A Willy Wonky Dinner

By

By Luis Vieira

The Juniors enter the harbor hall for the After-JSB Dinner and have their creation turned into a chaotic mess. Tables turned upside down, seniors on all fours to be used as chairs, and a table surrounded by Milo cows. It was surely a sight for sore eyes. A Wonky mess. For the After-JSB Dinner, the seniors have a few hours to use the juniors’ theme's and play to create a parody of their event. The theme this year was Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, where then the seniors turned it into Willy Wonky. Being a Wonky adaptation to the well-known Wonka Factory, the seniors messed around with the table arrangements and the decorations.

The plays were mostly improvised, with some accidents that were lucky to be funny and add to the experience. The fast schedule changes added to the sense of chaos, and the seniors had to adapt as fast and well as possible. We also had an honorable tribute from Tae Woo Song (12) back to Daniel Lim (11) in the form of an epic rap covered by Trevor Nichols (12) on the trumpet, Noah Lee (12) on the saxophone, and Ryan Chew (12) on the cajon.

Breakfast for dinner was the junior's meal, with a promise of Milo. Just with every pour of a cup, the amount of milo became less and less, with the junior's faces more and more disappointed, due to the lack of Milo that was prepared for the dinner.

At least this time, Caleb Jun (11) prayed for our meal, unlike the night prior when he forgot. "The best part of the After-JSB Dinner were the disco ball and the fog machine", said Joshua Emmanuel (12) about his opinion about the evening.

As a new student at Dalat, I had a lot of fun both at JSB and the After-JSB Dinner and respect and acknowledge everyone’s hard work and effort to make those evenings unique and memorable for everyone.

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...
