Stay Hungry and Stay Foolish #SteveJobs

Today marks the passing of a great innovator and entrepreneur, Mr Steve Jobs.




As an engineer, I think Steve is a person who managed to bridge the future with the present. He also made technology fun and welcoming.

As a gadget enthusiast, I think Steve is a person who brought us many wonderful gadgets into our lives. Heck, I even had my share of spending half a day lining up at the Apple Store just to get my hands on my iPad.

We can all read about Steve's life stories and how he started Apple, from the vast reading links on the Internet. You can be inspired all you want or just learn about this person, who, with all his faults and falterings have come to become one of the most iconic person in the world of technology. I will leave you to do your own reading.




Although slightly faulty, it still plays good music after 6 years of tough love.

Apple products have always held my interests more than anything else. Although I must admit that I was always sceptical about Apple's products at first, like the iPhone with it's touchscreen, the iPod which is bulky and the iPad for it's silly name. I remembered the awe when I first (secretly) tested the iMac, touching Apple's magic mouse, back in the days when I was doing cleaning jobs at the uni. Boy, did that put my old pc to shame... At the end, I have come to agree that nothing much compares to the sleekness and ease of use of these shiny little electronic things.
As hard as I try to deny, I think I might be a closeted fangirl.

He led the way, and people followed.

Thank you Steve Jobs for bringing the future to us. You will be missed.




The King has died. Long live the King (in his iDevices)
(I felt compelled to write a tribute to him, for if not for the iPad that he introduced, this post will not be possible.)

A moment of silence for Japan

It's one bad news after another. At the end of last week, the world got the news that Japan was stroked by a 8.9 magnitude earthquake and followed by a devastating tsunami that reportedly killed thousands of people and rendered many homeless.

In times of adversity like these that we see the true nature of man, more easily with the help of internet and social networking. There are sympathizers that offers prayers and help, and then there are the haters, yes, haters who said Japan had it coming for them because of WWII inflictions. Then tell me trolls, what happened to Germany? There are so many more, but I'd rather not focus on this right now. What ever you do, please don't put salt to injury, they are hurting enough already, please provide support.

Although I am thousands of miles away, news and videos on the internet travels fast. It's harrowing to see these images, of cars, lorries and houses being swept away by the tsunami current like it was made out of cardboards. I truly sympathize to those who has lost their family members and belongings in this natural disaster (the irony of disaster being anything but 'natural' is distasteful actually).

I was brought to remember the 2004 tsunami in Aceh. We still have not gotten over the emotional feeling that come to surface every time we think about it, and now this?

It is a very sad news and my prayers for all in Japan, may you all be in the safe guard of God and may He grant you all strength in facing this adversity. 

And I do hope they manage to contain the radioactive nuclear plant from meltdown. I really hate to see things go from bad to worse.
