RUN NO. 2518

DATE: 22 NOVEMBER

SITE: MENTERI WATERFALLS

HARES: Alice in Wonderland/JOTB/Hornbill
FRONT HORN: Hash Hound   BACK HORN: Tracy

A lovely turn out for hash last Tuesday at one of the favourite hash sites!

Started up the bit*h of a hill that just kept going up and soon it became quite apparent that a number of (cheating!) ladies took the short cut instead of going up another hill. I was too far back to know who found the checks, probably peachi keen whose slender legs can glide ahead like a gazelle.

The run was laid through really well with a good road run at the end. No one was led astray and everyone got out safely in good time.

On on commenced at Jenny on the block's. 'Holy f**k, that's a beautiful home!' Especially with all the handmade furniture! The few who were given a house tour were mesmerised with the wide stairs. We're a weird bunch!

Sorry to have digressed!

First shout out by our wonderful new JMs who brought back birthday cupcakes (Trailblazer and Hot lips)! Yum! Thank you to the hares JOTB, AIW, and hornbill. No FTG, no celebrations. We we very well entertained by a joke by Yogi Beer and hash shit to our veteran peachi keen (forgot to sign in) and psycho (for accusing the hares for not doing their jobs).

Announcements - sunday (27th nov) crafts fayre at serasa clubhouse and book binding workshop at mabohai.

Thank you to hares for amazing food! What a treat we had with the wrap station.

NEXT RUN: DIPLO

JMs and GMs in action

Licker & Lickety Quick

Dizzy and Pee Wee

The highlight of  hashing in the  H3 Hashing calendar which is eagerly anticipated by all members and this year it is extra special for we are celebrating 2 special occasions, i.e. Founder’s Day and 50^th years of  hashing in Brunei.

Some hardworking members must have come early to OnOn site to decorate and to prepare audio / visual equipment, for when we arrived, all those things were in place.

As we signed in we were given our Founders Day pack consisting of a bag and a t-shirt. Bag would be handy for putting all our hash gears when coming to hash every Tuesday!

Just before the run, JM Peewee announced that it will be a short, lollipop run with no checks. We were advised to follow paper and not go on up to top of hill as some of us did at last run here in Sleazy Garden! Front horn  Ryvita  was not present at start of run  and back horn was Janine. As usual, at 5.15 pm, the front runners sprinted out of gate. Don't know if Janine ever had the opportunity to sound the horn in the jungle  but she  did toot it accidentally whilst still on the road!

This time all hashers did as instructed; up and down tarred road; turned left onto dirt road , a little climb and then right onto dirt road gone muddy before slipping into jungly bit; crossed 2 streams or was it the same stream crossed at different point; then onto dirt road again then left down hill on way out. Nothing spectacular but we did get our shoes wet and muddy. Some front runners decided to do another round by going in the Out trail.

Back at OnOn site some members were already in the pool, imbibing on their favourites colours thanks to 2 free tokens. At some point in time, the hens drifted off to change into  their 60s costume and when they emerged.. Oh My... I have never seen so many hippies in one place and costumes in myraid of  colours and glitters; some were transformed and needed second and third look to ascertained  as to who they were!! It was like going back in time!

The shout out proceeding got under way with the usual thanking of hares and down-down. 2 returning hens [Gina-Senior avid hasher] and Dizzy (both had served as JMs of H3 before) coming here for the 50^th anniversary celebration were also down-downed and welcomed. Jms announced there will be a part 2 to the proceeding after makan which was delicious curry.

 Then it was Shout Up part 2 starting with giving out of special  “prizes” to hares where an event / incidents occurred in their runs; the shiggiest, wettest, longest,shortest, most hashits, haring the most runs and so on. Then it was time to thank  2016 Hash Committee and introducing 2017 Hash Committee and no doubt the one that garnered the most interest was: who are the new JMs and  GM?!. … When JM Smurf  asked “ Will the new JMs please stand up” …. up jumped Psycho and Ripper! And the  new GM, Hash Hound  swaggered her way up to join the gathered  2017 Hash Committee!

