PHYSICS SPA was pretty cool, however, I just have to make a fool of myself and once again. All due to my over confidence problem, sort of. I had to go against what is written in the question paper and do what I, confidently, thought it should be.

Gosh, hell sad about it. Mdm Yaw ask me how was the Physics SPA this afternoon. Just happened to see her while walking down the spiral staircase you see. So I poured my unhappiness that I just did the most stupid mistake ever. She was nice, exceptionally, she just said, "It is over, Clarence, don't think about it anymore."

I can't help but feel the motherly love that was in between the lines of words. She apparently changed quite her opinion on me this year. Have yet to accuse me for being overly confident. I guess I did her justice by being an exceptional good boy, listening attentively in class while seating at the front. However, I wonder does my results for the test did the same. I am rather worried when she said many people did not do well for it. Only a handful students passed I think. Darn worried. However other than that, she has been quite nice to me. She sort of have hopes on me getting distinction. I have exactly the same target, however greedier, I want an A1.

Had wanted to go down to the Clementi Sports Hall to view the basketball competition. Jordan wanted to go at first, but after a game of basketball to some bunch of asses in school, we were all to exhausted and sweaty to go. However, we got news in no time that they lost to Swiss Cottage by 1 point. They wouldn't be able to proceed onto the next level I believe. Sad indeed. HJ claims that the referee gave the ball to Swiss Cottage on one occasion even though it was stolen from Terence (Sec 3) and went out of the court. If it is true, then they lost with a grievance.

Bus-ed with Jordan, Jun Jia, Jin Shun and etc to Westmall for something to eat. After much confusion we had Subway. I did my homework while they eat, which was rather crap for me. I never liked to stay around and watch people eat. Luckily, I had homework to do which allowed me to pour my mind into, instead of the food their were eating. I just feel it is very bad to be around them while they eat, very awkward. Jordan spared me half a cookie, Jun Jia let me have some of his leftover sandwich and drink. So on the whole, I got a meal without paying a cent. Gosh, don't I sound pathetic.

So yea, below is an article from NewScientist.com

Enjoy!

Ja-na!~

How will the solar system end?

WE live in uninteresting times. Since the ructions that created the planets in the solar system's first 100 million years (see "How was the solar system built?") - and apart from an early migration of the giant planets and the odd colliding comet not swept safely aside by Jupiter - nothing much has really been happening. The planets circle like clockwork, the sun burns steadily, and even delicate life has survived on at least one world.

It cannot last. Something unpleasant is bound to shatter this comfortable calm.

Our sun will die, of course, about six billion years from now. But things could get ugly long before that. The steady gyrations of the solar system today may conceal the seeds of chaos. Even the tiniest of irregularities can build up over time, gradually altering the paths of the planets. Between now and final sundown, it has been calculated, there is a roughly 2 per cent chance of catastrophe. Mars might drift too close to Jupiter and be thrown out of the solar system. If we're very unlucky, hot-headed Mercury could run wild and smash into Earth.

Meanwhile, the sun will slowly get brighter. Within 2 billion years, its heat will probably kill off life on Earth's surface. Mars, on the other hand - if it is still there - should gain a cosier climate. Even if it is dead today, it could one day come to life.

But again, not forever. When the sun's core burns up the last of its hydrogen fuel, the whole structure of the star will radically rearrange. It will slowly bloat to more than a million times its present volume, becoming a red giant. That giant will swallow Mercury and Venus and, according to the latest simulations, probably Earth too.

Baked by the sky-filling sun, and stained redder than ever, Mars will now definitively be dead. The icy moons of Saturn and Jupiter might in turn become hospitable. Saturn's giant moon Titan is particularly promising, as it already holds a rich soup of organic molecules. The red giant's heat could leave once-icy Titan with a global bath of water and ammonia where those organic molecules could form life.

Any creatures that bob to the surface of these outer moons would look up at a rather different sky. By that time, the Milky Way will probably have collided with our neighbouring galaxy Andromeda to form a unified "Milkomeda", where violent bursts of star formation - the nurseries of a new generation of solar systems - will light up the heavens for a time.

Any late flowering of life in our solar system, if it happens at all, will not last long. After its brief escapade as a red giant, the sun's inner furnace will finally fail, and it will cast off its outer layers and shrink into a tiny white dwarf. The briefly balmy Titan will freeze over once more. Its host planet Saturn, together with the other denizens of the outer solar system, will orbit on for tens of billions of years more, until treachery from within or marauders from without do for them, too. Jupiter or Saturn could eject their lighter comrades, Uranus and Neptune, or passing stars could strip away any planet, even massive Jupiter.

The future is never certain, though, and alternative endings can be written. There is a slim chance that the whole solar system, sun and all, might be thrown out of Milkomeda intact. Out in the emptiness of intergalactic space, the planets would be safe from marauders. There they could continue to circle our darkening star until their energy is eventually sapped and they spiral inwards. One by one as they hit the black-dwarf sun, a few final flares will rage against the dying of the light.
