The Infinite World

I am wondering has any country tried construction activities like building a spacecraft in space before ? The ISS is more like Lego rather than real construction. Human will need to master such feats before we can venture further into space. Building a huge spaceship and lunching it from earth will be a huge task with our current level of technology. We need to start learning how to build more complicated stuff in space and maybe produce material in space as well. Our current spaceship is like child play when compared to those in science friction movies. We have a lot of work to do before we even reach the level whereby we can travel to the moon and back regularly. If we can get to the moon regularly, then perhaps we can build a moon base and use it as a staging station for further exploration and also to test the robustness of our spaceships. This will need a combined efforts from the various nations to get some significance progress in a short time. 

SG Citizens, before you throw anything on the ground, before you leave the table after your meal at the food centre, try to clean up, or when you take a bus, do not put your feet up on the seat opposite you. If every individual do their part on keeping the environment clean, SG will be a really clean country and not a cleaned country. Teach your children the same principle as well, let them grow up with a good grounding on keeping the environment clean. Most people in SG just do not care once they get out of their house. You should not litter and keep the surrounding environment clean. I am quite sure majority of the people do not litter at home and will clean up after they eat at home. Do the same when you are out in the public as well. Everything about SG is first class in most peoples' eyes, especially foreigners. But we local know the fact that it's only the physical environment, we still have a long way in terms of developing the individual. 

Reached the stadium at 5:58am this morning, initial plan was to start running at 5:30am and run for 2 hours. Anyway, started to run and it was cooling in the early morning. The problem is that I always mis-judge the pace when I run when the sky is dark, my first lap was 2min40sec, way too slow. It took me a while to slowly warm up, in fact, the first 4 laps(400m each) were all completed over 2min30sec each. It was just difficult to run fast early in the morning, ran the 5th to 8th lap all around 2min29sec per lap. Ran the 9th lap in 2min28sec and the 10th lap in 2min25sec. My plan to run 50 laps of 2min24sec each vanished. The next 10laps was completed between 2min20sec to 2min27sec. I wanted to run in an environment where I can ignore if there was any rough uneven ground that I might trip over or looking out for vehicular traffics or concern of hard surface which might cause injury. This is why I choose to run in a stadium sometimes. The next 10 laps were ran a little faster as the s

Just completed a 3km run at the stadium, 7.5 laps of 400m each. Clocked a time of 13min56.132sec. I have no actual plan in mind before the run as it was already quite late when I reached the stadium at 7.30 am. The 1st lap was completed in 1min57.270sec, followed by 1min55.189sec, 1min55.205, 1min53.907, 1min52.846, 1min51.649, 1min45.000sec and the last 200m in 45.066sec. Almost every lap was ran a little faster than previous lap except the 3rd lap which was slower than the 2nd lap. My personal best for the 3000m is 13min1.5sec achieved more than 20 years ago,  I will need more training to run a faster time.

I registered for the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 6 Dec 2015, Sunday. Last year, I clocked a personal best of 4 hours 47 minutes 26 seconds for the 42.195km. This year I am setting a target of 4 hours 30 minutes, which will translate to a average time of 6 minutes 23.93 seconds per km covered. Its not a fast time but it will take some consistent training starting now, the main aim will be to make sure the body can take the constant pounding over the 4 and a half hours.

I managed to run 51min4.109sec for the 10km or 25 laps run at the stadium on 10 July 2015, Friday. It's almost a minute faster than what I did on 8 July 2015, but I believe I can still go faster. Just need to learn to push my body a little more with each run, the mind is in fact much stronger than the body.

I ran another 10km or 25 laps of 400m each, at the stadium on 8 July 2015, Wednesday morning. I did managed to reach the stadium a little earlier and started the run at 7:06 am but as usual without much of any warm up exercises. I managed to average 2min5.83sec for the first 24laps and ran 1min41sec for the last lap for a final time of 52min1.866sec. It was about 14 seconds faster than my last 10km run on 3 July 2015 Friday. I considered this a good run as I had been away for 4 days on a short holiday and had not run during this short period of time. I actually find that my body can take the beating and I could have done at least maybe 51min30sec, but during the run my mind keep thinking its a difficult task. This constant thinking probably held me back from running a faster time.

Started my run at the stadium at 7.09am Singapore Time. Initially my plan was to run close to 2min per 400m lap and try to achieve a new PB for 10km or 25laps(pb 50min21sec). Usually, I do not do any stretching or warm up, except the short run from my house to the stadium, about 400 m or so. So today, as usual I found the early laps were difficult, extremely slow moving, averaging about 2min6sec per lap. Unfortunately, it did not get any easier or faster with lap, I kept averaging about 2min7sec lap. Around 7.40am, the sun was up and the temperature started rising, I just kept the laps going. I only start to speed up at the 23rd lap, 2min3sec, 24th lap 1min59sec and last lap 1min39sec. The final timing 52min15sec. Well, with every run, I learnt something, I am comfortable going around 2min7sec for 20 laps. So maybe next run, I can start 15min earlier and do better warm up and try to average 2min5sec for the first 20laps and try again for the PB.
