Hare: Francis Chan
Run Site: Kuala Kubu Baru
Scribe: Last year’s GM
Directions: go to Rawang or to Batu caves! Too bad the hare didn’t bother taking everyone the quickest way via Bkt Beruntung and Rasa a few K north to the run site. But then again, I think some people like traffic.
Park opposite a bus stop alongside the old Ipoh road!!
And… Rambo is Co-Hare!!!
Already this is sounding like a bad idea. What the He!!, we are hashers. We’ll do just about anything to get our already paid for beer at the end of a run.
As the GM is frolicking abroad, the JM’s had responsibility to start things off. Well, we already knew Tommy was going to pass the buck, so Sen was stuck with duties for the day. Unfortunately, Sen followed the Hares directions and was late along with Ramli and others. No worries, the faithful ex-GM was there to flag things off (course he had to write the scribe report anyway!)
Nick Bloy, new daddy of a baby girl was first up the hill to the first check. All hell broke loose after that. Admittedly by the hares, the trails were very close. Many ran backwards on paper to catch paper from the second check in the wrong direction. After 15 minutes with people going in all directions (and many returning home at that point to eat mangosteens!) we finally got on the right track to the third check. Luckily by that time, some of the mid-packers had already found two falsies and yours truly broke that check. Heading up and up, then down and down to find the paper run out and Gary Murrell with a handful of paper in his hand. On-Sec of Mother should know better than to pick up the whole check. Some need to stay there in case it is tougher to solve than imagined.
Again, it took the pack a long time to break the check, finally about half way around the circular and up, up up to another check… and up up up and up up up. Never ending climb, almost. I measured 320meters or about 1,000 feet of climbing. To give the hares credit, it was a great view. 360 degree view of the Genting foothills, Klang valley, I think I even saw Songkla! Luckily the clouds were still a few feet above our heads at that point.
Finally crossing over the top, we see an access road. Now I know the hares drove up the hill and set the paper going in reverse… Bastards!!! Rambo denied it, but we know better!
Good thing about going up all the time, some time we have to go down. And we did for the rest of the run. Through 3 more checks and back to the run site in about 1:30. Just in time for the Mangostein (Jewish version) sellers to bring their truckloads of fruit into the circle courtesy of Saru.
At that point, the hare actually asked if he had to go to the ON ON. He had never been before… YOU OUGHT TO BE PUBLICLY PISSED ON!!!
Designated whips were Roger and Joel. Joel was forced to go home early without dinner, so yours truly carried out his charges. Mostly about breasts, sex and fierce gay boys ending just as the rain began to fall.
Rambo announced the ON ON somewhere in Serendah. At least he didn’t use the big Sony sign as a landmark!
Apologies for not making the ON ON or Triple on. I understand a T-Shirt was awarded and justly so. Despite my bitching (I couldn’t be an ex-GM without bitching!), a very good run. Thanks a lot guys! ON ON.
