Morning or Night Run

I'm a night owl since birth, or maybe used to be. I can't really stay awake in the mornings. Even on normal days, my brain ain't shut on in the morning. Hence, I suffered quite a lot during my schooling days because I just can't stay focus.

But yes, I can wake up for morning marathons on the weekend without having much trouble. Though at time, it can be a bitch, but the joy of running in the morning, is kind of different. It's something which I don't get to enjoy that often apart from running at night.

I've been finding out whether is there any difference in running in the morning and running at night. After much research, there isn't much. When I mean difference, I mean something like which is healthier, which is better for weight loss and etc.


Honestly speaking, I prefer to embrace the sunset or should I say enjoy the silence of the cooling night, as compared to the wee early mornings of the day whereby the temperature of the surrounding would slowly increased. In short, I prefer hot to cold, rather than cold to hot.

I've heard about some running myths like for example, a person who run in the morning empty stomach is able to burn whatever he/she eat the night before. And for a person who run in the evening, he/she can only burn what he/she had ate in the day. Myths are just myths.

After running for like nearly a year, the biggest difference of running at different point of the day, would be the amount of oxygen level at different time of the day. I find myself going breathless easily whenever I run at night as compared  to when I attend marathon. It's much more tiring to run at night though because you are snatching the oxygen with the trees. This didn't really cross my mind until I start to think through it.

Though I'm a night run person, I don't totally excuse myself from a morning exercise hence I joined marathon. Not being able to wake up early in the morning during weekdays, doesn't stop me from waking up early in the weekends. Afterall, you do not need to force yourself to stay awake in the day on weekends, so no matter how tired you are in the morning, it's fine! :)

Running at night as compare to the morning, one will experience a totally different running experience. You have to do it to experience it yourself. Words can't really describe it.

In short, I do my routine training only at night and find myself running easier for marathons in the morning. And not forgetting, I used to hate running because it's so tiring, then I realized I was doing it wrong all along. I do find it quite unbelievable that I'm enjoying it that much now.  

It's amazing how I started from 5km to 6km to 8km and the soon to be 10km. I do feel butterfiles in my stomach 1 day before my race, worrying whether can I make it and etc. But if you never try, you won't know how far you can go.

I'm looking forward to complete my first half marathon in time to come and not forgetting a full marathon.

Yoshimaru Ramen Bar @ Holland Village Part 2, OOTD Reviews

Derp and I are back to Yoshimaru Ramen Bar again for dinner.  We have a $10 return voucher all thanks to the amex credit card promotion. 

We managed to squeeze time out to use this voucher before it expires. This time round, Derp had the curry cheese ramen, whereas I had the shabu shabu beef ramen. 


 Curry Cheese Ramen

Shabu Shabu Beef Ramen

I think we prefer our order the other time rather than what we have ordered this time round. I didn't finish my noodles at all and Derp find the whole curry cheese combination by them kind of weird. The shabu shabu beef contains too much fatty meat hence I ate till quite pek cek. I'm not a fan of fatty meat. I've got to detach the fats away from the lean meat before I put it in my mouth.

Check out my previous review on Yoshimaru Ramen Bar here

Brunch @ Kith Cafe (Parkmall)

I met up with highness to have brunch @ kith cafe! :) We haven't met ever since her 21st birthday party. I was hoping to meet her before I fly off to BKK. 

Waking up early on a Sunday may seems to be a difficult thing to do, but at times you just don't wish to let your Sunday go to waste by sleeping whole day. A good way to spend it is to have brunch and catch up with friends on a Sunday!  

Kith cafe doesn't allow reservation hence we have to do walk in. Anyway, it was just the 2 of us hence it was easy to get a table. They allow you to drop down your name and contact number on this clipboard outside their restaurant, the waitress will come back to call for your name when the table is ready. :) 

So you can just go ahead and self service write your name on it if you see that they are really busy. There isn't a proper queuing point, so it's best to write down your name asap because they go accordingly! 

Btw, they have more outdoor seats than indoor seats. It isn't that hot from what I see, though I was given a indoor table. The ventilation could be better because my hair smells like bacon after I left the place. So outdoor seats might not be a bad choice uh? 

