Memorable Monday

By Anonymous

            On Monday, January 30th, a group of friends, Wei Sing Goh (12), Jessica Ross (12), and I went to Gurney Plaza to watch Split. The actor, James McAvoy, was remarkably good in acting twenty-four characters who have different personalities. The cinema was full of laughter as Hedwig, one of the many characters, resembled Wei Sing in many ways. All in all, the movie was an emotional rollercoaster that made the audience gasp and tense up.
            After the movie, we went cafe hopping in George Town. Famous for its live music at night, we went to Micke’s Place that is located on Love Lane. The ambiance was astounding, as it attracts some very talented musicians from the local and tourist pool. The live band was blasting out pop music that could be heard from afar. As Ross and Goh said, “I've never seen Penang more alive,” and “Although I’ve been living in Penang my whole life, I didn't realize there was an entirely different side to it.” Moreover, we could see workers from different cafes standing outside the street to attract customers to their establishments. Again, this was an eye-opener to us because we have never seen this sight of Penang before.
            Next up, we walked to our favorite burger shack, Junk, which is located two streets away from Micke’s Place. Compared to Micke’s Place, the atmosphere was exotic; for they had a peculiar taste in music that captivated youngsters’ attention. As we were excited to explore more cafes, we stopped by Chulia Court, which is famous for being the only heritage fusion restaurant, music bar, and boutique guesthouse in George Town. Although they played trendy music that stole our hearts, the service was a little unsatisfactory compared to the other two cafes.
       With a delightful heart, we ended our journey in hopes of continuing it some other day. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience; and it would remain as a memorable moment to us all before our high school journey ends.

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...
