This trip must have been one of my most harrowing experiences and it has made me realize the importance of being alive and how lovely friendship can be. I guess when I was at the steep rocks of mount ophir with just a rope in my hands, as I thought of my family and as Kong Beng helped me from behind and friends cheered me on, I realize that my life encompasses so much more than just being me. It's everyone around that makes my presence on this earth worthwhile.

I just love everyone, everyone who was so supportive who displayed fantastic teamwork amongst the dark, the tiredness and the odds.

Dedicated To:

Kong Beng: I can never thank enough for everything, big brother!....thanks for giving me the courage to continue and completing the climb....=)

And well, it's probably enough mountain climbing for me in a while I guess....Till then, I'm really grateful for this trip as it has brought us together in so many amazing ways we would never have known....And may we carry the spirit of determination and friendship throughout the rest of our lives=)....
