What makes you feel the most secure?
I feel most secure when I’m listening to my music on my iPod. Songs are not just the soundtrack to my life, but trusted and faithful friends as well.

If you were a shoe, what kind would you be and why?
I would be a pair of ballet flats. That type of shoe best reflects my personal style – comfortable, classic, and very versatile (you can dress them up, dress them down, and wear them with pretty much any kind of outfit). They’re also one of the few shoes I can actually wear, thus I have 10+ pairs of them in different colours.

How many languages do you speak?
Just one – English. I have limited knowledge of French and Indonesian. I studied French in grade school, so I know some words and can say some basic phrases. My parents speak Indonesian, but having my brothers and I speak the language was never a necessity. I can pick up the gist of conversations by listening, but I don’t dare engage myself in conversation because I sound absolutely ridiculous when I speak. I’ve never felt the desire to learn since I’ve never fully connected with Indonesian culture.

What was the largest city you have been to? What is the one thing you remember most?
New York City. I remember standing on the streets, looking around and looking up, and feeling so small, yet limitless and overwhelmed with possibilities. It was one of the most wondrous feelings in the world and I can’t wait to experience that again someday soon…

Would you rather be stuck in a small plane with mild turbulence for 2 hours or be a passenger in a car racing the Daytona 500?
A passenger in a car racing the Daytona 500, because how often will you get the opportunity to fulfill that need for speed? Of course, I’d have to ensure that I’d be riding with a professional race car driver before stepping one foot into the vehicle. As for the alternative, small plane + turbulence (no matter how mild) = hell to the no.

Would you rather be alone with nobody in the vicinity for one month or never be alone not even for a minute for one month?
Alone with nobody in the vicinity for one month. I think I could bear the lengthy break from civilization and communication (I’m naturally a loner anyway) and it beats having people hover over you 24/7. Those poor people wouldn’t last the full month, I’m just sayin’…

Would you like to sleep in a human size nest in a tree or be snuggled in a burrowed spot underground?
Sleep in a human size nest in a tree, I suppose? At least I’d have fresh air to breathe when I’m up in the trees. Snuggling and hibernating in an underground spot sounds cozy yet suffocating..

In a car would you rather drive or be a passenger?
A backseat driver passenger. I am a competent driver (focused, follows the rules of the road, etc.) but I don’t particularly like driving, so I’ll rather relax and enjoy the ride.

Regarding animals would you prefer not having them around or having domestics pets, farm animals, or seeing them in nature or the zoo?
Since I was a kid, I have always wanted a pet. We did have a tank full of fish for a while, but they were pretty much there for decoration. I wanted a furry little companion to call my own – a cat, a dog, a rabbit… but my family’s house just isn’t a suitable home for critters. One day, when I get my own apartment, I will adopt a tabby kitten named Duchess. I’d also love to go on an African Safari to see the wild animals roam around in their natural habitats.

Are you a collector of anything?
I collect everything that I deem to have value and special meaning – memorabilia, souvenirs, stuffed animals, CDs and DVDs, make-up, etc. It’s gotten to the point where I hardly have any room in my room! So now, at least twice a year, I do a clean-out to clear up space by tossing the things I really should not hold on to anymore. Do I really need those old, worn out movie ticket snubs from decades ago? No, no I don’t. And I donate all of the stuff that other people could use, like clothes and books. However, I will always keep all of the trinkets, autographs, greeting cards, postcards, and letters that I receive from people.

If you could know the answer to any question, besides “What is the meaning of life?”, what would it be?
I’d want to know what really happened behind the mysterious deaths of Classic Hollywood actors and actresses – especially that of Marilyn Monroe and Natalie Wood – and put all of the conspiracy theories to rest once and for all.

If you were to treat yourself to the “finer things” what would you treat yourself to?
Handbags, handbags, handbags! I would treat myself to a collection of pretty purses from Kate Spade to Chanel to Hermes! I’d probably be too scared to wear any of the high-end labels out, but perhaps I could start my own museum of bags?

If you could make a 15 second speech to the entire world, what would you say?
Worry less. Whatever it is that’s troubling you, you can overcome it. Smile more. Let the world see the beauty of your light and in turn, feel joy. Embrace change. There are opportunities just waiting for you to embrace them. Listen and love. The best way to show people you care is by hearing what they have to say. Be passionately curious. Engage with what fascinates you and see your life take a turn for the better! (I totally stole the bolded phrases from the shirt I’m currently wearing.)

If you could take a photograph, paint a picture or write a story of any place in the world, what and where would it be?
I would love to compose a photo essay of London, England. That city is filled with an abundance of old history as well as new stories of love and discovery from the diverse make-up of people who currently reside there.

If you had to spend one weekend alone in a single store but could remove nothing, which store would you pick?
I would spend a weekend in my favourite American department store, Bloomingdale’s, and pass the time trying on all of the upscale clothing, shoes, and accessories (and the handbags! Oh, the handbags!) and eating the expensive chocolates for survival.

If you were given a boat or yacht today, what would you name it?  (You an always sell the yacht later)
Mango Coconut. It reminds me of my Mom (her two favourite fruits).
