AMONGST ARAB COUNTRIES, OMAN IS NOT POPULAR HERE
Friday, 19 January 2018.
9.00am, ALP an Indon guy booking Justgrab at Jln 4 going to Suria KLCC.
10.01am, MNR an Arab and his newly wed bride at Traders Hotel sending to Sunway Lagoon. Trying to be friendly, I wrongly guessed his country. Not Arab saudi, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and almost all arab countries and still not correct. After a while I gave up and the young Arab told me they are Omans! OTL We talked and talked all the way. They came to the country for their honeymoon, and just came back from Langkawi and Penang. I told them to go to Melaka, the world heritage where Portuguese was our firt colonised power same as their country, Oman. [wikipedia: Oman]
11.13am, SYK-san a Japanese lady at Menara TM sending to Ikea Damansara. I greeted her with “konnichiwa,” “yorosiku onegaisimasu,” “ikea o ikimasu ka?” and few other words and she looked impressed. But that’s all, after that we dont talk at all until at drop off.
12.25pm, PKY 5 pax of local chinese execs at RHB lobby First avenue going to Uptown. 1.3x the surge.
1pm already, I parked cik Jnulekasnova by the roadside to go to nearby masjid Damansara Utama.
AIRPORT TRIP NO 1.
1.46pm, JTK at First Avenue hotel going to KLIA2. Yay! The chinese guy alone greeted in Malay, but not much talking. At the airport later, I realised he’s not local, instead he is Singaporean. Aiyah. The surge was 1.6x.
“Membangau” at the airport for more than 3 hours.
AIRPORT TRIP NO. 2.
5.26pm, YNA 2 Singapore young ladies at KLIA sending to Ascot Hote Klcc. The ladies asked me the city tour rate for tomorrow. Later at night she texted me to cancel the job. Okay lah.
AIRPORT TRIP NO. 3.
6.41pm, just before dropping the Singaporeans, HEE ping me from Mandarin hotel. He is going to KLIA2 depart to Penang. The dutch is married to a local Malay lady named Afifah. We talked and talked a bit about Menara Najib, some politics, KL too much prestige development, his conversion to become Muslim and never circumcised (read: bersunat). This is an airport trip no. 3.
“Membangau” at the airport for more than 3 hours for the second time today. Met fellow driver, RSD, who never used "fake gps" as he considers it as sin and "haram" activity. Good lah for him.
AIRPORT TRIP NO 4.
11.45pm, ANE a local Chinese amoy who just came back from Nanning China for 4 months and she dire to eat nasi lemak. ANE asked to drive faster faster to catch up with her boyfriend just now who kiss kiss, but I told her there are many speed traps on the highway. Note: this is my first trip on the new Uber account no. 2.
