Off to see the Hoff

- So Evie, what are you doing for the Chinese New Year long week end? (we get 3 days off work)
- Oh you know, nothing special, just going to the Philippines to chill out.

Hold on a minute? Nothing special?? I am going to one of the top beaches in the world (the internet said so), where I am going to be snorkelling, possibly diving, pina-colada-ing and s.l.e.e.p.i.n.g for five days. All this with 5 of my top buddies in HK.

Two years ago before living here I would have killed to be in my shoes. But now I am in my shoes! (And without having needed a homicide either!).

This calls for a separate post about the things we tend to take for granted when living out here.

Aaaaaanyhooooow, to top it all, I am seriously hoping that this time tomorrow my friends and I will be looking like something like this:



(I am secretely hoping that David-the-Hoff-Hasselhoff might be planning a vacation there too).

Me too, nothing special.. just off to Koh Phi Phi for a few days - as you do ;-)
Have a great time and hope you find yourself a silver fox hot enough to challenge the Hof!

PL - Hmm, but then it's a good excuse to drink chocolat viennois in Parisian cafes :-)
Nicey - Hey, you are right, I notice the Hoff might actually have some ab flab he is trying hard to hide
HKOB - Have a great time in Bali! I take you up on your challenge, in my next post..
Lola - Wuuuh, hope KPP was fun, do tell. I did not find many silver foxes but had amazing laughs with my foxy lady friends, which was even better.

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Welcome back.

Of course the Hoff wouldn't be sucking in his gut if he did Kickboxing a lot, cos there wouldn't be a gut that had to be sucked in!

im heading to da beach too in a week! aiya.. where in Europe are you froM?

Evie said...

Mouse - but maybe the action of sucking in the abs actually eventually burns off the flab?
E - thanks for stopping by. I like to entertain the mystery about my origins a bit, but let's say I have lived in Paris for a long while :-)
