A re-union run (Run #427 - 02/01/11 - Sg. Long 2)

First run for 2011. Happy New Year 2011!

11 cars had joined GM for setting the run. Mr I (Ah Li) returned after missing for months. Many joined for this new year run. No first time guest this time maybe due to SH4 run is getting tough and tougher.

First check already gave everyone a very long walk. The check was too far away. (Proper distance shall be 75M to 150M) The search distant could have easily reached 500M. Anyway, we managed to found the check at the "Indo" Kampong. After cutting though a tick jungle, we headed to a "highway". We saw Happy Hash papers along the trail. Most likely, we were running in the same run site today. Extra precaution would required to avoid confusion.

On 2nd check, some hiccup has occurred. 619 ran down and told me could be another "wrong" check. We walked down to find the check. But then, we heard "ON ON" from top. 619 ran back up hill. Then, we meet some HAPPY HASH old friends. We greeted among us, a feel of re-union today. Kuan Gong meet me and told me someone has removed his checks papers. He came in to assisting his group for the correct trail. We greeted each other and continue our own runs.

Then, I heard lots of noises from downhill. Must be someone arguing for the missing papers. By the way, no one knows who has taken the papers. However, someone suspecting SH4 hares taken their papers. To me, this is very sensitive. You can't blindly claim anyone without proof. You can't make assumption and made unnecessary noises. (I even heard one of our FROP stated saw their hasher carry a plastic of hash papers same as what has explained by GUAN KONG.)

Luckily, we were all in good hash spirit. All had handled this minor conflict peacefully. I told JNJ that I will carry the same message to SH4 but didn't mean SH4 hashers taken their hash papers. He did agree with me this is a small matter and we gave each other a hand shake and New Year greeting. (YES, no one shall remove other chapter hash papers during their run especially when 2 groups were running at the same run site.)

Unfortunately, someone kept "barking' non-stop. It had irritated most of us. He even asked SH4 for "GAO DOI" "交代". 619 and Salty Chicken asked everyone to bring along their plastic bag "胶袋" next week. This is the only "GAO DOI" that we can give him.

Hash Run is a healthy exercise not a gangsterism. HASHING is for NO RUNNING PROBLEM, NO DRINKING PROBLEM, NO CAUSING PROBLEM and RUN FOR GOOD HEALTH and PEACE.

While looking for 2nd check, we saw our FROP ran approaching us. We were in trouble now. We were in circular run with looping in the jungle. After some checking, we decided to cancel this run and reverse. Before that, since we had EVERYONE together. We had SKS helped to take some group photos. It was so great and first time we had SH4 Group photo in the jungle. Then, we were all happily returned. YaoDYeah claimed we were like a “re-union” for SH4.

Upon on checking, the fault could be due to FROP but the Hare’s tricky checks also contributed the mistake. Anyway, NO RUNNING PROBLEM and we took this as a lesson learnt. For these 2 incidents, there were long chats at run site. GM told us that we had missed this challenging run. He had set 6 difficult hills for us as New Year gift. What a waste but I feel lucky as I had no headlight today. Let’s do it next time?

Happy New Year 2011! ON ON!
