Bicep Society: Flexing in Koh Sam

Wei Sing Goh

With veins popping and blood rushing through his arms, Ning Kang Chia (12), pushed himself as he finished his last set of bicep curls. Bicep Society is a newly-formed group of student-athletes dedicated to prioritizing their biceps as the most important muscle group to work out.

Upon reaching the beaches at Koh Samui, the members of Bicep Society, consisting of Hasung Cho (12), Jerald Lim (12), Wei Sing Goh (12), Ning Kang Chia (12), Woo Young Chung (12), Sam Huang (12), Keito Watanabe (12), and Sheldon Ang (12), decided to put their hard work on display by taking a group photo of all the members flexing. Standing in the warm ocean water, the members flexed like they had never flexed before. Arms were violently shaking in an attempt to make the biceps look as big as physically possible.

On the afternoon of the island hopping tour during Sneak, another group picture was taken at the peak of Emerald Lake. Again, the members flexed as hard as they could. With sleeves rolled up and ecstatic smiles plastered over their faces, they celebrated to the creation of Bicep Society along with the close bonds that were shared among the members. A third group photo was then taken at the very last minute on the boat ride back to shore after a long day of island hopping.

Although the sizes of biceps varied among the members, it did not matter. The goal of Bicep Society was to create a close community of members who worked out together and pushed each other to their limits. “Bicep Society is not and will never be a competition of who has the biggest biceps,” as stated by the founder, Hasung Cho (12).

When asked about the origin of Bicep Society, Cho (12) stated, “It all started when Jerald (12) and I realized that the true workout is not for strength, not for sports, but for the good looks that can be maintained in the future.”

Along with the great group photos taken at Senior Sneak (see below), the seniors had a great time in Koh Samui.

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

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

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...
