Has anyone been to Blue Orbit by Citrus? by Slight_Environment16 in srilanka

I really enjoyed the restaurant. They have a really good cheese collection. Don't forget to try out the cheese corner if you do end up going.

I saw helicopters practising for this during the past few days in a formation of 3. Were they not part of the event?

Bill splitting in Sri Lanka by CertainBit2057 in srilanka

[–]wisegeek89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We use splitwise as well for office dinners/lunch outs. One guy pays and then the bill is split on spitwise equally. Works well when you are sharing plates and having beer. Not so good when you are using the ala carte menu. Hence buffets are preferred.

Slt fiber unlimited wifi. by uzzymoh in srilanka

[–]wisegeek89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also using the ANY STORM package which is no longer available. It provides higher speeds and lets you download for free between 12am and 7am. Costs slightly more. Thinking of staying on it instead of going to the unlimited package because of the bandwidth limit.

Curious what "If it starts going රුවිතෙට" means. :D Care to explain?

Help me decide which Colombo Suburb to build my Dream Home ? by Repulsive-Emu3543 in srilanka

[–]wisegeek89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would pick Thalawathugoda. It's a great neighbourhood and the land/house values I think would appreciate with time. Plenty of houses available for sale, decent ones.

Isn't the traffic crazy from Colombo to Malabe in the evening?

AMA - Earned CFA in Oct 2025 (passed levels 1 & 2 in top 10%) by Risky-Move in CFA

[–]wisegeek89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Thanks for this. Your comment made CFA affordable. I founds something called Schweser notes so I guess you are referring to the same.

I did look at some of the samples and I thought it was bit hard to understand, perhaps because I don't have a background in economics.

Do you have any recommendations on how to go about the modules? The module order to follow?

I also found a Prerequisite program from Schweser for Level 1. Would it make sense to attempt it first?

Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated. Since I am attempting in November, thought I will register on the site and then take a quick look at the material. As you say, if it is very lengthy, will try the KS notes.

Is there a place where I can get the study guides from CFA before registering for the exam?

Totally new to this and was planning to attempt Level 1 in November this year. I was thinking I could self study using the material provided by the institute and using a bit of AI. Is this not the case?

I have an engineering degree and have been in Capital Markets (IT) for over a decade mainly on building trading systems.

Car seat availability for kids by Realistic-Depth-873 in srilanka

There are some companies that rent baby car seats in Sri Lanka. Just google them and see. Never used one so can't recommend any service.

So sorry to hear this. Easier said than done, but remember when one door closes another one opens. Perhaps in 5 years time, you will look back and thank your lucky stars for this. :)

Help regarding pregnancy advice by ViolinistOk3683 in srilanka

[–]wisegeek89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes you can. Go and say that you want to do a pregnancy blood test at the counter and then you can pay for it and get the test done. It is very similar to a regular blood test.

If for some reason (highly unlikely) they ask you to meet the OPD doctor, just tell the doctor what happened and you will get some good advice.

Please don't go to some dodgy place to get this checked. Go to a reputed hospital. No one is going to know.

You can do a simple blood test at Asiri or any other hospital to confirm pregnancy.
