The answers to the quiz, s'il vous plait...

1. First love to music: (i.e. the genre that made me fall in love to music in the first place)
answer: classical (Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin)
comment: Before I knew any other genre of music (musical, jazz, 80's, new age), I fell in love with classical music. Why? Because I learned to play piano since I was 5. The majority of the test-takers answered musical, which comes second chronologically.

2. Soda:
answer: Italian hazelnut soda
comment: Tricky, isn't it? :D Normally I do not like soda, except for Italian hazelnut soda (my ultimate favorite) & IBC cream soda (the second-best answer).

3. What I really want to do in the future (aka dream job):
answer: A wonderful housewife & excellent mother (full-time), with a small amount of work (part-time) for steady income
comment: Everything else comes second. To be a housewife & mother is my future. To excel as a housewife & mother and to be able to support my future husband with steady income is my goal. I am not ambitious in careerwise, you see...

4. Most favorite fragrance: (i.e. the fragrance I usually put on after taking a bath)
answer: Zwitsal's Baby Lotion
comment: Smells good all the time. Most natural, too. Bath & Body Works' Country Apple comes second. The other perfumes listed come third. I only use perfumes occassionally, for special events only. But the baby lotion & country apple are used everyday, one or the other, interchangeably.

5. The next best thing to orgasm:
answer: Ossetra caviar on top of goose foie gras with truffles on top of Carr's crackers
comment: It would be nice to be able to shop as much as I please, own as many anime as possible, or see as many Broadway shows as possible, but nothing would beat the ecstasy of the first bite of Ossetra caviar + goose foie gras + Carr's crackers combined.

6. First criterion of a future husband:
answer: mature
comment: One could be all caring & dependable, but if he is not mature, I do not take a second consideration.

7. First love to anime/manga:(i.e. the title that made me fall in love to anime/manga in the first place)
answer: Candy Candy
comment: I fell in love with anime/manga since 6th grade. Candy Candy was the introduction manga, and I have always loved it forever. Candy Candy, Garasu no Kamen (Glass Mask), and Chizumi & Fujiomi are the anime titles I knew back then when I was in Indonesia, before I went to the USA. The majority picked Maison Ikkoku.

8. The most beautiful language:
answer: French
comment: If you read my journal here, you'll get it easily. I often write in French, don't I? And anyone who picked Indonesian is simply.... wrong! ¬_¬

9. The fashion designer label I loved the most from Spring 2001 collection: (hint: see firstview.com)
answer: Cacharel
comment: I once wrote an entry about this. The Spring 2001 collection of Cacharel is my utmost favorite: French style meets Japanese. Toile print meets obi. Vivienne Westwood comes second.

10. I thank God for:
answer: My mom
comment: Everything else comes second. I would not have been what I am today without my mom.

Tricky, hm? ^^
