Where in the World did Jacky’s Wallet Go?

 By Jacky Park

Last week the seniors went to Redang for their Senior Sneak, and everything went well during that time except the fact that Jacky Park (12) lost his wallet during the trip.

All seniors were highly encouraged to bring a decent amount of money because since the pandemic was still around, they had to enjoy their time inside the hotel by using the facilities they provided. In fact there were quite a few things they could enjoy because the hotel was connected to a beautiful beach where snorkeling , beach volleyball, kayaking etc. was available. Jacky, thinking he wouldn’t have enough money, decided to bring 550 ringgit to Sneak and told everyone he was “prepared for the fun”.

The trip to Redang took about 8 hours in total, so hardly any seniors used any money on the first day. On the second day, seniors really started to have fun out on the beach doing various activities. Jacky was excited to go snorkeling with Addy, Chor Ee, Sabrina, Maggie, and Jiheon. Chor Ee paid for Jacky’s snorkeling fees because he told her that he left his wallet in his room and was too lazy to go get it. She was kind enough to pay for him, with a promise that he would pay her back at dinner.

After Jacky and his group came back from snorkeling, he went back to his hotel room for his money to pay Chor Ee back. He searched for 5 minutes, couldn’t find it. He searched for 10 minutes, still couldn’t find it. After 30 minutes of searching all his belongings and the room, Jacky could not get a clue of where he put his wallet. He immediately told the sponsors about his missing wallet, and explained to Chor Ee about this as well. Chor Ee, surprisingly not surprised, said, “I knew it bro, why you like this?”

Jacky frantically searched for his wallet until the last day of Sneak, but could not find it. Along with all the fun he had there, Jacky lost his unused 550 ringgit on the second day of Sneak and instead earned a 70 ringgit debt from borrowing money from his friends. He couldn’t keep the one rule that Mr. Steinkamp reminded us multiple times before and during sneak, which was DBS, meaning Don’t Be Stupid.
