I Am a Free Bird!

As some of you may have been aware that I was preparing for the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) in the last few months, on and off. I was not as dedicated at the beginning as I was towards the end. In addition, I almost took the whole month off studying back in September when Dave and I went to China to visit my family. This task was finally over yesterday. Now I am as free as a bird. The test itself was not that difficult. There was just too much stuff to remember. I did much better than expected in the morning session but not so well in the afternoon one. Over the last few months, my mind was full of NPV, IRR, p-value, etc. I am just so happy that I can now move on to other things I want to do. I won't touch CFA again at least a year and a half later. What a relief!

It was my birthday last Thursday. Dave took me out to Daily Catch, an Italian seafood restaurant near the water-front area. We had cake afterwards. This is my 34th birthday, not as big as the 20th or the 30th. But this was my last single birthday. In that sense, it is almost as big as the 20th, 30th, etc. I also received birthday cards from Sharon and Terry, and Aunt Jeanie and Uncle Roger. Thank you so much for remembering my birthday.
