Hello world!

Posted by xiaoqiye on April 2, 2008

Come on in, join my journey. Experience how Digital Media spice your life, connect you and the rest of the world. 

This is spring time. When i first arrived in front of Communication building with my friend, it was already dark, day light is short by then. I get to know this building by smelling gentle but hard to trace flower fragrant. Hmm… smell is also a way of communication 🙂 Let’s add it into the class 🙂
