SINGAPORE – Before they could even walk, Emma Koh and Giselle Lee were already best friends.
Born a month apart, the two girls had virtually grown up together as their fathers, Lawrence Koh, 49, and Kelvin Lee, 44, were close mates since 2001 while studying at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.
Now 10, Emma and Giselle are not just inseparable pals, but they are also teammates in indoor skydiving.
