Serving Once Again

By Anonymous
Shannen Leong

On Friday, 22nd August, the junior class served the Penang community in Servathon. Knowing how tired they would be, the seniors took over the junior class store for the day.

As the bell rang marking the start of X-block, a bunch of students from elementary up to high school queued up in front of the store. The crowd was overwhelming for all the seniors as it was their first time working in the store since last semester. It took the seniors some time to adjust themselves to this familiar environment.

The candy, drinks, and freezie-side of the store was really busy but the junior class made it manageable beforehand by organizing the freezer really well so it was easy to find each freezie flavor. Despite the huge crowd, Jung En (12) still greeted each customer with a smile as she passed them a freezie.

The juniors also started selling ice cream cones this year and that tripped the seniors up. Even though the ice cream was frozen and difficult to scoop, both Peter Kim (12) and Sophia Ong (12) scooped a total of over twenty ice cream cones under fifteen minutes. The look on the customer's face as they handed them the ice cream cones was well worth the hand cramps.

Standing at the counter, Aaron Tan (12) took orders one after another. He even scribbled ice cream orders on his arm to make sure he didn't miss any of the orders. Working at least twice a week his entire junior year, Tan said, “It was fun to relive a little bit if the junior year experience, and it really made me miss it. I will miss this class and all the memories.”

Working in the junior class store once again was nostalgic for many of the seniors. It was like a trip down memory lane. It brought back many memories from junior year and it was a great way to serve the Dalat community once again.

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...
