[Career]
I have a very irregular career. I spend my days blogging, acting, making videos, modelling (for ads), making public appearances for events, playing video games, having meetings and going for auditions, all of that as part of my work.
I create, perform and entertain people mostly in new media (as opposed to traditional media), so I guess you could call me a New Media Artiste.
I operate on a freelance basis and am available for job offers or commercial collaborations.
Please e-mail me at 
to find out more or to discuss how we can help each other.
==================================================
[Random Facts]
- I’m been obsessed over computer and video games since I was five years old.
- I love milk.
- I have a healthy appetite for unhealthy food.
- I love curling up in bed with a good book and a packet of potato chips.
- I hate people who hog MRT doors with a vengeance.
- I get annoyed by slow-walking people who don’t walk in a straight line, making it impossible to overtake them without collison.
- I’m not a very good actress but I work very hard to give my best in every performance.
- But I’m a good writer.
- I like people with a clever sense of humour. People who get satire, irreverence, sarcasm and irony.
- I laugh over the littlest things. I’m very easily amused.
- I believe in silver linings in dark clouds.
- I’m bi-polar.
- I want to be a drumming goddess some day. It’ll probably take a while because I’m too busy to practise and I don’t own a drum kit.
- My hair is not rebonded.
- I hate cockroaches but love lizards.

[About Sheylara.com]
2003: Sheylara.com was born a website for my virtual fashion business in Star Wars Galaxies (an MMORPG). I gave fashion advice and made virtual clothes for gamers.
2004: I quit playing SWG and turned Sheylara.com into a personal website to support my acting and modelling career. There was a blog section in the site although I didn’t use a blogging script.
2005: Sheylara.com became a full-fledged blog when I installed WordPress because manual archiving was killing me.
==================================================
[About My Blog]
My blog is about me and my lifestyle, although I try not to be ditzy about it. I write in an anecdotal, sometimes humorous, style because I feel it provides an easy-reading experience.
My purpose is to entertain. Sometimes I’m not very entertaining, but I try.
Entertaining writing is a science.
Thank you for reading Sheylara.com. Please come back again!

Cuz,
I just read your email through the Sim cousins email circle and want to show my support. Way to go, you’ve got something good going, and I’m so proud of you for pursuing your dreams, your way!
BTW, do you remember we used to co-write silly little stories with “choose your own ending” endings? I wonder if you ever kept any of our drafts? It’ll be great to read them together today, decades later.
Keep up your writing, cuz, ‘cos you’ve made fans of us!
Love,

[...] the blog awards for Most Entertaining Post! I’ll be presenting this award with Sheylara aka Qiaoyun. I’m going to feel so dwarfed standing next to her, because she’s got such long legs. [...]

Sorry just can’t help it, dude think you will be cobblered by goonfather even before u have the chance to say that in person…
Nevertheless it’s a worthy effort (but seriously I dun think you even know QY as who she is, least talk about painting a lifelong canvas together)….

Hello I stumbled onto you web site and read some of these letters. I am very interested in learning about acting classes and where it may take you. recently I am on a visionquest to identify my career choice.
Really never understood the good times and opportunities I was givin. But now that things are a bit more difficult, I am kind of circling the wagons as they say in cowboy country and trying to find a career that challeges me and opens my mind. I”m writing Sheylara in hopes of in a way connecting with a new beginning. Hope to hear from you.
Sincerely Marius

Hey, Sheylara! You’re a gamer… do you play Grand Theft Auto. I’ve never asked you this before. BioShock? Halo? It’d be interesting if you can do a sexy pose while playing GTA.
Anyway, my main purpose writing this is because I really need a skit/fan fic writer for my blog. I need a good writer and a (hardcore) gamer that plays GTA. You really fit the bill. Do give me a reply, capiche?

Good to know you’re somewhat balanced unlike other PS3-insulting-Xbox-fan-idiots who thinks that every game from PlayStation 3 must belong to their system, even Metal Gear Solid 4!
Keep it up!

I sorta found this place by accident, was lookin at some vids for Fable II at youtube, seen those 5 that you posted, than checked the rest of your works. Nice blog, I normally consider blogs to be brain killing almost as badly as commercials and some MTV programms but this one is an exeption, Ill prolly stick around to reading it whenever I got time [being in US military I got plenty of that >>], keep up the good work… or more like good fun ;] .
DeV
@Ralph: Yeah, you tell ‘em, bro! hehe:)
Hmm… Shen Qiaoyun is your real name right? and sheylara is your name in cyber world… than what is your nick name in the real world? especially a name that usually being called by your friend out there…

A select few people are confused and refuse to call me by any of my names, preferring to call me Girl or Babe or Hey.

Initially I doesn’t know who is Sheylara was. I vividly remember that I even post a silly to question by asking her who’s Sheylara. Embarassing enough, when I found out that who she is, I was like… “Oh my god! She’s one of the famous bloggers from S’pore….”
So, I know who “you” are now :)
Ugh, wish my life approximated to even a fraction of how fun yours seems to be. Going the standard route through university seems like trying to eat an old shoe compared to this XD.
I assume you play(ed) AoC on their American servers. Wish it was possible for me to keep playing but that’s not going to happen where I am *sad panda*
Keep it up ^^ you’re entertaining a lot of people it seems.
Hi Sheylara.. I have just started reading your blog on stomp/starblog this week and also this website today. Should say I’m really enticed to your writing and great pictures selection. You’re photogenic and looks great on pictures and I can sense you do have a very fulfilling life so far in all your entertainment work?
Managed to know you a bit more through your starblog as well as this website, and wanna wish you all the best in what you’re pursuing! =) Shall visit your starblog and website again soon! Take care!
Thanks, Lester, for your kind words! Appreciate your visits! :)
Thanks everyone else for your nice comments. I don’t normally reply here because I’d just end up saying thank you ad infinitum, so here’s just a thank you once and for all. ;)
Hey, Shey, you are beautiful and write really well. Here introduced by your father, I’ll be a frequent visitor here…

Hello out there, I’ve just playing with this computer andwas able to get some information about yourself. I used to be a sole Computer Specialist/Teacher/Mentor mentor to the former American Armies over the country of Saudi Arabia. I’ve met a very undesirable vehicular accident, that’s why I’m here in our country Philippines. I do have some many stories to let you know more about me, I can even create by myself a poem, whom I was published on an American book with awards.
Bye, if you want to let you know more about myself JUST E-MAIL ME BACK
Bye
