BBQ in Pink

By Anonymous

On Saturday, 12 September, with the sky cloudy and the air muggy, swarms of Dalat students, teachers, and staff enjoyed community and fellowship at the PTO barbecue.
Staying true to form, rain pelted down as the students and teachers enjoyed the continuation of a relaxing weekend. Despite this rain, the PTO cooks plated various kinds of delicious delicacies, such as hot dogs and burgers. Their pink shirts brought a shocking color to the gray and hazy sky. The crowd delighted in the community and the adventure of the blusterous storm.
 "This year they had more options for us to eat, and it was better than last year," said Calvin Thompson (12) with excitement.
Everyone enjoyed the delicious meal. Students, friends, and family all had time to bond with each other during the BBQ.
Along with ample food, the PTO had other opportunities for the community to engage one another. In front of Jaffray dorm, students crowded the table to get their faces painted and nails polished in order to help sponsor kids who are in need. The event was a great success. Though the rain could have discouraged the Saturday fun, the community joined to make memories and were able to bless others besides themselves.
Once the barbecue settled down, students gathered under the shelter of their dorm living rooms, sharing stories of the excitement of the day.
 “Aubrey found a spider in her sausage,” smirked Grace Chang (10). And with that the dorm rolled out in laughter and gasps.
 The PTO barbecue was just another way for the community to join together enjoying games, laughter, and newly created memories.

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

By Anonymous
Yusoof Monawvil PENANG, MA - As the deadline drew near and the stars aligned in the night sky above the majestic waters of the Strait of Malacca, one particular Dalat student—Yusoof Monawvil (12), despite a plethora of school events to select and report on—opted instead to spend a remarkably well-wasted 24 minutes staring at a blank Google Docs page, fruitlessly drawing up and shooting down brainstormed ideas.  In a moment of sheer and undeniable epiphany, Monawvil deemed it only fitting to self-referentially satirize his own ingrained incompetence and dingbattery. Commenting on the flash of insight, Monawvil quoted himself, saying: “It all just kinda made sense. I went on DISCourse to look at the little rubric thing Ms. Grad and Mr. Hieber posted, and I checked if I was following all of the guidelines... And I technically am/was; [N]ot like there’s any specific direktive [sic] prohibiting self-quoting.”  In a turn of events, Monawvil did come to find his self-quoting en...

"Spikeball, Swimming, and Sickness: The Remnants of Senior Sneak" by Ee Rynn Ong

By
“Guys, I think we’re here,” said Jonathan Ooi (12) as he peeked out of the lorry to catch the first glimpse of our Senior Sneak location. This year’s Senior Sneak was held in Nomad Adventure, Gopeng, and the organizers planned many activities for the Class of 2026, ranging from traditional games like congkak and batu seremban to adrenaline-pumping ropes courses and whitewater rafting. These scheduled activities proved to be some of the best highlights of the trip, but top of that, the seniors were also given some daily free time to chat, explore, and relax. Josh Stevens (12) had come prepared for this with two spikeball nets, which immediately attracted attention from people eager to spend time in the outdoor sun. The next five days saw spikeball veterans and newcomers alike, spending their precious one and a half hours daily around the unassuming circular net, smashing the yellow ball in hopes of a victory.  Caleb Evans (12) was one of the newbies to spikeball, learning how the g...

“I Miss Her” by Nikhil Pillay

By
While most people had a fun week for mid-semester break, whether it was spent with family, or with friends on impact trips, no one had a more emotionally confusing week than Judson Kenneth Robert Nosker (12).  In the light of recent events, Judson, despite all odds, had gotten in a relationship with one of his classmates, and as the break started, he had started to spend a lot of time with her. While with her, he started to experience a new level of joy and completeness that he had never felt before. In the words of Judson Nosker, “The first half of the break was good, but the rest of it was horrible.”  The reason for such a quote and the roller coaster of emotion was because half way through the break, disaster had struck. Judson’s girlfriend had gone on a trip with her family to Thailand, leaving Judson all alone. For the rest of the week, Judson was in a state of longing for her presence.  His friends have reported numerous occasions when Judson would be sitting with t...
