there's no such thing as an ugly girl!

like the title states, i don't believe there are ugly females.

i'm not someone who will encourage you
to pile on a ton of make up 
but rather, i believe that make-up is suppose to 
just accentuate what you're born with.

*WARNING* 
this is definitely for those who still have no clue what to do,
or how to apply the basic eyeliner. 
and no! i'm not calling you stupid, hunny!
we were all beginners once, long LOOOONG ago



all right! look here!
i have small and boring looking eyes, but
with just a tiny bit of makeup and 5 minutes to spare, 
i'll look totally different! 

after you see this pic, you might believe the existence of ugly girls. :C
.
.
.
.

Let's begin! here i am fresh faced and about to go out.
i've already applied sunscreen and concealer before starting.
 bcuz this is a day look, i want my make up simple and quick. 

now, just dusting on some skin-colored eyeshadow as a base
you can use your fingers if you want :)
applying a skin coloured eyeshadow first.

 


using a small brush or soft applicator, 
line your eyes with black eyeshadow.
i use a hand-help mirror and look 45degrees downward 
for easier application.
using a smaller brush/applicator, look downwards.



so this is what you should have after applying the black eyeshadow. 
it helps you with applying the eyeliner.
after applying black eyeshadow.



Okay, doing the same thing like before, 
look downwards into a mirror and 
line just on top of the roots of your eye lashes! 

i start from the middle going to the outer corner of my eye 
and end by joining the line from the inner to the middle.
repeat a few times to achieve the thickness you prefer 
or to make sure the line on your eyes is smooth.
applying the eyeliner, starting from the middle.





after applying your eyeliner,
you should get something like this! 
looking down into your mirror,
your eyeliner should look like a smooth black line 
resting just at the roots of your lashes.
Just dot your eyeliner pen or felt-tip if you spot a gap.
smooth line :) yay!
thin, smooth flick at the end.



with our Malaysian weather, 
i always try my best to buy waterproof products. 
in my opinion, i think its best to 'coat' the eyeliner 
with eyeshadow one more time to make sure
it's really dried up to avoid smudging.
just apply some eyeshadow on top of the eyeliner



with whatever is left on your brush,
line only the outer corner of your bottom lid.
this time, look upwards or tilt your chin inwards. 
just dot gently, thicker on the outer most corner, 
thinner towards the middle.
don't forget to gently blend it towards the middle.
look upwards and dot gently.

the most simple, easy and quick eyeliner steps :)

here is an optional (extra) step
to bigger and prettier eyes. 
i just applied a single coat of mascara 
and shimmery silver at the inner corners of my eye! 
yea, i hv reli thin short lashes :(



now that i'm done, this is what i look like
after i've applied a lil eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara!
hope you have fun trying this look out, girls!

love my mommee! got me this box of chocs!

here's to my bestie Cass, 
who said she hates that i always get my eyeliner right. 
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS and don't be over ambitious!
you can do it, darls. <3

if you wanna pray, you PRAY! dont go broadcasting it!

I really don't think by 
flooding Twitter and Facebook 
with your prayers is really gonna help Japan right now. 

Updating your status, or tweeting 
what you prayed for Japan
every few minutes or hours, 
seriously, it's not helping! 


I'm not saying you're not allowed to pray 
or update your social network pages, 
but i think it makes you look really insincere.

You wanna pray for them? 
Good, God bless you hunny. 
But keep it to yourself please!


If you have sooooo much time to keep updating,
why not try to collect donations to aid their relief work? 
or even better, VOLUNTEER!

so if the earthquakes
in Christchurch and Japan did not happen,
you don't publish your prayers? 
how odd. i'm confused.


and then,
there are the insensitive bastards/bitches 
who i believe are the products of insufficient moral guidance 
in their younger years and are incapable of 
sympathy/proper conduct in sensitive situations.

i LOVE jokes. 
but the jokes about Japan and it's current crisis?!

"what's the number one hated game in Japan?"
"Quake."

"my Japanese girlfriend just broke up with me, 
but I'm not worried... there are plenty more in the sea" 

please la, have a heart and help out!
if you cant help, shut up.


watch this video on Racism and a really nasty comment
on the tsunami in Japan by this UCLA girl.

and it gets worse as our local newspaper prints a comic
showing Ultraman running away from a wave. 
 
watch this video and see how buildings 
and big tankers gets washed away by the powerful waves.

so you wanna do good in your life? 
here's where you can help Japan if you're in Malaysia. 
 at the end of the day,
lets just all pray sincerely 
and genuinely hope 
that the Japanese will get thru this. 
with of course the aid received from every other country. :)

i just really wish we'd
not use Nuclear power plants. 
i trust the Japanese to come up with 
another idea/innovation/invention to 
produce more power. 
they always do :)

eat, eat and EAT somemore! a FOODIE's habit.

I think being Malaysian means you gotta love all types of food. 
Foodie people, stand proud yo! 


