Thanks for more pics of Charlene at the Bossini. So nice to see her laughing and smiling so much
ZunSa - Haha I posted that pic already but thanks - yup, those ads are super cute
Omg I love that behind-the-scenes making of the Bossini ad! haha It even showed a piece of paper that said "Sa's clothes" and had snapshots. I always love videos of her photoshoots! She looks amazing and the clothes are so cute. Ahh that little boy is too adorable!!
--
Here's a few news articles from today. Apparently, Charlene's salary from ad campaigns have gone up so she wants to buy another house (?) which has to be big because she's living with her mom and five dogs. or to rent out? Not sure
So Charlene already went to the Yahoo! Awards Presentation Ceremony I mentioned earlier!
Not really sure what the event is for, but her summer dress is so cute! She looks so young, sweet and fresh-faced Really nice to see the 3 of them posing together!
Yesterday Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) appeared as the "Happy Angel" for a clothing brand catwalk show event. Not only did she teach the kids how to pose on the catwalk but also taught the foreign CEO Cantonese phrases. As to Gillian Chung using botox shots to make her legs thinner, Ah Sa said she had no intentions to do this herself. "Currently I don't have the urge to do this and don't think it's necessary". (Does that mean Gillian needs to have it done?) "She is a spokesperson and has always wanted to improve the shape of her legs. I did ask her whether it was it was painful but most important is that she is happy".
During the event, the host asked her which 3 things made her most happy this year? She said "The first thing is going to Denmark to shoot an advertisement. The second is using my own name to release an album". As for the third, she stated that it was meeting her idol Clive Owen at the Shanghai Film Festival earlier. "When I saw him I couldn't believe my eyes. When we took photos together I felt very happy. My heart never felt my heart beat so fast!". The reporter asked if her heart will beat just as fast when she is with rumored boyfriend Ronald Cheng? She smiled and didn't answer the question.

Thanks for the news! I like the way Charlene responded about the Botox issue and I'm glad she's not going to use it. Both because she doesn't need it and for the danger/unsafe/unhealthy reasons.
But omg, is Joey saying she's going to use it too?
Hidden Text:
On her chest? I don't really understand this article. GAH. Do people not understand that it's not medically proven to be safe to be used on areas other than your face/neck? The high doses of toxicity, the possibility of spreading the botulin toxin to other areas of your body, paralyzing muscles, nerve damage ... I'm glad Charlene isn't going to do it. But now, people are definitely going to follow
lol Reporters really try to dig up stuff with Ronald and Charlene. What do they expect Charlene to say? Last time I checked, if Charlene said that she "never felt (her) heart beat so fast" ... their question is answered - no. : And they totally tried to misconstrued that smile as a yes when it's most likely Charlene's annoyed smile. Like Charlene said, almost every time she gets annoyed, they don't even realize it :

Charlene has another Bossini event on June 28! Translation, anyone?

蔡卓妍@Bossini x SmileyWorld開心販賣機 (2009.06.28) 日期: 28/6/2009 活動: 蔡卓妍試玩全球首部Bossini x SmileyWorld開心販賣機 藝人: 蔡卓妍 。 時間: 15:10 地點: 銅鑼灣東角道26號地下13-16號舖及1樓13-15號舖Bossini
She talks about meeting Clive Owen again And the reporters ask her about Gillian's musical and she says that her and Gillian's musicals are at different times so they hope to be able to go to each other's musicals to support each other. Charlene also talks about Gillian getting Botox. She says that Gillian didn't tell her to go, but like she said in the articles, she doesn't have the urge/necessity to get Botox.

I agree! The Bossini pictures are really cute! I love the green and the happiness from Ah Sa. I might photoshop them later, if I have time. XD I like Ah Sa's summer dress too. She looks so young and pretty. Her hair looks so ruffled and cute too.

