Winner Winner Chicken Dinner in Penang

By Anonymous

2 March 2019 was D-Day for the Class of 2019; it was a paintball war between Team Trevor and Team Nicholas. The Senior Excom planned a paintball event for the senior class at the Penang War Museum. Early Saturday morning, with excitement and fear, the senior class met at Dalat to head towards the battlefield located just near Penang’s airport.

As soon as the class arrived, they split into two fair teams to start the battle. Team Trevor was known for confidence, but they only had one goal. Their main target was Nathan Chand (12). Team Trevor had eyes only towards Nathan before heading into the battlefield. On the other hand, Team Nicholas was looking for the win by touching the opponent’s base. Both teams were filled with confidence and hunger.

Both teams stepped into the arena that would soon be a paint shed. The marshals did a countdown before teams could rush towards their hiding spots. When “zero” was heard around the battlefield, both teams dashed near the barrels to take cover. Gunshots from all sides kept the intensity at a high level for both teams.

After fifteen minutes had gone by, Team Trevor made a huge push towards Team Nicholas’s base by getting rid of an enormous number of enemies. It was impossible for Team Nicholas’s men to push forward, so they were forced back into their base. Team Trevor could not have asked for a better chance. They made their final push and ended up defeating Team Nicholas.

Round 2 was no different to Round 1. It was still an intense game, but Team Trevor was too dominant for Team Nicholas to handle and move forward; obviously, Round 2 was no other but Team Trevor’s victory. While both teams were heading back to Dalat, Nathan Chand (12) and Alex Ruble (12) taunted Team Nicholas’s men by saying, “We were too good. It’s too easy out here.”

It might have been a competitive battle between the two teams, but it brought great bond for the class before graduating in three months.

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

“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...