Koganei Japanese Restaurant
Ratings : 4/5 stars





 all this for only RM29.90 in the lunch set!
the food was really good, i was enjoying every bite. except, i didnt really enjoy their
burnt rice tea. it was definitely something new for me to try, but i'd prefer
green tea or jasmine tea. it had a burnt bitter taste and slightly dry to the tongue effect.

oh! order these too! just too yummy! *drools*
soft shell crab sushi rolls
grilled salmon dish and mixed sushi ala carte

Little Italy
Ratings : perfect 5/5 stars!
Starters : eggplant brochettes and cream of chicken soup
my favourite - Insalata di Salmone. thick slices of smoked salmon = heaven




 there's something really awesome about Little Italy's that i cant really describe.
Maybe it's the waiters who has worked there for years, the extremely delicious food, the laid back ambiance or the company of a really good friend. :)
i've always enjoyed this wonderful restaurant. with friends and family, never heard a single complaint.
slightly pricey but you would walk out full and very happy.

just FYI, this is NOT a place for people on a diet!
Fettucini Pomodoro with juicy shrimps and the yummiest sauce!

 Secret Recipe
Location : come on! u guys know where it is.
Ratings : 3/5 stars

i'm not really a big fan of Secret Recipe or cakes in general.
but i LOVE the durian cheesecake.
Joyce had the carrot cake which was... interesting. haha!
i had a bite and thats it, she absolutely loved it. Service was bad though :(

Fish & Co
Location : Warisan Square
Ratings : 3/5 stars
 if you have yet to notice, i love salmon. preferably raw...but no matter :D
the service is good but i guess there must be only one cook, the food came painfully slow.
the drinks tastes really weird, mine tasted like antibiotics.

no complains about the salad.
the salad dressing is surprisingly delicious.
the fried calamari rings have been consistently awesome.
the drinks are a big no-no. their side dishes are quite disappointing in value,
but the dip sauces are fab.

Note from the Foodie!
 more posts coming soon!
click on the Follow Me button on the top right
or if you're lazy, click this : FourSquare  or  Twitter
let's find more places to eat/visit together ya'll! 
take care.

5 Types of Guys to only DATE, not MARRY!

I have a very bad habit.
one that i wished i never had.


no, its not farting or cam-whoring la, people.

it's just that
after i dated a string of guy, dumped them, and
...i later start labelling them. 
I'M SORRY!!! 
T,T




i remember my first boyfriend and.....
oh wait, doesn't everyone? 

...i'd probably label him -
Mr Sensitive Soul
you know, he's like the family man, the mr.nice guy, 
and loves to say "hunnybunny/snookums".
advantages : he knows how to cook and organize family picnics
disadvantage : your mom loves him (toomuch), dad thinks the guy is far too feminine and I'm wiping his tears after offering him MY shoulder to cry on during a chick flick movie 



then after that was
Mr Grumpy.
the guy that cant stop complaining and starts losing his temper by the minute.
advantages : it's predictable, everyday. No surprises when he explodes.
disadvantages : he ruins your day by being a pain in the royal arse. Embarrasses you in public with his screaming or complaints. 

 i met two (2) Mr I-Swear-I'm-Famous!
these guys are like bags of wind, like a desperate struggling artist, 
he tries convincing everyone he's good at this and that! 
advantages : entertains with good stories
disadvantages : you know its all lies, right? :)
confront him and he'll turn into Mr Grumpy






but luck was never on my side, and after two dates,
i gave up on the Hulk.
i don't need to explain it la right? have you watched the movie? 
no, the guy i went out with isn't green and his underwear is not thaaat stretchable.
advantages : to carry shopping bags, my bodyguard after i've caused trouble
disadvantages : might break me in half, sweats like a pig. 





for now, i've proven to myself that buff/hot guys
aren't as gentleman, charming and funny
like Jared Padalecki and Taylor Lautner .

Go ahead and date a common looking guy and be surprised.
*drum rolls please*
 introducing to you - Mr Love Pirate.
just think of Captain Jack Sparrow.
he might not be sweet or cuddly, but golly,
have you asked him how many girls he has already dated?!
and dont forget to ask : "how many more u dating right now?"
Just go check his phone. PRONTO!
advantages : girls get to exercise their slapping skills
disadvantage : i don't like sharing. so goodbye playboy! 






 so there you go, peeps. the six kinda guys i've dated thus far.

it's not hard to wonder why
i'm bloody happy being single right now, eh?
i'm not sexist btw. no, really. i'm not. 

am pretty damn sure you girls have dated these men too. ;p

and the guys, well... 
you probably know what label u are gonna get!

oh geez! that was unexpected!

 it's just one of those lil things in life 
where you just don't expect any thing to happen. 
 i guess mommy and daddy taught me well.
*beams proudly*

so here goes....

a HUGE thank you! 

 
to those who contributed to the 2000+ hits
for the last 3 and a half months. 
you guys made me shed tears of unexpected joy!
i never expected so much attention with this blog :) 

it was only in mid November when i decided to go public with my blog.
it used to be a place just for me to rant and update my close friends
but now that i've got a Blackberry, i can whatsapp/bbm them anytime. :) 
for those readers who visit often, you guys are rawkstars! first timers, welcome!
stalkers... thank you! couldn't do it without you! <3

Vday Special : Homo & Bi-Sexuals UNITE!

 i would prefer to live in a world 
where it's filled with unconditional love.

heck! wouldn't everyone?

