RLC Harriers Run 864, 5 May 2015

Hares :  Dato Nik Gee & KCWong aka Chi Mui

Runsite : Lake Garden & its vicinity

Weather : Dry

There was a certain kind of foreboding when Bala was mentioned as

KCWong's sole hired hare ... both of them are not exactly noted for

blasting into new virgin jungle or anything out of the ordinary. 

How true!

GM Woon was having some health issue so JM Misai aka Steven pressed

the roti horn to start the run from the quadrangle. Off we went to the

junction and the trail veered right and then into Lake Garden and out

towards Tun Razak memorial and before we knew it, we were in front of

the National Museum and crossing the road. Then it was a long road run

before we came to the four-road junction. We went on to Jalan

Selangor, Jalan Johor and then Jalan Melaka before turing left into

Jalan Bangsar to go back to the Club via the Museum tunnel.

FROP was Peter Leong at 41 minutes, closely followed by our

indefatigable Mike Kuan. Most were in before the hour. It was a 6.2km

road run, not too interesting and full of motorcar exhaust gases.

The Circle started with some controversy. Mismanagement tried to

impose its views on all regarding the issue of beer. In the end, it

was amicably resolved that henceforth, after the barrel is finished,

the Section will make available chilled canned/bottled beer at a

nominal price, something like RM5 to 7 each (to be decided). 

Note : If Tarzan at VeggieHash could offer 3 cans of beers at RM10,

can we do less?

We all adjourned to Bunga Raya where a feast awaited, together with a

bottle of JW Green Label and a bottle of VSOP. Dato Nik Gee, the hare

in charge of the food also presented each Hasher witha fluffy cake ...

yum yum

So a good time was had by all.

Postscript : This is Uncle Yap's own initiative

I think the Section is currently running at a slight loss ... this is

not good. Please permit me to suggest something.

At each run, I consumed from 4 to 5 beers. At the nominal price of

RM7.50 each, I get value of RM30 to 35. The moderate drinker like say

Lee Seng Chuan aka Buffalo Lee with two drinks will have value of

RM15. Multiply that by 4 runs in a month and he gets at least RM60

whereas he only paid RM20 as subscription. Okay, this is balanced by

non-drinkers like Alice, David Wee and Wendy Lum.

So, may I beseech my fellow beer-drinkers like Allen Tan, Thambi Chai,

Playboy Choo, Shit Stirrer, Quiksilver Fox, Steven Khoo, Burns, etc

etc  to volunteer to pay monthly sub of RM40. If there are 20 of us

each contributing an additional RM20 a month, that will be nearly

RM5000 annually to the Section kitty and then we will not be in

deficit.

PP/S Tonight plus the next two nights, Guinness Anchor Berhad is

having a promotion at Batek Bar. After 9.00pm, Tiger is RM4.00 per

shot and Guinness, RM6.00 per shot. Damn good value for money

Please invite me to have a drink or two with you tomorrow and the day

after :-)

RLC Harriers Run 863, 28 April 2015

Hares :  Tan See Meng & Pauline

Runsite : Bukit Hatamas, Kepong

Weather : Raining all the way until during/after Circle 

It was a dark and stormy night

Yes, Lilian, tonight was one of those days when it was miserable, wet

and thoroughly gloomy. 

We gathered at Ah Pak San (old man's hill) and it was raining cats and

dogs. We waited a while but the cats and dogs kept on coming down

6.00 came and GM Woon had no choice but to press his roti-horn to

start the run. Off we went to the right and into a series of jungle

paths. The paths were slippery and soon we came to a check. Playboy

Choo broke it and off we ran through some more jungle path until we

saw daylight. The daylight was at the side of the hill where you could

see the world and where you came from.

Of course, being the lazy scb, I chose to run down, followed by Thomas

Tan and other intelligent hashers whereas the other heroes turned

right up the hill and continued with the long route, together with two

other hash chapters. Alas, the torrential rain had swept away much of

the paper trail and subsequent checks were either missed or not

broken. For those who persevered, it was one mistake after another.

When the FFROP (false front runner on paper) in the shape of CCGoh

came back at 7.08pm, he was quickly followed by Mike Kuan and Peter

Leong.

Tan See Meng, the hare said nobody broke the 2nd and 3rd check; so

everybody who came back did not complete the intended run. Anyway, all

of us had fun, notwithstanding the horrible weather. Never mind the

weather, as long as we're together.

We tucked into the wide spread of snack food, nuggets, chicken

backside, oneh oneh, yam cake, roast duck, etc etc. Then we started

worrying when someone mentioned that the two Joint Masters (CKLeong &

Steven Khoo) were still in the wildiness but life must go on and the

Circle started when the rain let off a wee bit. More charges followed.

In the midst of another ridiculous charge, someone shouted "They are

back!" and we saw the faces of CKLeong and Steven Khoo. Phew! Tan Meng

See, according to Bala, had been spared the duty of going in to rescue

them.

It was then time to announce next week's in-run. Dato Nik Gee was

mentioned as one of the hares and then C.K.Wong. A voice in the crowd

shouted "Dato and Datin's run" We do have some witty comics in this

chapter.

We then partook of the fantastic array of food from fried ikan kembong

to chee-toh tong (non-halal soup) to chicken rice. By this time, we

could see the moon shining brightly on the Hashers. Someone announced

the opening of good Scotch and we made a beeline for that elixir of

life aka Scotch whisky.

We drank and we ate through the night. What a wonderful time we had.
