Run #441 - Jalan Kacau (Near Temple)

This should be the 3th time that SH4 run at this run site but it is my FIRST time to this run site. A farming land surrounded by hills in half circle. A temple located at the halfway of the high hill. The view was great and beautiful. A wide parking area where we should consider having our CIRCLE here one day.

The location is quite deep inside from the main road. (follow the Ostrich Farm signboard). About 5 KM distance. This is not easy to reach the run site for first timer. Many junctions along the road with very less signboards. Some hashers were late as very difficult to find the run site. One even told me that he had almost given-up as he had mad ea few wrong turns and almost lost. But, with the high hashing spirit, nothing is impossible.

We entered via left handside of the temple. Quite a steep slope on the 1st hill. Then we reached a place for the 4WD jeeps challenge. Very interesting to see how they drove their 4WD in such a badly damaged road/ mud here. We walked along the 4WD road. The most dangerous and exiting part was to cross a small river via a fallen log. Surprisingly, noone had dropped into the river. ON ON!

The journey seems very long to me. I had lost count on number of hills conquered. I ony recalled that we had crossed many streams/ rivers. As warned by them earlier that this is "LEECH Heaven" place, I had to run with extra-careful when crosing the streams. Luckily, no blood donation this time. As raining earlier and the trail is NEW and VIRGIN, it was quite slipperly. I fell a few times and made some cuts. As of the tireness and concentration on finding safe steps for moving forward, I had no feeling on all these pains.

The day seems turned into DARK very quick. We had to use our headlight quite early. As a few new hashers had no light, we shared the light for our journey. It had slowed us down. Besides,  this is my 1st time here, I had no idea where am I and not even able to sense we were getting far or closer to our run site. In the dark, I couldn't recognised our spot from the light or hill shape from far away. We continued our journey without any words. Full of concenration on the challenges like walking along the side of deep slope or moving down a steep slope with unknown depth. I had to slide down at certain spots as the trail had badly damaged by front runners. Not their fault as this is new trail.

We reached runsite at 8:10pm. Another >3 hours run with whole body covered by dirt and mud, from head to foot. No wonder less and lesser hashers want to be SWEEPER. This role is getting tougher and challenging. GM! please do consider for sweeper. Set a better trail especially at the end of the run. It is very dangerous and difficult when we had to climb down a steep slope in DARK.

Btw, it was a great trail. Take the run site as Center point, we had run along 270degree in CIRCLE. Just like if our entry point is WEST, our last spot out of jungle is at SOUTHEAST. Indeed, we had travelling very very long distance by viewing the top hills in front of you at run site.

It was great when reached the runsite with 100-plus and watermalon served by our friends. Great SH4 hashing spirit and friendship. When the cold fluid flowed into my mouth, all frustration and unhappiness had just gone and digested in my stomach.

Another great hours spent in SH4 hashing! ON ON!

Run #440 Broga

今天有点反常,有点“衰”。下午无端端踢到床脚。脚指甲割到流血。驾车到RUNSITE，车子又在烂泥中滑轮。下车帮LAUTAN推。推是不用推,LAUTAN技术一流。但是,车后的我却被喷射了一身泥。等我用了一大瓶的矿泉水洗后才只不远处有河流。缺水上山。 咳!

今天是由鱼塘处聚合。一路往左边上山。由右边的青草芭处出山。一路上都很新很原始。一时兴起，鼓励了一位新人和SureWin。哪里知,一爬就是530公尺。搞到新人差点昏到。幸好,红龙即时为他放药。我也从高处迅速下来帮忙。不动声色的为他推拿。没有吓到他。他也能自己摆动双手帮忙血液循环。他很合作所以能很快的复原了。接下来,我们慢慢指导他继续前进。

SUREWIN满脸通红。晕是不会啦！不过,上山就较吃力。他也多次许躺倒再地上。差不多放弃了。有志者，事必成。他也终于完成任务。

半山客原本也想跟另一班新人半途U-TURN。在互相勉励下,我们继续前进！

到达山顶已是差不多是6:45PM了,接下来的路程都是新路。很快就天黑了。大家在黑暗中摸黑下山。斜坡很多。山石也多。不容易下。如下雨的话,不用走了。就一路滑着下。

到达RUNSITE已是8:15pm。一班HASHERS已亮灯围成一团等我们归队。有惊无险的都平安出来了。一番勉励后就各自回家。ON！ON！

在九月或十月,SH4将举行年度会员大会。同时应该会有RUN, DINNER & DANCE的九周年纪念。到时又有得欢聚一堂，又行山又吃又喝又玩又跳。无欢不散!

