So I was banned permanently by Grab for almost a year now. But I dont give a damn. Uber just serve me good.
Sunday, 1 October 2017. Today I plan to drive Uber for the second day in a row during this weekend. However, wife already requested me to accompany her to Kipmart and Tesco to buy our weekly groceries. What can I say?
After sending my daughter to her school this morning, I drove straight to JB city center bcoz I planned to go to Woodlands this morning. I set the Uber next destination to JB Sentral. No ping for a long long time until I arrived at Jalan Tebrau.
7.11am, got ping ping ping from Jalan Keris at Taman Sentosa, near KSL CIty Mall. 6 min 1.2miles to pickup 4 young Nepalese at the night club. They looked sober to me. The drop off point was JB Komtar, but the guy sitting next to me telling that actually they wanted to be dropped off somewhere near to Komtar. I said okay. But first, I need to stop at Plaza Pelangi to drop off 2 of the guys. After that I drove straight to the location he told me. The surging rate was 1.9x almost double. The guy later gave me one ringgit extra. Okay lah.
Then I drove straight to Woodlands. 7.40am I arrived at Woodlands old town. But I took almost 2 hour to return back to JB Sentral.
9.21am, I was at JB City Square by the road side. I set the next destination to HOME, and waited for a while. After 7 minutes still no ping, so I drove straight home bcoz my wife calling calling again to go to Kipmart wet market. But instead using the EDL highway, I chose the old Jalan Tebrau.
10.01am, RHM ping me after I missed the flyover at Pandan. So I need to drive another 7minutes to get RHM and her husband and their little daughter at kedai mamak Syed Bistro. I send them to nearby Aeon Tebrau City for a free ride since she got the promo code. OTL
Then I switched off the Uber apps and drove straight HOME.
Due to busy day, I didnt drive Uber in the evening as I was planned to. But it's okay. Family first. No worries.
Today I managed only to complete 2 trips with 1.32 hours online.
Latest ratings: 187 rating me with 5 stars, 4.49 star rating, 88% acceptance rate and 7% cancellation rate.
Note. Dear diary, later today I got a nice and warm complimentary from my rider. She/he says 'peramah' which I cannot find an equivalent English word for it. Aiyah. I believe the rider is the one I picked up at Kipmart market yesterday. But I maybe wrong. Anyway, thank you, you make my day.
