So a month or so ago Mark told me he got a job overseas. He was looking for work where I live as well (which is what I was really hoping for) but he wasn’t successful here. The job he ended up getting was somewhere else in an English speaking Asian country.

The day after he told me this, ‘I know the pilot’ sent me a notification for really cheap flights to that country at the end of the year. It was a sign! Or at least that’s how some people I know have chosen to interpret it.

Anyway I deliberated on it for a couple of days and spoke to my friend (the one I went to South Korea with) about it and she basically said “we’re going, and you’re meeting this guy.”

So I sent him a message.

“Hey Mark, not trying to stalk you or anything, but do you want to meet up? There are some really cheap flights I can get my hands on but I need to know now.”

Or well… something like that.

I spent the next 2 days in suspense. Like you’re watching a mystery movie, you get to the end where it’s about to all be revealed and… the movie freezes for two.whole.days. That kind of level of suspense.

Finally I got the reply. My heart was racing. This was it. The turning point of our 2 year long pen pal relationship. What did he say..?

Find out next week!

I’m kidding.

HE SAID YES!

My flights and accommodation have been booked. I will be travelling overseas at the end of the year to meet my mystery friend. There’s about 4 months to go. What could possible go wrong? haha…ha…

Don’t jinx it.
