Malaysian hiker goes to great heights in Everest before 40th birthday

In life we go through many different phases, and at each of these phases I believe we are a different person. “Different” because our accumulated life experiences continuously shape us and drive the decisions and choices we make in life.

Up until a few years back, I took my health for granted and lived a life devoid of proper exercise, and was fuelled by a diet of instant coffee and fast food. Significant events marked a turn, and to commemorate one year of my lifestyle change, I decided that before my 40th birthday I would mark this phase of my life. I would step out of my comfort zone and do something personally remarkable, which will be etched as an achievement and personal milestone.
