Hi Climbers,
I have gone through all the video clips and they are great. Had some good laughs looking at how some of you really struggled through the climb. We are still waiting for the other photos to come in for us t compile and put it into a CD.
I am leaving for Perth on Tuesday. Mindy and my grandchildren have migrated and I need to be there with them at least for the first part of their new journey. I should be back to KL on 10 May. After that, we can have that gathering for cimbers in my house. I will let you all know the date.
Some of us did get together after the climb. I had some really interesting games with the Kepong gang. They are really good sportsmen. In badminton, the score is 'draw'. They won one and I won one. In table-tennis, I won everything (believe it or not) including the games where I used the shoe (hahahaha!).
I have promised to join them for future games and we should be able to do some new things too. This recent bunch of climbers (which means all of you) are a great bunch. Let's catch up soon and get your photos ready, OK!!
Anyone keen to make some money on Internet Marketing can email either Sam, Jit Nee or myself. We will let you know how you can make some good incomes sitting in your own homes.
Chow!!

We all made it!!!
What a climb! 44 of us made the climb and we all made it! 3 kids below 12 and 2 adults above 60. What a combination! We have thousands of pictures and lots of videos. I had such a blast watching the vidoes of the climb. The satisfaction that was on the faces of the climbers tell it all.
For many of the climbers, it was not easy. I could see the strain on their faces. Dr Soh Lay Sian and Dr Vasantha both did extremely well. They were the first to arrive in the group of 24 who made the climb at 7-30 am to the peak. They were so determined. Lay Sian arrived first and she was so happy. Dr Vasantha despite an "operated-on" knee also huffed her way to the top.
My Grandson Daniel started crying at Sayat Sayat (some 1,000 feet below the summit) and he continued crying for the next two hours. It is incredible because he cried for 2 hours. Where did the tears come from?? Still he made the summit in fifth place. Manson did well despite his broken spectacles. He was blind as a bat but he battled on gamely. Mandy his sister was quietly determined.
There is hope for the youths of our time. Many of them showed how they were resolute in their commitment and that augers well for the young. The old ones would not lose out too. Aik Jong at 61 was an epitome of health and fitness. He reached the top early. Barbara and Imelda showed what resolve was when they struggled through successfully to reach the top. Kamariah and Maria showed how persistence can be such a positive thing. They almost did not make it but they did not give up.
It is all about not giving up. Yes, my friends - it is about just putting your one foot after the next step. Life is like this. We cannot give up; we should not give up; we must not give up!!
We will get back to all of you after we post the next round of photos. Cho!
