her unwavering support and understanding, there will be no
Everest
for me."
His wife Wee Leng has been his pillar of strength throughout
his years of adventure. She is an adventurer in her own right.

Their little one, Khoo Sheng Feng, born 30 Nov 2003, is now
his biggest motivation to complete an expedition and come
home safely.
