Thoughts of the Moment
May 12, 2006
Things have been moving really fast recently…really, really fast…so fast that I feel so surreal. I don’t even want to mention them here, cuz I’m afraid that once I speak of it, the magic will be lost.
Yet, in spite of all of these, I can’t help feeling that I’m missing San Diego. Isn’t that funny? I mean, after all, I already moved from San Diego to San Francisco in June before finally returning to Jakarta…so San Diego was definitely a very, very old history. Yet, I’m missing it all the time. Come to think of it, during my 6 months in SF, I went back to San Diego 4 times. So maybe I’m having a San Diego withdrawal right now? I don’t know…I guess we just tend to try to go back to where we are the happiest…
My love affair with food still continues…today we went to Bandung, and my goodness, the things we ate today…from serabi with chocolate, peanuts, cheese and milk to chicken au gratin. The afternoon started with lunch at Bumbu Desa, then some shopping, then Surabi Imut, and the last stop was Sierra. The view at Sierra was awesome…kinda reminded me of the view from the top of twin peaks minus the cold, gusty winds.
I’m still struggling with my study for the CFA exam. The exam will be in 3 weeks, but I’m still slacking off. Nothing sticks to my brain…and I’m blaming it on the study environment LOL. I guess things are different from when I was studying for the level 1. At that time, I got the privilege of studying in the quiet, well-lit SDSU library among books, serious atmosphere, and a legion of friends who were also taking the exam. I was also studying the materials in the classrooms…so yes, everything was just a review for me. But now…I study at home, where there are 24 hour cable TV, bed, DVDs, food…and somehow, my brain went into a finance freeze. Feliz to brain, wake up brain, wake up!!…please?!
I just so need to feel alive again….