I'm happy that Charlene don't have the desire for botox because I'm VERY against the idea, no matter how much the media would say crap, it don't give a 'green' light to inject toxin into all parts of your body. Charlene have amazing legs and I hope she keeps it natural. Sometime I really can't believe how some artists would go to the extreme just to look beautiful. Anyways, on a happier note I seriously LOVE Charlene's outfit at the Bossini event. I like the happy theme, I feel I need to purchase some of the clothing. Charlene is really the perfect spokeperson for the ad, she was smiling the entire time.
--According to the news at the Yahoo event. Charlene said that her salary for ads has increase therefore she wantes to purchase a house because at the moment she is living with her mom and 5 dogs so she needs more space. She also mention that she have a desire to buy other house so she can rent it out. Charlene is so cute how she said that she is very jealous of the actors in the '70s because they owns so many nice location housing.
-Anyways, I wanted to talk abit about Charlene trip to Singapore. According to the reporters, when Edison was brought up into the scene Charlene wanted to answer but the manager interrupted the scene. I always feel that Charlene never gets to speak her mind when it comes to Edison. I notice that when everyone in EEG was bashing Edison, Charlene is always very neutral in her answer. I remember that during the promotion of <Simply Actor>, they asked Charlene about Edison and she said said something & Mani interrupted her telling her to stop. The same thing happen in Singapore, I don't think EEG/Mani is scare that Charlene might say something wrong, it more like Charlene might say something opposite of everyone in EEG. Ever since the incident, everyone in EEG has been pushing the blame on Edison, in which is unfair, I esp. dislike how Mani has handle the situation. I really do want to hear Charlene speak her mind about Edison, I mean she & edison was never in a bad term therefore I don't get why she have to avoid him just because of Gillian.

Jun 25 2009 8 42 PM
Becca - I agree 100% with what you said about using Botox Really glad to hear that Charlene's salary for ads is increasing! About Mani interrupting Charlene when she wanted to respond about Edison, I don't know why I didn't think of that ( Mani's getting to my head). But I definitely think that's the reason why Mani always cuts Charlene off - because Charlene doesn't despise, condone and dissaprove of Edison like Mani wants her to. Charlene doesn't have a personal vendetta against Edison, nor do I see a reason for her to have one. It's unfair to Charlene, but maybe one time when Mani isn't there, she'll finally say what's on her mind If not, by not allowing what she really feels to be said, that's enough for us to understand what she wants to say.

More pics from the Yahoo! Awards. All 3 of them look so good!

Razor TV has a 4-part special about Charlene. It's in English, but Charlene's interview parts are in Mando.
^One thing I noticed in this interview is that Charlene mentioned that she hopes - and she clarifies that this is just her personal wish - that in 2011 when it's 10 years since the beginning of Twins, they can both come out together to have a celebration with fans. The way she says it sounds like before 2011, Twins won't re-group and they'll only come out together for their 10-year anniversary? That's just the way I interpretted it.
They also ask: Any further career plans after the success of your solo album? But Charlene doesn't give a definite answer. She just talks about how she's really happy about the album's success and right now, she's just looking forward to her vacation sometime
^They ask Charlene: How likely will there be Little Dimples Part 2? Charlene says that she also really likes Little Dimples. She arrived pretty early to Singapore for the Heroic Rendezvous event so she went to sing karaoke and Singapore people really like Little Dimples - she sang it so many times. Since Singapore is JJ's own region, she hopes that she can sing Little Dimples with JJ in Singapore
They ask Charlene: Have you kept in contact with JJ? She says that they havent been able to keep in touch that much. JJ previously invited Charlene to be his guest in his Beijing concert, but she was just too busy to go so she was dissapointed.
They flat out say that JJ always gushes about Charlene, so if he decided to woo her, would she consider? haha That question was a surprise for me because I thought it was pretty clear that JJ and Charlene are just friends and there are no rumors between them. Charlene's face was so shocked, too! Charlene said that she's never thought about that. They're just friends and she finds him adorable - every time she sees him smile, she sees his dimples and he wants to squeeze his cheeks
They also flat out ask Charlene: Are you dropping the young/cute image for a more mature image? Haha Charlene looked soo surprised She said she never tried to go down that "yu nu" path. She's still young now, but it's been so long since she first entered the industry, so of course she's changed a lot. It's just her own personal maturity.
Q: How do you want to further challenge yourself in your acting career? Charlene said that she hopes she can try different roles/characters. In her previous films, she's filmed different roles, but they've all been around the same idea/feeling.
Q: Would you dare to strip on screen? Charlene's expression was so funny. She said that she doesn't want to/won't. She doesn't think anyone wants to see that
^Q: Would you want to design your own T-shirts? Charlene says that she really wants to. Before, she has talked to EEG about it but there's the problem of time. Next year, if Heroic Rendezvous wants her to design, she would.
Q: How about having your own brand of apparel? Charlene says that having her own brand has always been one of her dreams for a long time. She has before - in Shanghai she opened a store with her own clothing designs. But in the end, it stopped because she realized that things she liked were too expensive so no one wanted to buy it
Q: How do you dress when you're not working? She wears clothing like t-shirt, jeans, and high heel shoes. When they ask her if her feet wil hurt, she says that she's used to it and besides, she's not that tall so she likes feeling taller in heels. The highest heels she's worn are 6-inch platform heels (it was the white ones at Twins' concerts).
^The fans are so sweet in this clip (: I think the media is playing up Charlene being "lonely" without Gillian, though. Yes she's more comfortable with having Gillian by her side and Gillian is one of her best friends. But Charlene has plenty of other friends/co-workers she's always hung out with that she still does when she goes to functions, etc. Twins have always had functions, movies, ads that they've done separately before. It's just an extended break, but they still keep in touch and everything.

