We assembled outside the Petaling Jaya Magistrates Court – we were charged with loitering with intent and asked for 300 other charges to be taken into consideration. As a punishment we were given LRT tickets and told to go by train to Kelana Jaya and find our own way home.
Sao off we jolly well went to much amusement of the other passengers – we almost roped in two old ladies to join us on the run, when they saw the young studs of this hash (Peter Brooke and Richard Moss).
We piled out of the train at Kelana Jaya noted that we had dwindled in numbers as some members mistakenly (or was it on purpose?) got off at the wrong station. At last we spotted paper leading into someone’s back garden. After being shooed off by a very irate Indian gentleman having a surreptious cigarette in the privacy of his outdoor toilet, we headed cross-country wise through various housing estates, past the writer’s work place (Narrowly missing being spotted by his boss) and coming to a re-grouping point. Here we formed and “orderly” rabble and called on the celebrity of the day namely a certain Ahmed Rosely alias Fuckarwee.He was dressed in his finest hash gear and all set to go to his wedding party. He was given a rousing rendition of “I want to break free” by Queen, sung deplorably by the assembled hashers.Many thanks to the hospitality afforded us by the Rosely Household.
We then ambled off in the general direction of Petaling Jaya – getting particularly confused in the park by Taman Aman – I think it was a circulart check but I never saw the check paper only the pack coming towards me, looking at me as if I was a mad man! We then headed towards Taman Paramount where a number of hashers hopped on a train and traveled 2 stops back to the run site. By this time, already tired front runners, led by youthful Charles Lee, ran through Section 14 (Behind Cold Storage) and over the Federal Highway, back to the run site.
The On-ON was held at the Waikiki Bar in the Sybus Club just a short walk away.
CONCLUSION – A long “runners” run with checks that we were not able to join paper )as we were running on flour and chalk), cleverly set with many twistsand turns.Thanks to the hares for their ingenuity and especially for the bright “Merdeka Day” T-shirts
