Ever since Gillian took a rest, Charlene has to appear in events alone. Last night, Charlene appeared to receives awards and sung 'Lonely Swallow". When she sung the line "And now only I am left, making me fly even stronger", her eyes looked watery and on the verge of crying.

2007 IFPI Hong Kong Top Sales Music Award Presentation Ceremony was held on March 19, 2008. Softhard, Joey Yung , Zhang Jingxuan and many artists attended. Eason and Hacken didn’t arrive since they were aboard. Charlene appeared with the accompaniment of a bunch of EEG crew members. Although Gillian didn’t attended the award, but many fans shouted for her name when twins was awarded the Hong Kong's Top 10 Highest Selling Artists and Top 10 Highest Selling Cantonese Albums. Charlene said, “ I will continue my journey bravely” while receiving the awards.

After receiving the award, Charlene sung 'Lonely Swallow' However Gillian was not at her side so when she sang "And now only I am left, making me fly even stronger", her eyes became watery. Later on, Charlene explain that, “The line expressed my feelings recently, and I got emotional. I have to face so much alone, but I really don't want fans and the people who care about me to worry. Which is why I will strongly face everything. At that time, I saw Mani in the audience, and she gave me two thumbs up, and I felt a little better. When I sang that part, I felt like shouting out loud.” Charlene wishes that everything can go back to the past and she can attend events with Gillian. “It seems happier with the both of us.”

The reporter then question about Isabella’s situation, Charlene said that she didn't read those news reports so she won't respond to it. She expressed that she has many things she has to worry about therefore she has no time for Isabella’s issue. Charlene mention that she has a very good relationship with EEG. She also expressed that she understands that every artists has their own way of thinking and that the company has to look after the market so at times there may be disputes and disagreements. But work is work and an artiste can't think of their own happiness only but others too. Charlene believe that it is very important to remember where you come from; She said, “ This is a Chinese traditions, she is my friend and I want her to find her happiness; I hope the best for her if she found it.”

Mani accepted an interview yesterday and revealed that she was so stressed over Charlene attending the event alone. She talked to Charlene after that and Charlene said that after witnessing the support and applause that the record company had given her, she was so touched.