I don\'t think EEG/Mani is scare that Charlene might say something wrong, it more like Charlene might say something opposite of everyone in EEG.
GOSH GIRL! YOU SPEAK MY MIND! (: that line that i\'ve bolded, it\'s exactly the reason why i feel charlene keeps getting cut off! mani never cuts off the others when they talk bad about edison, however, charlene never talks bad about him from what i\'ve seen so far, and she seems to be the only one who thinks neutrally about it. i really want to see/hear about how she really feels... but not an EEG/TVB interview since those can be pretty scripted for the sake of EEG\'s image. :ugh i think that\'s exactly what mani is worried about, since mani and charlene talks directly about these stuff, thus mani knows how charlene feels about it, and is worried what charlene say in support of edison would go against EEG\'s orders.

hahas, i love singapore interviews, straightforward to the point, yet not rumour-crazy. like, there\'s a limit there, yet you get the gist of things.
i\'m quite surprised that charlene is covered that much though! cause it usually covers english artistes a lot more than hk\'s.
actually, even though we all know this, i think it\'s really evident that jj & charlene are just friends, not even close friends actually. this interview with the part about them actually not contacting that often is pretty much proof of the \'just friends\' part. cause realise that for charlene\'s close friends, they keep in a lot of contact on whereabouts and stuff. (:
THANK YOU mutts for the translations! (: (: (: hahas, you\'re always so awesomely helpful with interview translations! (: and they\'re all WAYY GOOD translations.

haha, Appearently William and Charlene's advertisement won a Yahoo award. lol and Charlene said William is one of her want to work with partner too. Because they both have the same sign. And they can keep secret and everytime working together there are a lot of funny things. When ask what if they have rumors, Charlene said ..I don't think so... he is so RED? lol

Jun 26 2009 7 22 AM
gracie - It's too bad, but I dont think we'll ever hear her true thoughts about the situation considering she's Gillian's friend, the way Gillian and Mani don't hesitate to make it clear that they have a personal vendetta and animosity towards him. So if Charlene doesn't agree feel the same way, people will just make her out as a bad friend, etc. and it'd be so controversial.
Aw thanks for the compliment about the interviews! I'm glad my translations are okay

livi - Thanks soo much for that clip! I had no clue that they won that Yahoo! Brand Award for their Coca Cola ad. Ah, William and Charlene are just so cute and always so happy when they're around each other, even laughing so much when they're posing I had no clue they were actually THAT close! Charlene said that William is one of the people she goes to to talk, discuss, etc. And William said that it's because he's honest enough but Charlene said it's because they're the same sign. They can share secrets and whenever they work together, they can talk about a lot of things. Omg they're just too adorable and giddy! I don't think they'll have rumors, though - I really just see them as really good friends.
About the end of the clip, though. I think Charlene meant that he's "red" as in popular? Not sure haha What did William say at the end?
Anyhow, got more Bossini pics! Soo cute - I would never guess that she's 26 And I love how she's imitating the faces on her shirts
^Ah, the matching shirts, the little boy's expression, his lollipop - way too cute!

