TP HHH RUN No. 1574 (21-09-2009)

THREE EARS’ BIRTHDAY BASH

The run-site was at the Kulai Foon Yew car-park and despite the Raya holidays many turned up; there were a number of Hazardians who came to support their Grand Hazard and there were also a few from GP as the run-site is within their domain. The pre-run takraw game was ably helmed by a passing jogger who proved to be very adept in his native pastime until the bad kickers frustrated him away.

THREE EARS and his co-hare AJINOMOTO admonished us to adhere strictly to our branded paper and the yellow strips as there is a profusion of other brands within. The Hare beckoned us to start straight down the tarmac but yet nincompoops like Ikan Hantu and Watermelon ran onto the home reds! Instead of the usual beginning by the mill, the in-trail took the path parallel to the water-tower area where we used to run before; this was a new twist to an old tale. The First Check was easily broken by Kong Cake of GP; in fact for that matter all the four checks were a piece of (Kong) Cake! Along the semi-tarred track the paper brought us to the deep interior of the palm estate and veered 11 o’clock to cross a small stream. Check No. 2 shortly thereafter was on a straight road and there being not much options, the connection was easily linked by Wide Kunt. Paper then made the inevitable crossing of the tunnel near the fencing; to the left was the road to the mill, but the paper-followers went on for another two more checks on yonder side. Who broke these two checks confounded the scribe as the FROPs were too speedy. One, I was told, was broken by Bamboo Snake and the other by MC. Whatever or whoever doesn’t matter because the hubbub of the highway traffic provided a clear indication for us to zero in on the home trail. Indeed after a sturdy romp over two small hills the paper came to the highway fencing and crossed the other tunnel that led to the oil-mill and home was just a click away. The first home expectedly was the Speedy Serpent and the last was late-starter Jag. It was a commendable run of about 10 km and the terrain was a bit varied tough not new.

CIRCLE was presided over by JM Handsome as the GM has gone to Putrajaya for PM’s open- house; the Bouncer Lap Cheong fired the first shot at the acting (just testing!). After some brief announcements, the Hares placed their fat bottoms on the ice and the circus show began. Slip Soul from the Hazards being a first timer in TP sat for the round of handshakes and immediately proclaimed his intention to join us every Monday! The Batu Api did a very short job catching only a handful; the false starters, the Yong Tau-foo con job and the glutton who was conned, the idiots who tussled over a packet of kuah-chee and the mask vendor and buyer were all duly iced for their capers. The Mystery Whip Bangla only netted two unwitting bastards who were unfortunate to walk with him! The floor was rather subdued and the acting has to arbitrarily appoint floor-takers! IFoksoon gave an Academy Award-winning performance of a Thai song and a Hindi frolicking jig complete with floor-rolling!

Circle was over early and we re-assembled at De Fortune for the grand banquet; there was indeed much merriment coupled with good food and cold beer! The Hare declared the do FOC and Paikia was on hand to give him the original one-liner Birthday song. Thanks and Many Happy Returns!
