From The Jakarta Post:

“Jakartans told to duck under desks during quake” –> Apparently, I was not alone last week: “I thought it was my vertigo, since I suddenly felt sick and wanted to throw up. When I excused myself from the meeting, other participants said they felt the same. That was when I knew a quake had happened,” 40-year-old senior public relations officer Yudy Rizard told The Jakarta Post Tuesday.

“Experts criticize city spatial plan”
–> I wish Jakarta had more green spaces!

Random Question: Why does each day seem slow, but months and years go by quickly?

Research Update: Alas, last Saturday’s focus group discussion was cancelled. Only one person showed up. Very confusing, especially given that the other focus groups went reasonably well. Looks like this coming weekend will be jam-packed!

I think the construction may be completed soon. I could definitely do without hearing the hammering, pounding, sawing, etc. in the early mornings!
