POLAND DAY #1

MY POLAND HOLIDAY with Ethan! 
So this is my very first time going on a holiday out of the country without my family! It is also my first holiday with my boyfriend and his family omg. I am so touched that they took me with them :') SO SWEET!

Ignorant as it may seem, from someone who did quite well in her O level History, I totally forgot what Historical relevance Poland had......

So Ethan & I watched Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List prior to going on this holiday and that's when I remembered that some people in my History class in Whitley Sec back in Singapore went on a History school trip to Poland and they went to the exact places where we went to I can't believe that was totally wiped out of my memory!

Unfortunately, only the ones who scored like above 90% could go for that school trip, it cost like SG$2000(maybe a little lesser) per student :O! I'm so glad that I didn't go because it didn't cost that much for me to go to Poland, especially because its within Europe so its cheap. 

My flight cost £60(SG$120) including taxes & return flight ;P
Eating & shopping in Poland is also CHEAP. I loved it there especially our hotel room!I would sooo go back there again!

DAY #1
This is Ethan's special holiday sandwich which is stuffed with eggs, 2 different types of sausages, smokey bacon, brown sauce & ketchup!VERY UNHEALTHY so that's why he only makes when he goes on holiday

Our drinks, Haribo gummies & cookie crumble Galaxy chocolate!Yumyum!

We flew by Ryanair so the baggage allowance was only a hand luggage so I had to literally plan out exactly what I was going to wear each day because of that.
Not to mention the huge misunderstanding of the limit on liquids you can take on air. Ethan gave me the impression that the total amount of liquid you can take is 100ml, turns out you can bring up to a litre of liquids but they have to be in separate amounts of 100ml. I had to choose between my toothpaste and deodorant (I left my deodorant and used Ethan's instead :p)

Preparing for take off ;p

First flight without my family, I'm such a grown up!

Haribo gummy rings <3 
an awesome alternative for wedding rings.

The flight was only 2 hours, but with my asthma, my body is rather sensitive to the air in planes :/ so I started to have a bad sniffle which turned into a cold! FML, I was finally on a holiday(apart from trips to Singapore) and  my asthma decides to kick in!

I can be quite obsessive with health, so I popped Echinacea tablets for weeks on end prior to the holiday as I was paranoid that I would fall ill. Clearly, it had no use.

I am quite proud of myself because I actually did not let my bad cold get to me, I forced myself to be positive because I was on holiday and there was no way I was going to be a baby and rest in the hotel all day. I forgot I even had a cold most of the time which was great.


Our room at Hotel Royal was AWESOME!

Ethan's mum had no idea at all as to what to expect with the hotel room as she booked it without knowing what the rooms looked like and kept telling us to expect the least but.... the moment we walked in, all of us were like WOW THIS IS HUGE!It was very Victorian themed with tall doors, long curtains, 2 double beds, high ceilings and a massive amount of space.

After running into each other's room to see if everyone had the same awesome room, we headed to a well-know Jazz bar called Jazz Club, just round the corner of the hotel.


It was really dark inside the bar but it was like going into a cave, it was so quaint and hidden that I loved it!It was nice just chilling out and listening to the Jazz band play on our first night.

I decided I needed some cold tablets so I went to what seemes like a Pharmacy, unfortunately the lady did not know English and I ended up purchasing some laxatives with Polish instructions(I only found out they were laxatives when I got back to England and googled it) but just as I walked out, I spotted Panadols and got them instead to stick the safer side. So glad I did that as my cold along with the aftermath of two laxatives would not have been a pretty scene for Ethan.

I'll update day 2 very soon!We spent the day at the very pretty city area :)

Poland is just so amazing, ignorant as it may seem, I did not expect it to be anything like it was. I did have the assumption that it would be a backward country but Krakow is definitely as modern as Central London, I dare say.

6 months

Guess what my boyfriend got me for our 6 months anniversary.......

A Vivienne Westwood bracelet!I always feel like I'm about to burst into tears whenever he does such things for me.

And he got me pretty flowers in my fave colours, he even got me a pink rose :') I am so grateful to have him. I still feel like a schoolgirl who gushes about her crush and giggles whenever she thinks of him. Everytime I think about us, I always wonder how the hell I got him.

Pretty Flowers!
Its been a year since I met my dream guy and its been half a year since we got together. We've been the cheesiest couple ever and I never ever thought I'd ever find a guy I can be like that with but here I am being the most annoying loved up couple with him, not bothering about people sneering at us lol. We are very pda and I'm not bothered about what people have to say to that.

He took me to Manchester on Saturday and its been seriously hot here all week. I had to bare my fats for all to see, well, I do that anyway, Its come to a point where people just have to deal with it lol. It was awesome to be away from Doncaster and we had a super cute meal at Frankie&Benny's cos I had a single Bacon Cheeseburger and he had a double stack philly cheeseburger(hungry boy) so it seemed like His and Hers burgers. We went to a massive Urban Outfitters and I've never actually bought anything from there even when we went to London but I'm constantly looking for my white nirvana tee and cheap monday shirt :/ its never there. Anyway, there was a restaurant that sold Laksa for friggin £11!!!thats $22 wtf! I knew it'll be shit anyway so we didnt have anything from there. We spent a whole lovely day in Manchester and got some money for Poland(which we leave for in a week's time!!!wheeee!!!) then back to good old Donny for a few drinks in the pub and snuggled up together back home :)

I was in a relationship before Ethan, I think loads of people obviously know about that but without sounding bad, I was only with my ex cos I thought thats all I can get so I should just stick with him even though I didnt want to, it never felt right and we always conflicted. When I met Ethan, he and I were in a relationship with someone else, in fact he was my friend's boyfriend at that time :/ Its not as bad as it sounds!but the moment we met we did not leave each other's sight at the party we were at, it was like nothing else mattered. He's the best thing that's ever been mine and I probably sound very sickening and cliche but its really like a fairytale with him.

 Like today, he brought me to a place where it seemed like we were part of a postcard. It was a massive hilly field with lots of cupid flowers and it was literally so huge you couldnt see one house or anything, its the type of place where you can never find your way back. It was just us in a never ending field with footpaths that lead you to another pretty field. It might have been something he was used to with him living here all his life, but it was different for me. It was beautiful, quiet and serene. That's our special place now, a huge "countryside" where its just us there and no one else. I laughed at the fact that in Singapore, I found Toa Payoh Town Park as like the most prettiest park ever and when I came here the scenery just totally shut me up with that cos its everywhere and they're not even tourist attractions. I'll snap a few pictures the next time I am there, he already thinks its weird that I'm always taking pictures of random things but hey I'm still Singaporean and that's what we do lol.

This is the first time in my life I got the guy I wanted, I believe he is the one, we are too alike for words its unreal. I am never letting my Ethan Huntington go.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR POLAND YAY!Its my first time on holiday overseas without my family and my first holiday with my boyfriend(and his parents&grandparents) so Im superduperfriggin excited!:D 6 more days!6 more days!yay! kthanxbai
