Left Kuantan at 11.45am and arrived home at 2.50pm. Left home at 3.15pm and arrived at the run site at 4.15pm. Have an argument with my other half where he should park the car.
Run started at 4.30pm… as usual. Actually I can’t remember much about the run as I was chatting with May about Cardiff. I remember we walked up the hill as both of us was out of breath and have to stop talking for a while. First check…(I think) because the front runners were checking up and down the hill. Later they call on on up the hill in the rubber plantation. May and I slowly climbed up and continue our conversation. Not long after that we were out at the open area and we met Dan Percival and the other back runners looking for the trail ( I presume this is the 2nd check). On on was call down to the valley and into the overgrown rubber paths. Going up and up, then we met Alex Yoong searching for the paper…so now maybe we are at the 3rd check. On on was called to the left and down the hill to normal plantation road. After this all I could remember was walking and walking through rubber, jungle , rubber and orchard before we came out into the tarmac road. We just following the paper, then the paper turn left but we decided to follow the road. After a while we saw the other hashers were on the other side of the river and we decided we have no choice but to crossed the river. Hugh came from behind us and asking me, whether I’m going to write the scribe report for this run As I understand my darling husband will do it for me, I told him no but my other half will. To my horror, he told me he was running with my dear husband off paper for almost half the run before he met us. From here onward, I tried to remember the detail of the run but without paper and pen to write …..I feel hopeless. Basically we were back to rubber plantation, going through some overgrown and out into the open path. A few local driving a four wheel drive past us and was curious why we were all dirty and sweaty. The home trail was such a long trail, and finally after almost two hour walking we were back at the run site. Overall it was a good walk for me and May with two time river crossing.( more river next time please….) I was so disappointed when I found out there was no more 100 plus, only mineral water, soft drinks and beer. I have to make do with water chestnut mix with mineral water. I hope next week I won’t be deprived of my 100 plus.
ON Sec’s Note. There was a miscommunication this week. The Committee’s intention was to add bottled water to the choice of drinks, and later to assess if the number of crates of 100plus etc. should be changed. (We normally order 8+ crates of `100plus and 6 miscellaneous soft drinks) and will be reverting to the same plus water next week.
Circle was called around 7.00pm. May, Angie and one other guy were called to sit on the ice for wearing their new shoes. Wolfgang and I was called because of the direction to the on on last week. It was all Wolfgang and Thomas mistake they mix up the name of the petrol station. Thomas and Chai Leng also got an on down for walking hand in hand to the waterfall. Terry, Colin, Rob and Nan got an on down for something ( sorry I can’t remember…) Circle was finished shortly after 8.00pm and we adjourned to the restaurant for the on on.
There were six tables, if I’m not mistaken and we have six dishes if I’m not mistaken. Good food and it cost us RM 12 each only. After that guest from Germany and Japan and returnee were called up. I can’t remember their name now ( sorry..) Danny and I received our Good Run t shirts. The hare was called to received his Good Run t shirt and then for all the hashers that went to Cardiff, they also get their on down. Jimmy got an on down for wearing Mother Hash t shirt. A few others got their on down for something that I can’t remember now. We left around 11.00pm as the children were tired and reach home around 11.50pm. Till next week, on on.