We were entertained by 4 moustachiod ladies dancing and singing tributes to 2 dispensers of drinks in the hash --- Mrs. Barman (H3) and Mr. Moonshine (H4)

The merry making continued with more music and dancing: the hardcores danced on way past their bedtime!!

This is not the end to the merry- making though for on  Saturday, November 19, we will be at Serasa Yacht Club where hashers from other Brunei Hash Chapters and guests will join us to help  celebrate 50^th Anniversary.  Can’t wait to get our feet over there!

Next  run is at Salambigar Waterfall on Mentiri Highway. OnOn will be at JennyOnTheBlock's 

P/S Please bring your chair and park sensibly; follow direction (by JOTB).

RUN NO. 2516 DIPLO 8 NOV 2016

RUN NO. 2516
DATE: 8 NOV 2016
SITE: DIPLO - BARKATS RUN
HARES: ALISON/SMURF/CHERYL/BLACK BEAUTY

So, the penultimate run of the hashing year. And one that definitely didn't disappoint.

We gathered at Diplo, as we often do, in anticipation of the BarKats run. Not a long run we were told, if it's too short, do it twice. We headed down the road and into the jungle just near the Malaysian High Com, not a spot we usually go in so good for a change. Down we went, not long before first check, which was a little bit fiendish, as we had been warned it may be. 

As is usually the case with Diplo runs, we had plenty of water crossings, and a few canny hills in there to stretch our legs. Second check also proved to be rather fiendish, Mrs Pingu and myself checked right up the opposite ridge for the paper to be found back across the water. It took us a while to actually get back on paper, but we managed.

Eventually we could hear the laughter and conviviality synonymous with H3, our BarKats had set up a bar in the jungle! So we all stopped for a little rest and a drink and a chat before heading back out to the tent, a mere 5 minutes away. The shout up followed and it was a pretty lively one. The hares were downdowned, sadly the last run Cheryl and Smurf will lay for H3. 

But instead of it being a sad occasion, we decided to party! We welcomed three FTGs and one new member - Sharon. The hares provided great food for us, and we even had music to wile away the hours to! We Hens didn't disappoint, some of us dancing late into the night at what was a great warm-up for Founders' Day on Tuesday. Thank you BarKats! On on

RUN NO. 2515
DATE: 1 NOV 2016
SITE: MENTERI WATERFALLS (BRREAST CANCER AWARENESS)
HARES: TRAILBLAZER/YOGI BEER/WHERES WALLY/GOODNIGHT KIWI/LARA

When Alison asked me to write the words for the Breast Cancer Awareness run it suddenly dawned on me that this would be last time!

I just want to take the opportunity to thank the Ladies Hash members past and present for such a fun run! What a great time I have had with H3! I have many memories and mementos of my time with you including –great friends, tears, chat, gossip, cuts, bruises, stings, rashes, a fear of logs, great food, dressing up, and loads of fun! I will miss you all and hope I can still read the words on line to see what you are up to!

Back to last week’s run!

It was very lucky the rain kept off!  I didn’t actually go in for this run, but by all accounts, it was long, hard, slippy and ended in darkness. Could be the title of a porn film! Well done ladies for testing our elite athletes, including those from Rimba.

The on-on was held at Yogi Beer’s palatial mansion.

Smurf and I had hash t-shirts looking for good homes. Every t-shirt with its own story of blood sweat and tears spent in the jungles of Borneo! Ah! If only t-shirts could talk!

Back to the on-on …. The intrepid hares, Goodnight Kiwi, Where’s Wally, Trailblazer, Yogi Beer and virgin hare Lara were duly down-downed. Trailblazer gave a short spiel about breast cancer awareness, pointing out that all of us know someone who has suffered from this scourge. She added that in Brunei there is a high percentage of young victims. (So sad)

Before I forget, Pedigree Pup and Mrs. Pingu were the horns.

Peachy Keen was down-downed for 100 runs and her amazing achievement of running for 50kms in KK. Smurf said that her snotty nose had also run 50kms! No beer for her however!

Miss Rachael Tan was named Miss Gobby by the elegantly hatted and plastic sworded Smurf.

Goodnight Kiwi celebrated 650 runs. Congratulations!
