Dear diary, I woke up this morning at 4am to pickup scheduled Grab 6-seater rider at Batu caves at 5am going to Subang airport. As expected, since I dont reply his message yesterday, so the job was already cancelled. But it’s okay, it’s not my "rejeki" for today.
Trip no. 1.
4.26am, NZM at Rumah Pangsa Kenanga Taman Putera Sulaiman. He booked grab for the first time, so I reckon he mistakenly chose the 6-seater since he is alone. I dont mind sending the Sandakan young man who is working as chef to Mentari Court Sunway.
I drive back to KLCC.
5.39am, break at Petron.
Trip no. 2.
5.58am, AVL 4 pax a KK sabahan chinese family at Parkroyal hotel going to KL sentral with big baggages. When I offered the dad to send to KLIA, at first he was reluctant but later he thought about the cheaper fare compare if they commuting by KLIA express train. When he asked to his wife, the lady yelled at him, “dont change mind lah!” It’s okay, I said, I just wanted them to save money. At the dropoff at KLIA express, she yelled again and insisted me to dropoff at the bus terminal, but I told them that cars cannot enter that bus area. When checking on the fare, they got promo code and paid only rm2. Charcheebye lah.
6.32am, Petronas Jln Maarof Bangsar. Fajar pray.
Trip no. 3.
7.02am, TVH 6 pax of young vietnamese workers at Jln Ang Seng 3 Brickfields sending to construction site near KPJ Ampang puteri Specialist.

4.26pm, NOI 6 pax of university students at LRT Pasar Seni. Besides NOI who is a foreigner, the rest of them are Brunei students, I guess. I sent them to Endah Promenade.
I drove to KLIA empty handedly.
6.33pm, got ping from a China man (I dont know his name since the chinese characters filled up the screen). I texted him and asked him about his destination. He wrote back, "Cyberjaya." I said I am going to KL only. He seemed upset and wanted me to cancel, "you are not supposed to ask me the destination." I told him that this is my car, and I only use Uber apps. "How can you accept the job and cancel and let me pay rm5 fine?" he typed it again. I said it's not 5 minute and no charge to him. Then he cancelled the Uber job instantly. Good lah.
6.35pm, ALX at KLIA door 4 going to The Westin Bukit Bintang KL. Yay! 3 pax, ALX and his Singaporean colleaque and the English man who for the first time arriving here. They were talking about old history of British colonization in south east asia, banking business etc.
