The run started with us hurtling via Cheras highway weaving through the traffics like a true Malaysian driver passing Peter Brooke, who not only was he with a Chu look-a-like but was dialing up someone’s number on his handphone while driving at 120kph at the same time.
Then it was a slow crawl through the narrow side road leading to the old Seremban road. Everybody, surprisingly even the Chinese, stayed faithfully in line while crawling along at 2kph then, surprised surprised, Peter Brooke appears out of one of the side lanes bulldozed his way back in the queue to emerged 5 cars ahead of us. Before that he was 5 cars behind us. Chu must have trained him really well on how to be a true Malaysian.
The next trick was the hash signed. Some ignored the sign pointing right at the curve in the middle of Broga town and went straight towards the temple. Now without prior warning of changed of run site, which one would you follow, hash newsletter or hash signs (without the “P” before the HHH) so no indication which chapter put the sign up? It provide for a lively debate for the evening. Knowing the collective IQ of the whole Petaling Chapter to be 200 it was not surprising that almost half the pack ignore the sign and follow the direction in the newsletter.
Arrived half an hour late so decided to do a mini shortcut to catch up with the pack and be at least in a position to report the run and stumbled upon the hares laying the home trail. So it was on the home trail but going in the opposite direction we come upon Fuehrer Wolfgang doing a leisure walk admiring the local vegetable garden that was dotted along the path.
Heard the pack off to the right so headed in that direction on hard top and joined them at the bottom of a hill which, from comments at the beer wagon, was climbed twice during the run. Over the hill and down rubber terraces on to some nice running tracks which brought us back through the gardens and on to the home trail.
Uncle Looi caused some speculation when seen accompanying a young lady from Sweden?? and discussing seamen (variety not determined) for which he got an on down as were the hares for changing the runsite without notice. On On at the Kajang prison for the gwailo favorites of sweet and sour fish, lemon chicken and yam basket. Overall the run was judged a T-shirt.
