Stole the Show

By Anonymous

My uncle and aunt, the guest SEW speakers at Dalat International School, came to refresh our souls with God. Do you get tired of the same old grind? The same routine of life? Waking up early, eating breakfast, and arriving at school on time. Last week—SEW week—though, was something special.

 I believe the purpose of SEW is to take a break from the normal weeks of school to give a chance for students and staff to really get right with God, so that they can continue to build a strong foundation for the rest of the school year.

This year, SEW was special to me because my aunt and uncle were the guest speakers for the week. It was an honor to be the MC for most of the nights and to introduce them to my friends and teachers. They were not planning on coming, but because of my request, they accepted the invitation.

Opening Night – Lights, camera, action! The MC for the first night was me, and I was super nervous. There was an amazing turnout, and it felt like the entire school was there. The whole Harbor Hall was full and ready to start SEW. That night was special, and I can tell you why. The spiritual leadership class and I were tasked to organize that night. We had to handle the music, the lights, the stations, the workflow, and much more.

At first, it felt crazy and the madness was getting to the leadership class, but when the evening came around, something special happened. The Holy Spirit came into the Harbor Hall that night. He was working within the students. Students were praying for other students. Teachers and parents worshipped with the students.

All the people in that chapel were worshiping the good God Almighty. They were standing up, arms raised, and singing with their hearts! It was a night to remember. It was a time for vulnerability and broken barriers, a time to get right with God. That night was something that nobody will forget, and the leadership class and I are extremely thankful that God used us for his glory. God stole the show that night.

We want to thank everyone for coming, and we are trying to get more events like that going throughout the school year. Continue to abide in Christ daily, and I hope you will stick to what you learned. My leadership development teacher said the following: “Do it for the Audience of one”; remember that when you are performing for the Lord.

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...
