Dalat International School: Senior Scribble

Felicia Teoh At approximately 8 o’clock on Friday morning, January 20 th , the girls’ and the boys’ varsity basketball teams boarded the bus to Kuala Lumpur. During the six-hour bus ride, some people watched Korean dramas, some played cards, some listened to music, some talked, and others slept. The students arrived to Flamingo Hotel at around 2:30p, where they rested for an hour before the girls’ game at 4:30p. After the first game of the ISKL invitational, with an 11-48 loss, the girls showered and then cheered on the boys, who had a 54-38 win against ISKL. A little discouraged by the loss but mostly famished, the girls then headed on to dinner at Suzy’s corner, which served wonderful steak, curry, satay, naan, and much more. Stomachs filled and satisfied smiles on their faces, the girls trekked back to the hotel, depantsing each other and shrieking along the way.  The girls had an hour till curfew, so they all gathered in the freshmen’s room.

Sheldon Ang The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) hosted their annual basketball tournament. Both the men’s and women’s basketball team traveled to Kuala Lumpur to compete in this two-day event. This trip was my last time traveling with the basketball team.  The “tournament” was frustrating for us. We went to Kuala Lumpur, expecting to play 2-3 different teams. However, some problems arose, and ISKL could not find any other team to participate in their tournament. In the end, we played three games against the same team. During our last matchup with ISKL, we easily blew them out by 30 points. We came into the first game feeling very confident. We were ready to play and had sufficient rest in the hotel room. However, we were wrong. By the time the first quarter ended, we only scored 12 points—which is unacceptable to our standard of play. In the end, we played an awful game. We were not focused, and nothing was going our way. We won the game, but we certainly d...

Hasung Cho On Saturday, January 21 st , the birthday boy, Mathias Maurin (12), led us through a set of exhilarating experiences, ranging from taking a bite of scrumptious, succulent steak to exploring a dark gutter filled with suspense. It was around 4 when we, a group of invited senior fellows, gathered at the pool, not knowing of the imminent adventure. All of us merely came with an expectation to participate it a normal, chill birthday party, but none of us imagined the birthday party to bring out such joy in us. Our little adventure started off with barbecuing a huge slab of red meat on a grill, along with some sweet potatoes and potatoes. The beef's savory aroma made us clench in hunger, but there was absolutely nothing we could do but patiently wait for the meat to be done. At last, our dear birthday boy announced that the dinner was ready; and all of us jumped in excitement like little kids. With a delicious steak on our plate, we hurriedly gulped down the birth...
