This is just a post to say I have finally found the time and drive to blog something. Also, it's because I kinda promised someone I will post something on my absolutely untouched blog of three months (Since April. I know, how did time fly by just like that?) once I get myself a role someplace. More about that later. :)
First things first, my absence was mainly because of university. Yeah I know that's a very lame reason. You see journalist students still finding the time to blog anytime, anywhere. I gotta give them the double thumbs up, the round of applause, the pat on the back; you name it, they shall have it from me. I guess time is their friend. As for me, I'm not sure if time is one of my mine. It's very rare of me to be able to either sleep early or wake up late. OK, let me give you an explanation on why I used "sleep early" instead of "sleep late" and "wake up late" instead of "wake up early". I have a terribly busy schedule, no kidding. My daily schedule is filled with neat rows of blanks (sarcasm detected: I don't plan, I usually go with the flow) . It gets so busy to the extent that I have to push back some activities to the next day because I have to juggle with so many tasks at hand (This is true. Some of you know, I update my Instagram on a daily basis. It's no easy social media to upkeep because I'm pretty much a perfectionist. I source for the best of pictures, edit them to look pretty and come up with captions. All of these take up so much of my time. Depending on how important the F1 news is, I would sometimes post about it and share with my followers on Instagram). My sleeping time is so messed up, usually sleeping only at 0400 and waking up at 0900 for uni. If I'm lucky enough, I get to wake up at 1100. With so little hours of sleep, I'm absolutely grateful I haven't been sick for more than a year. Maybe my body is numbed from all the laptop and mobile phone radiation and I'll only get the serious illnesses in a few years' time. God only knows what might happen. I do however wish nothing unfortunate will befall on me. I'm still young and I have yet to see the whole world. Jokes aside, I have been awfully busy last semester. There were lots of assessments I had to work hard for week after week. What's more, I had my very first test (actually there were more than one but who cares now that they're over) in university. I could hardly find enough rest. If I had blogged two times on every race weekend last semester, I am so sure I would have a taurine addiction by now. Hey now, I am not saying I don't enjoy blogging anymore. It's just that my assignments are preventing from blogging. My assignments are draining my creative juices out of me as they require me to write 2000-word essays out of each. By the time I may have found the time to blog, my fingers and brain would be too exhausted to think and type. Hence, the three month absence.
Secondly ever since I got back to Singapore for the winter break (Yes, Australia is having winter now), I have been chilling, catching up with my good pals, spending time with family and also travelling places. I am literally making full use of this break to rest my brain (from thinking, at all) because I feel my brain has been overworked last semester. It has been fried and it needs to cool down before another new (even more hectic) semester.
Here's the last reason to explain why I am blogging after three months (I know I've said this so many times but you've gotta bear with me because I do feel so guilty for not making this blog of mine more active). Two weeks ago, I went to a Singapore university to attend a module and take a test. Two days ago, I received an email telling me that I have passed the test and all I have to do is log into the portal to look at my role and sector allocation. I am very happy to say that I am going to be a race official for the 2015 Singapore GP, specifically a flag marshal!!! :D It's my absolute dream to be able to get this opportunity. Really really thankful. :) Training will be on 25 OR 26/7/15 which is about two weeks away. I'm really excited to live this experience of a lifetime. I wanna thank my friends (you know who you are) who supported me in this. Thanks for having so much faith and helping me during the process. ^~^ I would also like to thank Singapore GP for giving me the opportunity, that even though I'm living in Brisbane most of the time now since I'm studying there, they still gave me a chance to attend the make-up session. THANK YOU! I am so blessed to be able to get the job on my first try.
I honestly can't guarantee where will my blog go from here. I'm thinking of making my F1 blog more news topic based, meaning I blog whenever anything F1 related piques my interest. I'm afraid I won't be able to commit so much time into blogging every race weekend now that I have assignments, projects and tests/exams to take care of next semester in addition to my weekly badminton practices and a week off from uni to volunteer my time during the Singapore GP weekend. Next semester is going to be even more demanding and stressful. I just hope I won't go mad. Till then, I shall be blogging fairly soon. If there's nothing on between now and my flag marshal training at the end of July, just don't give up on me and my blog. I'll make sure my posts won't disappoint. :)
