The members of the kingdom Fungi was once placed under the kingdom Plantae. They seemed plant-like enough, after all... They grew out of the ground/on surfaces in plant-style. They didn't move like animals. Some of them even looked pretty, like flowers! Biologists of the time made reasonable conclusions... it wasn't until the development of the microscope when the physiology of these organisms could be studied in detail, allowing scientists to see the differences between fungi and plants.
Pretty, ain't it?
Fungi are amazing, really. Their spores have the ability to lie dormant in a place for years and years, waiting for the perfect conditions to start growing. Once the dank, damp conditions arrive... POOF! Pretty fungal bits are everywhere. Not only that, some of them are really nutritious. My mom used to love cooking those flat, wrinkly black fungi for us (can't remember what they're called).
By the way, I recently found a collection of cups containing Milo which have been abandoned for 2 weeks. Pretty!

"It's marvellous what Milo can do for you!"
This, Sam, is what you get for insisting someone to blog when he doesn't have anything good to write about, especially when he has a music exam the following day. *smile*
No hard feelings, k? I'll chia you a glass of Milo at the nearest kopitiam...

A place where kids are free to make Milo for themselves, but lacks a set roster to determine who's in charge of cleaning up. Haih. =P

Negative last thought before peng-ing

I'm glad I'm not a milo fan... Hwa hwa.

Hey, I got a couple of songs from Paradise Live. Remind me to give you a hear next time we meet online?
@ Sam
Science stank? What a coincidence. So did the cups. =) It wasn't a place I visited often, btw. I actually contemplated leaving them for the next person to deal with (cuz I had NO idea what to do with a cupfull of fungus), but that was plain wrong. I found out that boiling water dislodges fungi from surfaces very easily! =)
Indonesia? Sure... I even looked up a great hotel we could stay in. It even has fungus!
