Friends catching up - Glamour & Duchess

Hotlips & Pee Wee

 

I didn’t quite do the run

Though I did go for a walk

And we were on some of the paper

And all the way we talked

 

Sid & Trailblazer found the on on paper

But everyone else decided to get lost for a bit

And then they found another check

And by then just kept on walking. Those gits.

 

There wasn't that many people

And the sky threatened to cry

Lots of homemade goodies to eat

Something buzzed past Erin’s eye

 

Shout out was quick

No guest or new member

Though it was great to give

Handles to 4 hashers

 

 

Moana have been good

Bringing guests from here and yonder

From now on she will be known

As …. THE RECRUITER!

 

Karlene is well known

And it suits her new title

For her love of animals

We name her DR DOLITTLE!

 

Rozi is the cousin of Psycho

Is full of laughts and Oooos

But she hasn’t done anything much

So Hello MISS GOODY-TWO-SHOES!

 

Masayo is from Japan

Her English is good to get by

Raise your beers and shout the cheer

we all yell out KAMPAI!

 

Graceful Hashit takers Psycho & Satu Lagi

 

St Andrews run in on the fourteenth November

Serunai Singers is this Friday

Halloween Run is Next week

And kids hash is on Sunday

For Halloween Run is next week

It’s not at five , we will start late

The run will start unless it is raining

But even if it is, after the sun sets

 

Bring along your carved pumpkin

Some nice prizes to be won

And set it on the table

You may submit more than one

 

There are ghosties hiding in the jungle

Ten of them you must find

Don’t be greedy one is enough

To get you a goodie at the end of the line

 

Dress up totally scary

Dress up in your best

There will be a competition

Three prizes for best dressed

 

- The Scaries -

 

Ghosts & Goblins

Spooks Galore

Scary Witches at your door

Jack O Lanterns

Smiling bright

Wishing you a haunting night

Must have for all reccees and when laying trail in case of a tree fall!

Hares Sid & Trailblazer

Over hills and over dales,
Over streams and along the trails,
The hashers kept hashing along.

The trail started off all nice and flat,
Obviously the hares thought "we can't have that!"

So up a hill we began to climb,
A hill that lasted a very long time!

So long in fact it began to get dark,
A thing that is not for the feint of heart.

We huffed and we puffed and curses rang out,
Occasionally we could hear the "on-on" shout.

The hares though still on the trail were found,
By Speedy Gonzales and the dashing Hash Hound.

The horns were blown with verve and dash,
As is always the case on the Ladies Hash.

There was only one check to slow us down,
By a clever & nifty hasher it was found.

Hashit was awarded to the largest number in a while,
Smurf, Possum, Trailblazer and Sid accepted in style.

Forgetting to sign out was Possums mistake,
Smurf introduced her guest a little late.

Return H4 hasher "After Hours" from Jakarta

New member: Paula from New Zealand

Trailblazer and Sid were made all nice and wet,
Hashit for "caught on the trail" is a sure bet!

There were a few hardy hashers who decided to stay,
Til 2am on account of the public holiday.

They enjoyed the flowing rivers of green and blue,
And assuredly told a tall hashing tale or two.

So another week down, another trail run,
We're keeping it at Diplo for this week's fun.

The K-9 unit have been out to search and find
Obstacles and adventures of all different kinds.

See you on Tuesday, bring a plate,
Run starts at 5.15pm, don't be late!

On-on,
The K-9 unit; Twinkle Toes & Rolling Thunder, Squeak & Checkmate, Wonder Woman & Jess & Zulu.

HARES: MADAM SIN/SMURF

It has been a while since I last wrote Hash word. Inevitably because of laying next week run (Breast Cancer Run 8^th October 2013) need to submit this on time.

I arrived 15 minutes earlier before 5.15p.m. (the start time) at Kapok to find there was no tent in sight. Very few hashers chatting away while waiting for more to turn up. Peewee took the front horn position but said she did not have wrist watch so will need to be alerted; I set my alarm at 5.15 and promptly when it buzz .. off we run or walk following for the first time using yellow paper s(instead of white). I thought color paper is for connecting ‘check’. Glamour and Duchess mistaken the color papers, they spent the earlier part of the hour going the wrong trail.

