Store of the Year

By

By Josia de Jager

The new juniors are trying hard to get the store up and running. Off to a slow start with a few days’ delay to the store opening, things are starting to pick up. They are working hard and dealing with this new responsibility.

One change the juniors this year decided to make is the price of freezies. Despite the class of 2024 having a freezie price of two ringgit, the class of 2025 decided to change it back to one ringgit.

The decreased price is not a blind move from the juniors; they have thought it through. By attracting people with those sweet and delicious freezies, they expect the customers to buy other snacks as well.

To the shock of Danny Pham (12), the senior, the grape candies that he loves are more expensive now. This might be to balance out the decreased price of the freezies. On the other hand, he hasn’t complained about the freezie prices.

Another incredible sight is that Uncle Anthony (Auntie Claudia’s husband) is still serving strong to help the Junior Class Store, especially since he has been serving there now for many years. Both he and Auntie Claudia are the anchors of the Junior Class Store. They keep it from going shipwrecked!

In order to promote a more equal workload between students, a new policy has been made, requiring juniors to work at least 30 hours. This should help out with the big load put on the shoulders of the Excom and on Auntie Claudia and Uncle Anthony.

When asked the question, “How would you describe the junior class store?” Andy Tan (11) said, “It’s a bumpy road, but we’re getting there.” Despite the difficulties and responsibilities involved in being a junior, it seems there is hope for the year.

Overall, the juniors will need some practice and trial and error to figure out how the whole system works, but hopefully, they will all work together to get the work done and to figure out the problems that come up.

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...
