Oh, it's just another fangirl.
I'm Charmaine and I live in sunny Singapore (means that I'm located near the equator, where it's summer, summer, and when I wake up the next day, it's still summer). I don't usually expect presents on 7 April, but if you're feeling unusually happy you can give me one on that day. (:
I'm currently crazy over... CardCaptor Sakura (2003-2005)
Fay D. Flourite (Jun 2006)
Oguri Shun (Jul-Dec 2007)
Fay D. Flourite (Feb-Apr 2008)
Twilight Series + Edward Cullen (May-Aug 2008)
Arashi + Sakurai Sho (Sep 2008 -Present)

Dedicated to Judy

This post is dedicated to JUDY! (:
Here are my replies to your replies to my questions:
1. Thanks! I shall dedicate this post to you too.
Hmm. It's about time Yu E got herself a blog. So that she can dedicate posts to us too. Haha. (but on the other hand even if we force her into it I bet in the end she won't update it unless she's forced to) She's just not into computers. *sigh*
2. Linked (: I considered linking you as Jules, but that alias is too obvious. I couldn't link you as Eleanor (derived from your email), because I have a junior named Eleanor. 'The Insomniatic One' or 'Randomly Inspired' is just too long and the name itself would attract attention and I get the feeling that you're not looking for attention so I didn't put that. If you want me to change the name feel free to suggest (:
3 & 4. Actually I owe Li Ching a blogskin. I'm dying to make one for you too. But with all the tests going on, this is definitely the wrong time to start creating skins. If I remember correctly, my last Common Test for the year falls on Week 7. Hopefully Week 7 to 10 will be test-free and I can finally do a skin or two. (:
5. I know there's not much of a storyline for book one. That's because Stephenie Meyer didn't even plan on publishing the book! She didn't plan to even write a full book. All she did was pen down a beautiful dream that she had. And her imagination got out of hand (Twilighters like us are so glad she couldn't control her imagination) and tada! - Twilight is born!
For the subsequent books, she did do actual planning so I recommend you continue reading New Moon and Eclipse. The final book, Breaking Dawn, is coming out next Sunday! I CAN'T WAIT! xD
6. Woah. Did the VJ dentist make you get braces or something?
Notes to Self:
The things I need/want to do once the tests are over: (not listed in any particular order)
1. Complete N.E.mation! III entries.
2. Watch 'Spirited Away' with my team. (:
3. Go ice-skating, duh!
4. Complete Finale Notepad tutorials for Sop 1.
5. Design blogskins for Li Ching and Judy.
6. Along with Elaine, teach Jia Xuan how to blog.
7. Start working on the birthday presents that I owe people. ^^;
I'm starting to feel guilty for not studying in the previous hour.
See you in a few weeks, people (:
Ice-skating!
Sunday, July 13, 2008, 9:14 AM
I've never tried ice-skating before.
Yesterday was the first time and I had the best time ever :D
XU CHANG CAME BACK!
I thought she'd be good at ice-skating.
But we were all wrong.
She didn't ice-skate during winter in China!
She totally wasted the natural ice there.
Then she come to hot hot Singapore then ice skate on "artificial" ice.
Haha (:
Xu Chang, winter must practice ice-skating, then next time come back can compete with Huiling!
I'll miss you but the thing that keeps the sad feelings away is knowing that you'll be back. So remember to practice ice-skating so when a guy asks you out for ice-skating, you can show-off to him! Haha :D
When I first started out on the ice I went: "I am not skating anymore. Get me off the ice! Help!" Obviously, instead of getting me off the ice, my friends taught me how to ice-skate. At first, I couldn't stop clinging to the railing. There was one part, I had one hand on the railing and one hand gripping Jia Xuan's. Then I let go of Jia Xuan's hand. She was happy initially, until she realised that I released her hand so that I can grip the railing with both hands. MWAHAHA:D
But after some time, when I got to a certain part of the ice-skating rink, there was one part with no railing. I was like O____O. So in the end, we formed a human chain, with noob skaters (me, Xu Chang) in between the good skaters (Huiling, Fangwei, Maryam, Jia Xuan, Xueni). Actually Fangwei and Maryam were first-time skaters too but they picked it up so fast! So hand in hand, our human chain made it across the "treacherous" part of the ice-skating rink.
After some time, everyone got the hang of it but Huiling remained best skater. She then told me about Li Ching's ice-skating. She said that the 2nd time Li Ching when ice-skating with her, Li Ching could already skate faster than Huiling! Can't wait to see them compete with each other (:
Now, I'm suffering from muscle aches.
There's PE tomorrow.
I'm gonna die.
The muscle aches haven't fully come out yet.
It'll come out tomorrow, or later on today.
My legs are gonna die.
LOL.
Sorry no pictures because I don't have time to draw today.
Got tuition later.
See you people!

Express Yourself Day
Monday, July 7, 2008, 7:01 PM
EXPRESS YOURSELF DAY was AWESOME, wasn't it, people?
I should have brought a camera!
But I didn't. I kinda forgot, like usual.
So I drew the following after I got home last Friday, in a weak attempt to remember some of it. By the time I got to the 3rd drawing, almost all my memories of that day's events were gone. :P That's how bad my memory is.
"Do you smell nail polish?"
"Yeah I smell it too!"
"Where is it coming from?"
Ahem. The infamous "catwalk". (if you can't recognize the person, look at his hair.)
The female teachers! (I know it's not a very accurate interpretation, but I'd already forgotten the details.)
I wanted to post these up on Friday but I just couldn't get a chance to. Tuition, you see, ruins a weekend, as usual.
