5.18pm, MOL and his wife and his boy at Larkin Sentral. When hopped in the cab, they complained about teksi in the stand not wanting to use meter. The teksi drivers also asking for rm30 for the distance that Uber fare is only rm10 for 10km. "If they asked me rm20 also no problem, but rm30 is too much," the wife said. I sent them to Taman Munsyi Abdullah. "Now they complain that nobody want to ride with them (the teksi)," MOL said again, " and they just blamed it on Uber!" Why not blame it on JDT - I said inside my heart only lah. The boy was also talkative, spoke in Malay and sometimes English. Once MOL while talking to me, the boy talking too. "Next time please dont talk while people are talking okay boy?" scold MOL. "Okay now, what you want to say?" asked the father in minutes later. And the boy was sulking and said doesnt want to talk anymore!
When arrived, the fare was rm13.87, but I asked to pay only rm13. "Takpe, you take twenty, give me the balance thirty," MOL said while handing me the rm50 note. You see dear diary, the guy living in the low cost house with a white BMW on his porch reminds me of the Altimet song of "Amboi".
5.43pm, MUJ and his bf, 2 pax of Indon men at Jalan Dian 7 going to Jalan Cempedak Kampung Pasir. We talk and talk while on the trip. "It's so expensive to go balik kampung during raya lah wak," the other pak indon who is sitting next to me said, "seribu ringgit satu penerbangan dari Senai airport. Kalau naik pesawat dari Batam agak murah dalam rm600, tapi leceh mau amek masa ke sana naik feri lagi."
6.03pm, a nearby FEE at Jalan Titiwangsa 3/3 near Kipmart Tampoi. This good looking Malay young lady is polite and likes to talk too. She asked me, "how long have you driving uber, uncle?" She works as an Interior Designer. Her dad just passed away due to colon cancer and used to work at the same office as me now. They used to stay at Taman Rinting but many bad tragedies happening there, ie domestic violence and thieves and mugs. I send her to Jalan Austin Perdana 2/13. She didnt have the small change and wanted to get it from her mom inside the house, but I said "no worries," and let her go with less rm1.66 fare while smiling at her. And she smile back at me.
