Shagged out @ Nite

Edwin is Alex's younger brother. What a small world this is, especially on this little red dot. Went out with Edwin to SportsmenAsia to get his TEN by intense, however it was sold out.

Woke up on sunday morning and took a cab to gleneagles hospital for my assignment. Arrived at 8am and patient was already wide awake in bed. Saw my ex-classmate, Wilson - he was the night nurse. Chatt with him for a while and then took over. Rested for a while and the patient's wife came at 9am. She was surprised that i was there as she didn't request for a day nurse. A mis-communication occured. By right, i was supposed to charge a cancellation fee of $50, but then i just waived it for her as i didn't even do anything. Must one be so calculative in life? She asked to come back at night for night shift instead and i agreed.

I came back at night and she paid me my "salary" and gave me $20 as allowance for the morning. That was so nice of her. I declined, but she kinda forced it down me, so i gladly accepted it. At first, everything was fine.
