I was born and raised in Indonesia, married with an American man and now live in PA-USA, graduated with excellent result from University of Pembangunan Nasional (UPN), Surabaya, Indonesia from Agriculture Faculty and Agronomy was as my subject study. I also took several courses: in Public Relations and Broadcasting and I was the best graduate from there. My other favorite course was French.
Singing is my hobby. Before I left my country to US, I ever joint with six different Vocal groups. Five of them were Christian Vocal groups. I have interest in landscaping and broadcasting. I got my first job in landscaping and worked for almost five years handling from small to big projects, from single houses, real estates, offices, hotels, apartments and condominiums. I also like writing, gardening, dancing, cooking, crafting and trying something new, good and interesting.
Talking about writing, it becomes a part of my life. I like to write to express my feeling, my thought, etc in Indonesian and english. Besides at Helium, you can find my writings at www.kabarindonesia.com, www.cross-written.com, www.dailyavocado.net, www.andaluarbiasa.com, and my three blogs; www.abbottsbooks.com, www.fidaabbott.blogspot.com, and www.buanainspiration.blogspot.com.
In my daily activities, besides I take care of my five years old daughter, I become a part of WALMART family as a part time Associate. For online daily activities, I am as a Managing Editor at www.kabarindonesia.com, an online daily Indonesian news based on Citizen Journalism, which is right now in its third year (in November 11, 2009) has had more than 10.000 Indonesian Citizen Journalists from around the world. I also responsible to manage the online writing course at KabarIndonesia as a Director.
Right now I have several projects, writing my cookbooks in series and preparing to write my second novel while waiting for my first novel will be published in February/ March 2010.
