How about showing off your best holiday moments with a hardcover Fotobook – for free?
This school holiday, get yourself a copy of 8.5″ x 11″ hardcover Fotobook (20 pages, worth RM129) for free, with every purchase of a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, or iMac. Offer valid from 21 -31 August 2009, or while stocks last.
And to better kick-start you holiday, do something for the society. From 21-23 August 2009, Switch@Gurney Plaza (old wing, near Popular Bookstore) will be having a Charity Clearance Sale. Here is how it works. Donate to SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), Penang on the spot, and you are entitled to enjoy the promotional price for selected items in the outlet from as low as RM1.
What do we have in store? You may ask. Some old, and some new. SPCA, Penang will be showcasing some of their merchandises and promoting their cause in the outlet during the 3 days. If you have been thinking of dressing up your old iPod – at a lower price, now could be the best time. iPod and Mac accessories are priced starting from RM1 during these 3 days, and as long as you make a donation (in any amount that you are comfortable with, eg: RM1, or RM100), you may enjoy the special price. We are still working on finalising the items on sale and prices, and hopefully will be able to post up the best deal here tomorrow, so stay tuned!

(Husna – H)
Q: First of all, congratulations for being nominated as July 2009’s Switch Superstar! So tell us a bit about yourself, where are you from, your age, what do you do beside working at Switch, you know, the personal stuff.
H: First of all, I just want to say thank you all! The first thing that I wanted to do when I got the email notification on this was to LOL (laugh-out-loud)! Me being nominated as Switch Superstar. This is the craziest thing! 
OK back to myself. I was born in Kuala Lumpur, but my parents are currently staying in Negeri Sembilan. I am 22 years old, not married yet. I live with my colleague in Serdang.
Q: When did you join Switch, and what made you join?
H: I started working at Switch in February 2009. What made me join Switch? Erm… I guess I’m in love with a Mac. I have actually worked with another Apple Authorised Reseller before joining Switch. I think as an Apple Premium Reseller, Switch is a better platform for me to get to know more about Apple and Mac.
Q: Please describe your typical day at work.
H: Most of the time I like to start working in the morning because for me, working in the morning means I get to get up early and prepare myself early. I normally arrive at the outlet around 9:45am – 9:55am. After punching in, I clean the outlet a little, and settle some admin work. And then of course I attend to customers who walk in. The basic things that all other Switchers are doing.
Q: What is your favourite part of working at Switch?
H: My favourite part is when I manage to close a deal with a customer who has a different opinion with me. These are really valuable experiences, and the feeling is AMAZING!
Q: Can you share with us the most important thing that you’ve learned from working at Switch?
H: It is our responsibility to fulfill customers’ needs and requirements with the best that we can offer.
Q: What advice would you give to other Switchers (your colleagues) at work?
H: Be patient and passionate about your work. Enjoy your work. Take your job as your responsibility!
