The Challenge: "Haven't seen you in a long time, buy me a drink!"

Not a good start to the challenge I must say. After putting in a double OT shift I decided to meet up with a friend whom I've not seen for many moons. First thing she says is "Hey long time no see, buy me a drink la!" Haha..there goes $11.70 or whatever it is in drinks at the Bean. Oh well.
I must say Im pretty pleased with myself though. I don't go out as often, and the times I do I don't go all out on food like I used to.

Well, $3 lunches and the occasional tuna over rice with cheese, microwaved. Total cost $2.40. Funnily enough it tasted good. Well better than the $4.50-$5.00 I used to spend on Thai food for lunch. Not like I had any choice. Why oh why did all the half-decent, quick-serving restaurants that decided to open in Jerudong had to be Thai beats me. And the decent Chinese restaurant nearest to where I'm stationed happens to be in Sengkurong, 15 minutes away. Don't you even dare to mention WYWY.

Anyway treated myself to a Root Beer float just now, $2.50. Man I'm splurging, hahaha. Doing this is starting to feel good in a way, its something I can use to micro-pace myself, mini-targets if you will, to the biggie. Stay tuned.