We all rather familiar with Kapok hill run; but hares had cleverly took us to different ‘In’ trail, put up a rather different style of first check which was found by ‘Sarah’ (hope I didn’t get the name wrong) over a zinc/wire fencing across drain on the right side of the trail. This again lead the whole pack (the late comers also managed to catch up in time) and we found that all of us back to the cemented stairs up, up, up to the usual trail of Kapok run. Caught up with ‘Back horn’ Erin, she and ‘Squek’ both decided to pair up to keep each other company (good choice).

It was indeed a long up climb and after passing ‘Gua Harimau – Tiger Cave’ sign I managed to snap a photo of our new Japanese Hasher – she looked enjoying her walk. We soon reached the summit of the trail at the hut spotted ‘Satu Lagi’ and two others were taking photos of the sea scenery while the rest of the front and fast runners who couldn’t bother to take a break had all proceed to run back to wagon site. Just as the name of run said Hashbar Run; the hares generously set the bar at the descending route where I too happily took two cups. The drink quickly kicked in my empty stomach and chemical reaction was fast enough to make me felt a little tipsy.

At the site, the tent finally arrived, quickly set up and the shout up was assembled; two first time guests were introduced and a new member (Mew Sum) was confirmed but she made uncalled mistake of drinking before down down was sang, oh..oh ‘Hash shit’ was given to her along with ‘Never Wrong’ who supposed to give her guest away did not promptly respond to the call.

 

Few announcements were made followed by a sumptuous meal catered by the hares. Masayo gave me her Japanese ‘Sake’ cocktail which again increased my spirit. I decided stay on a bit to chit chat with hash shitted ‘Mew Sum’ and her new Singaporean friend (1^st time Guest) awaiting the sweet spirit stabilized in order to avoid newly implemented ‘Demerit System’ by Land Transport Department. Not forgetting to pick up signs for next week’s Breast Cancer Run. On on..

FRONT HORN: Hillary    BACK HORN: Never Wrong

♫♬♪♫♫ ← that is the horn! 5.15 and off we went! I think Hilary was front horn, not a job to be sniffed at - and let’s face it, you get a rest from checking. We set off on a gentle jog down one of the best roads to nowhere in the country. It’s much improved from a couple of years ago, less holes and mud, but still quite a long trot. We ran past the cut in to the left, right to the end, where the paper took us right and eventually down to the first check. (Not so, as it turned out) Clever clogs that I am, I was convinced that the on paper would be down the hill and in to the right, as several runs have taken us that way, and I’ve laid a couple myself, bringing us out on the gas line and back to the tent. However, the hares laid the on paper cunningly to the left. This took us onto a gravel path and then into more jungly terrain. We’d all bunched together (a sign of a good check) by this point, and were all snaking around the track when 2nd check was called. Having an excellent week’s checking, I checked back - wrong again!!!!!!!! It was on ahead, and brought us out onto the out-trail, albeit it a rather long one. Swampy, wet, muddy, but not bad if you wanted to stretch your legs and have a bit of a run. We finally hopped over the barrier at the end and up the road back to the tent. A thoroughly pleasant hash, thank you Hares!

A bit of washing down and changing later, and we all gathered around for the shout up. Our JMs and our GM came up for their down down for the good run we had just done - and they provided us with some very tasty Thai makan - thank you again Hares. We had 5 new guests, the only one I could hear was the Scottish lady - good to tell she is a teacher ;-) 4 other lovely ladies with very quiet voices so I’m unable to tell you anything about them. We had 2 new members - hurrah! Nancy and Zoe, welcome to the ladies’ hash, you’ve just joined a very special group of ladies, you won’t find a more independent, strong, adventurous yet caring and supportive group of women anywhere.

New Members....

