RLC Harriers Run 817 Hares : Michael Kuan & Boss Runsite : Pantai Hill Park, Bangsar Selatan Weather : Gorgeous dry weather after the torrential rain in the morning
When the hashers gathered rather early for the run, they were told an ominous piece of information - two runs, one long and one short, set/mastermind by Mother Hashers. Others admired the new four-wheeled vehicle of Tambi Chai whose all-terrain wheels alone cost more than 10K. The blue jungle basher stood handsomely new.
The trail started off behind the fence on top of the hill and down we went a steep slope, only to have to climb up another steep slope. This process was repeated three times and then we saw the sign pointing long runners to yet another 3 or 4 hills while the short runners soon saw, in the skyline, the condo building in progress and home to an early shower. FROP 45 minutes by Tim Moey, followed by Uncle Yap two minutes later.
In the meantime, the masochist hashers went off merrily through all the seven hills of Romes, including the infamous Telekoms Tower and Indian Temple (remember some hashers like May Chang & Raymond literally crawling up that slope some years ago and soon after, gave up hashing altogether?) The front runners were toying with whom to make the FROP, won finally by Playboy Choo in 80 minutes after some devious manoeuvring by Arthur Hoi and Lilian Wee.
The long runner trickled in one by one until Tommy Chin, the JM who started off the run was the only one missing. Many anxious minutes later, he came back on a RM10 motor-bike ride. Apparently, he had strayed off into the wilds of Pantai Dalam.
The Circle was another hilarious affair with charges and counter-charges. Bala was called up for making a sexist remark "Jenny, your nuts are delicious" after being given some groundnuts by that generous banana lady who also supplied nasi lemak to complement the roast duck by Wong Fook Loy and the usual fish cake and oink-oink ear.
Dinner was at a Chinese restaurant in Padang Merbok ... that site now cleared for development but still awaiting approval before any construction. Hokkien mee with chee-yow-char and watt tan yinyong kway-teow beehoon fed the hungry multitude, followed by other dishes washed down with Glen Morangie, Guinness Stout, wine and other drinks.
The four tables had a jolly good time and wished more could be here.
