No no, Jung actually did define Se as a hedonistic experience junkie; albeit a fairly refined one (at least on Psych Types -- still waiting on word on his other works, as I'm unwilling to slog through them). What Se and Si are, in any case, depends on what definition of them you're using though -- and you seem to have Jung mixed up with Berens and Sim.
Si definition 1 (Jung): Subjective view of reality. Si sees reality as unanchored to any given definition or perspective; depending mainly on the observer's view of it. Reality is what you think it is.
Si definition 2 (Berens): Storing data and information. Si collects a storehouse of data which to utilize to figure out present circumstances, and prefers to anchor itself to the unchanging and stable.
Si definition 3 (Sim): Perspective that it is most comfortable to relate reality to what one has experienced with their five senses -- attraction to reliving experiences, and dislike of novelty over what one knows to be best.
Si definition 4 (Thomson): Preference for having all variables accounted for and stable, gathering expertise to make sure one reliably knows what to do and how to do it; and avoid nasty surprises.
Those are all fairly different explanations of Si, I see the Thomson one being more "SP" oriented, looking at all the variables knowing what to do and how to do it, and the Bernes being more "SJ" oriented which is gathering data and comparing it to a storehouse of previous data.
