Rehashed run 1820 - Michelle Neo

Rehashed Run No: 1820; Hare: Michelle Neo; Date: 17th November 2009; Venue: Durian Tunggal.

An Enjoyable Medium Run

Michelle Neo is a jovial hasher who has been with MH3 for the last few years. In spite of her busy work schedule, she always tried her best to find time to attend the weekly run.

Come last Tuesday, it was her turn as hare on rotation. In spite of the wet day, it had attracted a turnout of some 35 avid hashers.

Unlike what was stated in the monthly newsletter, its run site was at Durian Tunggal and not Kesang Pajak which had confused a few hashers. Among them was devoted runner ex GM Vibrator who looked frustrated for not being able to join the run on his late arrival after driving around in circle in Kesang Pajak which is some 10 km away. Hope he could sleep well.

It was a rainy day. Undeterred, itching for a good sweat-out, my partner and I arrived at the run site early. Very soon, we were joined by early bird Dr.Pandyarajah and co-hares Kacang Panjang, 4896 and Super 96 who had just completed setting the running trail with wet bodies.

It was at 5.25 pm that my partner and I started the run as early birds by following the paper which led south on a broad laterite road into an oil palm plantation. It then zigzagged abreast the outer fencing of a huge chicken farm, turned left eastward across a deep ditch into the compound of a few labourer quarters and went uphill beneath the high tension wire for some 35 minutes before hitting the first complicated check. Its connecting paper was found by me some 100 metres away on a path in a bushy rubber plantation on the right of the back trail after a spread-out search of some 10 minutes. As usual, as early birds, we did not join the paper.

The paper continued to meander through the bushy and undulating rubber plantation for another some 15 minutes before hitting the second simple check at a T-junction. Once again its connecting paper was found by me some 100 metres ahead a short while later after a spread-out search. It was then that we were being caught up and overtaken by avid scheduled runners Pramjit Singh and Utom Singh.

The paper then continued to proceed northward for some 10 minutes before hitting the third and last tough check at a Y-junction. By then we were being caught up by another 3 avid scheduled runners who were made up of Dr. Pandyarajah, Govind and Peter Loi. Its connecting paper was found by Dr. Pandyarajah a short while later on a bushy path in another rubber plantation some 100 metres away on the left of the back trail. From then on, it was another some 30-minutes trudge through the bushy and hilly rubber plantation, across another deep ditch and high tension wire before hitting the home trail and arriving back at the run site at 7.10 pm as last runners when the sky began to fall dark. On the way, we were being overtaken by Camel Lok, Horlick, Hawaii Goh, Nancy, SYT, Albert, GM Dennis the Menace and late starter Ranger.

It was an enjoyable medium run of some 7 km which was followed by a hash circle conducted by GM Dennis the Menace. As usual, it saw a number of sinners being put on ice and on-downed.

On On was held at the nearby Win Huat Restaurant in Batu Bernam. In attendance were some 40 hashers. A 6-course delicious Chinese dinner was served. Another on-downed session was conducted by GM Dennis the Menace who looked happy in the absence of his other half, Carol the Twin Towers, who was away on holiday. It saw a big number of sinners being on-downed. It was followed by his announcement of our great success in organizing the recent grand 30th Hashloween Joint Run and his appreciation of our contributions. The dinner was partly subsidized by the hare. A big thanks. It ended at around 10.00 pm.

See you at the coming run of 4896 and Super 96 at Gapam, fellow hashers! You are cock sure to enjoy it.

On! On!
