Brand New Band!!!
Dead Poetic's new album 'New Medicines'

This week hasn't been as boring as I expected but I could be doing more. Went to watch Van Helsing on Monday with Dale, Yvette and Gerald. Dale & Yvette won a pair of tickets each (They're so lucky) to the Gala premiere of the movie. Dale asked me if I wanted the ticket and asked if I had anyone to call along... Called Gerald since he doesn't have to stay in camp. The movie was good... 2 hours of non-stop, jam-packed action. Its been very long since any movie had me this close to the edge of my seat. Walked out of the theatre with a buzz in my head cos I had watched Vanilla Sky the night before and Resident Evil again that very afternoon.

Had lunch with Matt on Monday & Tuesday. Discussed about music and new songs for the band. Made me want to go jamming again. Watched Win a Date with Tad Hamilton with Elissa after lunch... Not a bad show. But unrealistic like every other romantic comedy. After that went down to TP to play soccer with some school friends. That was really fun.

My poem got selected for the semifinals of the Poetry.com contest. I get US$1000 if I win. And they want to publish my poem in a book called Eternal Portraits. Its a coffee table sort of book. I don't get anything for that publication though. Have to buy it. I hope I win...