 

This week’s run is very different to last week’s. Wear long leggings/socks as my legs got a bit scratched on our recce. Some different jungle, with a couple of stunning views - take the time to look, it’s part of what hashing is all about! There are quite a few pitcher plants along the way too. Only one real hill, a bit of water - in fact a bit of everything really! It’s the first Satu Lagi / Pee Wee collaboration, so we hope you enjoy it, on on!

With the hard rain that we have had for many nights lately - it was a relief that tonight's run was dry. There was a good turn out of hens with several guests, making it a busy run. The quote of the day "The hills aren't so bad...once you've reached the top" from Rave really did sum up the run in many ways. The plural of hills was correct, with the checks leading us to go up and down them several times. First check was found twice, once on old paper and the second time on the right paper.  Well done Satu Lagi and Hash Hound, between them they found all three checks.

Once up the hills, there were great stretches of trails for the front runners to let off steam. The trail led us to Lucky Gardens and then back in the jungle for most, except the group that needed rescuing. The run was a good hour for front runners  (thank you very much!)  but the hares were kind enough to lay a shorter run, which meant that everyone was out in good time.

The second sign "don't park on the grass as it is soft" was left by the sign in sheets...oops you had to park before you could read the sign!- sorry! The shout up was a busy affair - with four first time guests and our celebration of the September birthdays - Happy birthday to Debbie, Doris, Hash Hound and Black Beauty. Also well done to Alison on her 1050 runs - wow. Everyone was being too good so no hash it this week, hurry up Dizzy - we really are waiting for you. Thank you ladies for the run and laksa and great job Rave as virgin hare.

Note on this weeks run. Yeh we are back at DST. Normal run with good trails and no hills, but be prepared to get muddy! take care to stay on fresh paper as kids hash was at this site on Sunday.

Last week’s run was laid by the ‘WISE’ women of our hash. Led by Mrs Pingu as the front horn (unsure on back horn), the ladies made their way around a lovely trail at Lucky Gardens. The first two checks were found by Ryvita and the third and final check was found by Pee Wee, all three being forward checks.

Big thanks to Hot Lips who was absent but generously allowed us to use her simpang for the On-On and thanks also go to the Brits who decorated the tent beautifully. To top it off, a delicious spread was set and everyone’s teacup was brimming with the yummy drinks on offer. A trivia quiz was given out all about the British Isles and prizes were awarded to some of the higher scoring teams. We all bunched together for a group photo before the rain began to fall and then shout up commenced. It was the usual announcements with one (I think) first time guest introduced to us all. Madame Sin had everyone laughing with her collection of one-liners from a selection of British comedians.

Although we didn’t do the run ourselves, due to a virus that’s been doing the rounds, we have been told that a great night was had by all.

Off  we went in Diplo on a fine, cool evening although breezeless, is that a word? The in went in where the kids Hash had come out on Sunday, making me think my  newly dried Hash shoes would soon be muddy again, correctamundo! A lovely sticky, muddy mushiness needed to be navigated before we offed into the jungle proper.

Fabby Diplo type hills and dips awaited us and our three pouches in tow as we clucked along fusing fitness, friendship and fondue recipes as we hashed.

The paper seemed to go randomly from white to yellow and back again but I'm sure there was a check there somewhere and it was a veritable confetti storm on the out trail, you couldn't have got lost on a dark night with a blindfold on and your Mother-in-law giving you child rearing advise in your ear if you tried.

Thanks Psycho and Rozie for the scrummy, fragrant curry, rice and little balls of asthmatic asphyxiation for afters, tasted good but lethal icing powder, need to register those a WMDs girls!
I won the pyjama competition in my green and white ice cream cone number......not. We had a first time guest and a new member but you better ask someone, who didn't eat from an aluminium cooking set for a year whilst travelling, their names as I have forgotten, sorry. Anyway Welcome, welcome welcome ladies.

I can't remember when the last time I hashed.... somewhere in March I
think... Anyhoozy, Psycho got me to agree to fill up one of the runs
for August, hence I am here now, at Salambigar Waterfalls, early!
Almost threaten not to happen with a last minute 4pm meeting
scheduled. And that didn't happen! Yay! More or less the same goes
with Psycho, possibility she won't make to hash on time either. We
even figured out how to get info for Words if neither of us could make
it.

