Junior-Senior Ice Cream Date

Kylie Toh

The clock struck 4p as the seniors waited excitedly at the Student Center for the juniors. “I remember this like it was yesterday! I can’t believe that it has been a year!” Lilian Li (12) recalled about coming back from Servathon a year ago. The seniors from the Class of 2016 planned a party for the juniors as a token of appreciation for working so hard that day. Therefore, the seniors from the Class of 2017 decided to do the same for the current juniors.
Those who had a free X-Block went early to help set up the Student Center for the event. They arranged tables, prepared drinks, and brought out the ice cream. After making the necessary preparations, they lined up on opposite sides of the Student Center, ready to greet the sweaty, exhausted juniors. Huge smiles were plastered on the junior’s paint- stained faces as they came into the room and saw rows of drinks and vanilla ice cream cones prepared for them.
“I didn’t even know that you guys had this planned! It’s so nice! I was so happy when I got the ice cold drinks.” Ke-Erh Huang (11) exclaimed.
            The juniors of the Class of 2018 divided into small groups and went to six local parks around Tanjung Bungah. They scraped off the dirty old paint from playgrounds and replaced it with shiny new paint, raked leaves, planted flowers, and even cleaned the parks up.
“I had a super awesome time there! It was so much fun having the day off from school to work with friends. I got to bond with so many people that I don’t usually talk to in school too!” Areeya Kunawaradisai (11) gushed.
 The junior and senior class had a great time bonding over 100-Plus and vanilla ice cream as they looked forward to their Merdeka Day break which was the next day.

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...
