After Sneak Dinner

 By Darryl Dwumfour

It would be an understatement to say that none of us seniors knew what we were getting into when attending the After Sneak Dinner. Jasmine Hassan (12) said, "Before the senior sneak dinner, I didn't know what to expect. For all I knew, it could have turned out to be completely uncoordinated."

However, not only were our expectations met—they were exceeded.

Upon arrival, each Senior had a chance to create their passport. We went through immigration which was just a series of minor questions. After that, we had photos taken to install into our makeshift passports. Once finished with our passports, we walked into the Vintage Chapel where the dinner was being held.

Entering the chapel, we could see pictures of countries around the world hung up. The room represented an airplane with fake windows and a seatbelt sign. Once we were seated, the 'flight attendants" gave us a safety demonstration. After the briefing, we were allowed to eat. The food was the best part of the whole night. There was food from all over the world; kimbap from Korea, Tacos from Mexico, Char Koay Teow from Malaysia, Burgers from America, Butter Chicken Malasa from India, and Fried Rice from Thailand. According to Lauren Worten (12), "The butter chicken masala was bussin." The food was phenomenal, and I would come to any event the Juniors host if it involved food.

After dinner, we played Kahoot which involved facts about our classmates. The most exciting topic was Chris Jang (12), having relatives in North Korea. Later we were served a banana split as dessert. After feasting on our dinner, I had no room for dessert, but as Jay Lohman (12) said, "There is always a second stomach for dessert."

Overall, we seniors had a great time. A quote from Natalie Khor (12) can sum up the night: "It was such a remarkable experience because we went in with low expectations, but were blown away by all the effort that they put into not only decorations but also the food and making the night unforgettable.”

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...
