anw,
did my budgeting for my trip in usa..
i spent sgd 3500 to come here,
inclusive of plane tix n program fees.
took out another sgd 1k to bring here,
coz gotta spend!!!
earned usd 3 point something k working for 12 wks,
spent usd 3 k on shopping n traveling.
netted only bout usd 900 bucks to bring back.
with approx usd 600 bucks for bonus.
(coming soon~)
and bout 3-400 bucks for tax?
so overall i still loogie money.


but heck!
for all the things i bought,
all the things i experienced,
all the friends i made,
all the places i got to go to,
and all of everything else!
i only spent sgd 1 to 2 k to get them all!
this is considered dirt cheap to me.


I LOVE THE EXPERIENCE I HAD IN USA!!!
