Where in the World did Jacky’s Wallet Go?

 By Jacky Park

Last week the seniors went to Redang for their Senior Sneak, and everything went well during that time except the fact that Jacky Park (12) lost his wallet during the trip.

All seniors were highly encouraged to bring a decent amount of money because since the pandemic was still around, they had to enjoy their time inside the hotel by using the facilities they provided. In fact there were quite a few things they could enjoy because the hotel was connected to a beautiful beach where snorkeling , beach volleyball, kayaking etc. was available. Jacky, thinking he wouldn’t have enough money, decided to bring 550 ringgit to Sneak and told everyone he was “prepared for the fun”.

The trip to Redang took about 8 hours in total, so hardly any seniors used any money on the first day. On the second day, seniors really started to have fun out on the beach doing various activities. Jacky was excited to go snorkeling with Addy, Chor Ee, Sabrina, Maggie, and Jiheon. Chor Ee paid for Jacky’s snorkeling fees because he told her that he left his wallet in his room and was too lazy to go get it. She was kind enough to pay for him, with a promise that he would pay her back at dinner.

After Jacky and his group came back from snorkeling, he went back to his hotel room for his money to pay Chor Ee back. He searched for 5 minutes, couldn’t find it. He searched for 10 minutes, still couldn’t find it. After 30 minutes of searching all his belongings and the room, Jacky could not get a clue of where he put his wallet. He immediately told the sponsors about his missing wallet, and explained to Chor Ee about this as well. Chor Ee, surprisingly not surprised, said, “I knew it bro, why you like this?”

Jacky frantically searched for his wallet until the last day of Sneak, but could not find it. Along with all the fun he had there, Jacky lost his unused 550 ringgit on the second day of Sneak and instead earned a 70 ringgit debt from borrowing money from his friends. He couldn’t keep the one rule that Mr. Steinkamp reminded us multiple times before and during sneak, which was DBS, meaning Don’t Be Stupid.

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

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

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...
