Special Announcement: My First Baby Girl



A new life is brought to this world, ie. I have a baby girl! What more to say…ehmmm…..
Well, I would say challenges are waiting for the baby to beat.

Facing the current world situation is not easy, my point of view is that you need to have at least the followings:-
1. Education (College / Degree Level)
2. Computer Literature (Internet World / E-world)
3. IQ
4. EQ
5. Specialized Skills
6. others

What can we do to help our next generation?
At least, we should stop spoiling the world (observe the global-warming effect!). Let’s work together to have a better world for the future generations.
