Who am I?

Suddenly got inspired my a show to do a self introduction. Sorta..feels kinda random and its gonna sound melodramatic..but fun all the same :)

I'm Shannon, and I turned 15 this August 14th.I'm a Christian -- Methodist, more specifically. I'm in Secondary three in Singapore. I'm pretty much the average Singaporean living in an Average HDB flat. But I'm happy with that. I love animals and nature, especially dogs, cats and hamsters and penguins..hmm. I have an EXTREME obsession with miniatures and scale models, especially of food or kitchenware. I make miniatures and own a teeny business called mad miniatures.  That leads me to my next point. I am an aspiring chef. Thats a big dream for someone in Singapore. I also want to have my own band one day, just as a hobby. But I think I already have too many hobbies. My co-curricular activity is robotics. I used to be in Gymnastics but thats another story. I spent quite a lot of time alone but I don't feel that lonely. I usually settle my own lunch and sometimes dinner. Though I usually don't eat lunch on weekdays...
I used to do very well in school (academic wise but its getting harder these days)
I would admit I think alot about a lot of things and sometimes say really stupid things. But doesn't everybody at some point of time? I'm not a very good speaker. So I often say wrong things, people sometimes find it hard to understand me :P Its really so much easier to type.

One of my greatest personal values is that no one should be left out, stereotyped or discriminated. I can't tell if I'm saying that if I feel that I'm left out sometimes. This brings me back to gymnastics. I got into gymnastics by chance and by impulse in secondary one. It was hard and after one year I decided that the best thing to do is to join another CCA. By God's grace, I got to be part of a warm and awesome CCA -- robotics. Its strange how our extreme differences in personality and background does not set us apart. I'm still learning although I've been in the CCA for more than a year. I would see myself as a junior though I am now one of the seniors in the CCA.
Then again, infocomm leads me back to the value to stereotype. I won't say I completely do not stereotype but I'm working on it. Infocomm has never been seen as a prestigeous CCA or a respectable one in school. Although I think it is. When I first joined, many people not in infocomm said some things that are not exactly very flattering towards infocomm and the people in there. But I'm proud to say I AM AN INFOCOMM ROBOTICS MEMBER AND I THINK WERE AWESOME.

That aside, I'll go back to the part about the band. I play the guitar and the electone. I'm currently learning how to operated the sound system to serve the Lord more. I want to learn to play the keyboards and the drums one day but as I've said, I want to do too many things. I secretly want to perform on stage with a guitar one day but I didn't tell anyone that. until this post. I still kinda doubt my voice but I think I'm at least a safe distance away from being tone deaf :)


Then, back to the part about being a Christian. I just got to know the Lord two years back. The church camp I attended back in P2 wasn't enough to let me really know him. I'm not baptised yet but I'm planning to do so next year.
I can remember that one time in service, the pastor asked us, If we were stripped of our identity (If I deleted 3/4 of this post) Who are we?


Who am I? That the Lord of all the earth, would care to know my name, care to feel my hurt?
