Arriving as early as 5pm at the run-site I noticed the rattan ball game was already in full swing. The participants were practising hard in case the game will be voted in as an Olympic sports.So engrossed were they that they were quite oblivious of the goings-on around them. Would they have noticed if an elephant were to saunter past them? Em! I wonder! If there is a nation-wide contest for hashes, why JB hash would knock the day-light out of the others. The vacant square patch behind the row of shops was wonderfully cleared by our hare Lansi(so I was told) to be used for the circle. What a brilliant idea!.

The run started with Lansi briefing us that it’s not a long run with four checks.”But
please don’t short cut lah,” he hollered. Straight down towards the end of the well-paved
road with the new factories on the left and empty plots of land on the right.Now, this is where the run-site ought to be located in the first place.The road is long and wide enough to accommodate a few dozen cars and it runs parallel to the side perimeter of the factories and
not their frontage which means away from prying eyes. Can future hares please take note? The trail took a left along the road and then into the interior. A group of SCBs comprising Terko Liang, Curly, Mean See and Mongol tailed back towards us and mumbled something like “the papers led to an escarpment further in and its too precarious for us to continue.” By the way Mongol is now a full-fledged member of the SCB club. Welcome, sir! Unlike the FRBs , we SCBs occasionally stop to appreciate nature and smell the flowers.

Back at the beer-wagon there were plentiful finger food offered, Yong tau foo and two varieties of chai kuay and water melons.At the circle it seems to me that Handsome relishes performing as the hash whip and seems tailor-made for it. An array of batangs and chee bais were displayed on ice and whipped for various wrong-doings. The hares and co-hares for consuming Heineken instead of our official Carlsberg.Pang Leo and Kimchi for arguing over finger-foods. Hey ladies, please grow up.

We adjourned to Restaurant 63 for our hash grub. Sumptuous dishes and three bottles of
Carlsberg were proffered and all Foc. Thank you, Lansi and Tan Geok Siew for an unforgettable evening. See ya all next Wednesday!

Across the causeway and across the seas.
