Crushing it at the Cove

By Anonymous
Jonathon Chinn

On Saturday, April 14, the seniors served a breakfast to the hardworking junior class and later followed this up by having a fun class party at the Cove in the evening.

At 10 o’clock on Saturday, the junior class walked through the doors of the Student Center and were met with rapturous applause and a plethora of food options. The senior class had just spent the last hour rushing around the Student Center to clean it up and make it look presentable. When the juniors arrived to a warm welcome and a pleasant surprise of a breakfast, they couldn’t help but feel appreciated. Seong-Min Kim (11) summed up the thoughts of his whole class by saying, “I walked in and everyone was congratulating us. I felt really special. We just worked really hard for the seniors and we didn’t expect anything from them.”

It was a great moment for both classes, and the kind gesture made conversation easier. The seniors had a great time serving the juniors, but they had an even greater time afterward when the benefits of their morning's work came through. The seniors had eaten a lot, but they had not eaten everything. The remaining food was all left for the seniors to gobble up, and gobble it up they did.

After a fun morning filled with work, the class was treated to a party at The Cove, which was hosted by Natalie Ryan and her family. The class was met by a little bit of rain, meaning the pool was off limits, but it all turned out fine as dinner was consumed under a roof. Just like in the morning, everyone brought delicious food for dinner and dessert, and each dish was enjoyed to the fullest.

Each class member made their own fun that night, playing cards, playing chess, swimming in the reopened pool, or just talking to one another. Some of the boys even formed a circle and hit a ball back and forth between each other. In the end, it was a very relaxing evening for the seniors to come and chill, basking in the company of their closest friends. It was the perfect way to end the perfect day.

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...
