Shark Attack is Finally Back!

By Anonymous

“We wanted to have a beach theme party, and we tried to bring in a little more ‘crazy’—sharks seemed to fit into the equation,” explained Peter Lee (12), StuCo’s Public Relations, about StuCo’s first event called ‘Welcome Back, Shark Attack.’
This event was held on campus on Friday evening, 4th September 2015. At 6:15p.m., 103 high school students gathered in the lower campus’ amphitheater to start the event. They were then separated into 12 teams, with 8 to 10 students on each team; the team namers were as follows: J Puffs, The Nae Nae’s, Crimson Tide, Bing Bong, Team 6, Ultimate Fried Rice, Pooper Scoopers, Team 9, Dongs, Team 11, Jarrod’s Junior, and Shaion is cool. Each team was assigned to different areas, including Upper Field, the gym, and the outdoor basketball court.
At Upper Field, four teams played waterslide kickball, in which students aimed for high scores by running around water and soap covered tarps to kiddie pool bases.
“Even though the bases were dirty and wet, we all had lots of fun watching others slip and fall,” stated Yeorin Yun (11).
At the gym, four other teams played shark-and-dolphin dodgeball games. The game was called ‘shark-and dolphin’ because each team had a ‘shark’ who could run outside of his or her team’s boundaries and hit the opponents, and the ‘dolphin’ could save hit players by touching them.
At the outdoor basketball court, four other teams played American football with water balloons. The goal of the game was to have students get a touchdown by passing or running a water balloon without it breaking.
When the games were over, the teams rotated until each station was completed. The winner of the game was announced at the end of the day, with J Puffs, a group of 10 seniors, winning 1st place and the Pooper Scoopers, a group of 10 seniors and juniors, winning 2nd place. The prize for the 1st place team was a RM5 StuCo coupon for each teammate, while the prize for the 2nd place was a RM3 StuCo coupon for each teammate.
After the games, at around 8p.m., all players gathered at the amphitheater to watch the movie Soul Surfer. While watching this, students munched on pizza, hotdogs, baked cookies, Shark Attack popsicles, marshmallows, and drinks. Students were free to watch the movie or hang out on the campus until 10p.m..

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...
