RAMBLINGS: The beginning comes from an end.

I decided to replace 'Sunbathing Muffins' on Blogger with a personal blog. Blogger 'Sunbathing Muffins' was created because I was experiencing login problems on Onsugar and wanted a backup. But now that the problems have been resolved and I'm getting kind of jaded with my own personal blog, I decide to make a mishmash out of the 2.

'Sunbathing Muffins' will have beauty-related stuff only. As for 'Love, Charlene Judith', it's going to be all about me. Completely self-indulgent, self-wallowing... Everything me. And those beauty entries uploaded to 'Sunbathing Muffins'. It's probably going to be a lot about school, seeing that my whole life revolves around it now, many epiphanies that are quickly forgotten... The usual.

The CNY break was a revelation in many ways. Fingers crossed that when morning comes, I wake up with the revelation etched deep in my mind, as fresh as ever.

One 'major' decision that I have made is to tighten the rope round my neck and do the Final Year Project (FYP), instead of Internship (They are mutually exclusive. FYP is essential to be awarded first-class honours.). My GPA is a few points shy of being in the first-class honours range at the moment. I was adamant about doing Internship because I really did not think that my GPA would see any increment in the remaining semesters. Also, I really want to get the hell out of university (I really do not care much for my degree. At all.).

But the professor in-charge seems to think that I am capable of pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Professor Adams' reply was the deciding factor, I guess. He wrote a very detailed and encouraging email. So I'm going to pack away my toys and work my ass off for the remaining semesters (Starting from tomorrow. Ha.).

Because if I'm going to do FYP, I sure as hell make certain that the first-class honours is mine.

'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' is highly additive. Don't read it before bed because then, you won't get sleep.

"One more chapter. Just one more!"

UPDATES: I light firecrackers.

Hey Muffins (:

Before it officially rolls in, I just want to say

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR, SWEETS!

I don't know about you, but Chinese New Year always seems so insanely warm to me. Maybe it's the new clothes. Haha. But I do hope you have an awesome time with your family and friends (and have a good break too)!

If you follow my tweets, I'm actually on a makeup ban, all the way till October. I know, it's insane of me to agree to such a ban. But umm... I broke it yesterday. So it should be 'I WAS on a makeup ban.'. I got myself the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary 24/7 Eyeliner Set (Of course it had to be an Urban Decay product!)! *jumps around*

Anyway, I lasted a month where the ban was concerned so that should count for something, no? Heh.

Skincare wise, I started using the Clarisonic Mia last Friday and I have been 'masking' a lot too. I HAVE to tell you guys to go get the My Beauty Diary's Bird's Nest masks! They are supremely moisturizing and they brighten up my face real good (I say 'real good' because I haven't exactly been sleeping well but I look as if I have.). A more detailed review will be coming up soon!

I have also created a Formspring account so you can go type in the questions that you have been dying to ask me! Haha! I'm just kidding. (:

And if you're into films, go check out my sister's blog! She writes film (and book) reviews and she does fashion posts as well (She's a lot more daring than me in the fashion department!).

This has been a really wordy entry! Reviews will be coming up next!

Lots of love to my 74 Onsugar readers! :D

LOOKBOOK: Rain and boots go jolly well together!

I woke up yesterday to an incredibly wet morning. While most people would want to lie in bed all day, I was insanely excited to get up and prepare for school because I could wear my boots!!!

(Okay, I know boots don't equate to rain. But it's rather 'attention-seeking' in school. Otherwise, I will be in boots the entire of my life!)

F21's lace tank top
F21's plaid shirt
Topshop's black jeans
Americaya's boots

TADAHHH!!! The boots in all of their awesome glory!!! XD
