RLC Harriers Run 830

Hares : Lim Boon Hiong & Anne

Runsite : TTDI Hills from Rumah Bakti

Weather : Intermitten rain which cleared up for a dry circle 

Tuesday afternoon saw horrendous wind sweeping KL and PJ accompanied

by a rain storm. It did not look good for our Tuesday run. But, as

they say, God is a hasher and it cleared up to a manageable drizzle

come 5pm or so. Into this fine mist, we started the run up the tarmac

road into the TTDI hills.

Then the trail veered left into the verdant jungle and we went up and

up until we reached the crest. Then it was down and you guessed it, it

went up again. The hares led by Sifu Lim Boon Hiong had very

imaginatively woven an interesting path, maximising the leafy cover

which minimised the effect of the rain; like as if we had a giant

umbrella.

Checks abound but were quickly broken and soon, we recognised the

homeward path as we ran down the hill on to the tarmac road leading

home. FROP was again Mike Kuan at 60 minutes. Then came the long wait

for the last runners (CheeMooi, Uncle Teh and Auntie Margaret) who

checked in at 8pm, one whole hour after the FROP.

But no time was wasted. The weather was now balmy dry and the

expedition led by Dato Steven Oon had a photo-shoot of their first

training session for an impending assault on Mount Kinabalu. We tucked

heartily into the post-run food galore, mooncake, pomelo, fish cake,

water melon, etc

Then it was time for the Circle, another uproarious affair which not

only honoured the most caring couple on the run (Playboy Choo & Ann,

of course together with a new hasher, Steven Yong & his guest) but

recognised the most neglected spouses (dead-heat between Jennifer

Kuan, Lum Seng Yip & Derek Wong; hereinafter called the "neglectees")

and their spouses (Mike Kuan, Wendy Lum & KitKat; hereinafter called

the "neglectors") who run off on their own, totally neglecting their

spouses.

... and of course, no Circle would be complete without Tarzan and Alka

being brought up so that we can sing the song that begins "A rich girl

rides a limousine ..."

Finally, the beer ran out and we convoyed our way to Uptown for a

delicious meal preceded by Anne's famous chicken legs. A bottle of Jim

Beam was largely untouched as Malaysian are not used to the raw

Kentucky taste of bourbon or whiskey (spelt with an 'e' ) The

12-year-old single malt aka GlenLivet Whisky (no 'e' ) saved the

night.

Surprise, surprise, Tarzan and Alka (they named an effervescent

antacid and pain reliever called Alka Seltzer after her) came and the

hares had made prior arrangement to given them a couple of vegetarian

dishes, curry and toufoo plus fried rice. Welcome, please join us more

often for the On-on-on.

And so the jolly hashers from RLC Harriers made merry into the night

and a good time was had by all.
