RLC Harriers Run #885 29 September2015
Run Site : Carpark behind OCBC, Cheras
Hares : Peter Leong & Steven Yong
Weather : Fine weather with a tinge of haze interrupted by downpour
from 6.30 to 7.30pm

By hook or by crook, we followed the faulty instructions to get to the
run-site and only due to the prominence of OCBC facing a main road,
most of us got there in time. Some complained of going round and round
some industrial lots of warehouses and factories while other bemoaned
the absence of signs leading to a new run-site.

We found another chapter (CHHHH) running the same site; however, they
used pieces of paper printed in red while we used recycled paper. At
exactly 6, our ButaButa GM Woon pressed his horn and off we went
across the road and up a hill. The trail meandered up the steep
incline, with gradients of up to 60 degrees at places. The checks were
quite easily broken and then came the junction which pointed right for
a shorter route home.

The more adventurous ones went up straight for an additional loop
before starting the descend, joining the short-route runners on to a
housing estate and then a road run back to site. In the meantime, rain
came pouring down in buckets and most of us were drenched. Somehow,
this was quite welcomed as the rain washed away some of the suspended
particles (collectively called the Haze) and the dirt off our bodies.

For the record, FROP was Quiksilver Fox at 54 minutes 13 seconds
(%$!# erm say yet sang - won't die but grow and prosper) followed by
CCGoh, Tambi Chai, Bugs Bunny while Vivien Hoi was FROP for the
shorter run.

There were fewer than 30 runners. It transpired that many Harriers had
just returned from an overseas trip to Hanoi; hence the absence of
Dato Alen Tan, Dato Steven Oon, Rule Number One among others. But the
hardier hashers like Quiksilver Fox, Thambi Chai and CCGoh came
straight from airport to run-site. Such dedication to hashing was
rewarded by a free glass of beer.

As we gathered for the Circle, the rain tapered to a halt and we
partook of the congenial company, the beer and the finger food.
As usual, the banters, the teasing and the so-called punishment of a
glass of beer contributed to an evening well-spent; after which we
convoyed to a restaurant where we shared some delicious food, washed
down by three bottles of spirits plus many others of wine ...

... and we partied well into the night. C'est la vie

The Beerman always rings once...

The Beermen from Carlsberg are to deliver & serve our draft beer every Tuesday. That is their only job function.

The disposal of garbage is not part their duties but they oblige us in return of a small token (min RM20).

With the Govt ruling of waste separation being enforced, please throw your rubbish in the appropriate garbage bags allotted and not to the Beerman.

If you feel the token is too expensive, hares please clear your own rubbish.

Run 884 Sep 22 is in TTDI (Bangunan Bakti)


RLC Harriers Run #884 22 September2015
Run Site : Rumah BAKTI, TTDI
Hares : Ng Boon Puey & Irene
Weather : Fine weather ; no haze since the return of UY

As we gathered at the familiar spot next to Rumah Bakti, there were
lots of ooh's and aah's between hashers meeting one another again
after another week. Buta Buta GM asked "Where's my horn?" and when he
found it next to his manhood, the run started up the familiar path

Somehow, after the first five runners who stumbled upon the first
check, the rest seemed to know where the trail would continued. On we
went up the hill under the shade of the tropical trees until we came
upon the second check and there we were stuck until our heroine (who
else by Rule #1 aka Wendy Lum) found the connecting paper. 

It was fun running under the shade and then the 3rd check appeared
half-way up a hill. Only Boss and UY bothered to climb up all the way
to the road and there we saw the homeward trail ... lucky bastards eh?
Of course, we were first altho Jennifer expected her husband to
overtake her any time.

FROP was , of course, who else but Quiksilver Fox at a time of 58
minutes followed by the usual gang of CCGoh, Rule #1, KFC aka Tambi
Chai and surprise surprise Dato Allen Tan who has improved so
tremendously that he is now in the first quartile. The rest came in
not so soon afterwards, all with praises for a run well laid.

The Circle was predictably a lot of fun fun fun. Burns won the
inaugural Professor Henry Higgings Award for subjecting his wife, Siti
to a continuous series of duties, fetching him his drinks, his snacks,
etc while he sat on his fat bum. Kiasu Health Freak aka Allen Tan came
prepared with face mask for the run. Alas, the beer soon ran out and
all charges had to be postponed to next week

At the restaurant in Uptown, we all tucked in with voracious appetite
and three bottles of spirits made their appearance. Now, who says that
Hashers are not a spiritual lot? 

We ate and drank and once again I ask people who are reading this and
who were not there tonight, "What the hell are you doing away from our
weekly run?" "Come back, all is forgiven"

Until next week, I really missed our hash during my sojourn in London
(too bloody cold)
