At the top of the world

A happy news to all Malaysians (hope you view it positively) there because a heroine of this country becomes the first Asian woman to scale both North and South Poles. You can catch her great triumph here at Datin Paduka Sharifah Mazlinda's site.

It is not an easy feat I can tell you because of the highly unpredictable and dangerous icy terrains there. You need a lot of motivation and dedication and you have see it in her as she spent nearly one and a half year training and preparing for North Pole expendition.

In April 2004, she was the first Asian woman to reach the South Pole. It shows that we are made of stern stuff and we will achieve what we want if we set our hearts to the task.
