  <about><![CDATA[Ika Natassa, currently a business banker, was born in Medan in 1977 and started her career as an apprentice at the Department of Primary Industry in Darwin and ACTEW Corporations Limited in Canberra, before venturing a career at one of the largest banks in Indonesia.  She's currently trying to squeeze in some time to write the next book after releasing Divortiare in July 2008, and is recently nominated for the prestigious Khatulistiwa Literary Award 2008 in the Talented Young Writers category.  Never afraid to try new things, she has done practically anything, from painting for a baseball restaurant in the United States when she was still studying at Stanton High School, bushwalking around Ayers Rock, taking blood samples from live cattles in Darwin, to teaching children in some rural villages in the heart of Kalimantan.  Aside from writing about leadership and banking services for her bank intern publications, she also wrote articles about golf and finance for Soap, a lifestyle magazine in Jakarta, and continuously pouring her thoughts about anything on her blog A Piece of My Mind.  This finalist of 2004 Cosmopolitan Magazine Fun Fearless Female published her first book, A Very Yuppy Wedding, through Gramedia in 2007, which also marked her first attempt on writing a book in bahasa Indonesia.  ]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>    <born_at>12/25/1977</born_at>
