11.35am, "membangau" at surau Fatimah Charterfield and Landside for 4 hours. Trying Grab Plus for the first time.

Ignoring 2 Grabcar cheapo rm65 trips and waiting for Grab Plus ping with rm75. The 6 seater ping seemed more further away. Then suddenly one of my whatsapp group friend offered "job tepi" driving pak Arab family who just landed from Langkawi. She got a message from an agent to pickup the Arab family at 4.15pm at KLIA2, but everything was haywire! It's not KLIA2, instead KLIA1 !  Even the hotel name also got confused, which is not Citin Seacare Hotel in Pudu, but in Citin Hotel near Masjid Jamek. Aiyah. And 4 big Arabs with not so small child (a 12 year old girl). Luckily their baggages are not so big which can fit nicely into my cik Jnulekasnova.

As agreed, I was going to drive them to Citin Hotel in KL, but wait... The Arab family wanted to stop at Putrajaya. I was asking for extra rm50 which the Arab young man agreed.

Almost 6pm I picked them up bcoz I already turned around KLIA2 twice and needed to go back to KLIA1 ! Aiyah.

Friday, 2 February 2018.

I am overstaying since last night for the KLIA trip. I should take the Grabcar cheaput fare at the midnight last night instead of waiting for the 6-seater which the Queue number is at 1-10. Demm.

6.49am, VCH a local KL couple which I thought were foreigner due to the weird name at KLIA1. Their 2 baggages are too big and I dont think will fit into any Axia or Myvi car. No wonder, when I dropped them at their Utropolis Suites Shah Alam next to KDU University, the guy gladly said "thank you" many times to me. Luckily la u.

With an attention to get an airport trip, I set grabcar apps to SD to KLA and drove straight thru Federal Highway.

8.15am, VYO an Indian boss with his wife at Jln SS 3/47 Tmn Universiti PJ going to KLIA. Instantly, he texted me, "try to come fast, shld be at airport by 9.20.." then I looked at my watch. Aiyah! One hour to the airport and I was panic as I thought his flight was at 9.20! When arrived at the front gate of his terrace house, he still inside the house! Then I need to uturn my cab on the crampy street to get the couple with their baggages. When inside the cab, I told his uncle that I couldnot make it to the airport in one hour even the Waze said it will arrive there in time. But the uncle told me, "no worries, my actual flight is 10.30, i just wanted to give the buffer.." Pande lela lah. I told him that he scared me to drive fast fast to pick him up. This type of riders just wanted to bully bully the drivers only. Fookyew lah.

Dear diary, while still waiting at the airport for the UberXL ping, I had time to eat my breakfast, and got a short nap. Then after 2 hours of looking at the idling 1-10 queue number on the Uber apps, I decided to go back to JB.
