A WELL LOOKING FOR A BUCKET?

McD Senai airport during the blue hour at dawn this morning @2018

Saturday, 16 June 2018, second day of hariraya aidilfitri.

Dear diary, starting today, I tried not to mention race, but some nationalities only. Racism is no good.

6.25am, PNC sending a couple from Jln Rimbun to Senai airport.

7.05am, MAJ a minah kilang at Jln Senai Jaya 6 sending to Flextronics Technology Senai. This is a high price job.

After dropping MAJ, got ping from YUL an Indon at nearby Petronas Toll Skudai. The fare is rm53 and when I checked the distance to Jalan Jaya 4 Taman Pontian Jaya was 50km! Aiyah, sure no rider back to the city. I cancelled and then she ping again and I accepted by hoping she would call me and we can make a "tepi longkang" deal. But after waiting for 7 minutes, I cancelled for the second time. No rejeki, I said to my heart only.

7.42am, KRI a lady at Jln Panglima 1 Taman Dewani going to Kuil Sri Muniswarar Tampoi. She asked me to stop at Petronas gas station instead, as I am also to fill up the gas.

At the Petronas Tampoi, as I wanted to use the toilet, I got ping from Tune Hotel Dangabay going to Forest City with RM39 fare + rm10 bonus. I ignored it and later I regretted it. Demm.

8.09am, KAL a girl at Lily & Jasmine Apartment Tampoi Indah. When arrived I couldnt find the block, and later she called me as she already waited at Block F, not A. Panda lela lah.

8.32am, YAA at Jaleco Services Persisiran Perling, an Indon ping me to send his boyfriend to Jalan Perubatan 10 Taman Universiti Skudai.

8.54am, DHA 2 ladies wearing nurse uniform at Jalan Pulai 77 Skudai going to Klinik Adham Mutiara Rini.

9.15am, an auntie at Jln Panglima 1/1 Skudai without putting her name nor house number. I told her later that the security guard "complained" about the house number and she said the guard is new. Later I sent her to a shoplot near Hotel Shiki Taman Setia Jaya Mount Austin. On the Pasir Gudang highway I missed the exit mentioned by Waze but later she just told me to drive straight and use the Kota Tinggi exit.

9.45am, while still on previous trip, I accepted this bangla SHE ping from Jalan Waja 5 Pandan. Instead of 3 km to pickup location, it's becoming farther 5.6km! Later he called me as they were waiting very long time already. I told him to check on the apps. I sent his 2 boyfriends to the new Paradigm Mall on Jln Skudai.

10.24am, JAH a guy at Jln Ledang Taman Johor going to The Speed Sutera Utama.

10.38am, SAT a couple at Sentimental Hotel Taman Perling sending to Melana Apartment. Later after dropping the girlfriend, the guy told me to send him to his nearby house at Jln Pulai 3 without the apps. He asked me, "why uncle no raya celebration eh?"

11.06am, KSL a young guy at Jln Pulai Perdana 9/2 going to Sutera Mall. He greeted hariraya to me.

11.37am, NAS at Jln Uda 7/7 Bandar Uda Utama sending a Singaporean couple with a baby to JB Sentral. Later, they asked me where I bought the "food hook" on my back seat.

12.02pm, TAK 2 local ladies near OCBC Bank JB Jln Ibrahim going to far far away D'Carlton Seaview Residences Seri Mega, Megah Ria. Since the destination is near to my HOME1, I decided to go HOME1 and take break.

Dear diary, the Grab riders demand in JB is very high if we compare to Mycard demand. What can I say, it's still the giant Grab monopoly business.



5.02pm, set destination to Aeon Permas Jaya.

5.06pm, VIC amoi and her stroke dad at Jln Tasek 27 sending to far far away Jln Permas 10/7.

6.04pm, MIA a cleft mom with her little boy at flat Jln Bunga Daisi 4 Taman Plentong Baru going to Giant Hypermarket Plentong. Due to narrow and one way street around the low cost flat, that truck driver was so langsi try to contra the flow. Defensively I need to reverse and give a way. Panda lela lah.

6.27pm, ANL 3 Javanese men at Jln Keembong 22 Johor Jaya sending to far far away Skudai Parade.

6.56pm, TEP an Indon couple (Javanese also) at the same Skudai Parade bus stop going to far far away Jln Hang Lekiu 1 Skudai (Lima Kedai). He used the rm5 promo code.

7.20pm, VIL an auntie at Rini Residences without house no or street name. She called and told me about her number at Jln 41 which facing the main road but after several tries then I gave up and I cancelled even I know I was at the right street.

Break at Petron Jln Skudai to Lima Kedai. Pee and pray.

8.01pm, AVI ping from Jln Utama 13 Mutiara Rini wanted to go to far far away Taman Pasir Putih Pasir Gudang. The fare was rm50. He called me and asking whether I can accept 5 passengers and I requested an extra rm10. At first he agreed as he told me that they are urgently wanted to go right away. When I was about to enter the main road, then he cancelled. Panda lela lah.

8.05pm, GOMBLOH CC at Jln Shahbandar 6 Taman Ungku Tun Aminah going to Jln Masyhur 5 Taman Perindustrian Cemerlang. 3 Javanese guys on the way.

Then I set destination to HOME1.

8.33pm, NGN a vietnamese amoi calling me to pickup ameng at Rumah Urut Jln Gaya 2. The China guy cannot speak Malay nor English. We talked like duck and chicken. OTL.. Later I sent him to nearby Jln Anggerik 12 Johor Jaya.

8.53pm, FAS a chubby girl at Aeon Tebrau City going to Flat Taman Plentong Baru. We talked and talked about hariraya, her family, her career as nursery guardian in Puchong. She's still single but when I told her to find new boyfriends, she a bit startled saying, " no lah uncle, how can a girl likes "the well has gone to look for the bucket?" OTL

9.24pm, NAR 2 ladies with a little boy at Today's Market going home to Jalan Merak. When asked why not taking a teksi, she replied, "I gave up already la uncle, they are all blood suckers and always tried to cheat and cheat. You see lah uncle, from here to my house they are asking from rm15, while now I can call grab for much cheaper rm5!" Aiyah.

After dropoff I drove straight to HOME1.

WHY YOU STILL DRIVING GRAB IF YOU KNOW IT'S BULLYING YOU

  Saturday, 5/5/2024. At midnight about 12.30am, I booked a Grabcar from Amansari Residence Resort. From the resort to my house is about rm9...