i COMPLETELY agree with you about the good friendship between william and charlene! (: (: (: although i love their onscreen chemistry, and i love william (i liked him ever since the friendship MV of twins! gosh, he totally captured me! was a bit sad when sun boy'z came out and he turned out to be the one that most people didn't like out of the 3? everyone loves steven cause, well, he's steven! he's the orginal boy'z guy. while everyone thought dennis was major cute. i still favoured william, lol! ), he always reminds me of this bad boy appeal yet really mischievous feel! (: however, no matter how hot i think he is, i really don't see possibilities of him and charlene as more than just friends in real life. (: plus i love their friendship! (: it's one of those friendships like leo-charlene, steven-charlene and jj-charlene that i love, the kind of just-friends and loving it! (: (: (:

haha I remember William from that Twins MV, too! It was soo long ago. But I actually thought most people liked William when Sun Boy'z grouped because he's good-looking, he can dance, and he's cool. I thought most people didn't like Dennis as much because ya, he's cute. But he's not that good in singing or dancing and he doesn't have that charm. But of course there was still a huge chunk of Steven fans - I still feel so bad for him. He can dance, he can sing, he's funny and cute. But I just don't see him as a solo act.
It's so sweet to see that Charlene has so many close friends in the industry. I definitely would like to see Charlene and William work together in a few more small projects - William's can sing and dance, he's got the looks and charm and he's got that star feel to him.
(Ah, anyone know what he said at the end of the clip when he gets embarrassed? The clip is too cute!)
^There's a longer Charlene-William clip in it too! It's so cute at 2:05 when she leans her head towards his shoulder to pose and then giggles After the clip we've seen in the previous clip where Charlene says that she and William talk a lot, share each others secrets, etc. William says well, after you said that, won't people come to me asking for your secrets? And Charlene spun it around to say that they'll come to me to ask for your secrets
Charlene talks about wanting to buy a house, ever since last year. All her real estate she has are rented out to people. It's really hard for her to find the right place now and everything is too expensive.
Hidden Text:
The reporters ask Joey what she thinks of using Botox (a la Gillian). Joey says that personally, when it comes to her own body, she enjoys using her own hardwork (ie. exercise) to become skinny/to the result she personally wants. Given her busy schedule and the exercise she usually gets, she feels that she's gotten the results she wants. She'll save Botox for later. - Guess I misread that previous article!
--
Here's another clip of Charlene at the last Bossini event:
^I think it shows the first time reporters ask her about her 3 happiest moments this year. She hesitates to tell them the 3rd one (meeting Clive Owen) and gets all embarrassed before telling them lol And the reporters don't even know who he is! And Charlene tries to tell them he's the one in "Closer" (with Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman) and he's really goodlooking. She actually saw him the night before the festival when she went out, but she didn't believe that it was him. The 2nd day, she realized it really was him and took a picture with him
^haha Charlene said that when he went up to him, he really was way too goodlooking, she started stuttering and didn't dare look at him too long She also mentions that she's practicing for the musical and how the practices usually go up till really late at night.
livi - Oh, sorry for posting it right before you! I know, right? It's totally got me thinking about 6-7 years from now when Charlene decides to have her own kids She looks so young now, even though she's 26, it's almost hard to imagine!

Yeah, I so agree. The pics of Ah Sa with the smiley tops are so cute. They have really chosen the right & best spokesperson. You know how Ah Sa sometimes puts her hair in ponytail and her fringe is back? Well, it seems this hairstyle is really in, lately. I've seen pictures of Tavia's hair like that and Fala too. But her hair looks nice now. The pics at the Yahoo event ... she looks so shy when Stephen was going to take a picture of her and put it on his blog. (: Is the picture uploaded yet on his blog? I want to see. ^^

Jun 26 2009 9 15 PM
Oh I had no clue that style's really popular lately. I like that slightly "messy" look - not overdone, kind of relaxed like you didn't put too much effort into it, but you actually did? Kind of laid back. And her fringe/bangs aren't regular side-swept bangs, they're really funky with a lot of volume!
haha Her is hair is always so confusing, though. Because at the Yahoo! Emotive Brand awards, from videos and side-shots, it looks like she took out her extensions and they just gathered the rest in the back. But that's what it looked like at the Shanghai Film Festival also, but she still has the extensions in for the Bossini event. :
Hm, I tried to look for Stephen's blog but I can't find it?
Here's Charlene schedule. I'm still confused about her visiting Sichuan with Leo ... haha the news saying she'd visit Sichuan with Leo for 10 days in June makes no sense at all!

