I opted for Alumnus interview which took place in Starbuck, KL Malaysia. To be on the safe side I ordered plain H2O while the he ordered latte. It rained so heavily that both of us were wet. He asked whether we should postpone the interview, I said it is difficult to reschedule hence we proceeded with the interview.

Advice for International Student:
Choose Alumna/Alumnus that is of same nationality as you. In my case I did my homework and found out that there is Malaysian Fuqua Alumnus in KL thus I opted for Alumnus interview. Malaysians are generally very friendly, very helpful and very nice so if you get a choice i highly recommend to go with a Malaysian Alumna/Alumnus.
