It's Black Friday...
So... I woke up this morning at about 5.30am... the headache was gone... and I'm a happy man again...
I started browsing through the online deals available... bestbuy(R), Staples(R)... and many more... and of course woot.com (R)... but nothing really that good a deal... got some blank dvds and that's about it...
went back to bed...well, as I've not been having a good chance to sleep so much, i'm definitely not going this thanksgivings holiday to go 'unslept'...
next thing i knew, it's about 10.30am... checked the bus schedule online, and it said that the next bus to the Briarwood Mall was at 11.23am... so, I left my room at 11am and started walking towards Central campus... it was snowing lightly... and it's kinda chilly too... It's been -7Celcius(about 20 Fahrenheit) all day long...and a bit windy... could be worse...
I reached the bus stop at 11.20am, and the bus came right on time... got on the bus, and reached the Mall at 11.36am... the mall was quite crowded(as expected, it's Black Friday...why black? that's because it's where the shopkeepers are having surplus... their account books are in black... as oppose as in red(which is in deficit)... so, black is good... The day after Thanksgivings, that's today(Black Friday) marks the start of the Christmas shopping...and it's also one of the nationwide greatest sales... that's why I'm all out for it too... ;P
So, I started with my favorite shop there, Expressmen(R)... they were having sales, which was too bad... sweaters with $10-15 off, and 2 tees for $29.50, and I got another jacket because they were giving out free scarfs and beanie with $75 purchases or more...
then, I headed to JCPenney and got socks... 6 pairs of them..
on the way back, I met Elaine, and Julie... where they were heading to catch movieS....(plural) Since I got nothing much to do...(other than 2 papers to write, and 1 abstract...) I decided to follow their movie marathon too... we first watched Just Like Heaven... featuring Resee Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo... then, Corpse Bride...(knowing that Lili loves Johnny Depp, I gave her a call earlier and asked her to join us for this movie... and after all, it's only $1 for a movie...) really nice for them to have this Dollar Movie Theatre... where all the movies shown are $1 per show...(although those shows are not the newest, but they are good shows...) well, if they are shitty shows, u can choose not to watch it...so, this will be my place to hang out for the winter weekends...(where there's no more college football)...
after the first movie, I grabbed a bite at Sbarro... and then, Elaine and Julie and I went shopping again... well, i was just tagging along... I went to Sears and got 2 towels... somehow, Lili saw us there... and then, we went for the second movie...
after we were done with the 2nd movie, Julie and Elaine were still going strong and going for the third movie...Flight Plan, while I decided to call it quit, and Lili and I left... after she went into Abercrombie and Fitch and got a pair of Jeans...
we got back to Campus at about 6.05pm... went to West Quad and had dinner... shitty dinner.. me ended up eating 2 bowls of cereals and salad...
I got back to my room at about 7pm... started surfing again, and at about 8pm, I went to CCRB(Central Campus Recreational Building) to lift some weights... and then, got back at 9pm... bathed, did laundry, watched an episode of Apprentice, and followed the Pistons match, and then, found that they lost... now, their record is 9-2... and watched another episode of the apprentice... and it's midnight... and I'm writing this now... i'll be continuing with my UROP research paper now...
so, i'm $140 poorer.. but, i'm kinda happy with what I got...
there's another tempting deal in my cart at buy.com(R) currently... but i don't think i'm going for it... I don't think i will pay $90 for a headphone... although it's already $50 dollar off... but still.. it's a $90 headphones... no... i'll throw it out of my cart now... before I do something stupid...
haha...:P
Tadaa... this was my Black Friday...

Hi Voon Seng. I'm using this 'badminton racquet' related site to contact people for advice on buying a badminton racquet. Do you know of any other site where I might get such advice? Many thanks
