RLC Harriers Run 833, 30 September 2014 (revised) Hares : Wendy & Lum Seng Yip Runsite : Bukit Kiara Condo Complex Weather : Dry most of the time altho' there was threat of rain This run site at Bukit Kiara has been used by us over many years and each year, we see further development until one day, there will be no more jungle for us to run in; such is the rapacious appetite for a space in the air. The place now resembles either Singapore or Hong Kong and the only view the middle towers have is yet more towers. Tommy Chin produced some excitement when he brought a box full of lime and lemon from his farm. Thank you Tommy. The hares live nearby so when we were asked to run into a dead end (locked gate) we became apprehensive ... fortunately Uncle Yap managed to open the gate and off we went through the undulating land across the pylons. Then we came a cropper ... a check but no way out. Fortunately, the principal hare (Wendy Lum, who else?) came and showed us the way. This must be the first time in Hash history that a hare has unchecked her own check. We ran up and up and up until no more; then down and we were at the foot of something ... nothing to do but continue to run up. Then we ran down a rather steep hill and we came to a point where there was a sign "right for normal and left for short run" Of course, I ran to the left with Boss hot on my heels. When I clocked in at 52 minutes, Lum Kor told me "Sorry, Uncle Yap, you are not the first. That honour belongs to Vivian Hoi & Hoi Chee Hoi" (of course, they got on-downed later for denying me this rare chance to be FROP) We came down and awaited the other runners .. Mike Kuan was first in at 7.10pm, followed by a string of runners. This idea of having two runs should be practised more. Our chapter has too wide a range of running abilities (Just compare Mike Kuan with Uncle Teh or Wendy Lum with Irene Ng). Often we see the pro's come back unsatisfied; and they do extra laps round the run-site. So for my next run, I will also follow this good practice of two runs and I hope others will, too. The circle that followed was a tad dicey with the rain threatening to pour down any minute. In the event, it was just the weather god having a pee. "Colonel" Kumar, our chairman was on-downed for fooling the Malaysian Immigration Department into letting him get in and out of Thailand (Who needs you, Prima, the custodian of passport?) Our Dr Yap and Cecilia were on-downed for holding hands romantically during part of the run and Mike Kuan for wearing a t-shirt that has our chapter's name as RLC Hash ... officially, it is RLC Harriers and of course many hashers with small bladders were punished for urinating in public (do we call them conspicuous peers?) Dinner was at Chez Steven, one of Bangsar's better eateries. Wine and beer and whisky followed and we all had a good time ... now where were Dato Allen Tan, Woon and Jenny? You missed out on an excellent run and a good meal.
