Dr C: so where are you from?
me: malaysia.
Dr C: nice! i've been there many times, love it! which part of malaysia are you from?
me: err.. 2 hours north of KL (have given up replying "ipoh" at this point, since nobody ever knows where it is).
Dr C: what's the name of the place?
me: err.. ipoh.
Dr C: oh cool! passed it by on the way to cameron's! i've been to KL, penang, pulau kapas, pulau perhentian, pulau tioman, pulau pangkor, pulau whatevershit #1, pulau whatevershit #2...