I believe that everyone should be free to be themselves.
 To be straight, homosexual, or bi-sexual.

oh! for those who forgot what those big words mean...
Homosexual:  attraction to persons of the same sex
eg : girl like girl / guy like guy
Bi-sexual :  romantic attraction to both males and females.
eg: guy like the other guy and a gurl / gurl like this gurl and a guy


think about it! 
if Ellen deGeneres was scared of 
what others thought of her homosexuality, 
Portia de Rossi would also be suffering depression right now.

the very happily married, Portia (in white) and Ellen!
i'm not a lesbian,
but... i think i wouldn't mind being one
 if i really met the right girl with mutual feelings.
wouldn't you?


okay, maybe the guys aren't convinced 
cuz i was talking about the happy lesbians. 


FYI, the guy in the middle is holding mites (kutu)

 and if gays were accepted in our society,  
there would be less bullying in school!
Children would finally be alot less mean to others,
to finally learn how to accept others for the way they truly are.
The alpha men would stop alienating the poor gays at the workplace...
and they wouldn't need to find a selected pub like Q-bar in town
to have fun in or get lucky.

David Furnish and Elton John! <3


ah well, and if you're really lucky. 
being bi-sexual might mean you get two partners instead of one.
us, straight people will have to make do with just one ;p

but let's not be greedy eh?

another thing is... i'm not promoting cross dressing or being a he-woman!
and definitely, not encouraging unsafe sex!


Well? 
How was your V-day celebration with your loved ones?
This year, i spent it with close friends.
Something different but definitely, so worth it.

i got a pink rose, a sweet poem, and chocolates! :)


 for the UNLUCKY people ...

here's an interesting article :

HELL is that way, smart-arse.

 have you heard the news yet?
simply unbelievable!

- I'M FAMOUS -

i have my own publicist, haters
and O-M-G! my own friggin fan base on facebook!

do the super-diva-in-shock-face right now

i feel so blessed that i've been given a free publicist.
so many other talented individuals out there can only dream to be like me now.
there are so many things i never knew of myself ! 

here are the
Top 3 Fabulous Stories 
of MYSELF that my friends and i never knew of!
O,O 
  1. i have an underage boyfriend
like seriously?!
i have a boyfriend that is younger than myself ?
omg! i never knew i liked younger males!
hahah! i must have been drunk or was challenged to go for silly little dreamers.
and the best part, i was the one to ask the guy for a relationship?
w-o-w, that's new!
:D



2.  i'm a gangster

i must have accidentally registered
with the gangsters of Sabah,
and i didn't know i was accepted!

*gasps*

thank you thank you.
it's such an honor to be in one of the most exclusive circles
of influential people in Sabah!


but what are my duties in gangsterism?
hmmm.....
to dress up the mobster? bargain hunting for their wives?


3.  i am an obese, stupid, poor little girl.

oh dear~!
really?!
i must apologize if i offend you with my womanly curves,
it's something God gave me
and i'm going to treat it with respect and love. 
;p


 An obese person is defined as "Extremely fat; grossly overweight."
 if i'm obese, you won't be able to see my waist,
i should have no neck or double chin, puffy cheeks,
flabby arms, thick wrists, saggy boobs,
grubby fingers, wrinkly butt, jiggly thighs...


you be the judge!
i present to you...
the picture diary of 
The 'Obese' Charlotte!
and also i included my 'efforts' to lose weight.
:) enjoy



2008 -  the fattest year! pregnant wit hot pink balloon! 
2009 - started the wax and smoke diet!
2010 - praying and clubbing to lose weight!
2011 - present day 'obese' me without make-up.

and as for calling me 'stupid' and 'poor',
i'll just let them continue thinking that way, shan't i? :)

i'm so bored of the constant praises
of being such a responsible, capable, smart young lady,
attending graduation/award ceremonies, charity function/dinners, 
and often being hounded by school authorities for financial contributions.

so, this is an interesting change for a while.
haha!
 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


i'm guessing they don't know
that spreading untrue stories about another person 
is equivalent to slander, gossip, backstabbing, lying, defamation,
maliciousness and the worst of all, 
 it's a sin  >:)
especially if they gossip in church


I believe no one on earth is perfect, so i will understand if they didn't know what they did was bad. Cuz i am a strong believer that age is never an excuse to stop learning life-long values. That would mean, no matter how old or young you are, it's not too late to correct your wrongs! 


for example,
"When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself." 
- Wayne Dyer , Psychotherapist

"If you have nothing good to say about someone, say nothing at all" 
 - Alice Roosevelt Longworth


God bless <3
