SpaceX 130th launches up to 16 Oct 2025

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. 

World Athletics Championship Japan 2025 Tactical Race

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.

Human only know what they want to know

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!

Empty Shop unit at Lentor MRT station for more than 2 years

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 leading but others not following July 2025

 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!

SpaceX Starship flight 9 results

SpaceX completed flight 9, with a reused booster and many considered a partial success. The booster successfully reached stage separation and a successful boost back but did complete the soft landing at sea. The Starship reached suborbital but also disassembled upon re-entry.

SpaceX 57th launches 13 May 2025

 SpaceX has completed 57 launches as of 13 May 2025, on the way to another record breaking year! All the way SpaceX, you are on the way to Mars soon !

Human Self Inflicted Suffering

Human behaviour are closely tied to their behaviour, but they have limited ability to change their behaviour. Why? Because they are born with bad inert leaning ability, easily influenced by the devils in themselves. They need to be guided to move in the right direction, such as not hurting others, not to be greedy etc. Until one day, when they learn to live at peace with each other, they need to recognise that all of them need the same basic needs and there are enough to go around if they are not greedy! The world need to behave in a way that they do not hurt each other, especially the so called leaders. Those at the top are the ones with agenda, that lead the crowd to suffer for no logical reasons. The lack of trust among human, lead to all negotiations failing and the suffering continues!

Keeping Time

 Keeping Time is closely linked to everything that exists in our world, not sure about those outside our little world.  It gives perspective to our current state of existence, it helps to keep things that happened in the past and future, by giving it a place with a timeline.  The second adds up, 60 seconds in 1 minute, 3600 seconds in 1 hour, 86400 seconds in 1 day, 31,536,000 in 1 year. Keeping time is important to all that exists in our world!

8 billion for 3 Frigates??

8 billion is a lot of money to spend on 3 advanced warships, this money probably can buy 12 or 14 capable ships in less than 10 years!  A naval program that takes 15-20 years to complete is not meaningful anymore, the advancement during made during this period in modern era would make the ships obsolete! Decision makers are not thinking right, things become obsolete in a much faster pace than anyone can imagined. 

Breaking My Marathon PB 4Hr47Min26Sec in 2025

My marathon PB was run at a pace of 6min48.72sec, back in Dec 2014. It’s not fast at all, but I having a hard time trying to better it in the last 10 years! Why? What is the reason?  Because I am not discipline enough to do all the necessary long run during the 3 months before the actual marathon run. I need to hit the 4 times 32km run just before the race and also the weekly half marathon or 22 to 23 km run 2 months before the 4 times 32 Km runs.  The training is to prepare the body to be accustomed to running long distances   at a certain pace, so that you can replicate the same effort during the actual marathon run.

RXN JMMS ship announcement when ?

The RXN JMMS ship has been talked about for maybe the last 10 or more years, but there is still no official announcement yet till today 11 Jan 2025.  A lot of people are curious about the details of the ship, how much bigger will the new ship than the current ones in service? Will it have a through deck for aircraft? Of course it would be better to have a through deck like an aircraft carrier, but hopefully something different from the conventional design where you have a tower in the middle side of the ship!  Hopefully it would be like at the rear end of the ship where you can see the whole deck operation! Anything bigger than 200 metre would be a thumbs up, it make little sense and a waste of material and effort to build a smaller ship! The country itself is so small and without any hinterland to say at all, it make sense to have a movable platform to at least keep some hardware away from any possible enemies! Hopefully at least 3 ships are built to a larger scale to have a ...