This is just part of their menu, you can find these extended menu here




Highness ordered the ice caramel coffee whereas I ordered the ice coffee latte :) 

Oh if you're wondering what's beside our drink, that's our spread for the bread which will be served later. Highness prefer the strawberry jam whereas I go for the nutella spread! It have always been my one and only choice~ :)


Both of us ordered the Big Breakfast from their breakfast menu. I chose the multigrain bread and scrambled eggs :) The rest were by default. Their shrooms were really awesome! It was the first to go off from my plate. 



The multigrain bread was recommended (we asked the waiter for recommendation) or should I say a normal/popular choice among the customers there. It's really yummy and filling. Btw, this was one of the better shots of my face, I look super tired in other photos. -_-".


Highness had her poached egg and also multigrain bread. From her feedback, the poached egg was so-so. I guess scrambled eggs are still a safer choice in times like this. From the looks of it, I do think the poached eggs at Au Chocolat does look better. :)

Some photos of us..


The group of guys sat there for the longest possible time to talk about life. Honestly speaking, guys can be as bitchy as girls. #fact. 

We had a great chat that morning though it was a short meetup.

I would recommend this for brunch gathering with friends or a brunch date with your partner. :) It's a pretty nice place for you to have a good chit chat over a meal.

Paris Baguette @ JEM

Derp and I went to have high tea at Paris Baguette @ Jem on the public holiday. Ever since National Day, there isn't any public holidays! It's always good to have a break in the middle of the week to replenish our sleep. :) Even if it means doing nth the whole day, it's better than being stuck in the office!

It was pretty crowded at Paris Baguette. Our experience ain't that good, due to the fact that one have to find seats yourself. Everyone there was just enjoying and talking, none of them are moving their ass off. It's better to go during weekday nights than on a weekend/public holiday. Horrible crowd! 

We managed to get a seat after standing there for 10-15 minutes, and when I mean stand, I mean standing beside those who are almost done with their food, eye-powering them to give up their seat for us soon! 

Okay enough of my complains,  I went to get the food while Derp chop the seat. I passed by all their pastries and cakes while queuing up. It's like tiong bahru bakery style of concept if you've been to the one at Raffles City Shopping Centre. 

I can't help but take some photos of it because they have a wide variety, and just by looking at them makes me go O.O.


Their signature pudding which is not cheap! 


Their cakes! The pancake style type of cake is so unique! I simply love looking at desserts even without eating them. They are all so pretty! 

Our orders - Derp had the eggtart and maple waffle. They costs $2++ each.


Our pudding. I ordered the mango flavoured pudding and Derp tried the original flavoured pudding. And this small thing costs $4 each. It's not that cheap though. 


We ordered their cafe latte to share as I need some caffeine even on my off day. It was quite a big cup though and it's $5++ if I never remember wrongly.


My cafe latte and mango napolean cake :)  Their cakes are pretty good. It's around 7 bucks if I'm not wrong. It's one of the more expensive cakes around, the other cakes costs around $6+.

 I would definitely go back there for some coffee and cakes next time for dessert. But not their pudding though. I would rather try their bread and pastries because they do have quite a wide variety! 



Me with the small pudding. :) If you've realized, I've ordered mango pudding and mango cake! 

It's a good place to hang out for some desserts but I don't recommend one to go on weekend if you would like to slowly enjoy your food without getting stared at. :)

My #OOTD that day for a casual day out. 

We went back JP to replenish our snacks because our snacks have ran out for the longest possible time. :)

The Heartshape Diamond Ring

Not long ago, I was asking Derp what should I blog about, because I'm running out of topics. He told me that I haven't blog about my ring yet! Initally, I don't have the intention to, because I don't think there's much thing to blog about the ring. I mean seriously, I'm not a diamond ring expert or what. I'm in no position to write much, but anyway it's good to share the knowledge and leave some advice to potential ladies who are going through this phase soon. :)

Since many years back, I've been telling Derp I want a heart shape diamond ring. I've no idea why too, I've all along preferred a heart shape diamond over a normal round/square shape. I was going for something more unique and a really me type of ring :) 

I've been spending some time trying to find out, which jeweler in Singapore sells heart shape diamond ring. 
It doesn't seems so common though. 

I came across Vivo Diamonds and Jann Paul . Both of which are private jewelers hence you can get really affordable rings from them and yet customize to your liking. Vivo diamonds have heart shape diamonds and you can customize the ring setting to have pink diamonds, which I kind of went gaga over it but I changed my mind as time goes by. I will elaborate more on that part later. 