A pic of Charlene from JSG Round 1 in Colour Magazine, talking about her outfit
There are a bunch of articles about artists talking about Michael Jackson's death, but they're all really long so I won't copy and paste. Basically what Charlene had to say was that she was so shocked when she heard that Michael Jackson died, she couldn't believe it! She thinks it's so sad and such a pity that he died so suddenly. She has so many fond memories of watching videos of him perform on stage and in her eyes, he was truly the best male dancer and singer in the world. He contributed so much to the music world and inspired so many people, reaching a status that is unattainable by others. But he left behind a legacy - his music is immortal and everyone will remember him on stage.
It's a fan cam so hopefully there'll be an even better quality video out. Charlene sounded great! Her previous performance singing Little Dimples solo was a little shaky, but the more she sings the full song, the better she gets. This is definitely her best performance so far of Little Dimples solo! Love the last note she hits

Charlene and the fans were required to dress up their dolls(: Charlene and her orange-coloured hair doll.
Very focused and concentrated!
She was asked to pick a winner out of 8 people, so she had to judge them. notice her doll, she kept carrying it around walking here and there with it on the stage! too cute.
^Ah, computer problems are the worst Hope it all gets fixed soon! Thanks so much for the pics! haha Charlene is so cute with the dolls and helping the fans. Hope you had a great time
I've got a bunch of pics of Charlene at the He Bei Concert! She looks so good!
^Thanks so much for the ads! I still see Charlene's EPSiDO ads in magazines, but I didn't expect new ones to be aired. Looks like they filmed it before, but it's still a new ad. Love the concept and message - planting 1000 trees in hopes of having a greener HK

EdisonlovesCharlene, Mutts and babystarr, I think you guys have hit the nail on the head. EEG and Mani in particular must be TERRIFIED Charlene will say something sensible about Edison, so they interrupt and gag her at every turn. Gasp, shock, horror! It's not like she's going to say he didn't make a mistake, everyone knows that, but she clearly doesn't think he's the devil incarnate either. She's got a good head on her shoulders and isn't rushing to condemn like everyone else does. Plus, she knew the guy very well at a point in time, that has to count for something at least.
Moving on, I love her short jean shorts, it's cute and sexy all at the same time! I really like her personal style, she knows what suits her (especially those long, long legs!). And I agree with her on the passing of MJ. Such a SHOCK and the world has lost an irreplaceable entertainer. He was the best. RIP MJ!

Gracie- I'm not good with computers, but the computer guy said its the power supply, or battery that's faulty so i can on the comp sometimes and i cant sometimes. its irritating, lol. but just as well since i can focus on my studies for the time being, the big A's are coming =(

nearing 300 only. but the pictures are pretty repetitive lol. i was actually quite disappointed with the turn out, from the photos it looks alot but many people who were just happened to be shopping around that area. oh well, you know singaporeans they just like to join in for fun.
the green tee ppl belongs to TAS, twins alliance singapore. their turnout is pretty lil' too, i expected more from them. *shrugs* you know, i was there for another heroic rendezvous store opening last year, the one at suntec. and that was totally by chance that i happened to be there. hee. i hope she comes more oftennn.

wow, i never knew that there was a twins fan base in singapore. actually, i don't know much about singapore stuff, lol, not even a fan of any singaporean actress/actor nor watch much dramas here. i'm more of america/taiwan/hk drama type of person, lol! (: (: (:
aww, pity there wasn't that much fans that turn up, typically, from what i know of my friends, fans in singapore who like charlene basically like her in movies etc, very seldom are there really enthu fans in singapore who would go all the way to a public place and dress up in fan-tees to show support. but i totally understand when you say that most people in singapore would stop and stay to watch, very typical behavior, even i do it a lot too (like the time with alan luo at marina square, and daniel wu + jackie chan at PS!)!

