Most Likely to…Re-wards

 What comes to mind when Hollywood and musical eras are mentioned? 2019 JSB, The Awards! After a long year of preparation, the juniors successfully pulled off one of the best and funniest JSBs to honor this year’s seniors. As the night came to an end, Nicholas Khor (12), the senior class president, announced, “Juniors, you are invited to the After JSB Dinner!” 

 After JSB Dinner, also called a spoof, is where seniors find very small mistakes during JSB and recreate them in order to show appreciation for the juniors. However, this also meant that seniors returned home late on the previous night and arrived at school early in the morning the next day. As tiring as it may sound, seniors were still more than willing to come early, as we were excited for the last workday we had together with each other and the excitement for the dinner. 

 Working from 9am to around 4pm, the seniors came up with a new spoof theme—Bollywood: the Re-wards—to contrast with the theme by the juniors on the previous night. During the time of preparation, seniors came up with an entertainment plan, cooked food, and decorated the Vintage Chapel. Although everyone was exhausted by the end of the day, all tiredness from the seniors left their faces as the juniors walked into the room at 6pm. 

 Compared to the actual JSB, the After JSB Dinner was put together in a way shorter amount of time, so the quality would never be as good as what the juniors put on for us. Even so, in terms of entertainment, it was still very interesting and enjoyable. According to Nicole Lee (11), “I really liked the entertainment. It was really funny to see what we got wrong for JSB.” 

 It was also very enjoyable for the seniors to put on a memorable event for the juniors.

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...