However, choosing a heart shape ring is not easy! You would not want to end up having a pointed heart shape ring right? It's ugly max, no offence! :) I've really seen it before and tried it on. It's a big nono because I want a fat round heart shape diamond, not those pointed skinny heart shape! It's not as easy as choosing the classic round shape. 

That's what I meant by pointed heart shape. No offence, but it's not the type of ring that I would want. Too pointy! 

Anyway, the biggest problem with private jewelers is, you won't be able to see the final product. Totally no sense of security can? lol! I mean, I won't be able to visualize how it will look like on my hand. It may look pretty but then looks weird on your hand. Or the ring probably don't suit your finger. In short, I'm paranoid because this is the first time Derp spends such a big sum on me haha! 

Going to private jeweler might be a beter way out to get customize or value for money ring but we ended up going to Love & Co to get our ring. I manage to fit into one that suits me. :)FYI, I took less than 1 hour to choose my ring, Probably 1/2 hour or so!

Love & Co LVCprecieux is the name of their collection of heart shape diamond rings. Their website didn't write much. After some research, I couldn't really find the price range of their rings. So I reckoned, we would have to make a trip down one day. And who would have known my ring was decided just like that.

The sales personnel ushered us to the diamond ring area. She did ask me what type am I looking for, and I told her heart shape. So she bring out all her heart shape ring she have at that moment, probably around 5-6 in her whole shop! There really isn't much heart shape diamond ring at that point of time. They don't bring in that much too. 

I'm glad I manage to choose something nice out from there if not I would have to go back again. Because the ring's setting and the heart shape diamond was what I'm looking for, simply perfect and the price was below Derp's budget. If the setting wasn't what I'm looking for, more money would have to be spent in order to top up to change it. If we didn't get it that day, it might just be sold the next day and I probably won't see the same ring again. 

Out of curiosity, I did give the normal round shape solitaire a chance by trying them on. Sad to say, Derp and I concluded it doesn't suits me. 

Btw, some info to share, most of the heart shape diamonds are not small in the first place. They do have 0.2/0.3 as the smallest, but trust me, they don't look much different from round shape diamond. 

If you want your diamond to be prominent, don't choose those with small diamond settings. Go for something simple and thin. It will totally bring out the whole solitaire. A 0.5 carat will look like at least 0.7 carat. 

For my heart shape, it's really tricky. If I were to go for side diamonds, I would need a even bigger heart shape diamond in the middle(at least 0.7). If not my heart shape would be camouflaged in between those side diamonds and look totally weird and awful. I did try something like that when I was there, a 0.4 will look like 0.3. #emoshit #cantfindwheretheheartshapeis 

It actually look like this,but the one I tried on was much more awful. lol! This is considered pretty but I'm not finding something so bling. I'm going for the bling on my wedding band instead of engagement ring. I've got the intention to wear both together so they must compliment each other, and not stealing attention from each other! :) 

Having said so much, presenting to you once again my ring..


Honestly speaking, I don't give a shit about the 4Cs. As long it's not yellowish type of diamond, I'm perfectly fine. I really don't think one can tell what grade of diamond you are wearing, unless they are some expert can? The one I fall in love with and fits me well, so fated it has a average 4Cs. I'm contented.

If you ask me, I also don't know exactly la! I can't be going around telling people "eh mine is D grade, what's yours?" -_-" Or "eh mine is flawless cut, yours leh?" *roll eyes*

As for size wise, it all depends on your fingers. You can't probably ask a girl with finger size of 1 or 2 to be wearing a 1 carat. That's quite scary! At the end of the day, I chose my ring base on this theory "wear liao chio can liao". That's how simple.

Happy choosing your ring if you are going to choose in time to come! :)

Ending with a closeup photo of the ring...

i-Love to Run 2013 Couple Challenge @ Jurong Point


Derp and I participated in the i-Love to Run 2013 Couple challenge last Sunday! Fun but yet tiring! 

It was organized by Jurong Point and I-weekly. The prize is really attractive. Just by participating in the qualifying round, participants will get a goodie bag and also a event t-shirt by Denizen :) Not forgetting, there will be running man fan-meet tickets up for grab in the lucky draw. 

