The Wizarding World of HP...

We have Sunway Lagoon and Genting Theme Park.
But on the other side of the world, a new theme park is about to open. Riding on the wave of Harry Potter's world of Witchcraft and Wizardry, J.K. Rowling has just given her stamp of approval on a Harry Potter theme park, tentatively named "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter"!

All aboard for the Harry Potter rollercoaster

"...the Orlando park that is scheduled to open

in 2009."

"The park's opening could help to quell the

withdrawal symptoms

of Potter fans around the globe..."

"...create the world's first immersive

Harry Potter themed environment."

This comes at an opportune moment when the 7th Harry Potter book is about to be released, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, on 21st July 2007.
How's that for fueling the hype engine. ;-)

Start the Day right.

"Morning arrives on a ray of sunshine,
Bringing light to the darkness of night,
The day starts to come alive,
Revived with renewed might!"

Once in a Blue Moon.

Saw this interesting piece of news featured on Yahoo! yesterday:

The Truth Behind This Month's Blue Moon

Fancy seeing 2 full Moons in 1 month? Now you can. :)

Quotes from the article:

"In fact, it occurs, on average, about every 32 months. And in the year 1999, it occurred twice in a span of just three months!"

"This time around, the Moon will turn full on May 31 at 9:04 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (6:04 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time)."

"But for those living in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, that same full Moon occurs after midnight, on the calendar date of June 1."

Will this be what we see on that night?

Cool eh?

Heroes.

This post is a long time coming. Been an avid fan of Heroes when I decided to check out what the hype was all about. And boy oh boy, it definitely lives up to the hype and praise.
Since then I've been, how should I put it, 'converting' people over to the Heroes-side.
What's it about? Plainly described, it's a story about ordinary people with extraordinary abilities.

Some of the cast of Heroes.

Sounds simple? The premise pretty much is, but the way the creators, creative team and all who are behind this incredible series have crafted and developed it is a thing of beauty.
Right now it's still in the 1st season, which at the moment the latest episode is ep. 21, titled "The Hard Part". Besides the show, the creators have complimented it with a weekly release of graphic novels (aka comics), they can be found here.

There's 1 more episode to go before the season finale. It's not too late to catch on to Heroes. Awesome stuff.

It's on Monday nights at 9 Eastern Time. In Malaysia, it's currently airing over Astro on Star World: Wednesday 9pm. This is Heroes official Myspace site, here.

Some pics of the cast goofin' around:
Masi Oka and Jason Kyson Lee,
a.k.a. Hiro and Ando.

Milo Ventimiglia and Hayden Panettiere,
a.k.a. Peter Petrelli and Claire Bennet.

Leonard Roberts and Noah Gray-Cabey,
a.k.a. DL Hawkins and Micah Sanders.

One Big Happy Family.

Last but not least:
ROCK ON!!!
