The Infinite World

Every human has certain fixed set of behaviour that is built-in from birth, such as seeing, breathing, eating, moving and learning. Other than the basic see, breath and eat, we need to learn the rest of the acquired part of human characteristics. A baby is basically neither good or bad in nature as they do not know anything, they are like a blank sheet of paper or a empty hard disk.  What they become as they grow, is all learn from what they see, hear and read, and learn to decipher all these inputs into their brain. Human beings need to learn how to educate the child from the time of birth, but this is a difficult thing to do,  but only for the more educated adults. The normal adult will not know much about how to teach and in still the correct set of social and intellectual behaviour for a child. I think the basic thing to remember is to not behave in a bad way in the presence of very young children, as they cannot tell what is right or wrong and they initially learn by observat

I think the only way for human to get better at Space exploration is to practise more. We need to get our launch technology right and reliable and build space craft that have some endurance and track them accordingly. We need to launch more space craft and practise docking with each other, with more common standard and make them more manoeuvrable. Travelling to the moon should be a everyday affair and of course the moon base should be built as soon as possible. Like someone who said before, we need to get as many people into space and stay indefinite period of time, in order for human to survive as a technologically advanced race. First, I think we need to learn to behave like a logical adult and more co-operation effort to get our space exploration going. Less war and more money will be available for such explorations. Be less self centred and greedy as well, but this will require a great deal of discipline from the typical human beings.  

I am wondering how many Singapore citizens are above 100 years old as of today, 25 August 2015 ? But, data will definitely not be accurate, as back in 1915, official record keeping did not exist! Human always had and still has problem keeping our data accurate !

Did a short run of 3.2km or 8 laps of 400m at the stadium in the evening, clocked 15min 19.349sec. Initial plan was to try to maintain 2min per lap for as many laps as possible, but gave up the attempt after 8 laps. Not in the right state of mind to do a focus run, will try another day.

Today, I was on another mission to complete a 2 hours run again. I started slow as usual, and completed the 1st km in 6:39, but I started late at about 6:40pm so that the weather is cooler. As the run carry on, my pace increases to about just below 6 minutes per km. The late start did make the run a lot easier, you get into rhythm without having to have the heat slowing you down. Although it's cooler, the temperature of about 30 degree Celsius still caused the body temperature to go up as you run faster. I just hang on to a sub 6 minutes pace till the last portion of the run. My pace drop to 6:20 plus for a uphill portion and eventually slow further to 6:40 plus towards the end. Completed the 19.53 km run in 2hours 21seconds, without any water intake. 

Went out for a early evening run at 5.10pm, the weather was very hot and I could feel my body temperature raising rapidly. Started very slow at just below 7 min per km pace, and slowly settled down to a 6:10 to 6:20 min per km pace. Tried my best to stay at a consistent pace of around 6:15 per km, as my aim was to run for 2 hours. Although the weather was really hot, I found that by running at a consistent pace, I used up my energy more efficiently and did not feel tired so quickly. I ran without water intake throughout the whole duration of the run. A good run today as I finished the run feeling strong although I could feel my body temperature getting a little too high. Finished the 19.28 km in 2 hours 6 seconds, averaging 6min14sec per km pace.

The recent leaked documents seems to imply wide spread doping in athletics at world class level. The question everyone will be asking now, " So who is not doping ? ". It is bad for athletics, anyone who run fast will be suspected of doping at the coming World Championship in Beijing. Maybe in the future, all athletes should be made to eat natural food and plain drinking water, or eat food and drink stuff available in the public rather than special diet which they prepare on their own, which might contain special ingredients. This is the problem of science coming into the athletes' training and diet.
