Introduction


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.


The above image was taken in a cafe called Flapjack, situated in Kuta, Bali Island. I like to travel and eat :) So far the foreign countries I have been to are South Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan, China, Thailand and Singapore. I wish my next destination will be Paris and New York.
