AN earthquake in 2015 changed Adrian Chua's life.
Recalling the horrific incident that happened that April in Kathmandu, the founder and creative director of Paper Carpenter told The Business Times in a recent interview: "Life is so fragile. We are just like mosquitoes - a smack and that's it, you're gone."
He was in the Nepalese capital with a friend and they wanted to "do something crazy", so they decided to climb the Himalayas.
