THE UBER DRIVER CANNOT SEND YOU TO PONTIAN UNLESS YOU PAY DOUBLE

This supposed to be the last job at Cendana flat house for factory workers. The lady ping was here but no rider show. Charcheebye lah.

Thursday, 29 June 2017.

9.59am, start the Uber apps. The odometer is 108,941km. I need to complete 7 more trips today to earn extra RM100. I repeat, 'extra' means bonus money from Uber. Dear diary, it's useless to 'meroyan' only blaming others while we can earn a ciput fare.

10.13am, WAI at Jalan Jelatang 23 Taman Megah Ria going to JB Sentral. 11min to pickup and the surge is 1.3x.

10.48am, LYN at the same JB Sentral sending to Jalan Kempas Utama 3/1. No surge.

11.15am, QAY at Jalan Impian Emas 10 sending to Perpustakaan Sutera Mall. He rides this trip for the second time and later I found out that he was fined rm5 on his previous cancellation trip. I told him about it and he seemed surprised.

11.30am, amoi at Jalan Bentara 5 going to Tea Garden near Sutera Mall.

Note. Break and toilet at Shell Tuta (Taman Ungku Tun Aminah).

12.10pm, an Indian girl at Jalan Ronggeng 20 Taman Nesa Skudai sending to Hutan Bandar Taman Seri Orkid to meet her friends. It was light rains. No surge.

12.27pm, ahsoh at Jalan hang Kasturi 6. Google Maps directed me to use shortcut but ended up at the blockage road. Kannina. When arrived at the house, the ahsoh asked me whether I can send the apek going back to Pontian. She told me not to use the apps, "deal tepi mah, biasa drebar mintak rm65." When I checked on the Uber rider apps, the fare is rm49, I requested for the double fare, ie RM100, bcoz surely no rider going back from Pontian (#bijakkanangkel), then she changed her mind and asked me to send the apek to the Shell bus stop opposite of Skudai Parade waiting for the bus going to Pontian. This old man likes to talk too. He is sick now after major cancer operation. "Sekalang manyak sinang pakai gps ho... tapi gua susah mau paham... " the old man started talking. He story-mory about his previous three times accidents while driving his Kancil at Pontian town. He blamed the accidents due to the manual transmission. "Wah manyak susah itu gear manual lah uncle, mau tukar gear juga susah, dan takde pikap," he complained to me. Now he dont want to drive car anymore. See my dear diary, this uncle dont know how to use the latest gps gadget and also dont know how to drive manual car. I feel so pity for him. Last time he was a fisherman. "Saya penah kene tahan navy Indon, tapi kasik lepas sbb kasi wang sikit," he said. The surge for trip was 1.6x, but due to the panic just now, I didn't cancel or start the trip. Later when almost arrived at the Shell bus stop, I reckoned the apps still active and I cancelled it and asked the apek to pay rm15 only.

12.57pm, MAI at Jalan Inang 4, Taman Nesa going to KPJ Johor Specialist. Surge is 1.3x.

1.24pm, the last trip to get RM100 from Uber, NZR with her 3 little khalifas at Taman Imigresen Blok Teratai. She wanted to go to CIQ but first stop at Jalan Drapper to drop off the kids. The surge is 1.3x.

So dear diary, today I completed the Quest from Uber and I will get extra bonus money.

KPJ Johor Specialist Hospital, Johor Bahru
Start Uber apps after sending my daughter home, at 5.44pm. The odo = 109,081km.

6.05pm, 10min to pick up MOH's wife at a kilang, Jalan Bayu 4. Sending the minachi to nearby Jalan Keruing Taman Rinting 4.

6.21pm, 8min to pick up AMN's gf and her small brother at McD Seri Alam. Send them to nearby Jalan Beringin Taman Rinting.

6.41pm, IZT at Kipmart Masai with his mom and some groceries. I told them to put the wet groceries on the rubber pan. I send them to rumah murah Jalan Tembikai 28 Taman Kota Masai.

7.25pm, break at Petronas Jalan kota Masai to pee and pray. Then stopped at mamak restaurant for dinner, nasi goreng kampong.

While waiting for the last job, I got ping from PRATIWI at flat Taman Cendana. But when arrived and calling twice but no answer, so I cancelled. Pandanela lah. Then, I switched off the Uber apps and go straight home sweet home.
