Cock A Doodle Doo

ICT, again, offered an object lesson on the value of time, even if it wasn't in itself that unenjoyable - partly due to the location, this time round. It's really something to just wrap a sleeping bag around oneself, lying on a flattened patch of grass (as good as any mattress I've come across, frankly), and beholding the stars above; Melville captured the feel quite exquisitely in Moby-Dick: "...there you lie, like the one warm spark in the heart of an arctic crystal."

Mr. Robo: *walking by* Mr. Ham, I do understand the connection with the current Chinese zodiac, but I don't think that sending annotated pictures of the corresponding part of your anatomy is appropriate for the head of a trading firm...

Mr. Ham: *flipping through book* And that's why you're just a lowly intern, Mr. Robo - you don't understand what truly matters, in this line. Heck, get a load of the tales in this tell-all memoir that the human got. We're already too tame for the big leagues, as it is. As it turns out, the sort of guys who's slinging hundreds of millions about, are also often the kind who'll stuff others' personal effects down their pants... and ooh, quite a few references to Singapore, here.

But fine, fine, I've got an alternative greeting, too:


HAPPY YEAR OF THE... (it's the yugest one, I tell you)

And hey, nice hamster soft toy, human.

Me: Thanks, cousin got it for my birthday.

Mr. Ham: An excellent choice. Exactly what I would have gotten too, had I bothered to.

Me: ...much appreciated. They almost go by too quickly as you get older, though.

Well, there happened to at least be a bachelor party about that time, with two of the guys due their ball n' chain. Still, it was turning out to be the saddest stag night in the history of stag nights - all the more as I consider my singing a negative externality - until one of the fellows saved the day, by actually springing for companionship. They actually cuddle, you know.

Mr. Ham: *puffs on cigar* That's the way it goes, human.

Me: Eh, there's a lot more ground to cover, but let me take some time to get back into the hang of writing. As for now, let me leave with a song from one of the movies from the flight:


Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two...
[Lyrics]
