So, i'm thinking that thats at least something right? but it's not really what i want and before i go into something this huge, i need to be so so sure that its really what i want to do, right? there needs to be absolutely no doubt in my mind that Malaysia is where i want to go, right?
By stroke of luck, he some how got added to my google chat contacts and i approched him:
