My name is Long Shee Yee Evelyn. I am a student of Bachelor of Business Administration (Hons.) (Management with Multimedia). I am in Section BC271B for Digital Media I tutorial class.


This is my first blog which I am very excited. I find that it is interesting to share thought, idea and feeling through cyberspace.
