AN AIRPORT TRIP WHILE STILL IN THE OFFICE

Thursday, 4 July 2019.

7.31am, RUB 3 Bangla near Merriot IOI Putrajaya kongsi while I just passed the junction on the Silk Highway. I need to drive further up a total of 6km in 8min. I reckon they can wait for me as they have many personal things on big plastic bags, fans and few kitchen things. I didnt mind. I sent them to far far away Putra Crest Subang Jaya, but until to the front gate.

============

While in the office, ...

10.39am, ROL a matsalleh at Bosch Rexroth which the Grab apps showed me the wrong pickup location. Luckily it's just a nearby company. He was accompanied at the company's gate with an Indon guy telling me to send the matsalleh to KLIA 1. In the way to the airport, we talked a bit about a wheather, and traffic condition. This matsalleh originally from the UK and now resides in Jakarta. He said the traffic here is much better than in Jakarta. I agreed.

CREDIT WALLET CASH WALLET



Wednesday, 3 July 2019.

7.52pm, LIZ an ahmoi at Sapura Group main lobby sending to nearby The Mines shopping mall. The fare was cheapo rm5 and it's on Grabpay. Demm. Then the road going to the nearby mall entrance was closed and I need to drive further up and back to the starbuck entrance of the mall.

Dear diary, this morning I post up status on fb group asking them on how to cash out from Credit Wallet before July 12th. Currently on my credit wallet I still got rm186.85, while on my Cash Wallet my balance is rm25.20. My mistake last week that I transferred rm100 from the cash wallet into the credit wallet. Now, it's impossible to get the money back unless I drive Grab until to the end balance. Fookyew lah Grab.

When I checked again on the waze, the hotel is at the other of the junction. Aiyah! Soon, he cancelled. Actually, this trip made me to reconsider whether it's a worth trip or not since I reckon that there would be no riders back from the airport if I dont wait for 6 hours in the Landside. It's good also that he cancelled.

12.07pm, SALEH another Arab guy ping me from Skypod Square, Bandar Puchong Jaya. Actually they're waiting inside the residence lobby.

Due to bad traffic jam at the area, the duration to the hotel lobby would take another 19min! So I told her, she said she's willing to wait "if i want" but I thought it's not worth it. So I cancelled the trip for the first time this week.

Soon, an India family at nearby Sunway Medical Center waiting for me. The distance is less than 1km but the time to get to the lobby would be 15min! He still can wait. I sent them to Kenanga Apartment Puchong - Block D.

I say no problem and I turn down the mp3 volume on the radio. But he insists me to let the volume on higher. Also he asks me on how to do advance booking on the grab. I tell him to use 6 seater option. Later, he asks me my phone number. But I warn him that I got many homes to entertain that I might pass the job to other driver.

I ignore a job from Bukit Desa Condom to Toyota Service Centre Jalan Templer Section 51.

8.00am, MOZ another Malay guy at nearby South View Serviced Apartments, Lorong Kerinchi Kiri, sending to Kompleks Rapid Rail Subang, Ara Damansara. His meeting will be at 9.30am, so no rushing. I drive through Federal highway which has a moderate traffic jam.

=================

While setting up the 6seater ...

4.00pm, ADL a matsalleh at Zuellig Pharma, Persiaran Pasak Bumi. The matsalleh wrote, "go to main gate and ask to go to main lobby." This is not the first time I need to look at the makguard so that she could open the gate. The rain was heavy. When I arrived at the lobby, I saw there was already a teksi (innova) with 3 people (2 matsalleh and 1 pinoy lady). "There was a mishap," he said and he took back their bags from the teksi into my cab. Only 3 people going to the KLIA, while the other matsalleh who apparently has already advancely booked the teksi.

I camped at the Landside. Pee and pray.
I had mee hoon goreng at the cafe and met this uncle. He's retired already and driving Grab to pass his time. Good lah.

I waited for 5 hours for a ping. I set MD (my destination) to Kajang hoping to get a pasengger on the same way HOME3.
At 9.15pm, while doing my pray at the mushollah, an AA (auto accept) ping came in but the guy cancelled it already. I reckoned he called me through Grab masked phone. No rejecki for me.

At 10pm, after 5 hours of doing nothing at the Landside, suddenly there was a notification telling me that I was off gps. Kannina.
So after 10 minutes, I left the Landside and going home.
So frustrated.


EVENING HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS

Tuesday, 2 April 2019.

Morning no ping.

==============

6.25pm, CHC a Chinese big size man at Sunway Pyramid. He waits at Family mart. The waze shows me the time to the destination is about 13 minutes, but I got a shortcut. He is surprised to see me arriving early. I send the big guy to Blue Diamond Pub & Lounge at Jalan Puchong Mesra, Plaza Puchong. He says he feels stress to see the bad traffic jam while we are at the Sunway interchange going to Puchong Jaya.

7.44pm, EZA a Malay and his international friends (4 guys) at Flexis One South hotel lobby going to Sports Arena @ Bukit Serdang. The traffic is bad.

Dear diary, last night (at 2am) I got whatsapp message from a guy asked me for a help as his grab account was banned. When asked the reason of the banned, he said, "got accused of dangerous driving with a rider that I had heated words with even I didn't do it." Well I felt so pity for him. This is not the first time I heard it.

WAITING SABAHAN GIRLS

Monday, 1 April 2019.

Morning no ping.

After work, I waited the Sabah factory girls at the same Canon Mailcom Jalan Astaka U8/82.
7.04pm, CAS (different girl but still the same group) ping me to send them back at Mydin Sri Muda.

No ping afterwards.
The traffic was very bad on Puchong Intan Interchange.

9.10pm, TIK 2 Indon ladies at bus stop KTM Serdang, but I arrived on the other side of the road. So I drove back to get them and uturn back and send them to Kampung Sungai Merab Luar.