目前为此已收到~RM19,300的认捐（14人)。这将是一场有素质，有价值,和非常有意义的庆祝会。希望大家一起合作,做得最好。ON！ON！

Run #438 Free Dining from group 2

Mar-11's circle was organosed by Group 2 for big run and big dining.  Their kindliness and generosity is well known in SH4. Again, plenty of foods, drink and nice run on 20/03/11.

The turn-up was great! As of Soda, it was about 150++. (In actual, quite a number of them not sign-in) She had a concern of excessive foods prepared. Group 2 had prepared buffet for 185 pax for this CIRCLE. In addition, 15 roasted ducks; 10 crates (bottle) of beers from SH4, plus another 8 cartons of beers as stand-by. 619 as usual bring along the "Jln Kacau's home made Todi". HoiLongWong cooked a big pot of porridge. SanXin Cheong cooked a pot of spicy chicken claw. For my understanding, all foods and drinks were GONE....clear and clean!! Well done, hashers!

Once again, thanks to Group 2 for their big spending to make this a wonderful CIRCLE!

The day was with dark cloud before the run. But, no rain. 3 first time guests joined. They were all managed to complete their run and they seems enjoyed the run from what I could see form thier faces. I have warned them that this is a "Kindergarden" level. They need another 1 hour for the normal run. Anyway, looking forward for their return and joining this big SH4 family in near future.

FROP reached run site in < 1hr. It seems a check almost turning into Circular Check. (Hey! why SH4 had so many similar occasion? The FROP must be running too fast and too far for seaching the check.) All returning peacefully and the makan-makan was started early to compensate the big crowd.

Sweepers returned at 6.44pm. The rain came together with them. It was a drizzling and we just enjoyed the foods and drinks under the fine rain. Mr. I brought along some firecrackers for kids to play.

Circle started at 7.30pm. First hasher on-ice was Mr. I as he was naked. (No respect to circle.) Good catch by GM. Followed by a thank you to our generous hares (Group 2). Then, GM informed and thanks MKH4 for their invitation on their CNY run. (Hey! CNY was long gone ...it is almost QingMing. Ha!) GM also reminded us on CH4's dinner and dance.

During my on-box time, as usual, normal routine on "CHECK IN & CHECK OUT". This time, Guests were all followed the rules. Thanks for their understanding and support. However, WoonShu and FunTong were among the FROP that forgotten to check-out. (Hey! SH4's rule is very STRICT especially during CIRCLE). As I had printed our SH4 Hash Songs on the March-11 Newsletter, I did a test on their singing capability on our SH4 songs. Unfortunately, the testing was failed as many of them struggling to read and sing even I had an OPEN BOOK for them. More works needed in this area.

JM, Fit Lo On-box. He welcomed our First time guest, Alvin Shua. Shua is pronouned as Chai in Mandarin. Somehow he explained that his sirname was "无人姓". FitLo called upon the real "无人性" BigMouthMonkey to interrogate him. It was a great fun on the cross-examination process. Luckily, Alvin was co-operative. Or else, they might throw him into the jungle (not from 14th floors).

JMrs, FLZ on-box. As Fit-Lo forgoten to past the box to GM. She has FitLo on-iced. She then invited our "25gays @ spy" to pointed out any hasher who had broken the Hash rules. Unfortunately, they were failed again. Some of them smartly pointed on those who have gone home. FLZ was so nice and let them go. Next on iced were our lovely couple, Mountain Goat & Lady Goat, as of their lovely daughter was not wearing Hash shirt during Circle.

Half way on circle, the rain satrted fouring. We had to stop our Circle at 8.30pm. The night still early, the floor had passed over to our Mid-night GM for their continuous Circle or drinking hours.

Another happy day with SH4. ON! ON!

Run #437 @ Sg. Jelok <> 13/03/11

A stubborn, narrow-minded and intolerant "landlord??" called police to stop our SET RUN team to have our run at Sg. Jelok on 13/3/11. Such a selffiish bustard and egotistic fat chap....... Forgive the poor fat chap!