 

Checking with Psycho earlier where hash location was, I was trying to remember whether I hashed at said location before or not, I got there early! Record! Before 5! Yes! while waiting for the horn caught up with fellow hashers, banter banter banter, a few snippets of conversation..."Aaawww cute doggie!" "Onigiri eyeballs!" "Where have you been?" "I'm too lazy to go all the way..." "Had a really good summer..." "I got terrible sinus..." Weather was great though, cloudy and cool. I was eagerly looking around checking out new faces, still quite a few familiar ones, and generally just soaking up the atmosphere, gosh I'm actually here! Bwahahahahah!

 

Just before start of the run, announcement came up to make sure no valuables were left out in the car. Got some of us all paranoid and despite the horn going off and fellow hashers going into the jungle, the paranoia amongst us went back to our cars to triple make sure we didn't leave anything out in the open. I caught up with Squeak and Erin and teamed up with them, we figured we go half in half out. Since Psycho wasn't around, at least I got company. It was a good thing, right after the concrete steps and passed the watering holes, and up the hill, was when it became apparent the purpose as to why we were meant to be together. We have discovered... to get up a hill, we must bitch. That was the only way. That first hill just seemed to go on up forever. Mind you, I have not hashed in a while and it looked forever. Lots of 'sexy butts' mantras were being said, ok, that was me.

 

When we finally got to the top, and looked at the time, only 9 minutes had passed!! WTF?!?! 9 minute!?! Damn long 9 minutes of our lives.... More bitching ensured. Hehehe... After that was when the hash became a blur, I was constantly right behind Erin, I studied her legs and feet just so. Didn't look left didn't look right. Eyes were focused to watching her every step. Must keep up. Staring at Erin's feet, I just want to get out of here before it gets too dark. Passed Racheal, she got more motivation than I do. I is lazy cow at this stage, thinking when is a good time to turn back... Maybe 5 minutes more than turn back... Are you guys turning back...? Ok, lets see at the end of this trail...

 

After that, the only thing that occupied my mind was uh oh, I need a toilet @_@ ummm, aahhh, do I need to go now or maybe I can hold it in. I got this brilliant plan of hoping to sweat out most of the fluids, not that it worked since the weather was great! Very cooling. Yes, very good for the average person who's out in the jungle working up a sweat. Cool weather not so good with someone who is exercising bladder control. By then we figured we have already passed the halfway point... Oh I almost forgot, I think within 5 minutes of us entering the jungle we heard calls of 'Checking from here' ringing out. Of course by the time we got to the site everybody else have gone through already. Only now I can't remember if there was a second check too.

 

After a while I realised I was staring at Squeak's feet. And really I wasn't sure if I should be testing my bladder's prowess right now, but at the same time wasn't sure if we do stop and drop my pants someone would just pop right up. I had an internal toilet debate going on inside me. Eventually I pulled over and it was like "Come on, come on, hurry up, hurry up, expel, expel!" Relief! Then I had to run to catch up with them two, don't fancy the idea of being all alone. In the jungle. At this time of the month. Where 'hungry ghosts' are crawling about... Brrrr! Good thing I stuck with them two, turned out the trail was pretty familiar as they were here before and assured we're almost out. Yay!!! And after a gentle downward treck, we're right next to the highway! The walk back was pleasant thanks to the cool breeze and overhead clourds, not sure how long it was, haveing the cars pass by it didn't look that far. Saw Psycho and handed her the baton to continue of post hash happenings as I had to hash and dash. Until next week from me! Rozi

~Psycho says~

I got there late. Hate work for this. As I couldn’t see where the out paper was I opted to go in at the start. Up hill and bumped into norma, katy, Alison and storm. So kept on going until I hit first check. Walked a bit more, looked at the time and promptly walked back to sign out.

