Recently, money suddenly play a big role in my life.
Previously i dont have so much commitment.
I just brought a car. all the payment and incoming monthly installment , petrol , travel to taiwan and boracay this year... is all about money.
At the same time, my sis is going to collage (probably need to support her monthly expenses ).
Well, few of my colleague was started to work as part time Uber driver.
First week they got average rm700.
This is quite attractive.
if one week can earn rm700, one month we can earn at least rm2.5k.
This is quite alot in malaysia especially it is equal to a fresh graduate salary.
so i registered and took the part time job.
well, lets talk about my experience when i Ubering.
first day, i choose to start my "career" at setapak.
this is somewhere near my collage and my house.
I think its better to start with the area that im familiar and i checked around this place, there are seldom uber drivers station over here. this is the opportunity as i can cover all the requests here.
i waited for 1hour and im thinking to end it and go back take a bath.
suddenly a request pop up at the phone.
i drive to the place and pick up the guy, send him back home.
then i go back for dinner. he is about my age, so along the trip, the feeling is like fetching a friend.
then , 2nd day, i sent my back home. coz i need the ride count.
then 3rd day, my friend use my uber service to go lunch. there i got another 2 trips
the real challenge on is on friday night.
it was a raining day and off office hour at friday night.
the jam in KL is terrible.
before im arrive to pick up the passenger, he was so angry coz i took too long to reach him.
he keep calling me and ask "why so slow? are you coming or not? "
it was so danger to answer calls during driving.
but i have to answer him.
after that when also he stuck in the jam with me, he start to turn nice and talk to me.
at least he understand why i took so long to reach. and he gave me 5 stars !
then i pick up another and stuck in the jam again.
so tired and cannot focus to drive.
that end of my trip of the day.
go back take a bath and dinner then prepare to sleep.
lets try on saturday morning.
hopefully not so much car on the road.
this makes me realize how difficult to be a taxi drivers.
they earn less and need to face all this difficult situation everyday.
They got no choice but to face them. =(

Anyways, this is a good experience as I get to know how other ppl life going on and meet and talk more to different kind of people. =)
