Shielded,

Feeling invincible,

Momentarily.

One often feels safe and invincible when shielded. That's until the illusion of being protected last.

A Traveller's Tale:Giant Mushrooms

I remember the good old days when teachers in school asked students to draw a scene of a fascinating land or a scene in a dream and they would come up with a scene where giant mushrooms abound. Calvatia gigantea or the Giant puffball, found throughout Europe and North America, in the meadows, fields, and deciduous forests in late summer and autumn grow to 10 to 70 centimetres (3.9 to 28 in) in diameter and occasionally to 150 centimetres (59 in), would not qualifiy as giant mushrooms at all if Armillaria ostoyae , or the honey mushroom said to have been discovered in the Malheur National Forest in Eastern Oregon really exists. The latter is a fungus 3.5 miles across and takes up 1,665 football fields. Other than these mushrooms that I read about, the biggest mushrooms I have come across must be the one in Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur. Those are synthetic mushrooms made to please the crowds. Things are often made to please! Which of these giant mushrooms do you fancy?

Little Talk: Preachers Don't Preach

A preacher is said to be person who delivers a sermon but just now, I thought maybe a preacher does more than that. A preacher once caused an outcry when he brought to the attention of the public about some socks sold in a convenience shop. The latest was the news of him suggesting ways to a teacher on how to convert minors without their parents' knowledge. Perhaps, his supporters may say that the preacher had meant well since it must be his utmost belief that his is the only true religion that ensures that the followers go to heaven. He has suggested students of the teachers who are around 15 and 16 years old could perform their proclamation of faith, i.e to be converted but the process is not to be recorded using cameras or videos. They are not to be registered too like what is usually done. Would you, as parents send your kids to school where teachers preach and what do you think of preachers who does more than preach?
