Yesterday was going out to fix my aircond and probably drive couple hours OTW home. Went to 3 shops from mechanic to aircond shops were quoted from Rm210 to Rm260 to replace the fan which goes cacat at times. What I did to fix with just WD40 and sprayed the part which was probably clogged with dirt or grease. Viola - cost me probably 10 sens with a few sprays on the affected moving parts and it worked! Either air cond specialists were clueless or simply mechanics just want to replace it with tidy profit, I was either lucky or I am ingenious to try to degrease it. After that I went straight home to relax as it was still too hot for me to drive. I considered a driving profit of RM260 profit by saving it after being diagnosed,it was the fan problem.

On Saturday took my riders for a return trip to Genting Highlands. Went early in the morning to avoid the expected jam and came down at 230pm which is an hour trip to the city. Went for spinning wheel of roulette fortune and it was a lucky strike for Rm300 as extra time boost bonus of the trip home . There was a beeline going through peanut jam climbing the Karak Highway on the opposite lane which is probably 10km from toll booth. Probably takes tiga jam naik Gunung Genting Got a request to Genting on Sunday but declined riders request because would be caught in the jam either on each end. Most highway jam packed, My wifey friend took 6 hours to balik kampung Ipoh from Klang Valley. This post has been edited by zinglicious: Aug 13 2019, 12:37 PM

Got a single trip to airport from PJ at about 5.30pm where I came back empty handed to DPC without a soul requesting for rides. Then i noticed many people praying at the road sides with lots of foodies. Dat's why...!!! I quickly off my Grabbing apps upon reaching home as there would be plenty of soul requests after the Hungry Ghost Festival after 9pm. After dinner, they might wanna some divers to send them for teh tarik as supper. This post has been edited by zinglicious: Aug 13 2019, 09:15 PM

My history of shortest ride 80 meters for Rm12. The ride was booked by a female grabber whose car broke down by the roadside. The stranded riders got in and out within seconds as it was just steps away to thier hotel. At first, I though there would be plenty of stuff to be ferried across. Imagine the reaction of the passengers when they got out

QUOTE(coolstore @ Aug 27 2019, 08:06 PM) your 'kindness' would leave hazard to other drivers who follow rules that no such thing stop for free for tapao or whatever, not to mention not even a multi-stop job a driver stick to the rule, and rider said "why other driver can, u cannot?" these happens because of other drivers' 'kindness' who didn't follow rule. This lead to past incidents like rider claimed other driver can wait for her 15min-30min at lobby no problem, why u cannot and the rest, thanks to grab just implement 5 min no show cancellation penalty to solve this issue once for good. next time if u got a job bangla want u carry gas tong and said 'why other driver can, u cannot', u would then get what i mean Totally agree with you. It was a sejarah hari itu where I had 7 pax with 5 luggage. They said no problem with the other drivers since the 7th pax is just a 7 year old kid.  iSayman, "if you can be seated securely with safety belt strapped, I can take you with the luggage on your laps since it comply with MY law in Lalulintas Dan Jalanraya

Just yesterday I had six pax with six luggage which the hotel concierge ordered for them. The hotel is situated at the location where it is hard to get ride which drivers usually would cancel at wills. Showed them that the Grab apps stated 6 pax or 4 pax with luggage for 6 seater request.. They proceeded to come in with just three pax which they would order another ride as well. Told them it is hard to order ride from thier location and I took all of them to the office. They were gracious enough to be thankful but I said I complied with the law and order traffic rules. Though it is a bit of inconvenience of putting thier luggage on thier laps. And they made it on time to thier office meeting.  When riders are not demanding, I would be accommodating as long as i dun break the rules of driving engagement. Once I send a rider to the emergency ward as he was having cardiac arrest where I zig zag all the way to the hospital. I even checked him in by supplying vital medical information to the nurses where he was wheeled in immediately. Heck, they thought I was the doctor. Thank God the patient didnt go on panic mode with my instruction and assurance as I did not want him to died in my car after picking him up.

I was cool with 30 years of driving record and I knew the way to the hospital inside out. And luckily it was at 9 pm without any peanut jam. I had to be extra careful in the zig zag driving mode with honking and hazard light blinking It could be detrimental if I were to get into any accident. That patient might not survive to wait for another ride to the hospital. And I dun want a dead corpse in the car. Thank goodness , he made it to the hospital alive. It was a sign of relief after the tension moments of driving. I had to remain cool to calm the patient with medical guideline and instruction while he was having chest pain and difficulty breathing. In fact, he felt better knowing that I was a medical detailer. His condition was way better from the moment he got out compared to when he was getting in my car. Ironic but true.....he was a young Chinese herbalist.

That reminded of one case in question where the rider asked me to wait for his friend coming out from Opium bar at Jalan Alor peanut jam junction. She even have the balls to asked me to stopped at the roundabout after getting into my car with taxi cars in line to move on. Told her outright that it is not my granddaddy road and showed her the door out.

If you are driving with the taxi, there would be midnight surcharge of 50 percent grabbing passengers.

If 5 skinny pussy cat dolls how to put the safety belts ? I am pretty sure should any incident occur, you get yellow banana from Grab, IPI and probably insurance for not ignoring public safety which is the law and order of Akta Jalanraya Lalulintas. .  KFC nuggets , crispy thigh to drumstick or breast can be a distraction to safe mode of driving. This post has been edited by zinglicious: Aug 29 2019, 01:32 AM

TGIF and it was peanut jam from 1 utama to Bangsar and MK. The jam to the toll booth at Phileo to 1U is about 2km from Bangsar. Thank God It's Fine as I really wasnt stuck in the peanut jam. All my trips from 5pm and it landed me back to DPC at 11pm with high fares with an hour teh tarik time All in within distance about 60km which I got Rm200 with Rm50 TBB angpow. Best in Grabbing experience in terms of fuel spent on the road.
