No lah, night shift also can cari makan, dun anyhow hantam. You Chinese never play mahjong, tai tee ar, no gathering at ppl homes?
Anywhere go also can find pax, go ulu place also can find, ndt will ting or ppl will be flagging.
CNY very relaxed driving one, no need to stress, altho yes town is a bit tougher but still can find.
best advice for cny is - drive slowly, yes, slowly, and you will find your pax. The only tough night is the last night, a bit slower but still won't die one.

A lot of omo start at night due to the 25%, and the jpbp (jiak pa boey pow) are usually off the road.
