A Dark Issue Beneath the Freedom of Selecting One’s Lunch

By

An unexpected growth in number of “N”s was found in seniors recently, as they failed to reach class before the second bell after lunch.

This year the class of 2020 finally obtained the freedom of choosing their own lunch outside of school control. Many seniors rush outside the school gate every lunch time and purchase the food of their preferences. Some travel short distances to places like Chicken Rice, while some might undergo a long-distance drive to somewhere farther, such as Tesco.

Unfortunately, student drivers who seek lunch too far away from school will sometimes not make it to class on time, receiving a penalty from the school.

According to the school handbook, students who fail to arrive to class on time will receive an “N”. 10 of these “N”s results in a detention, and more could even lead to an in-school suspension.

Recently many of the teachers who teach F Block right after lunch were very frustrated by this recent problem as valuable learning time of the students was lost. Moreover, students who arrive late and rush into the classroom bother and interrupt the flow of the lesson. The frustration and the anxiety of the teachers are increasing by the recurring problem.

However, these problems could be prevented through various ways. A simple method would be eating from the school canteen, or going out to places not so far away from campus. However, the method most students and teachers recommend is to order food from outside through Eagle Express.

Eagle Express is a young business run by fellow seniors, Jong Min Park, Jordan Chang, Gloria Kim, Jerald Ooi, and Philip Yeoh, that delivers outside food like chicken rice, fried rice, and Char Koay Teow to students during lunch time.

“Knowing this pressing issue, the Eagle Express team delivers food to students by 12:15 pm, leaving up to 25 minutes of free time to enjoy the lunch period. Through Eagle Express, seniors afraid of arriving to class late can enjoy the same delicious food with just an extra Ringgit, and they get 20 minutes of free lunch time in return!” says Jong Min Park (12), the co-founder of Eagle Express.

Many young junior gourmets are very excited to obtain the privilege of choosing their own lunch next year. But they better not waste too much time enjoying their food - as they will certainly not feel good after sprinting back to campus.

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...
