Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, fans and critics, I hereby announce that I shall be returning to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I shall summarize the decision by showing an MSN conversation with Choi Wan.

I wanted to publish this as it took considerable amounts of literary prowess to carry the deliberately flamboyant dialogue. Unfortunately the first part is not available so we will start off mid-conversation, one that took place September 22 2008.

Burn after Justin the Wan have i uttered these words?
