The Infinite World

At 3.42am, 7 Dec 2025 Sunday, I took a grab ride to Suntec city to join the SCSM 2025 marathon. I arrived just in time to deposit my bag at the F1 pit, entered my start pen E at 4.31am. As usual, the elite runners started at the front at 4.20am. It looks to me like a huge crowd and spirit was high and weather was good, cooling in the early morning. Pen E managed to start the race at 4.50am.  The start was the usual route towards the beach road golden mile area then towards the merdeka bridge towards national stadium. I just run along my usual slow run with the pack, tried my best to snaked my way when those in front are really slow. It got to a point where I was trying to run faster and faster when the body feels good. But, I always tell myself that it’s going to be a long way and never allowed myself to go below 6.30 pace. I reached the 10 km mark around the OUE Bayfront, it was around 1hour 5 min plus. It was not too bad as I was struggling to hit such time during my training run...

SpaceX has successfully launched 130 times up to 16 Oct 2025, excluding Starship test flights. It looks like another record breaking year for SpaceX, they are leading the world by a huge margin. 

Tactical race proved to be a killer for the world top long distance runners, as in the men’s 10000m race. The Kenyan and Ethiopian did not win medals, they ran too conservatively and did not have enough speed at the deciding last bit of the race. They need to stretch the not so fast athletes earlier, maybe with 2 laps to go, to make them tired out earlier, so that they are not in the right shape to sprint the last 100metres. A lesson for the runners from the 2 distance running powerhouse, try not to compete with speed at the end, run faster on average in the earlier part to tired out the not so elite runners. I believed the same apply for the 3000m steeplechase race, but it’s a much shorter race, so need to fine tune their strategies.

One day living homo sapien suddenly realised that whatever that is outside Earth are all fake!  Somebody just painted the universe on a piece of paper, maybe it’s real to the end of plato only!  There are tonnes of material written about distant worlds, but ironically human has never even explored anywhere else except the moon. How human convinced themselves what the other said is real is puzzling at most. A lot of unknown facts but they are winning prizes!

There are only 2 apparently empty units in at the Lentor TEL mrt station, 1 was a Cheers store that opened for like 3 months and then shut down till now28 July 2025. The Cheers store was shut for more than 2 years, but the Store signboard is till there.  It’s either the mismanagement of retail space by the whoever own the store or the owner of the store do not need the profit from the rental at all. The station was built by the government and who operate the store, the answer is obvious.  There is not a single convenient store within a 500m radius of this store, so there’s definitely money to be made. It’s either the rental is so high that no business is willing to take the risk to setup store or no one care to make the shop lot useful to serve the residents living nearby.  Why so spent so much to build but leave it empty for years??

 SpaceX has completed 90 launches up to 23 July 2025, they have out done all countries including their own!! But, the rest of the world is not catching up, they would open up the winning distance by a lot more by year end! Not to worry, human are typically slow, as they have too much personal goal to achieve that is much more important to them! Human is able to put up pay load to space at a greater speed than ever before, thanks to the incredible speed that SpaceX can turnover!  Human has all the time in the world, as the aliens are not coming to a planet that inhabitants kept trying to kill each other over and over again!
