Steve Jobs is dead.
Let me rephrase that, Steve Jobs passed away peaceful surrounded by his family and friends.
Yesterday. I still can't believe he is dead.
He passed away on the 5th Oct 2011 in the U.S. but 6th in M'sia
I was playing my piano, and my mum interupted me. She asked me, 'Who is Steve Jobs?' with that 'I think I've heard he's name before' look. She asked 'Is he from Apple?'
I saw my mum's expression and I was like "Yes, he's from Apple. He's the co-founder and ex-CEO of Apple.Why? Is he dead? Yes he's from Apple, is he dead?"
YUP, HE'S DEAD
I heard an bomb explode. HE CAN'T BE DEAD,ya'know....He's just one of those people that are so 'Godly' that you never thought that they could die. But I kinda had it coming cause he did take a lot of medical leaves and resigned.
He definitely changed my life.

My first encouter, personally, with an Apple product was when my dad was working outside of his company with a man from India. He had two sons. One was playing with his PSP and the other with his iPod touch.
Thinking back now, I'm kinda surprised that they actually lend it to my brother and I to play with it. He refered to the iPod touch as iTouch. At that time, we recently purchased a GPS, which was very uncommon at that time in M'sia. So I took the 'pen' included and started tapping on the screen of the iTouch but it wasn't working. Only them I figured out that you could only use your fingers but at that time, I had no idea why until years later.
And so I spent the later years convincing my dad to buy me a iPod touch. But I got a laptop instead. I was 12, and in Form 1.
I wanted a MacBook White, but got an COMPAQ instead. Was dissapointed but there's an upside to PCs, you can play pirated games on it.
Throughout lower secondary, I wanted a iPod touch but my mum said that a iPhone would be much more useful and worth the money. So I continued my convincing and it still didn't work out.
I was kinda giving up on asking my dad to buy it and was secretly waiting for someone to give it to me as a gift. that someone meaning Yeni Wi. the girl who had 'connections' to the people in 1,Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California.
Last December my dad was working ( and still is ) with a man from Turkey. He promised my dad that a iPhone if he did a good job. And he kept his promise :)
My dad is more of a NOKIA guy. He just needs a phone that can store contacts, calls and text.
So.....HE GAVE IT TO ME !!!!!!
I got my very own iPhone! though it was a iPhone 3Gs and iPhone 4 was already out then. but still
I FINALLY HAVE AN iPHONE!
Then there was this thing, called the iPad. At first I thought, what a stupid name! TechnoPad....
I thought that it was useless. And it didnt have a camera.
So I waited....and waited...and waited...( I actually didn't have to wait that long )
I got my iPad 2 in June'11 from Switch in Gurney Plaza, Penang. Thanks to the sales guy Anis.
and ordered my red smart cover online :D
So, my conclusion is,
Steve Jobs changed the way I see this world. He changed my life forever. I can't imagine the world without him. He is truly the Da Vinci of our time.
Hope he's having fun in the iCloud!
