100 feet in the
air, dangling from a parachute and clothes drenched, Seong Min Kim (12)
extended his massive JSB asking sign out to be seen by his girlfriend, En Min
Saw (12), who stood on the beach; the sign read, “Will you go to JSB with me?”
He was met with an ecstatic ‘yes’, in
which Saw jumped into the ‘yes’ hole that Kim had dug in the beach. Smiles were
on everyone’s faces, though they all stood in disbelief: an asking, which had
been fantasized for years, had finally come true; somebody actually went to
great lengths to perform such an extravagant asking. When he finally came down
from the parasail, he met En Min with a huge hug, and it was time to take
photos. You could see the joy on both of their faces.
On the other side
of campus, there was another asking going on: Min Guk Kong (12) recreated a
scene from How I Met Your Mother by
making the “perfect date,” all in just two minutes! “It was one of the most
intimate asking’s I’ve seen!” exclaimed Nicholas Khor (12).
The entire week
of askings was full of wonderful surprises. People got super creative with
their askings, using parasails, cars, boxes, and so much more. One asking was
done by Jeremiah Worten (12), Linus Lim (12), and Alex Ruble (12). They rented
jets skis and rode in from the sea to ask their dates, Lydia Kim (12), Mandy
Lim (12), and Julia Jun (11), who were watching from the dorm, just to see
their painted chests spell out: JSB.
Yes, during the
last few weeks “love has been in the air” for it was JSB asking season. There
have been so many memorable askings this year for JSB, while at the same time,
there have been many romantic asks as well. JSB asking has been a Dalat
tradition for the longest time, and it is sure to keep up; many of the askings
this year will go down in Dalat’s history to be remembered by students for
generations to come.
