Uber XL in JB. Starting at 8.40am with odometer reads at 61,609km.
Trip no. 1.
8.51am, very far far away 13min 11km, RKS ping to pickup her relatives at Jalan Asli 10 Taman Pasir Putih. She asked me to send them to Masai Bus Terminal, but she need to use her smartphone to book another Uber or Grab car. 5 little girls at the back row with 2 adults, actually she wanted to add more adults, but I told her it's against the Uber policy. After she cancelled, I got rm5, and this unaccountable trip.
Trip no. 2.
9.37am, 11min 6.6km to pickup NBL and her poly-student friends. 6 pax to nearby Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan.
Trip no. 3.
10.20am, 9min 6.5km NAA to pickup another 6 girls at Jalan Asli 13 going to far far away Austin Heights, the waterpark. Instead of driving thru traffic-jam packed Pasir Gudang highway, I used the longer but faster EDL coastway. Surprisingly, the fare was exactly as per their upfront price. Nobody complains.
Trip no. 4.
11.22am, AMN an Indian business ping at Jalan Bertam 14 Taman Daya. He and 2 young Indian guys and lots lots of baggages going to Public Bank Desa Cemerlang. Their smelly bodies forced me to wind down all the windows. They seemed dont mind.
Break at Petronas Lebuh desa Cemerlang. 12.12pm.
Then parked at the Store Pandan at 12.52pm. Still no ping.
ALI ping me at 1.06pm, 11min 5.1km to pickup at Jalan Riang 22 with 1.3x surge rate, but later he cancelled while I was ondway. Kannina.
Trip no. 5.
1.18pm, AMN ping at Sports Prima Sri Purnama. 6 pax of young boys with surge of 1.4x going to McD Pandan.
The last trip, no. 6.
1.51pm, ZKR the boss alone ping 14min 13.4km far far away at Ritzton Hotel Jalan Serampang which I was mistaken for 5 star hotel, not shoplot hotel. Aiyah. ZKR who wore jacket with white shirt and jeans also wonders. While on the cab, he wound down the back window where he sat bcoz to shoo few ants crawling inside the cab. Aiyah, I so shame lah. He said, "you should send for fog car cleaner." At this moment, I was worried that he might give me a bad report like others. I sent the boss to the factory at Jalan Penaga 12 Kota Puteri Masai with 1.3x surge rate. At the dropoff, I reckoned that he used cc for the payment, but surprisingly he handed me two rm5 notes and say, "take lah, this is your tip."
2.22pm already, I need to do some run errands for my condo in KL. Also later, I need to repair the fluorescent bulbs on my house kitchen that were blown up since last week and wife already cry cry about it.
Dear diary, today I only managed to complete 5 trips in 5hr 58min. Okay lah.