On On was at Tina’s with good food and good company. Kids hash is at diplo. First time guest who is a travelling hasher??? (My brain spaced out for a good 2 minutes). We love GM’s Dad!! Who loves us back by sending us damn good jokes. Mdm Sin contributed a joke that sent quite a few people going “I don’t get it, what is it??” And the reply was along the line of something about “you gotta be british/kiwi/aussie/insert nationality here kind-of-joke” SueAnne made a dutch something that was tasty (recipe in words).

First time guests

Another day for Hash….

It seems that the number of hashers is diminishing day by day. I wonder why. Oh yes! It’s the holidays. Hari Raya is up and going and some ladies were busy sitting on their pajamas at their hometown. But on the bright side, there were glamorous ladies who would still sparkle on this run. As getting prep and ready for the run, the ladies looked enthusiastic to bask in the ambience of the jungle.

At first, we were walking at the street with the slight idea where the white paper would go. A pitiful sight unfolds before our eyes when we saw a monkey tied on the fence. The monkey looks fascinated by the sight of ladies but as I trudged more I saw a banana tree bearing bountiful fruits. Then, that explains it. Little steps after, voilà! A small piece of wood was there to help us cross to reach the next big step – the jungle. Just the scenery of the jungle made the energy of the ladies level up. After several minutes of walking in the ups and downs of the jungle, the power of the ladies does not seem to falter. As we hiked, the admiration for Mother Earth was felt through our minds rather than the sweat flowing on our backs. The three checks were found by JM Ryvita.

The sound of the running cars were heard closer and closer. Finally, a down sloping way to the road and the next thing we know we have finished the run. Well done ladies!

Thank you hares for a marvellous run.

The shout up was a bit peaceful as many hashers were preoccupied. In that silent and warm night with mosquitoes biting around, the calls for hashits were called upon. Suddenly a ringing sound was heard and it was Glamour’s phone. The ladies enjoyed the food which was prepared by one another. All the food was scrumptious and these surely contributed to my good and soundly sleep.

Great views from the top....

DATE: 7th August 2013 FRONT HORN: Mrs Pingu BACK HORN: Trailblazer FIRST TIME GUEST: Hannah from UK The smallest group of hens gathered around on a fine afternoon after a deluge earlier in the afternoon. No sign of the tent… but we did ask Readymix to order one. Cheryl was very pleased to hand over the running of the hash to Mrs Pingu who had just returned from her holidays keen and eager and was promptly given the front horn. Warning of stingy things at the start was relayed, shortish run with two checks was received from the hares. We set off with Mrs Pingu running up the stairs, and then Hot Lips with niece Hannah just fresh from her holidays as well enthusiastically went past the climbers. Trailblazer was not far behind and as warned the hornets were out and Hannah got a couple of sting.  She was not sure what had hit her as she felt great pain, but Trailblazer urged her to run on quickly but not before she spotted a small snake looking for refuge upon hearing the thundering footsteps of the hashers. Soon we could hear Mrs Pingu calling “checking” and soon the horn was tooting indicating the on paper.  So keen was Mrs Pingu that she ran on and found 2nd check, before the rest of the pack had caught up. We stopped for a breather at the top taking in the great views and then it was downhill all the way. On the out we say Jenni from the block and Readymix coming the opposite direction and advising that Misayo had been stung by hornets, and some hens had turned back to  administer some first aid. We were soon back at the tent, and food to share started to arrive … yummy dips, mixed cocktail nuts were shared as we waited for the rest of the hens to get back.  Thank you ladies for a great spread.. Ika brought bakso (an Indonesian specialty), Glamour brought some of her homemade goodies, yummy desserts .. First time guest Hannah was welcomed, and Possum updated the hens about the collection for Linggis grandson David.  With the summer holidays coming to a close, we look forward to more ladies returning for the runs as the last few weeks has seen only a turn out of about 20. As usual few set around for a while but the evening drew to an early close as the rain stayed away for another cool evening. Run report by volunteer Trailblazer.. On on Don’t forget your chairs for this weeks run at Twinkle Toes and a plate to share after the run.