Participant were asked to complete 8 stations within 90 minutes. At the different stations, there's different tasks and it was mainly adapted from Running Man variety show. 


Game stations were mainly at the different sponsors shop/outside the shop. That was a big hint given by the host. 

Our race start at 5pm and we were to report at 4pm for registration. Derp and I were early, and that's because I stay so near to Jurong Point. I was feeling kind of kan cheong so I told him let's go there early. Who knows we were way too early, they only start the registration from 4pm onwards, we went to had some desserts first. 

Once 4pm reached, we were the first couple! After getting the t-shirt and also our so call team 'bib', we went to change, deposit our bag and got back to JP1 centre stage to gather. 

All the mission clues were in the picture form, and everyone starting station was different. We were given the new Sony Xperia Z1. Our mission was all given to us on this phone, really kind of running man style eh? The countdown timer started and we dashed off. I'll elaborate more on the various stations below..In the mean while, pictures time!


Our team number..


Our couple photo taken by the event staff, she didn't press focus before taking our photo, hence the blurness! Oh this was takenafter the race, really shag max. It's worse than running a marathon. Because we were sprinting all the way, not leisure jog. 


Our team 'bib' at the back of our shirt. And it was falling off very badly because of our sweat! 

Before we left, we took a photo with Yes 933 dj, Jia Fa :). He was the one giving all the instructions and hint before the race starts. 


Our total score! I come to find out the highest score for the couple challenge was 77/80. I've no idea how the hell they do it, and having to say that, we did not make it to the finals. It's the process that's more important :)

When we were submitting our scores to the organizer after we return, there's these 2 girls who saw our scores, and muttered to themsevles that they think Derp and I will enter the finals. Derp overheard it and I went like O.O.  They think too highly of us liao. Because I'm very sure there's many teams who did even better during the qualifying race. Afterall, there's more than 50 teams in total participating for the couple challenge.

Now I shall talk about the running man type of games played during this race..

Station A - It was at Denizen. The task were to fold 10 T-shirts within 1 minute, they must be in the order of the largest shirt at the bottom of the stack, and smallest shirt at the top of the stack. They allowed us to sort out the clothes first before they time us. We failed at the first attempt hence we only scored 9 points. If you get it right on the first time, your points would not be deducted. That goes the same for every stations.

We concluded that if 1 person do the sorting while the other just concentrate on folding, it will be done faster. For example if 1 shout XL, the person will dig the XL out for him/her to fold. Derp and I fold the clothes at the same time, but we weren't fast enough and the space given to us were darn small.

We spent unwanted time sorting out the t-shirts before we start folding. Time is really precious during this race. We almost could not make it back and we will be disqualified if we didn't report back by 90 minutes. Phew..we managed to make it.

Station B - 1 person is to be blindfolded, and holding on to a stop watch, he/she have to start and stop the timer at exactly 60 seconds. It's really very hard because even if it's 59.98, you will still be deem as failing the mission. It's probably the hardest station among the 8 stations.

 Derp and I took turns to try and eventually we choose to give up. We were awarded 0 point. There's others who tried 10 times and didn't get through the stage, they also get 0 point. Derp and I don't really wish to waste time on this almost-impossible mission.

Station C - It was at John Little! We were suppose to find a person in John Little to get the i-Love to run event sticker within 1 minute. It's like those in running man, the R sticker. And mind you, John Little @ Jurong Point has 2 levels. -_-'.

Eventually, Derp found the person with a little help of the sales personnel at John Little. They were all similing at us actually, whenever I run pass them. I really want to beg them for help lor! The person were hiding among the clothes at the clothes rack. -_-".We scored 7 points, which means we took around 4 minutes. 1 points were deducted for every minute pass after the first 1 minute.

Station D - It was at this tea shop at the basement of JP1. Till date, I've no idea what the shop name is, but anyway, the mission was to taste 3 different types of tea while being blind folded, and we have to guess which tea it was among the 5 options givren.

We got it right on the first try because of my good tastebud. Or should I say normal tastebud? Derp can't even tell 1 of the tea we tasted was lemon tea, to me it was 100% guaranteed chop lemon flavoured tea. lol!

Station E -  The dance machine station. It was probably the 2nd hardest station among all the 8 stations. Okay probably to us, it was.We have to be blindfolded, and wore a counter on our wrist/leg, we have to so call dance to the music. The counts on our wrists/leg were to add up to the number which was hand-picked by us from their box.

