INTRODUCING ME!
Hello! My name is Ria binti Rosman. And yes, yes, it's just Ria. My dad was very
creative. I was born and raised in Kuala Lumpur.
This city obviously has lots of specialties. Some of them being the neverending
traffic, city lights; amazing food, open-minded people, we've got it all. I mean,
where else can you find a place so congested with both party-people and religious
advocates?
Moving on, my interest consists of eating, sleeping, watching movies, baking and
composing songs.
I don't quite have a future plan yet. I'm still discovering myself every day, taking my
time. I genuinely just want to be happy and lead a peaceful life. And probably go
traveling the world with my loves ones, after retirement, of course... before I die.
If I have to describe myself in one word, it would be awkward. I don't know, I'd like
to say I'm funny but, yeah, no.
