A RUN TOO FUN AT DESA PARK CITY

Remember DV8, SAQs, Voodoo, Phase, Base 2, Boom Boom room during teens? Those were the days when we can just droppedby or hop on any clubs and whichever clubs that we stoppedby, there will be dozens of homeboys waiting without the need for a plan to meet. Similarly, although I have never heard of the Desa Park City Run but hopping on the race rejoiced a whole fleet of COBC bootcampers. At Dataran Merdeka, Staff Sarge Dann and other COBC instructors spotted another fleet of COBC bootcampers at the Nike run. Running is now a trend akin of those clubbing days. In a convoy of two cars, Nawal Aini Zulkifli, Rose Emini Pahamin, Nyna Mohsen arrived 15 minutes before the 7:10am flag-off at the Desa Park City which was less than 5km away from our house.

The tress and greens surrounding the modern township architecture was very impressive and prominent that I regretted leaving behing my G11 Cannon. Camwhoring with the scenic would have been orgasmic. Desa Park City Run 2011 was held at the International School Park City, Desa Park City, Kuala Lumpur on 27 November 2011. The organizer capped the maximum number of runners per category with only 1,500 maximum runners for 10km category, another 1,500 for the 5km run, 500 runners for child below 13 years old for 2km run and another 500 runners for children above 9 years old for 500 meters run.

The race began at 7:10am for the 10km, the category which I was running. After the flag-off, I cruised slowly while admiring the beautiful landscaping and architecture and shortly later, I hear a voice..... "Bro..."... and it was Joe Liew, pacing at least the speed of 13 on treadmill. The whole bunch of past and present COBC teammates were spotted running the DPC. There were Chun Chia Kai, John Chuah, Jeremy Liew, Noor A. Othman, Joannita Zaleha Yusof, James Fong, Chan Meng Yam, Fred Liu, Fatintafrina Mohd Tareh, Lilian Lee, Shear Ling Toh, John Ong, Jeffery Wong, Viki Lim, Pooi Ching Khiew, Nyna Mohsen, Rose Emini Pahamin, Jun King, Freda Liu, Nizz Mc Neez and others. The route were very hilly and at one juncture, I was running uphill with John Chuah when we saw James Fong across the road some 20 minutes behind us and I quickly whispered to John Chuah.. Now that James saw us, dont be surprise if he sprint and suddenly appeared behind us being so kiasu, barely 5 minutes later....James Fong was bragging behind us.

While running, we spotted many other COBC bootcampers. The following photos were compliments from Tey Eng Tiong.