We could have done it at our 4th try but we were lack of 1 count! gosh. It was really not easy, some other team which came by and got it right on the first try! I've seen couples which only need to reach 6-10 on their counter.

In the end, I asked Derp to shake his wrists all the way till the required number, and I shall not move my legs! It's okay for 1 of us to have 0 on our counter. We should have done it this way from the start and not waste so much time on the station. Probably, the longest spending time station.

Station F - Find the correct nail polish on your partner's fingers @ Etude House. Derp was the one getting his thumb paint, and I cheong-ed in to find the correct color on his finger. Got it right on the first time :) It's not hard for a person who do manicure quite often lol. Plus the color he chose was the easiest, the other colors were too close to each other.

Station G - Our second last station, at Zinc. Our task was to find 2 stickers being hidden in the shop's bag within 1 minute. We failed at our first attempt and got it right on our 2nd chance. That's with the kind and great help from the game station IC. They really hid the stickers inside the zip of those small tiny sling ball.

Derp was saying they see me ransacking the shop, almost tear the whole Zinc shop down liao. Hence, the game station master faster help me! LOL! Oh but I must admit, I created a mess in the shop. Btw. there were customers in the shop at the same time.

Station H - Piang, finally reached the last station! Feel like dying and we were running out of time. Anyway, we were suppose to assemble this plane shape lego, following the instruction booklet. All the legos are super tiny small, and once you fix them together,.it's not easy to take it out. FML! The time allowance is 10 minutes. We manage to make it though. Derp has the patience and I'm feeling pek cek. lol!

The game station master even praise us after she know it's our last station, she told us that there's still many who had not came to their station. O.O. By then, we have only like less than 10 minutes to report back before the 90 minutes are up!

At the last 100 metre to the main station, I told Derp to go ahead because I really can't dash anymore. I asked him to go first. I foresee that happening at our upcoming marathons. lol! Super drama~ but anyway the organizer have to see me report back also before they take in our scores.

The final results are base on your sources and also if you have the same score as other team, they will take the team which report back at the fastest time.

The pretty bag sponsored by Zinc. They gave it to us after we complete their station :)

My only #OOTD that day :)

Thanks Derp for joining this 'race' with me. haha! Though I know you were not that into it, but eventually you also take this race seriously. We gave in our best shot even though we never think of getting into finals. Just doing our best, and we had fun and the goodiebag vouchers were really good :) Oh, we did piss many shoppers at Jurong Point off during the race, because we were dashing pass by or saying excuse me! Opps!

It's our first race as fiance and fiancee. More to come! We successfully create some memories at Jurong Point before we move out of jurong island in time to come.

Good luck to those who got in the finals which is happening tml! All the best and fighting!

10 Lessons Running Teaches You About Life

I chance upon this article and find it worthwhile sharing it on my blog.Do take sometime to read, especially if you're a runner yourselves. Because you'll find whatever written below, totally true!

So here goes, the 10 lessons running teachers you about life.

1. When things get tough, just keep going.

"When most people encounter a rough patch, they quit.  The truly successful people in the world keep going no matter what.  Never let your setbacks win."

During a routine training run/a marathon, there's bound to be route which are not as smooth as the normal routes which you usually take. Be it going up/down a steep slope, or a congested road with many runners trying to go through it at a same time, whatever it is, just keep going.

2. Consistency creates habit.

"To incorporate anything into your life, you have to make it a habit.  To make something a habit, you have to be consistent.  Whatever it is you’re aiming for, make it a part of your life."

I never start to like running instantaneously, infact I took awhile to make it a habit and incorporating it into my life. Many a time, I go for a run subconsciously and never dread about it because it has already become a habit. Doing the same thing over and over again,  make one gets better at it.

3. You’ll have to get through hell before you get to heaven.

"Like all things worth pursuing, you are going to get knocked down, stepped on, and rejected along the way.  Consider this to be part of the path to your goals.  Sometimes it’s more about the journey than the destination."

At times, training can be going through hell. No matter how tired you are, you have to drag yourself to do it. Just do it!

4. Reaching your goals will take a lot of work.

"If it doesn’t, it’s either not a goal, not worth pursuing, or will not have any fulfillment.  Never expect to not put in work and get somewhere."