aww, my jc isn't good, it's serangoon junior college. basically, i had no intention to go into jc, played my o levels off. happened to get 13 points so decided to try jc (you know, faster route to finishing school. lol!), chose sr cause i like the people there.
LOL, my j1 midyear grades were horrible too! this year would be better (j1 is like, a really MAJOR slack year. results are usually bad because of all the relax life. j2's end year is crazy!), the results would just keep improving by a little, then comes a levels and you'll score awesome!

yeah mostly people see her in movies only because hardly any cantonese albums are even hot here. i dont rmb twins coming down for any album promotion? i've only been to the TE2 promotion, the "journey to the west" movie with Nic promotion, 2 stores opening and one where twins came down 4 years ago for our NDP celebrations. Chinese songs are our mainstream, i guess. and hollywood lol.
the enthu fans you're talking about only happens with the taiwan stars, bleahhh. not that i dont like them, but i'd like it if the fan base is bigger.

i got 13points too! but that was very saddening for me, i just threw my result slip on the flr after looking at it and then ran home to cry for one whole day and was pretty upset the next few days. lol.
oh i have snrs at srjc! that makes you one yr my snr? since you're waiting for uni to start. i'm at ajc, was here for pae but jae couldnt make it so i had to appeal thru cca.
j2 aint any better, my midyrs start this comig monday and i haven even started on my 2 arts subject, zzzz.

livi - haha Ya, Charlene's outfit also reminded me of her EEG Spring Dinner outfit earlier this year.
zumzum - I definitely agree with you about Charlene-Edison-Mani, but maybe one year down the road, years after this whole scandal has blown over, Charlene will be given the chance to say what was on her mind.
qiant - Wow, you had 300 photos? Love your personal, first-hand-seen comments from the event. Charlene is always so cute when it comes to playing those games!

Hm, can you replace your battery? Computer problems are such a pain but hopefully yours gets fixed soon! And good luck on your big A's (those are exams, right? ^^'')

Beats Magazine No. 37
I really like this whole news article! Not only because it's in English But it's really honest, detailed and Charlene talks about everything since being discovered - all the good and bad.
The part where Charlene talks about the difference between what an actress likes and what the market craves, that was really interesting. It's a shame that that's how it works, but it's so true! Everything nowadays is about marketing and appealing to the public. But I'm sure there's a limit to what Charlene will and won't do. Like she may not necessarily like a movie, but if she understands a certain appeal to it and she'll still dedicate herself to that role and enjoy it!
I also like how she spoke about the incident - really genuine and you can tell she's upset about it, but she's able to pull some positive out of it. I really liked her answer to "So Twins will reunited for sure?" She's always so well-spoken and mature It's great that Charlene recognizes her roots - she's always so grounded - and doesn't take for granted the level of success Twins got. Even though it's all about business, her friendship and bond with Gillian really plays a business, their friendship plays a part in it all.
About the issue of papparazzi, I always find it so hypocritical when celebrities get angry or irritated at papparazzi taking their photos. But Charlene's got it right - you should be flattered and it's something you have to accept and knew you were getting into when you want to become a celebrity.
I had no clue in her spare time she stays at home and watches TV! I approve of that - relaxing and entertaining Plus, she can catch up on all the series dramas she watches. I didn't know Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind is her favorite film - I loved it too!
More pics of Charlene in Nanjing. She sang Starlight Amusement Park, Little Sister, Two Missing One, Next Station Tin Hau, and Little Dimples - so many songs! Really like her outfit

Still got more pics to post!

yeah! i realise that there isn't much canto albums/songs that singapore radio plays nor singaporeans like. (: i guess cause mandarin is our base language. however, on a brighter note, i love how charlene's Two Missing One mandarin version did become quite a hit. (: oh yeah, and Little Dimples, that became quite a high radio play. (: i remember walking to a shoe store and just browzing, and suddenly hearing Two Missing One and the people at the store (not just the owners, but even the shoppers) actually know the song. the 2 store owner girls were singing it to themselves, while one of the shoppers were humming to it. another girl next to me asked her friend what song was it cause it was really nice, and her friend replied "Ah Sa's new album!" i was just totally caught offguard cause i never thought anyone else would actually know. Little Dimples was an obvious hit of course, it's on so many people's ringtones.

