Those cotyledon leaves look like they are browning up. So i would say they need a very light feed.

Edit: And yeah they look a bit over watered. you only want to give them 20ml of water every 2 or 3 days until the root zone builds up

I thought cotyledon should be light green?
what kind of fertilizer I can give to my seedling? I am afraid it will be too strong for new plant.

I stick my finger into the soil quite deep and it is just moist, not wet. is it fine? I am so afraid it will be under watered :-(

Yes, you want it moist, but not wet. It's pretty hard to under water a seedling and it's very easy to over water them.

Yeah what treefarmercharlie said. Use a spray bottle and give it a good misting once it dries out. It doesn't need much water at all at this stage

Even if the moist is not that much? Sometimes I stick my pinky finger as deep as possible, I felt very little moist on my finger, even the soil would not stick to my finger.

Maybe 3 times a week? Is it okay if I spray onto the leaf? My first grow before, I sprayed on the leaf and it got burned from sun, I think the droplet was acting like magnifying glass

The easiest way to know how long you need to wait is to count the days it takes for the leaves on the plant to look thin and hang like a rag. If it takes 5 days to do that then water every 4 days. No need to spray the leaves and doing that can cause mold and other issues.
