Thank You Steve Jobs
I have never been a fan of Apple. In fact, I'm still not one now. I didn't even know who Steve Jobs was until Ach gave me the iPhone 4. When I got it, I wasn't sure how to react. Eh, best sangat ke menatang alah ni?
Now I can't live a day without my iPhone, though I still think that iPad is an overpriced toy. Useless, at some point. But I digress.
Despite being a non-fan and non-believer of the coolness of Apple's overpriced stuff, I must admit that this iPhone of mine has worked really great for me, especially those times when I had to travel for work. Thanks to Facetime and iPhone's wonderful apps like twitter, instagram, viber (the most awesomest of all), the thousands of miles travelled felt closer, in fact, almost non existent. Although there was one time that iPhone made it harder, when Kimi refused to do Facetime with me and shoved Ach's phone in the almari. Then he cried for the longest time and and the evil ach boleh tak disconnect the call?! Of course, I could disconnect it myself but i didnt.
And because of iPhone, Viber was invented and made my calls and texts back home cost nothing when it would've costed me hundreds of ringgit to make the same calls via telco network. Case in point, in February 2010 when I was away in India my phone bill charges came up to RM400. I didn't have to pay anything when I was in India the second time this year. I even managed to show ach the streets of india, live, bila one of the shops tepi jalan had unprotected wifi. Talk about the world is flat, baby!
Anyways, here's a big, fat thank you to Steve Jobs for making my travels much, much, much easier for a mom-of-one and wife-of-a-loving-i-cant-stand-havin-my-wife-away-husband. Your (and your team's) creation has made the impossible possible, made difficult things much easier, and most importantly, you bring distance closer. In fact, you made distance almost impossible.
And for that, I thank you, dear Sir. You've touched my life in places that really matters. May you rest in peace.
