Started her experience with LEGO back in 1987. During her first pregnancy, she watched a television showing kids playing with LEGO and promised herself that her son must play with it.

There was no store selling Lego in Medan in 1987. Only on her husband, Mr. Sofyan Raz, business trip to Japan, she has her first Lego set. It was intended for the just born baby. But her husband bought her a Lego system which was not suitable for baby. Instead of her son, she was the one who played with it.

She was soon attached to it and till today has had more than hundreds sets of LEGO she does not know to count. She has her private LEGO Gallery at her school.

And she will be adding more.

Here is what he says about himself :
My parents have great influenced in my early stage of playing with LEGO. They wanted me to know and play with the ‘in’ toys then. Vacation at 1999 in Singapore was my first acquaintance with LEGO and I got attached with LEGO StarWars. Since then I started to collect sets of LEGO Star Wars.
That was until  year 2003, I felt that it was hard to get LEGO Star Wars set, and the price were getting more and more expensive. Added with the feeling of not a kid anymore, I stopped my hobby on LEGO Star Wars and moved to other hobby.

On Year 2004, I understood that LEGO is not for kids only, in addition to my passion, I started to play with LEGO again and collecting more LEGO Star Wars sets.

In year 2005, I joined the LEGO Building Competition in ClubStore, Medan and managed to win the 1st place.

To date, I have 42 LEGO Star Wars sets and plan to add more. My biggest LEGO Star Wars collection is 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer, UCS, with the lenght of 90 cm and weight approximately 5-6 kg, took me 48 hours ( 2 days ) to build it.
