Dear diary, today I will try Grabhitch for the first time in KL while sending daughter to work. I got few requests on the trip, but I choose only 1 rider.
7.30am, ALY on GRABHITCH at Sri Ayu Apartment sending to Menara Tokio Marine. She likes to talk and talk. This trip she got rm5 Merdeka promo ride. Later she wants to drop off at LRT Ampang Park on Intercontinental Hotel side. "It's easier for you go straight sending daughter," she tells me. Of course my dear diary, I appreciate her gesture. "Last time uncle," she tells me story, " the Grabhitch driver wants me to pay rm10 eventho I got promo code for free ride! I dont want to argue la, I just pay him."
8.50am, FAZ at Flat PKNS AU3 Blok 10 going to LRT Setiawangsa. The young Malay guy so happy bcoz now Grabcar got many promotions for the riders. "Grab manyak syok ho! LRT promo la, now Merdeka promo la, la la la" he laughs and laughs. Lajiao la Mat.
Camp at Masjid Setiawangsa to relieve myself.
9.25am, ZIA at Jalan Setiawangsa 1a going to Jalan Puncak Kiara Utama and later sending to Surian Tower The Curve.
10.08am, LCC at Palm Sprin Damansara. She put a note, "will be waiting at the second gate next NKVE, not main gate, not 7-11 gate," but still confused me. Charcheebye. Later inside the cab, I tell her to simplify the note. And ironically also, the Grabcar apps indicates the correct PJ Trade Center, but the Google Maps and the Waze showing the wrong location. Kannina. But since she knows the place where she's working, she just leads the way.
10.26am, NKZ at Kampung Penchala Link going to KL Sentral. When arrive at the pin, calling her, and she telling me to pickup further far far inside Jalan Kampung Penchala Indah. Bugima, but luckily, she is a pretty girl so I calm down myself. 2 pax.
10.53am, OLG at KL Sentral wants to go UM Kolej 2 Tuanku Bahiyah. Then later she requests to send them to LRT University, then changes her mind to send direct to MidValley City Mall. I follow.
Camp at Petronas AU2 Taman Keramat for ron95, rm38 (22liter).
Noon break.
3.35pm, HNI at LHDN Jalan Duta going to KL Sentral. Her note, "pickup at pintu D, will see cimb bank."
3.56pm, STV at Compass Offices Menara Shell sending to Saville @The Park, Bangsar South.
4.16pm, HAN at Pantai Hillpark Phase 1 sending to Bangsar Shopping Center. When asked about her nice perfume, she says, "it's very cheap Amber, I am glad uncle like it."
5.15pm, got ping from SZA at Jabatan Imigresen Jalan Duta. The preggy mom is quite upset with the Immigration department jilake. "Aiyah uncle, you see ha, they told me to pickup the passport on the 8th. Now when I come, they say my passport not ready yet bcoz my photo not been processed! I thought today come here can just pickup the new passport for 5 min mah. Now have to wait and wait and take photo and wait again. They never called me about my photo problem before. No use we got latest technology if our mind still in the Stone Age," she grumbles and grumbles. Uncle heard her story also manyak geram ho. I send her to Jalan Bukit Indah.
Camp at Masjid Bukit Indah, carwash the cab for rm8. Pee and pray.
5.58pm, NFI at KFC Bandar Baru Ampang sending to throw a stone Spectrum only for cheap-put rm2.
6.12pm, WLS at LRT Ampang going to Jalan Ampang Utama.
6.23pm, MHD at the same LRT Ampang again sending to Chrystal Tower (Menara Kristal) condo next the Emerald Hills.
6.48pm, SOO at Jalan Bukit Indah 3/20 going to KLIA. Yay! 2 pax of ladies. SOO complains it's very hard to find Uber driver in Ampang compare at her workplace in PJ. They not talking to me much. Their discussion mostly on her francais business and current haze issue.
Camp at Petronas Exit KLIA. Pee and pray. Then drive straight to Cyberjaya.
8.57pm, ANA at Magic Cyberjaya sending to Jalan Binjai, next to Troika, and later send the other gf to Changkat Bukit BIntang. ANA is a Canada while Emmanuel is from France.
