Well, I would have to go with waking up to a Cayman S or 911 Turbo for Christmas; barring that, however, probably a nice new digital camera and a Palm TX PDA. Given that my birthday was on December 7th, I will probably use that as a delayed excuse to wait and buy a T61p next year. :)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Thanks Koh

I wish I was on Singapore Airlines en route to the Mentawais to go surfing.

Best wishes to you over there on the other side of the world.

Ah, yeah... 1983 or so... SQ1 SFO to SIN via HKG in Business Class in a Big Top 747. That was a nice trip. Since we're wishing, how about a repeat of that trip with a side excursion to SYD for a couple of weeks :) .

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Christmas where the gum tress grow
There is no ice and there is no snow
Christmas in Australia is hot
Cold and frosty is what its not. :banana:

Santa proves that he's no fool
Spends Christmas by the swimming pool
When the Jacaranda blooms appear
Christmas time is near! :beer:

Cheers,

Bill

Well, if it's anything like it is today, then it'll be the first Christmas I remember that I've been rugged up... :lol:

Thing is, I love the rain! Just that I'll need to change into something a bit warmer soon before it gets any more chilly. I remember about 2 years ago almost to the day it was this cold but not wet and miserable...

Hey hey, you don't get like that either.

It can be interpreted the other way too to say "I don't mind a Christmas wish from *all* Singaporeans, not just 'Mature' ones" as stated in the original post. Perhaps a ;) emoticon was needed or left out. It isn't bad per se by default.

I see your point. I did not take it that way. Regardless, I still am not fully comfortable with double-entendre. Some (maybe one or two) will take it like I did.

Well, not now that it has been "clarified" nobody won't!... So we can only hope:D


By the way folks, giving christmas gifts (especially to those that might want a Porsche) is greatly encouraged. ;) :)

Exactly what I meant...I can't see what makes it a double entendre. Just wanted to make that clear...I have no reason to make any sort of comment to offend anyone. I'll do a retrospective smiley addition just to confirm the light hearted intentions of what I said :)

Anyway, back to topic...I'm yet to do most of my Christmas shopping - my family are notoriously hard to buy for. :?:

Mike, I just found her web site and agree she's very attractive. But she's almost a decade older than me.

@NS

I did not accuse you of any improper behavior. My comments were directed to another user, but it was because I misunderstood what they were saying. If I had understood their intent, I would not have posted what I did.

What's my wish? Well I'm not posting it here.

I do wish you well.

So? Statistically you'll likely die at the same time! Women on average live longer than men.

Ben Franklin had some interesting observations on older women.

As a mathematician, you'll appreciate the fact that (e.g.) 20 goes into 30 more than 30 into 20! :wink:
