拆礼物的大日子 Run #426 - Venice Hill (Circle)

这次轮到第十组请吃。他们非常大方。食物是满山满海。多到吃不完。可能是圣诞节之顾，人潮较少。整百人左右。

因今天是BoxingDay（拆礼物的大日子），我们也进行了交换礼物的活动。总共有89份礼品。大大小小围着圣诞树，非常壮观。感谢四脚蛇带来的圣诞树。我们以抽签的方式来交换礼物。

阿Chew一班人也捐出了16份礼品给FROP。10份给男子及6份给女生。谢谢！最快的是海龙王52分钟就出来了。

当晚Circle时，大家都玩得很放，很开心。第一次罚酒时有性感的酒杯用。Captain安的姐夫不小心留了水瓶在山中被抓获。结果，安代罚坐冰。Sotong在GM on box时，开private party。结果被GM叫来问罪。GM差点放了他。不知他已经是会员了。没想到Sotong是有备而来的。他有穿两件裤。可爱的是他里面的竟是蜡笔小新。哈！

在我onbox时，阿安和海龙王儿子都翘脚而被抓。海龙王和海草被诛九族。Kuantan Kam上星期带太多新人而不能照顾两位新人而交给包尾的咸鸡。结果被告到面子书Facebook上。因他第一次坐冰，我也特地用交长的时间用多种语言讲解带新人要注意的事项。好让他坐得刻骨铭心。带新人要注意的事项是必须穿爬山鞋和旧衣裤。还得陪他们走完。不然，就通知sweeper帮忙照顾。

因还有很多会员很久没坐冰了不得。我出了一个非常难的问题。今天是第几个RUN？结果，河马，青葱头，Tomato和卖菜婆等都中罚。最后，RelaxSingh，Sunny和OnOn也因忘了checkout而被罚。

GM叫了二五仔点出犯规的人。结果，个个都没完成任务。个个都坐冰。无毛因多事也中招。

轮到619时，因第一次ON BOX.。他马上公报私仇请阿Chew坐冰。因阿Chew每次都跑快过他。他也趁机会请first time guests上来介绍自己。场面一时非常乱但个个都很爽和开心。GM也以此理由罚619。619大呼超爽!下次要轮流交给其他理事上来主持。较新鲜!

发烂渣一上台就马上发烂渣。因大声公和恐龙叫了一声，＂女杀手！＂。他们马上被干了，都被请上来坐冰。此时，Fit Lo打了通电话来。朱肠粉也把电话交给on box的FLZ。结果两人都被GM罚坐冰。

不知不觉，天色已晚了。大家也打府回家。圣诞快乐!

Is Jalan Langat same as ArgoTech? (#424 AgroTech, Hulu Langat)

It was a mess yesterday when we all headed to the "hanging bridge" as usual run site for "Jalan Langat". but found noone at the run site. Our GM again gave all of us another challenge....he set the run site at "Agrotech, Hulu Langat". Technically, he is still right as Agrotech is still considered as located at "Jalan Langat".

I had received many calls for direction and some complaints on "Why was it so difficult to label "AgroTech"?" Come on......Not my fault...I am the victim too. I even drove to "hanging bridge" to confirm that the run site has changed. Then, rushed to seach for the run site along Jalan Langat...till I saw a SH4 sign hanging near the Hulu Langat Batu14 traffic light...then only I had the confident that the run site could be at Agrotech.

LauTan was on boarding at the international sea. Some calls even reached him during his vacation. Nothing that he can do either. By the way, SH4 members may have to re-train on following signboard.

While reaching the run site, there were plenty of cars on the car park. It created some puzzle to us. "Are we at the right place?" Further checking, there was a local function at the resort nearby. To avoid blocking their cars, we managed to park our cars further at another wider land.

ON ON was 10 minutes late as to wait for those who had lost or missed the way to this run site.

The initial journey was along the river and a man made tar road. Then, we started to climb up hill. After 45 minutes, I had managed to "pursue" a few first timers to return as they were not in proper attire. The first hill was manageable but not the 2nd hill. The trail was seems only moving up hill. There were many occasion that we thought that we would reach the peak after a turn. Unfortunately, when we reached the "peak", there was always another PEAK awaiting. It was so depressed and getting so tough to continue the journey. Ah Fah and Chan Sir were stucked at this stage. Five sweepers (Ko Pau Chon, Red Dragon, Buffalo, Ah Kam & me) were with them to support and encourage them.

When we reached the peak (426M as of my watch. 300M high from run site), the feeling was great! Ah Gao already awaiting Ah Fah…such a lovely couple… The scenery from top was fantastic and beautiful. After a few shots, we rushed down as the day is getting dark. We reached run site safely at 7.30pm.

The most special of this run is that ALL SHOES WOULD BE IN WET. Everyone had to crossing a shallow stream on the way out….No way to escape.

Salty Chicken had improved this round as he was not out with sweepers. Even when GM called to check the result, his first check was “How was Salty Chicken?” GM also found that 2nd hill did gave him some challenge. He didn't realise it was so high. Salty Chicken was so happy and started to "bluffing"others.

Suddenly, there was a birthday song from behind. Ball Ball carried a birthday cake with candles slight. Oh! Today is Ng Gee Seng’s birthday. We had some birthday songs for him. He has also received many wishes from SH4 hashers.

Another friendship runs from SH4. ON! ON!

不听老人言,吃亏在眼前. (RUN #423 - 05/12/10 - Venice Hill)

LAUTAN都说了,“今天不行时,别继续前进。下次再试。今天会很长。”偏偏还是有人不听劝告。结果苦了自己也累了大家。这又何苦呢?

Venice Hill的RUNSITE是一个非常有挑战的山。里面山多,河水多,小溪多以及HASH纸多。路程可短也可很长。下雨后的山路也特别烂和湿。不容易行山。

坦白说，这次GM SET的山路特别适合这班“可怕又很快的SH4 runners”。保证他们够喉!不信去问FitLou, SuperOldMan或朱肠粉。当他们感到够喉时也就是新人或慢者的灾难。这次我陪咸鸡就用2小时10分才出得来。

山是不高，最多是150公尺左右。但是, 上山下山就无数次。过河或小溪多到我们都数不清。LAUTAN多通电话告知他们已经过了3条河。听之好像很近出口, 但又好像在很远哦！

两位马六甲的新朋友还是不够了解SH4的走法。第二次来参加SH4。他们是在四脚蛇（SKS）的店相遇。谈着谈着就这样跟随我们入山。可能也是HASHER的原因，对自己比较有信心。SH4的钻石SWEEPER，LAUTAN，从他们进山的速度和状况，多次劝他们必须后退。可惜，他们有眼不识泰山，偏偏还是不听劝告。红龙也给予同样的劝告，但是碰了门钉。一时满肚火。结果，后悔已来不及了。两位新朋友苦了自己，又跌伤又无水又饥饿。

四脚蛇也因内疚（他们是间接由他带来的)而出了一笔酒钱请一班在外等候的SH4 hashers。其实这与SKS无关的。不过,有人付了酒钱,我们是不介意的。口渴时,有酒来解渴是最佳饮料。谢谢SKS. ON!ON!

晚上9pm, LAUTAN告知已看到了FLAT楼而他已头痛了。连血液高的LAUTAN也差点昏倒。我和烧包马上装了一袋的水就穿着拖鞋进山救济。烧包还驾车入山帮忙。原以为他们已到了平地，我们可以拖着拖鞋进山。谁知，一走就是2粒山。15分钟后才见到他们的头灯在对面山。脚上的拖鞋已太湿和充满烂泥了。我们放弃前进。就由高处抛下水给前方的红龙。

从他们下山的速度，我开始担心要多一粒钟才能出山。水一到口,马上喝的清光。可以见得他们是多么的饥渴。其中一位有腰伤的朋友，带伤来行山。（太危险了。下次千万别把命当儿戏！）他也跌了２次,旧病复发而不便以行。一路幸好有SH4的3位sweeper (LauTan, Ben Kok & Red Dragon)又拉又扶又推才能到这里。非常辛苦。还好,sweeper没因不听劝告而有放弃他们。坦白说,SH4的sweeper都非常专业和理智，他们都很好心肠！

一班人休息片刻后就继续前进。半路上,朱肠粉也等不急而进来帮忙。我们在9.45pm才见到烧包的车。这儿离RUNSITE是不到10分钟的路程。

哦！烧包的车灯怎么哪么暗? 糟糕了！我们已在里面超过45分钟了，电箱没电了。只好向外找救兵。由SKS驾他的4WD和DATSUN的jumper wire，加上FitLo，我们几位就地取材把车START了。真是有惊无险!　看到SH4团员的守护相助的精神，心情也舒畅多了。

最后大家互相勉励和安慰后就各自回程。FitLo他们也趁此时赶去吃他们的"龙虾大餐"。这一餐应该会吃的特别有味道了。ON! ON!