Luckily, the SH4 hash team's siprit is not looking for problem, causing problem and having problem. They moved peacefully to another location not far away from this runsite. (Followed the advice from the police, "They were practising shooting...it is very dangerous around that area." "Ya, with this group of egotistic chap, the gun shot may aim at our direction..." Don't play a fool with them....better we moved." Forgive the poor egotistic chaps.....)

As of last min. change, this run site is too small for SH4. We had ~60 cars on that day. Thanks to RedDragon and gang who had directed everyone to park their cars perfectly. They managed to squeeze in all cars in that narrow roads and farm. A narrow place that I thought could have fully parked. They could still squeezed in another 10++. My jaw dropped! Whenever I saw a car approached, my heart dropped. But, they had not made me dissapointed.  Big hands to RedDragon and gangs!!!

We entered from left hill. Immediately reached a huge reclamed land. Most trees were gone and re-planted with new seedling. As of already ran for 21KM in the early morning @Bareno Run at Bukit Jalil, I had no plan to complete the run today. But, when looking at the crowd at the down hill, they were so small and with such a deep valley, I don't think after going down, I still had energy to clim up. I changed my plan and followed the crowd. JUST DO IT! Poor guy with both souring legs!!

The view was GREAT! I could have bring along my camera for capturing this natural surroundings and fine scenery. Hopefully, SKS could have taken some beautiful shots.

After this "bald" land, we walked through the woods. After crossing a stream, eh? some familiar landmarks in front...Hurray! Our usual returning trail. At the same time, 619 already with the crowd decided to take this short cut back. Enough for today....Salty Chicken and me made our "right" choice by joining the crowd. The running group who had followed the trail would have another 2 hills to challenge. Good spirit for those who had continue their run. BIG HANDS!

We made a bigh round trip back to our run site...passing by the "STUBBORN" place.....We reached the run site  at about 6.30pm.

SureWin somehow left his key inside the car and it got auto-locked. They found a small air vent at the back of his jeep. Even with the skinny and long hand of Sun Xin Cheong, still couldn't reach the lock. We had tried many ways still coulldn't pull up the lock. Then suddenly, SureWin shouted, "DONE!"....He had damaged the key hole and opened the door. A small damage and cost for him. They went home early.

We continued "bluffing" and "Talking Cock" with beers on hands and awaiting the return of the group. At about 7.30pm, sweepers and the group returned safely before the dark.

Another good run from SH4. ON! ON!

Run # 436 - Sg. Long

GM的车的确放得太里面，搞到几位“大头虾”到了RUNSITE都搞不清楚。结果在双溪龙镇兜圈子。我也是其中之一。

前几天CH4也是在这里RUN。他们好像跑的特别远也特别高。好像很晚才出来。结果个个有恐惧心理，担心GM会SET得更"劲"！眼见参加者人数众多，又有多位新人；连老蛋都要大家唸，“阿弥陀佛，AMEN 和Asalamalaikum。”求各佛各主各保佑！好像有效喔！

才刚进入树林，GM一通电话给老蛋说他们SETRUN的还在山林的最后一粒山。好像找不到出口。SWEEPER们连忙左诱右骗又加恐吓后面的RUNNER今天不适合走完。到了第二粒山才完全封锁。已是一个小时了。没有手电筒的一律不让前进。

一共走了五粒山。一贯GM的作风。一上就到顶,一下就见底。见峰才下,见谷才上。粒粒都有130-200公尺高。最后两粒就较挑战；又高又斜。个个叫苦连天。不过,SH4的HASHER的确是不有料到的。一样一粒一粒吃着出去。

爬了五粒山还不够。出来时是长长如万里的柏油路在静悄悄的等候大家的光临。又是另一个挑战。大约有2-3公里路程。望向远处的风景，凉风阵阵。回程有如此佳景，不枉此行。

SWEEPER出来时也只是7.30PM左右。咸鸡再次殿后。不过,他好像比一位受伤者还快出来。一时春风得意。连SuperOldMan讲他会9.30PM才能出来，也给他"炸"了一顿。不过,大家都很满意这次的RUN。此时此刻，又是大话连天，口出狂言，吹牛又吹水的时候。何乐而不为! 那么爽的运动,还等什么呢?

感谢我们一班尽责尽力的“开荒者”，set run team!
