Postponement of Sneak

By

 By Sophia Kang

Exciting talks and whispers of Sneak were heard through the school week before Sneak. Packing lists and plans were made, and students were looking forward to the trip. Some wanted to go to the spa, others wanted to kayak, and a few others were excited for the buffet breakfast at the hotel every morning. Unfortunately, just a few days before Sneak, it was announced that Sneak had gotten postponed due to Covid-19. 

A few students felt that “the postponement was a safe choice” – Liwei (Grade 12). The postponement of Sneak was to prevent further Covid complications, especially during the trip. Because of the spike in Covid cases these few weeks in Malaysia, there have been concerns about going on the trip. The postponement of Sneak was a good decision for the safety of the seniors so that we could enjoy Sneak without any worries later on.

A few other students were a little sad by the postponement, primarily because of their effort to pack for the trip. Alina Yeoh (Grade 12) said, “I’m kind of disappointed because I packed a lot for Sneak during the weekends, and it got postponed.” We had plenty to pack for the trip. 

Tawan Teekaariyapak (Grade 12) also said, “I didn’t want to go with some people missing,” as a few students couldn’t come to Sneak, and it wouldn’t be as fun without all the seniors present. 

The Covid-19 had ruined a lot of plans for people these past three years, including travels, meet-ups, and many other activities that people usually do. But students are hopeful that the Covid situation will improve and that everything will work out. 

I hope that the seniors will be able to spend quality time with each other before we move on to our separate destinations. For now, we will enjoy each other’s company in school and classes.

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

“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...
