Cheers to the Journey

 It's about that time of year again, the clock counting down, students don't know what to feel towards the end of a school year. "Have I done enough?", "O shoot! What am I going to do all summer?"

 These types of thoughts naturally come into the minds of students, and they might cause uneasiness but...

 have peace and breathe because everything is going to be okay.

 AP's are approaching, and its ride or die time. The pressure is on, and all that work is about to be tested. All those countless hours put in, extra teachers’ sessions, caffeine runs, and sleepless nights. “Can I do this?”

 Everyone handles adversity differently, and right now, people are preparing themselves in
their own different ways but...

 have peace and breathe because everything is going to be okay.

 Like I said earlier, APs are approaching and the school year is almost done, but there is still
time, and there are still cool things that happen on the island. Recently, one of these was the big 3X3 pro basketball tournament, where teams from all around the world came to Penang to compete for a spot at the master’s tournament. Dalat School was one of the partners of this tournament, and so a bunch of students helped this weekend, taking a necessary study breaks to watch quality basketball.

 In this time of busyness and tiredness, it’s important to be efficient with your time and to work hard, but also to take good breaks. Refreshment is the key to rejuvenating the mind and keeping sharp. 

 To the seniors out there, we have less than thirty days left. Everything up to this moment has been a blessing, and it’s time to finish strong. Be intentional with everything that you do, make sure the people in your life know how much you value them, do things that you will remember forever, and go make an impact before we leave.

 Remeber: have peace and breathe because everything is going to be okay.

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...
