I’ve finally got to physically be in the atmosphere of these massive GREAT DEALSSSSS! Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Price Match, Cashback, Tourist Tax Refund, etc. — these are the keywords of my life recently. I couldn’t manage to make the most use out of Black Friday in the previous years because the shipping fee to Malaysia would outweigh the discount given. And now I’m here in Adelaide, digging all the great deals and doing the calculation, I’ve upgraded some of my equipments and bought myself quite some outfits. Shopping has never been more fun ever. Yet, one can’t be so happy without paying any cost — I tested positive for Covid yesterday and I’ve been on the bed for the whole day.

黑色星期五，比價，退稅··· 這些是我這段時間生活裡的所有關鍵詞。往年的黑五我都因為運費打了退堂鼓，而今年的狂歡就是有意為之 —— 我從年中來澳洲前就開始準備著了。升級了一些設備，也買了幾身新衣服，天天就是做算術，找優惠，挖現貨。折扣拿瘋了、再不要臉地砍價、花錢也變得不那麼手軟，最後再心底說服自己畫的錢都是投資。當然了，這一切的狂歡還是有代價的 —— 往外跑多了，終於也陽了。疫情發生兩年多，終究栽在了阿德萊德這裡。