You can't expect a amateur to train 1 month and complete a full marathon with above average timing. It take years and a lot of hard work.

5. Every aspect of life is mental.

"It’s not about what you do or what happens to you, it’s about how to respond to it.  It’s how you decide to carry on.  Your power comes from inside your head."

6.  You do have time– you just have to make it.

"If something is important to you, you’ll make time for it.  If not, you’ll make excuses."


There are some who rather die than to move their ass to exercise, are often the one making excuses - fact. This show that how unimportant exercise is to them.

7. You define your own limits.

"Your limits aren’t put unto you by your parents, other people, or the universe.  You are in total control of it.  You decide whether or not to shoot for the moon or stay right where you are."

The sky is my limit.

8. If you wait for the right conditions, you’ll never get anything done.

"Don’t wait for anything or anybody.  You know what you have to do to reach your goals and get things done. Just go do them!"

Yea, you don't need the sun to be at the highest point in the sky of the day, or they moon to be a full moon, then you will get down to run. Or should I say, even if it rains, there's alternative, as simple as that.

9. Go beyond your limits every day and watch the magic happen.

"You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve if you just push yourself a little further."

Every time you push yourself for another few minutes of your routine training, you'll find youself getting unexpected results. You may think you might not make it, but many a time, you will make it! It's all in the mind.

10. There is peace even in the most chaotic times.

No matter now grueling, stressful, sorrowful, or painful your situation is, there is always a silver lining and something positive to be found.  Seek it out, learn from it, and keep moving on.

After every marathon, there's your 100 plus waiting for you or finishing medals/t-shirt. Not forgetting the pride and sense of achievement that you gained. It's priceless.

Graduation Photoshoot

I engaged Darwis aka my uni buddy someway back in June for this photoshoot. I can't really remember when I asked him, but I know I've been waiting for this graduation shoot for 2 years! 终于让我等到了! Glad that I'm not that old yet to be taking graduation shoot. :)

We met up at NTU for the photoshoot the day after National Day. We look at NTU in a different way now because we didn't know there's so many nice places in NTU. In actual fact, many places don't looked like it's NTU. There are many parts of the school which have changed quite a bit ever since I stepped out of there 2 years ago. And yes, that include a starbucks in NTU which I never get to enjoy it at all!

When I first upload the sneak preview, I don't understand why, when people have already seen the graduation robe and started asking us is it pre-wedding photo. Honestly speaking, I don't know how they link it up! *roll eyes* It can be just a normal graduation and casual couple shoot ma! No idea how they link to pre-wedding photos. Pre-wedding photos != graduation photoshoot!

All these photos are essential be it graduation/couple shoot for my wedding montage in the future. Better start to collect them now if not I will really start to panic when the actual wedding day comes! There's no harm in taking photoshoot because you never know when you will need it, be always prepared!

We didn't opt for the normal boring studio type of graduation shoot, with all the book shelves backdrop behind because it's way tooo boring and common. We also don't really wish to travel far, for example: MBS or marina barrage because I think it will be too crowded on a Saturday. Hence, we settled our location at NTU.

I've uploaded the graduation photos on my facebook but not the casual coupleshoot. Afterall, the main point is graduation shoot! The casual couple shoot was on the go~ 1 bird kill 2 stones :) I might just upload my casual couple shoot sometime later or one may get it see it on my wedding montage lol!

Okay I shall not continue my ranting, and show your the photos. I chose the nicer one to put it here, and also some behind the scene photos that was taken by Darwis. There's some of the photos below which I didn't upload to facebook though. lol! Enjoy..

Cute right? Sad to say, the newer version of the NTU graduation bear is not cute anymore, it looks weird!

Oh yes I've got dimples! LOL! No la, it's just this shot which makes me look like I have dimples.

I'm suppose to throw the bear to hit Derp's head. Derp's expression is too fake hence I never upload it anywhere.

Failed attempt shots, but to think of it, it didn't look damn bad at all. We tried this many time and when it's my turn to push Derp, he fell. opps! So much for trying..we give up in the end and the library was closing.

I suggested to take against this background and realise it's actually nth fascinating lol! It looks as though it's going to rain.

Though it may be a tiring experience, but it's really fun! Thanks Darwis for helping us take these photos and travelling down all the way to the west for this shoot. That's what buddies are for! Alrighty, till then~
