Tribute to Mr Jobs
It's 1am in the morning and the 3rd day after Steve Jobs' death announced.
I've been studying for the whole day and I've decided to give myself a break and start writing something to pay a tribute to Mr Jobs.
I woke up as usual to get to IUT at 7.30am, sipping coffee in front of my laptop after a wakeup bath.
Logged in to Facebook and I saw Kenny's post on my wall.
"You were not gonna like this, Mr Jobs has passed away."
I rubbed my eyes, twice, just to make sure that I wasn't dreaming or hallucinating.
I quickly googled it, and I found out his death is wild spread in the net.
My heart sunk.
It was just one day after the whole new iPhone 4S has been launched and I admit that I was quite disappointed by the whole 4S.
We were all expecting the whole new iPhone 5 to be released but all we got is an upgraded iPhone 4.
But all of that doesn't really matter anymore, because when I clicked into Apple's website, I saw the portrait of Mr Jobs and underneath it's written 1955-2011.
I know from this moment, this can't be a prank or whatsoever.
This is the truth.
Steve Jobs has passed away.
The man who co-founded, ex-CEO and spiritual leader of Apple, is forever gone.
The man who used to give out awesome and incredible presentation during the WWDC had left us for another world.
I can still remember 2010, he gave me my best birthday present ever, the iPhone 4 as he was presenting the world the whole iPhone on the 7th of June 2010, it was my birthday. I can still recall that every 20 seconds I was scrolling the live blog from Engadget to catch up the latest update of WWDC on my old iPhone 3G.
But, there's no more Jobs' presentation on the upcoming WWDC.
Looking at the news of his death, I can't help but shedding tears.
I'm browsing at the pictures people paying tribute to him, leaving flowers and messages in front of Apple around the world.
I wish there's an Apple store around Toulouse that I could at least pay some tributes or leave him a note expressing gratitude but there's nothing I can do.
Reading from the articles wrote after the deceased Mr Jobs, I found that there's alot of people out there, sharing the same feeling as mine. People around the globe are paying homage to him, leaving flowers and post it notes at the Apple store, tweeting, Instagramming etc.
The very first Apple product I've ever owned is my iPod video, though I wanted a Nano for a long time ago.
Until this moment, I still think that the 1st gen Nano has the best design and nothing comes close to it.
From that very moment, I'm an Apple fanboy and brought a big fight into my family as I recalls.
I basically screwed up my family vacations in Australia 2005 because I couldn't get my dad to buy me one Nano. I was young, reckless and rebellious, throwing tantrums to my parents.
But a year later, I got my first iPod, at Penang's Switch.
And by then, my family starts owning more and more Apple products, iMac to iPad to iPhone and Macbook Pro.
The more I'm using Apple products, the more I want to know about the mystery behind them, and that eventually leads me to Steve Jobs.
I guess Apple is the only that could does all the magics and keeps you attracted to their products.
And certainly without Steve Jobs, Apple couldn't have done all of this.
He knew what we wanted, before we knew it.
Mr Jobs, I just wanted to say
You're the greatest man I've ever known after my father, even I haven't even meet you in person but the things you did truly revolutionized and changed our world. I will always remember what you said,
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
Thank you Steve.
Rest in peace.