omg, really? i think 13 points is really awesome, i wasn't overjoyed when recieving it only because i had fully intended to go into poly under communications, and the less-than-20 points made the choice of jc pop up to my parents, which means that i have to choose between a course that i like and a college with a future. gosh. i hate making decisions.
hahas, seniors at sr? i have a cousin in AJ and my primary school bestfriend (still is, just that now we're just good friends who meet up about twice a month, together with the whole primary school clique. hahas) used to be in it, both are in choir i think. i'm not sure about my cousin though. but for sure, both really enjoyed AJ and their time there. (:
all the best for MYES! (:

OMG. i loveeeee that magazine article!
finally, we get a bit of insight on her side of the scandal, like how it happened and how she found out about it. i never knew that she actually recieved PICTURES of it on her phone! it must have really shocked her that way!
i like the part about her thoughts on how they had started out, what happened and all. like, i had NO IDEA that they had to pay for their own acting/singing classes! and that she didn't want to do Twins, at first. ooh, and diandra would be really happy to know that charlene likes bjork. (: (also, seems like we've got to do some editing in the next part, most of the stuff aren't inside like the cranberries and bjork. it's like, i don't think i've heard charlene mention these until now.) charlene is so humble and she really acknowledges how twins made her where she is.
oh yeah, and charlene mentioning that their mandarin were disgusting, lol! she probably said that in canto/mandarin, but i can totally picture it. hahas! (: and her views on movies! i seriously LOVE how straightforward and honest this interview is!
mutts.
Jun 28 2009 7 21 AM
Ya, hearing that she got the pics sent to her phone ... :S Meh. But you have to see it to believe it? Haha I laughed at Charlene saying her Mandarin was disgusting, too She's just way too honest!
More pics!

^Ah, that is one lucky fan who held hands with Charlene and sang Little Dimples with her!

yeah my friends love Two missing one! one day one of my friends just came up to me and told me he likes this charlene song and i was pretty excited about it. then all my friends in my clique started liking that song too! i used to go to charlene functions alone (how sad, i know =(( ) but this time 2other friends came with me and another one rushed down after father's day lunch but he only reached at 4 so he missed her, what a bummer. and the less-than-20 points made the choice of jc pop up to my parents, which means that i have to choose between a course that i like and a college with a future. gosh. i hate making decisions.

oh is your cousin still here? AJ's choir is world class haha, no joke. they went italy last year for the River del something competition with many international choir and emerged the overall champ lol.

Hidden Text:
wow, omggg. i know that she loves her CCA to bits and that they travelled overseas, but never knew that they had won the internation comp! but i think i know which competition is that, cause sr choir went overseas around that period of time too, didn't win anything probably though, lol! (cause in sr, it's only guy's soccer, girl's touch rugby, dance, rocmoc and shooting that's good -- like top 5 or top 3 jcs. every other CCA does really badly in terms of school standing, lol. )
aww, but heys, it's okay! i think you made the right decision, jc is afterall a faster route to a local uni, and if you can get into a tourism course in nus/ntu, i'm sure it'll be worth it. (: plus the friends. i think jc life is quite awesome, cause i really enjoyed it with the friends there, it was havoc. (but then again, it's sr, we do more playing than actual studying. lol! definitely NOT recommending that behavior unless you're good at last-minute scoring. most of my friends didn't do well enough for unis, i think i just got lucky. lol!)
wow, your friends actually go with you? so lucky! (: my friends do like the song, but they like the tune since most of them don't understand the lyrics (chinese -- we're all just happy to finish ever studying for it after j1.)
i think the first song my friends like was NC's duet, they introduced that song to me actually since i didn't hear much twins' songs.

Charlene Choi helps Ah Gil become happier by chatting with her
Charlene Choi has been appointed to be Bossini's ambassador, to play with vending machines happily and passed out paper fans to the public. She expressed that she needs to spread the happiness: "More happy things, then naturally theres happiness. That's why I'm always shooting comedy series! (Does your boyfriend make you happy?) I'm always happy because I don't have high expectations, I'm get happy easily."
Last year good sister Ah Gil was emotionally down, asked if Ah Sa had taught her ways to become happier? She said: "I will chat with her. (Ah Gil then becomes happier?) Yes! Most important is you are able to help yourself."
