Would you be able to survive on S$5 a day... in SINGAPORE?

a very interesting read today,

Would you be able to survive on S$5 a day? from http://sg.entertainment.yahoo.com/blogs/singapore-showbiz/able-survive-5-day-162447729.html

personally, I have my reservations on how this could be done... Singapore leh... 
BUT i think S$5 for meals only is possible BUT then will it be a trade off and one got to SACRIFICE his/her health?

i crack my head and below is the best I can come up with...

- braving the hot n humid / windy n rainy weather to walk  to mrt station / bus stop : free + travel to work (return trip) : minimum S$0.73*2 = S$1.46 (its S$3.50 for me; left only S$1.50 to makan!!)
- walk to work : free 
- from 24/jun/13 - 23/jun/14, free travel for commuters who tap out at designated stations before 7.45am on weekdays, excluding ph, thus only need to pay for 1 way travel : S$0.73

with only S$1.50 for meals...

-breakfast : cereal from pantry area

-lunch N dinner : S$1.45 + drinks from pantry

Cost: 
Fish ball - S$1.20 for 10 fish balls (S$0.12/ fish ball, 2 for lunch 3 for dinner) = S$0.60
Fish cake - S$1.20 for 3 pcs (S$0.40/ fish cake, 1/3 of a cake for lunch 2/3 for dinner) = S$0.40
Bee hoon - S$1.30 for 1 pk (1/3 of a pkt for 1 day) = S$0.45

but then if u are the lucky dude/babe living near work place or work in town and can benefit from the travel early for free scheme, hehx, you can have up to S$3.50 more to spare for your meals. haha!

and after work... cannot go shopping hur, if not budget *pop*

must crack brain for FREE  activities...

OMG! so its really possssibbllleee... but erm... will I (or u) do it?
