Besides having to thank God for the safety of all 32 people, gratitude should also be expressed to each and every single person. It is true that nothing is possible without you guys. Should one had faltered, we would all probably give up.

CALVIN, SHIHAN, DENISE, JOSIAH, RACHEL, WYEMIN, KAILI, FAIZAH, CHIAWEEI, WANPING, ALEX, JOLENE, DARRYL, JIAQIAN, SUFIYAN, JACLYN, YONGSHENG, SYAZANA, ARKAR, IVIE, LOUISE, BENFOO, DHILSHAD, NAZRI, BENBLACK, MATT, FANNY, SIEWHWEE, JASON, YANNI, ZHANLIANG!!!

Yes, special thanks to ZhanLiang. Because of your hydration pack I didn't die from dehydration, because of your imba soccer boots, I didn't slip from the slippery mud, because of your hands I always get a lift so I'm not so tired, because of your encouragement on the way down, I didn't give in to fatigue. Thank you imba monk. I'm now convinced meditation helps in cultivating a strong mentality :D

With thanks, apologies also always seems to come hand in hand with it. Again, I've to apologise to my dear climbing partner for having to keep shouting your name to check if you are behind and to ask you to catch up. Also for one part I shouted so loudly to ask you not to stop just before the rest point. I swear I was filled with guilt after that. Really sorry partner!

Lastly, I also have to apologise to Jaclyn. Fellow HuiYi! I hope you are reading this and from the bottom of my heart, I apologise to you many many. There was this part of the descend where after reflections, I felt I was pushing you too hard. I'm really apologetic for being so harsh and not putting your condition into consideration. Sorry Jaclyn, and many praises for you too for staying strong till ground zero :)

A man grows from admitting his or her mistake and learning from them. I'm glad to say I've learnt myself better and am ready to change for the better for the people around me. My 330 bucks is absolutely worth it. Spaces for improvements are aplenty for us to discover. To be a better man, cheers to all.

With much love,
CHEONG. ( the thing you all did after river crossing :D )
