How We first met?
Ronald's e-mail to me in February 2006:Monday, February 27, 2006 11:46 PM Subject: YR CLIMB KK BOOK Anyway, my name is Ronald Goh and is the MD of my company Electronics & Engineering Pte Ltd [www.enepl.com.sg]. I am 62 years old and have wanted to climb KK since I was a young man. I am planning to lead a team of my staff, mostly young people with an adventure spirit at heart and therefore, upon browsing the net, came across your book. |
My Comment:
When I initially received his email, I must admit thinking aloud, "Is he for real? He is even older than my father!" I called on him and found him to serious about his undertaking. One of my queries was "Do you have any medical problem?" He replied, "No. Just got a polio on my left leg since young." Ronald walks with a slight limp.Ronald is a really busy person, often on the move. I think he takes flights like many people take taxis. Just imagine, he was the man behind the setting of the audio system of the iconic Esplanade - theatres on the bay in Singapore which hosts world-class performances for the arts.
Determined and busy as he was, he finally led his team up Mount Kinabalu on the 29 August 2006 and made it to Low's peak at 7 am on the 30 August 2006, just in time to see the sunrise.
Ronald is a very friendly and inspiring person, who holds true to his words. No mountain too high nor age an obstacle for one young at heart. Indeed, someone to learn from.
Climbing Mt Kinabalu...an Awesome Experience
Climbing Mt Kinabalu had been an awesome experience for us. The memories of our struggle up 13,400 feets beyond the clouds has been and still is... alive and an inspiration to us to climb other mountains in our life.
