The second time he called.

The second time Rosedy called was an invitation to accompany him to Johore for a presentation on GIS for Bekalan Air Johore. In fact even before I can say no there was already a ticket sent to me.

At AIFM, we fly quite often, not just within Malaysia but also to Asean countries through the various collaborative projects and technical working group meetings. So the ticket was no big deal.

But not known to me earlier was MAKATA a.k.a. Mokhtarudin is also with us on the same flight. MAKATA was also an old boy and I knew him when he was in Terengganu and during weekends I use to spend time at their bachelors house in Pasir Panjang. He used to work in Jabatan Ukur Terengganu before being transfered to Sabah.

MAKATA must have done quite a good job convincing me to reconsider the offer and not long after we went back to KL and after some night Istiharah prayers I had already decided to take the offer.
