Wah seh!!! I screwed up my whole piano exam today.. Aww, no more distinction for me already.

Hais, not used to the sound and the keys and Im too nervous while I was playing the pieces. Nevermind, what's over is over now. No use crying over spilked(?) milk.

See what I just saw...
Gyromitra esculenta - is an ascomycete fungus from the genus Gyromitra, widely distributed across Europe and North America and one of several species of fungi known as false morels. It normally sprouts in sandy soils under coniferous trees, in spring and early summer. The fruiting body, or mushroom, is an irregular brain-shaped cap dark brown in colour which can reach 10 cm (4 in) high and 15 cm (6 in) wide, perched on a stout white stipe up to 6 cm (2.4 in) high.

Although potentially fatal if eaten raw, Gyromitra esculenta is a popular delicacy in
Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and the upper Great Lakes region of North America. It may be sold fresh in Finland, but it must be accompanied by warnings and instructions on correct preparation. It is eaten in omelettes, soups, or sautéed in Finnish cuisine. Although popular in some districts of the eastern Pyrenees, it is prohibited from sale to the public in Spain.

Although it is still commonly consumed after
parboiling, recent evidence suggests that even this procedure may not make the fungus entirely safe; thus raising concerns of risk even when prepared properly. When consumed, the false morel's principal active agent, gyromitrin, is hydrolyzed into the toxic compound monomethylhydrazine (MMH). The toxin affects the liver, central nervous system, and sometimes the kidneys. Symptoms of poisoning involve vomiting and diarrhea several hours after consumption, followed by dizziness, lethargy and headache. Severe cases may lead to delirium, coma and death after 5–7 days.

Wow. People, I suggest you don't eat this weird thingy. You can go to wikipedia to search. This is totally gross! And it's fatal. haha.

My table is in a big mess! I think I've gotta clear all my books and file all my worksheets on Sat. Hmm.. Finish my homework by sat also. I now left just the speech. Yay.

It's early in the morning.. =D
