2nd of February 1980 . The time was 7.30am when I said  'hi' to this guy who look lost walking along the dark unlighted corridor  at the ground floor of WISMA MPI at Jalan Raja Chulan, KL. That simple 'hi' was a threshold to a very strong friendship I could ever found on earth and maybe during my life time. He turn out to be having the fate with me i.e. reporting duty as a Probational Air Traffic Controller at DCA HQ with was located within the building.

Probably our upbringing was same , basically from a poor family and holding to some simple principle in life that is transparent , obedient and honest , we join this challenging ,sophisticated & arrogant industry where   worship things that fly.....

After the basic training , we went separate ways but later was posted to Malacca Airport Control Tower. His presence at that material time was monumental. Many things happened .. upsets , life dissappointments and broken hearted. We had basically the same problems and  face this test helping each other in terms of moral and financial support.

In Malacca,we witnessed a triangular love affair among 2 controllers and a lady clerk who are our own friends.  It was a terrible phase as, we had our own personal problems and life to attend  , and that triangular love affair created distrust and divided the staff , which in turn  effected both of us professionally.

We had to go thru this episod for more than a year til the lady decided to choose on of the proposers. Meanwhile , we learn among other things that , material wealth is a deciding factor which might blur one faith and one's faith to the almighty will decide everything.

The lady marrried to the one who had the outmost faith to the Creator , who use to prays in the early mornings summoning Allah so that  his doa be materialised with a happy ending.
