Fast forward. 8.55pm, ondway to JB and at Saleng got ping from this bugger at Senai airport. At first I feel happy bcoz this is my second Senai airport job so far in JB. 10min to pickup, then 5min later he cancelled. Lajiao lah. But its okay, I just drive to the airport and camp for a while. Then a lady SHL ping from Jalan Terkukur Bandar Putra. I told her 20min to pickup. She replies that she need to be at Taman Tun Aminah by 9.45pm. I ask her to cancel.
9.33pm, drive out from the airport without any passenger. Dear diary, its a dilemma and struggle for JB Uber drivers to find many many genuine jobs like in KL one. So sad want to cry but what to do. Then I go straight home via Jalan Skudai instead using Plus highway. Then miracle happens near Taman Tun Aminah where bad traffic jam due to major accidents. Then this bugger ping from Sutera Mall which is on the other side of Skudai Highway, to get to his location takes about 13min, then 1min he cancel. Lajiao. Good lah. Then KAT ping from Sutera Mall too, and she calls me, but I told her taking about 25min to get her bcoz not pass the accident area yet. She says she can wait wan. See my dear diary, not many Uber drivers at this moment. Then after that when I want to uturn I see there is also bad traffic jam on the other side of the Jalan Skudai towards Sutera Mall. I cancel, then she calls again asking why cancel, I told her cannot get her bcoz bad traffic jam. She says, "takper, takper," in Malay means "no what no what."
So, after frustared not getting any jobs from Kulai, I drive straight home. Update blog and sleep zzzz. Tomorrow is the last day in JB.
