11.11 MEGA SALE!
Hello and Assalamualaikum,
Every year, I have been so fond of November mainly because November is my Birthday Month! (cough..its on the 14th..coughh) and also because November is an indicator that the year is coming to an end whereby school holidays are expected soon, Deepavali and Christmas holidays are next in line, husband will clear off many of his annual leaves hence more vacations and family time for us. And not to forget there will be lots of SALES coming up!
But sadly enough for 2020, November comes and I did not feel as excited as I were on previous years. I will be turning a year older in a few more days and I kept feeling like I have not yet accomplished many things in life. Maybe because I am feeling stressed out most of the time now. I kid you not, this CMCO is really taking a huge toll on me. It took away my motivation and sometimes I just feels like I am breaking down. With two toddlers, no additional income, online classes, kids' endless demands, a house to clean, a basket full of laundry, and meals to cook everyday, its just.. overwhelming. And not to mention, school holiday will only begins end of December, no grand celebration for Deepavali and Christmas, and obviously we can't go on a vacation - ALL DUE TO COVID-19.
But there is one thing to look forward to which is.....11.11 SALES!
Have you ever wondered why 11.11 SALES is highly anticipated, phenomenal and celebrated world wide? 11.11 was originally started as Singles Day in China because there is so much number 1 on that day's date. I guess this is considered as Valentines Day for the singles. Normally during this day, the singles will celebrates being single by having lots of fun, enjoy great food, out for movies, or simply having a fantastic day on their own or with friends. After a while, this trend catches up to other countries and stores began to have a lot of promotions and discounts on that day especially those online-based. The discounts offered were extremely generous! Most people have been waiting for this day all year round to buy things that they have been longing for. Some of my friends who had just moved in into a new house are anticipating to buy household appliances such as refrigerator, TV, dining sets and even beddings. These come out pretty cheap/reasonable during the 11.11 sale. I'd normally haul for make up and skincare items. My husband would buy his gaming stuffs, and kids' stuffs including diapers and milk. What's most exciting is, some stores even do early discounts and aftermath discounts meaning that it is not only on 11.11, but the rest of the days in November are having mega sales!
