Once upon a time, an unborn baby girl petitioned to be born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But the deities invoked their wry sense of humour and put a handheld game in her hand, instead. Thus was Sheylara born a poor gamer.

Sheylara loves playing all kinds of games on all platforms. Her guiding philosophy in life is: "Too many games, too little time to play." She also suffers a permanent identity crisis. Sometimes, she's the popular blogger Sheylara. Other times, she's actress Shen Qiaoyun. And in Xbox LIVE, she has too many Gamertags. What a troubled child.

"Gaming keeps my reflexes and alertness in top form," he says, "It gets more fun as you get better…!"