Well where was everyone! I believe 21 people signed in and out but if that included the Hares, the walkers to the waterfall and those busy sorting out drinks, ice and the like there was only about 11 of us who set off last Tuesday afternoon, sorry and 2 dogs.

Holidays that's what it must be and that was my excuse for not wanting to do more than the short run indicated on the words. Three weeks of English sunshine, family catch ups and hundreds of bowls of strawberries, raspberries and the like.... a non-typical English holiday!!! had set me to thinking a long run would see me in RIPAS and not as a member of staff. So when I arrived at the hash trying to think of plausible reasons why this weeks words would only be about the short run, I was greatly pleased to hear several other hashers complaining of ailments or such for opting for the short run. Both horns, Twinkle Toes and the Duchess of Cambridge, opting for the short run made it very clear with such a small body of runners we had best keep to the one run and keep safely together for the purpose of checking etc. A great shame for the hares and I'm sure we all thank them for their hard work rec-cing, cutting and laying the run especially in the face of the construction or rather destruction machines, apologies from all of us.

Well the run started promptly at 5.15pm as the runners/walkers/crawlers and all traversed the opposite edge of the storm drain to enter at a newly cut trail straight up the hill. There was certainly some scrambling going on on this in-trail and I for one wished I had the 4 leg drive of Twinkle Toes' pooch. The top of the scramble was seen and we got back on to a familiar trail from GI Jane's epic A to B from Sungai Akar. Disturbing comments were made as we meandered along ups and downs of the ridge as we could see the destruction to the right. Good running trails ahead if only our little group could raise the speed but it's not a race so we caught up on gossip and kept plodding on.

Breaking out of the jungle ridge we met the Duchess of Cambridge being a committed horn by laying paper through first check which we believe was found by Squeak, was there some paper trail crossing and a little short cutting going on in front of us??? Well we were very good and followed the trail on-to a slight rise off the newly created mud track and on up again only to turn left and drop back on to the afore mentioned construction trail, we know what you front runners probably did!!!!

We then headed over the slightly muddy trail back up into the jungle only to be confronted with a sharp right down back towards the muddy trail, we think ah ha! lets call and see where are fellow hasher dulcet calls come from. Thank you whoever responded as we could hear calls ahead and stayed on that ridge to save our legs and lungs for later hills. Honest we didn't short cut, much!

Up and down, up and down was the order for the rest of the run as we headed hopefully back along the link road and out. Trails became familiar again as we turned and descended off the ridge to the very unstable looking log crossing. Rachel was the braver of our group as she strutted across the log but me for one thought better of it and was seen scrambling around in the stream below before attacking the return up to the ridge. At which point I have no idea who found second check or if there was a third or more or who found them sorry, pat yourselves on the back if you did as a job well done. We the followers had no problem following your well laid through checks.

We also scrambled up the next hill to meet Sarah coming in backwards, her message of "there is light at the end of the tunnel" was a greatly appreciated and a boost to our efforts, although after at least another two hills which we had to assault I for one was wondering whether she'd been playing us along, but no that sign said it all- short run this way. Thank you hares I had had enough and was very grateful to see the sight of the big drop back down to the waterfalls and out.

A lovely if not hilly area being completely spoilt for what??? Any ideas? Possible one of the last runs there which was very well laid and organised, thank you hares for a job well done.

I missed the On-On but was informed by my co-hare and stand-in JM (after she eventually managed to get in at the on-on- tricky gates I hear), that there was no guests, no new members, no entertainment, no hashit but two virgin hares - excellent, a fantastic start to your hash laying, there was filled rolls a much loved La-dies hash on-on delight, thank you again hares and all in all an-other successful and enjoyable Ladies Hash Tuesday. Here's hoping our run goes as well. This weeks run is a variation on the usual Diplo run, there are hills, valleys, water crossings and checks but with the addition of a long time not used trail just to keep you on your toes at checks - well that's the idea! PLEASE NOTE : there is alot of old paper in this site, we have tried to clear as much as possible but you still need to make sure you only follow new PINK paper (first check will be yellow as normal) ON-ON
