Sunny

Today was an exciting day! I woke up early in the morning, and as soon as I turned on my phone, I saw messages from friends about the big shopping event happening today—Singles' Day, or "Double Eleven" (双十一). In China, this day is not just for celebrating being single but also for massive online sales.

I had been waiting for weeks to buy some things that were on discount, like a new pair of headphones and a cozy blanket. As soon as the clock hit midnight, I started scrolling through Taobao and JD.com. It felt like everyone was shopping at the same time because the websites were super busy, and it took me a while to find what I wanted.

The prices were incredible! Some items were marked down by more than half their original price. But with so many deals available, it was hard to resist buying more than I needed. By the end of the day, I had spent quite a bit, but I still managed to get everything I wanted.

What made the experience even better was sharing it with friends. We compared notes on our purchases and joked about how much money we all spent. Some of them bought kitchenware, others electronics, and one friend even got a pet cat on sale!

Overall, it was a fun day filled with excitement and a little bit of chaos. I hope next year’s Double Eleven will be just as good—or maybe even better!

Goodnight!
