When driving alone, what do you do?  Sing along to the radio?  Think about your day?  Something else?

I never drive alone in Indonesia. In fact, I never drive in Jakarta. My parents never allow me, because Jakarta's traffic is the worst.
But I used to drive back when I was in the US. Specifically, when I was in Southern California, where my parents bought me my first car (because it was - and still is - impossible to move around SoCal without having a car!). Public transportation is not so good, especially because there's no subway. Well, SoCal is so big, that a car is the primary means of transportation. When I was in college at Penn State, I used the university bus (the Blue & White Loop buses) to move around the campus buildings, and the public bus to go to the mall & beyond Penn State. Also, some of my friends had a car of their own, so they picked me up whenever we were going out. State College is a small town, so I didn't need a car there.

Anyway, whenever I drove by myself in SoCal, I usually listened to my CDs (rarely the radio, because I only listened to smooth jazz radio & there was none in Orange County area, I think). I never sang along if I was alone. I find it weird to do so if there's no one near me to hear me.
Sometimes I called a friend & talked, just to kill the time. Sometimes I had random thoughts, my mind just went rambling around.
The roads in the US are very smooth, they made me enjoy the drive. It's the most essential part, because I actually don't like driving that much.

How old were you when you had your very first boyfriend/girlfriend? Do you still know them now? 

I was pretty old when I had my first boyfriend: 18 years old.
Yup I still know all of my boyfriends now, but I don't keep in touch with them.
Once in a long while, I encounter my first love, but we only exchange a "Hi" and a wave (or a handshake, if we're close enough). I don't want to cause trouble to his wife, so I keep a distance.
I wish we could've been friends, though.
Oh well...

What's the weirdest baby name you've ever heard (or considered)?

Second weirdest baby name I've heard: Shiloh. Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie's daughter.
It sounds very masculine and simply weird.

The ultimate weirdest baby name: Anakku Lelaki (it's in Indonesian. English loose translation should be "My Son". So, imagine naming your son "My Son"...!!). That's the name of an Indonesian artist, Melly Goeslow's son. That's just cruel!

As for me, I don't like weird baby names, so I won't consider them if I think they're weird.

What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?

I have quite a few favorite:

- Penn State Creamery's pumpkin pie. Oooh, the ecstasy... You have to eat it on fall season. The flavor is at its best!
- Vineth Bakery's nougatine. My all-time favorite, but the taste has somewhat decreased lately... ;_;
- Praline restaurant's white mint sorbet.
- Haagen Dazs' caramel crispy sandwich.

... and some more that I forgot the names already.
I ♥♥♥ ice cream!

I'm a Canon fan, you must have realized by now :P
It's the 'safest' camera. Great lenses, very nice image quality & color, low noise, great features, good battery life, etc.
If I have a lot of money, I'll buy a Leica DSLR, because the color of the images is very beautiful! Great lenses, Leica that is. But they have to fix the noise problem first.