最后奉劝大家要听SH4 SWEEPER言,不听SWEEPER言,吃亏在眼前。

WET WILD WET RUN: Run #422 - Vilaraya Industrial Park (CIRCLE)

It was in heavy rain while we were on our way to the run site. Jalan Semenyih was "bumpers to bumpers" as certain sessions of the road were flooded. Small cars were driving very slow and caution as scaring of the water. Along Jalan Kacau, the road was wet.....very wet. LauTan again shared with wiser view..."a sign of clear day soon." The rain stopped as and when we reached the run site... Believe it of not!

Anyway, when we unloading the stuffs, the heavy rain came again. I had some hashers helped to set the canopy. As and when we sheltered under the canopy, the rain stopped.

The crowds have reaching runsite late as of the traffic jam. We had to cancel the "mini circle" and ON ON at 10 min late. Although lesser hashers joined, but it was ~100 hashers participated. Rain started drizzling. Kok Liong (Mr bean), Red Dragin and me have volunteered to be the SWEEPERs.

The entrance route was smooth. All the way up at the left side of the open farm. Noticable of newly planted sapling along the hill slope. The challenge started when we entered into the groves. The crowd somehow widely spreaded on the first hill slope. There were easily 20-30 trails with fresh footprints for the uphill but none of them could be used. All were very smooth, flat, slipperly and bald. Badly damaged by front runners. We had difficulty to find a safe grip to climing up. As part of SWEEPERS role, we had adviced and encouraged some new and young runners to return, not to continue as the trail may not friendly during raining.

It was also a challenge to me. I had fallen and slipped for so many times that I almost wanted to join the returning crowd. When I saw 'YaoDYeah" struggling nearby me, I couldn't help as we were facing the same difficulty. I managed to "conquer" this hill with lot's of cuts and pains.

The following of our journey was consider smooth as we had just overcame the "Challenge of the day". The rest of the trail would be just a piece of cake. Salty Chicken again joined the sweeper team. As a matter for rejoicing, he had managed to climb up the first hill.

We reached the run site before dark. The crowd had already enjoying their dinner from Group 9. This time, we had "Indian Cuisine". As of raining, they even managed to get the shop owner permission to set the food stands inside the shop lot. Quite a diffferent experience and we were all very enjoying with the hot and spicy Indian cuisine. Salty Chicken also bought 5 chicken for SH4 as dessert. We somehow shown the chicken one by one at different time to create the "eating" atmosphere. The salt baked chicken was "pulled and plucked" and gone in flash seconds.

Believe it or not! Rain stopped when we started our CIRCLE. It was a full of funs, laughs and entertainment night. Even it reached 9pm, there was no sign of late from the hashers.

Some hightlights:

* Our "25Chai" or "Spy" were all on ICED as they were either not able to catch a wrong doer or catching the wrong doer themselves instead of letting the "ON BOX" chief to execute his/ her duty.

* Found 2 pairs of kid shoes and father (Road Blur) was on iced.

* 4 "HERO" ,who were so gentlemen to move the canopy to shelter a group of lady hashers. They were on iced as all hashers must be treated with "FAIR" and "EQUAL", no "discrimination" please. In fact, they were "punished" because of our "SPY" had just moved away the canopy and this group moved it back..... "GEY POH CEE"

* First time just realised that "NO HAT or CAP" in hash run. A group of six were on iced...

* Whole "Cheang's family" were all on iced...Ming, DengWoLai, Green Tea, Wah Moi and Wah Zai. Just because Wah Zai was "crossing leg" during the CIRCLE.....ZHU GAO CHUK "诛九族"

* First time, the ice chair were over turned. Ming and DengWoLai were put on iced.

* Mountain goat's family were all on iced too. As mountain goat's brother in-law, brother and sister were all forgotten to CHECK OUT. Both MG and LG had to accompany them and had a "FAMILY ICE".

* FatLot, Mr. Bean and HIPPO were baptised and iced showered by the members for acknowledment and celebarting their new hash name.

* 5 new members joined without any objection.

* Our returning "Ah 8" was again with excellence performance with his Hash Barb role.

* Leaded by FitSo, we had a short charity for "Lovely Disabled Home" by purchasing charity coupons for their "GREEN TREND CARNIVAL" on 18 Dec 10. SH4 managed to collect a pledge of RM1020 (51 books). Thanks you very much, SH4!!

Last but not least, a good night spent with SH4 hashers. Lot's of frinedship, generousity and happy.

ON! ON!
