Day 60 of the 60DWCC - McDonalds Salad for Dinner for a Change

The entire day gone by quickly like always. Do we only feel it when we are past 35 years of age? I have no idea but I really do feel the fast passing of time after I was 35 years old. Weird...

At evening time, THL and I meet up at the McDonalds nearby our place to get our dinner. We bought chicken salad from McDonalds and a McChicken burger for RK. The queue was relatively short for peak hour and we got our dinner all packed up within 10 minutes.

We had our dinner while catching up with our Korean drama. Spent the rest of the evening alternating between watching TV and Korean drama.

That's how we spent the final day of the 60DWCC. :)

Transport Expenses: $1.66

Home to Boon Lay Interchange (THL) => $0.83
Boon Lay Interchange to Home => $0.83

Expenses from Day 46 to Day 60 stand at $102.58 which is somewhat lower than last 2 weeks. 

The entire 30 days expenses for the 1st Month = #214.64
The entire 30 days expenses for the 2nd Month = $228.69

Hence the total expenses spent on transportation over the entire 60 days challenge amounted to $443.33 which is really a small fraction of the entire car expenses ($1700 x 2 = $3400) had we still own the SUV. Wow...

Daily Afterthoughts:

Today marks the end of the 60 Days Without Car Challenge. Although it has ended, THL and I feel that we should continue to track core daily activities and transport expenses. But we will not be updating it on a daily basis anymore. I will be providing the update every once a week highlighting some interesting happenings throughout the week and of course I will still collate and tabulate transport expenses we incurred for the entire week.

Will we be getting another car soon? The short answer is No for now. But who knows...the genuine need for it may spring on us soon, we will see.

Day 34 of the 60DWCC - Run for Money

THL and I have been watching a lot of 'Run for Money" series recently. "Run for Money" is a Japanese variety show feature a group of 15 people who will each win $1 million Yen if they can remain free after a 90 minute ordeal where the "Hunters" will be out hunting for them.

Once a person get seen by a "Hunter", he or she has to run as fast as he could to escape being tapped by the "Hunter". Once he or she gets outrun by the "Hunters", he or she will be threw into "Jail" - a holding area for those being tapped by the Hunters. The remaining person who remains free by the end of the 90 minutes will walk away a $1,000,000 Yen richer.

As it is a Sunday morning, THL and I went out to get some food and necessities home and watch another episode of the  "Run for Money" series while eating breakfast with RK. The afternoon went by quickly with me working on my project while THL does her household chores and RK doing his school and tuition homework. THL prepared lunch for us while doing her weekly household tasks and watching of her favorite Korean drama.

As we were too lazy to go out for dinner, I decided to went downstair to packet dinner home. While waiting for dinner to be ready, I dropped by one of the DVD rental shop and rented 3 DVDs (Thor, Grown Up 2 and Oblivion).

These are some movies that we have previously missed while they were being screened over the cinemas. We ate dinner and concluded the evening watching one of the DVDs.

Transport Expenses: $0

Daily Afterthoughts:

If you have been following our 60DWCC, you would have noticed that we tend to stay at home at least one of the weekends - either Saturday or Sunday. Is this because we have gone car-less and it is mentally and physically tiring to go out on both days? Maybe... to be honest it does not really matter now because we know we are no longer spending thousands of dollars on transport expenses over the past month and it really feels good spending that money on foods and clothing instead of fuels, car-park fees, road tax, etc...
