Dull and lonely. But who cares as long as I have my me-time. Hooray for that!
