I realized I didn't post what happened through the last days of the week.
I basically felt a little sick on Day 5 but still went to the BBQ for some free food in exchange for some work done.
Day 6 the flu + sore throat combo kicked in full force. I still went to work and spent my last $3.50 on bottled water. Dinner was sponsored by a kind friend who owes me money anyway so that was a little :) on a bad day.
Balance left: -$1.50
Day 7 I couldn't take it and got Panadol Cold at $5.80. I had no idea those generic pills were so expensive and so terribly ineffective at making me feel any better. Pulled myself through work, went home and crashed.
Balance left: -$7.30
(BTW this Chinese Herbal Tea donated by a good friend is much better than Panadol Cold. Get it at your resident Chinese Medicine shop. 1 Bag makes 2-3 cups)
So it looks like I failed to keep within the $20 mark but hey, this still is easily the most economical week of the last 4 years of my life. I reckon I saved at least $30 there.
I guess the greatest thing I learnt was just how much I spend taking the taxi. This week alone, I've already spent $15.50 on taxi rides. I would have easily made the $20 mark if i took public transport instead :(
So once again Mr. Ong, manage your time well please and you can be a rich kid!
