It was a short drive to the run as the site was so near to the city. On On was called by JM Sen under an overcast sky. The run started on the usual trail on the left side of the car park. It was single filing all the way to the 1st check. On On was called in the river. The 2nd check was in the river and it was a forward check. The pack was pretty confused and it took them a few minutes to break it.
The paper then turned right up the bank back to the earlier trail that we were on and then onto a timber trail with a bridge across with the check put in a ditch on the right of the trail. On On was called back in the river and we were on it for about 10 minutes before we climbed up the left bank onto another timber trail.
We were then on this trail for sometime and the trail swung right into the vegetation and then descended back to the car park. The 1st runner was back in about 45 mins and the front runners went for another round as the run was too short.
One of the guests was stung by a bee and reacted to it and the Hare sent him to hospital where he was admitted for observation. The Hare ordered a basketful of durians and the hash cleaned it up in no time stinking or not. Jenny then served the Hash some red hairy fruits and the pig head that mufti Don Cheang was carrying on the torchlight run show.
The run was judged a On Down

Directions: go to Rawang or to Batu caves! Too bad the hare didn’t bother taking everyone the quickest way via Bkt Beruntung and Rasa a few K north to the run site. But then again, I think some people like traffic.
Park opposite a bus stop alongside the old Ipoh road!!
And… Rambo is Co-Hare!!!
Already this is sounding like a bad idea. What the He!!, we are hashers. We’ll do just about anything to get our already paid for beer at the end of a run.
As the GM is frolicking abroad, the JM’s had responsibility to start things off. Well, we already knew Tommy was going to pass the buck, so Sen was stuck with duties for the day. Unfortunately, Sen followed the Hares directions and was late along with Ramli and others. No worries, the faithful ex-GM was there to flag things off (course he had to write the scribe report anyway!)
Nick Bloy, new daddy of a baby girl was first up the hill to the first check. All hell broke loose after that. Admittedly by the hares, the trails were very close. Many ran backwards on paper to catch paper from the second check in the wrong direction. After 15 minutes with people going in all directions (and many returning home at that point to eat mangosteens!) we finally got on the right track to the third check. Luckily by that time, some of the mid-packers had already found two falsies and yours truly broke that check. Heading up and up, then down and down to find the paper run out and Gary Murrell with a handful of paper in his hand. On-Sec of Mother should know better than to pick up the whole check. Some need to stay there in case it is tougher to solve than imagined.
Again, it took the pack a long time to break the check, finally about half way around the circular and up, up up to another check… and up up up and up up up. Never ending climb, almost. I measured 320meters or about 1,000 feet of climbing. To give the hares credit, it was a great view. 360 degree view of the Genting foothills, Klang valley, I think I even saw Songkla! Luckily the clouds were still a few feet above our heads at that point.
Finally crossing over the top, we see an access road. Now I know the hares drove up the hill and set the paper going in reverse… Bastards!!! Rambo denied it, but we know better!
Good thing about going up all the time, some time we have to go down. And we did for the rest of the run. Through 3 more checks and back to the run site in about 1:30. Just in time for the Mangostein (Jewish version) sellers to bring their truckloads of fruit into the circle courtesy of Saru.
At that point, the hare actually asked if he had to go to the ON ON. He had never been before… YOU OUGHT TO BE PUBLICLY PISSED ON!!!
Designated whips were Roger and Joel. Joel was forced to go home early without dinner, so yours truly carried out his charges. Mostly about breasts, sex and fierce gay boys ending just as the rain began to fall.
Rambo announced the ON ON somewhere in Serendah. At least he didn’t use the big Sony sign as a landmark!
Apologies for not making the ON ON or Triple on. I understand a T-Shirt was awarded and justly so. Despite my bitching (I couldn’t be an ex-GM without bitching!), a very good run. Thanks a lot guys! ON ON.

Dear ladies and gentlemen of the Hash
Saturday, 07-07-07, what an auspicious date to do something memorable
like setting the CanAm Run. For the number 7 is a special number...
For God created the world in 7 days... there are 7 days in a week...
Snow White and the 7 Dwarves etc, etc.
As it is my turn to scribe and
yours truly take this responsibility rather seriously, have resorted to
be the absent Sckribe,(not by choice, but by unforeseen circumstances)
rang a few responsible ladies and gentlemen of the Hash for their honest
and unbiased reviews of the run. Here are their reviews:
Quote from a high ranking hasher: "There was a big turn out. Fairly
open area in palm. First runner in 1 hr 10 mins. The run was an on down.
Paul Kirkman created a havoc and went home with one set of keys and no
car. Ring Paul Kirkman up and ask him about his car. On On was a mix
of Western and Chinese food with pork chops and buffalo wings."
Quote from a hasher in 7th Heaven: "Everyone was very happy. It was
America Day run. The run started at 4.30pm. The run was mainly in oil
palm and very hot. It was a reasonable run and everyone enjoyed it.
Hares were Jimmy, Jane Trane and Barry. We had margarita onsite. On On
was at the Equatorial and we had one game of American hockey in the
restaurant. There was free beer at the triple on at the Backyard."
Quote from a no-nonsense straight talking hasher: "Run was ok. It was
messed up. I returned at 6.15pm. It is too short lah, I don't like
short run. I like longer run. The pack came back together. Food was
good, t-shirt was nice and the triple on was very good, even Stephanie
and Raymond were dancing. Everyone enjoyed themselves."
Quote from a distinguished member with a 7+year itch: "There were 7
checks, probably 7 falsies as well. I just walked around. It was a
normal run with lots of people shortcutting all over the place. I
didn't get my t-shirt. I left early.... I had an itch. Ask Peter
Brooke, he will tell you about the run."
On behalf of the members of the PH3, A very BIG THANK YOU to our fellow
Canadian & American hashers for hosting an enjoyable run on a memorable
day on 07-07-07.
Please accept my apologies for any spelling mistakes, errors in grammar
or if I have misquoted anyone. Any errors and inaccuracies that remain
are the sole property of the Sckribe and the Sckribe takes full
responsibilities.
Thank you very much for reading.
Truly yours,
Absent Sckribe
