Ladies and gents, friends, mormons, countrymen, ninjas, beloved reindeer, members of the audience,

I will be leaving the sunny land of Singapura for the wild, untamed Americas on Tuesday, the 25th of July, Anno Domini 2006. The carriage of the skies will depart as the sun rises, at 720am, and will be known by the name United Airlines, and it will touch the groundat 847pm, at Castle Dulles.



What rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethelhem to be born?
