This week... with ups and downs

Okay, this Saturday was a 'Fun Day' organised for the end of Financial Year and it really was fun.
I got the occasion to watch Pirates of the Carribean 4 last Saturday. Well, as most of the movies, I enjoyed it, especially since it was the very first 3D movie that I watched. Well, some say the movie was not that good, but I really liked it. The effects were nice indeed. The only thing is that I couldn't find Elizabeth Swann Turner (Keira Christina Knightley) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and was kind of sad since they had a child after the end of PoTC : At World's End after the generic. I guess that'll be for another time. This movie I'm sure one could watch it independent of the previous three. Though I sure will await the next one with impatience.

Sad thing later, was that the car literally got into another car's passenger door. The damage was not too serious, but still... it was at 11 pm and caused so much stress =/

On another note, I went to Villa Valriche this Saturday for a 'Fun Day', and getting everything paid by the company is not something I'd have expected at all! There was drinks served ad infinitum and various games during the day; table tennis, pool, babyfoot, Wii, 'petanque', football, beach volley and the organised treasure hunt, which our team got a bad surprise. Some previous team indeed played foul play on us, by moving one of the clues we have to get through hidden elsewhere so that we couldn't have it. Well, all the teams got to start differently and all the clues for all the teams are stacked up in the same place, except that when we finally found ours (out 4th out of 5 clues), the game was already over, our clue wasn't with the rest but all alone. The price was a free ticket to a luxurious hotel on the island...

Otherwise, I had one of those few times when your inbox is crowded with emails that Saturday and Sunday. So many notifications! >.< Among other things, I got promoted first to a helper on CHF then global moderator. And last but not least, there are new consoles on the market and new interesting games such as new Mario/Luigi games on the 3DS, then Pokedex, and a few more out there like Zelda Ocarina of Time which I'd like to have. The router... yes the router... I didn't get any news from the shopkeeper... I hope he didn't already forgot me... Maybe I should try to pay him a visit soon.
