Dear diary, this morning I got message from Grabcar incentive to pickup 3 riders in 2 hours and get max rm60. Wah la weh. But the job shall be done from Sri Hartamas, Wangsa Maju, Bandar Utama and Bangsar. Kannina.

8.19am, AZM at Grand Millenium Bukit Bintang sending to Menara Tan & Tan. Although short distance, this oil & gas engineer likes to talk and talk. He comes from Kemamang Terengganu but works currently in Brunei. He also shows me his crack screen Samsung S7 Edge. "I drop it after one week I bought it la uncle, and the screen so soft," he says sadly. To repair it will cost him rm1400. "Better buy a new one, " I say. He also talk about his experience using Grabcar Premium riding Peugeot car with the driver wearing only short pant, a tshirt and sandal. Aiyah, he dont like him, so after that he will choose only Malay driver. I can only laugh.

3.33pm, MAI at Jalan LJ 2 Taman Lembah Jaya. But the destination is only "KL Federal Territory." Aiyah, when asked, he wants to go Mydin KL, which is at Masjid Jamek.
4.20pm, MSU at Segi College going to 7-11 near Pearl International Hotel, Old Klang Road. She is from Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and just a week here.

5.44pm, ATN at Jalan Tun Sambanthan with his wife and a boy, with a big baggage can fit into my boot. He wants to go to nearby Saravanaa Bhavan but stop to buy something for 7min.
6.01pm, BKI at Jalan Tun Sambanthan 4 busstop. When arrive, I cannot call him bcoz using international number. Then I drive one more big round to the same bus stop, then wait for 5min, then I cancel. Later, he calls me back bcoz he saw me already and asking to come back to pick them up. Now, I have to use "deal by the side" to send them to nearby Prescott Hotel and later to KLCC. Due to higher demand, they agree to pay me as per Grabcar fare. When asks, they come from Kyrgyzstan. Later, ondway to KLCC, there is bad traffic jam along Jalan Tun HS Lee and Leboh Ampang. The wife asks me whether can find highway to KLCC to runaway from the traffic jam. I say no other way, but later I remember to use the Akleh highway but need to go inside the basement parking. They also agree to pay for the parking ticket, so I go lah. Puzzle: At the dropoff, the fare is rm26, BKI gives me rm50, and I should return him the balance of rm24. But he gives me rm3 more, and asks for rm25. Am I gaining rm2 or losing rm2? Very blur, cannot think and count properly now.
Since parking already at KLCC, I go upstair and find surau and pray, pee and pray.

He really appreciates me.
