Peanut King Vote for KH3 1111th Run

Kajang Hash is considering a yearend celebration RUN (in October 2009) in conjunction with our 1111th run.

Question on whether or not to celebrate was thrown to the floor yesterday to some committee members present and Kajang hashing members during the circle after our weekly run at Jalan Kacau (duck farm), Semenyih. The Hare of the night was 'Tai Fatt/Boh Siah'....Good RUN, On On.

Majority of the members voted for a celebration. Some were neither yes or no, including our On-Sec Raymond SMC.

In view of the prevailing recessionary mood and business slow down across the economy and the whole world, such a vote of support is highly commendable... Big Hand !!

For those that have abstain from voting or confirming the celebration. I think they just need abit more time and details and most important of all the damages each and every member have to fork out.

For many years in the past,members are cornered and near harrashed into forking out damages which they think is not their sole responbility but be share out with all members according to affortability.

Money contribution immaterial of any amount should not be the sole criteria to judge whether or not a member support a celebration. Contribution in kind, eg home made cakes, food & fruits, skillful contributions such as the OC team, performances or display put up by members, clearing of rubbish after celebration, time sacrifices by members during meeting, etc should also be consider a generous contribution to the success of any celebrations in mind.

Other than an amount of fixed contribution from members, agreed by committee at meeting, any other amount collected should be voluntarily and depends on the generousity of the member concerned.

Kajang hash must first have a budget and focus and resources be built around it. Any extra amount received due to the generosity of members and friends of KH3 should be view as a BONUS.

Last but no least, members immaterial of ranking, status, sex, religion and race, should be make to feel proud with 'A host like feeling built in them'. Kajang hash must always make sure bickering issue are quickly disolved, quarrelsome attitude be turn into friendship and joke, petty issue of the past be buried once and for all.

"We are all like brothers and sisters", this famous quote from our present GM Funtoong sum it all. Once members achieved a sense of belonging to KH3 , any call of celebrations will only bring pride and happiness and members will be more than proud to tell the world..."WE ARE TRULY KH3 MEMBERS". By then the OC better not be targeting 1000 or 1200 attandance. It could run into 5 figures if we dont put a stop to it.....haha..... well done.

The above are my personnal opinion as a Hasher with KH3. Members are welcome to comment without fear of favour.

My first Hash House Harriers' run

Although I made a promise to myself not to run for at least 5 days (since I have stitches on my belly from the birthmark removal) I had to break it, when the Shanghai Hash House Harriers teamed up with Suzhou Hash House Harriers (Meaning: 7 Finnish men and Me) for a trail run in the hills of Taihu Lake.

I have never been to a HHH run before, so being a 'virgin HHH' (as they so nicely put it) I had no idea what to expect.

Does all of you know what the HHH is? Hm... well how do I describe it? They call themselves 'drinkers with a running problem.' On their world homepage it says:

Now with 1872 hash groups registered in the world directory located in almost every major city in the world and 178 countries, it is easier than ever for you to find fun, trail, and friendship where you live. The Hash House Harriers is a more social version of Hare and Hounds, where you join the pack of hounds (runners) to chase down the trail set by the hare or hares (other runners), then gather together for a bit of social activity known as the On In or Down Down with refreshment, humor, song and sometimes a feast.

What this basically means is: 2 guys are 'hares'. They run 15 minutes before the other group starts, and mark the trail. They also put out false marks, in order to confuse you and have u getting lost. So it's not simply a run, it is more like a 'finding the trail run', and for ambitious trail-lookers (Or FRB -'front running bastards' as they are called in the HHH world) this can mean running in the wrong direction for 2 km, only to have to turn back when other find out that the trail is actually supposed to go the other way.

The trail is marked by signs called 'flour'... simply because it is... a pile of baking flour! And therefore quite easy to spot and find. They also draw check points (circles) and fake check points (3 lines) to have u confused. Once you hit a check point, of a 'flour' point, you should shout 'ON ON' as a sign to the runners behind you that you are on the right track.

Sounds silly? Well trust me, when I first heard it all I was like 'For real?!' but once we started running I understood it all much better. Runners get lost all the time and the shouting of 'on on!' to signal that u r on the right trail, is more or less crucial, not the least for slow runners.

There is a choice of a long run (about 10km but in hilly conditions so it feels like... 15 km) and a short run (about 6km and not as hilly). Some people simply walk the short trail and although I had planned to do the same, I couldn't help myself from running the long run once I was out there... It was simply too tempting! :)

The weather was humid and hot when we started off at 2pm at a hill next to Taihu Lake. After only 10 minutes of running/hiking/climbing up a huge hill, we were all soaking wet of sweat.. that's when I decided that I might as well run it, since I was already sweating so much... anyways, and on it went.

Like I said, since this was my first HHH run I had no idea to expect.... but honestly.. it was really a lot of great fun! Well, first of all, the running part -I LOVED, And running in the nature and through small Chinese country villages made the experience even better! Forget about cars and roads and running on concrete.... finally I got a taste of nature. Wonderful!

Me and my bf did a quite good effort seeing this was our first run. Around 2km from the goal there was a sign on the road saying 'beers are straight ahead'. This sign made all the FRB speed as if there was no tomorrow... and because of their excitement they all missed the marked right turn and ran an extra 4 km and ended up getting real lost. We were a bit behind the FRB but saw the sign, and ended up in the 'top 10' of people who'd finished the race. Not that this matters in any way... it's not a competition, but a fun run, but it was still nice to finish in the top (especially when u are competative like me) I think it took us around 1.5 hours to finish, and we finished even before the people who took the short run! Like I said: hilly conditions!!! A lot of climbing involved, both up and down (at some places u had to use your hands in order not to fall. Yes baby, we are talking real steep!)

Once everyone reached the end point there were 2 big eskys full of beers and water waiting for us and then followed the 'down down' ceremony... which is basically a time when u make fun of/humiliate everyone who has said or done something funny during the run. This might not sound like fun but it was actually quite hilarious. Three American guys were in charge of several speeches and called up people to the 'stage' where they were rewarded or penalised (both with a glass of beer) for various deeds. I was called up for 3 different reasons: 1. Being a Suzhou HHH, 2. Being a HHH virgin and 3. Having a Chinese character tattoo on my angle (this is another story, I will write more about this some other time but NO, I did not do this tattoo in China but when I was 16 and 'rebelious' and YES, I regret it very much!).

The ceremony also included 'baptizing' 2 new HHH as they had successfully participated in their second run. HHR all have silly names like 'No Balls' 'Bionic Bimbo' and 'King Piss' (yeah I know, ridiculous, I didn't come up with them). The new runners (2 Finns) were named 'Siemens Belly' (for his somewhat 'Buddha'-like belly) and 'Happy Finish'. The ceremony involved a lot of beers and some mud and is nothing I ever wish to be involved in...

After the 'down down' ceremony we were served dinner at a nearby restaurant. Then the Suzhou HHH took a mini bus back to Suzhou where we continued partying all nite long... If you like running and don't mind making fun of yourself I strongly recommend you to participate in a HHH-run. I know I will do it again! Also, I guess this is as close as u can get to a 'runner's club' in Suzhou.
