"Night Market Bites: The Seniors’ After Sneak Highlights" by Jane Lee

By

Where is a great dinner place with a fun atmosphere and good food to enjoy with friends? Many Dalat students would answer the night market as a top choice for a fun dinner with friends.

After returning from a week of fun during the Senior Sneak in Gopeng, the senior class went to the night market to grab dinner and enjoy their last day off before returning to school. Except it wasn’t the usual Tuesday Tanjung Bungah night market they attended. Instead, they headed into Dalat to enter “the Senior Night Market,” hosted by the juniors, who captured the essence of the night market that is loved by many Dalat students.

Each year, after the seniors return from their Senior Sneak, the juniors host an “After Sneak Dinner” to welcome them back and host a night for more bonding with friends. As the seniors headed towards the Heritage Chapel, the junior class’s laughter and cheering welcomed them. Crowded into the chapel, the food stalls made by the juniors lined the edges of the wall, and the whole room was filled to the brim with tables, creating a similar bustling atmosphere to a night market.

The stalls offered different drinks and cuisines, such as Mexican, Korean, and Malaysian food. Each stall was handmade, and the effort was clearly seen in each brushstroke and prop for all the decorations. 

Not only were the decorations beautifully made, but the entertainment was a true highlight during the After Sneak Dinner. The dancers stole the crowd away with amazement as they went through various songs with killer choreography. The entertainment did not end there. The juniors hosted a trivia competition using many seniors’ names as the questions. School photos of the seniors from their elementary days popped up on the big screen as everyone “awwed” and burst out in laughter. The juniors’ dancing stole the night away, but the seniors also got to run the stage with their karaoke. Groups of seniors went up on the stage for a karaoke session, which provided great entertainment for the singers and the audience.

Reminiscing back to when the seniors hosted their After Sneak Dinner last year, and knowing the amount of effort it took, the juniors’ work did not go unnoticed. The juniors’ version of the night market provided an unforgettable memory for the juniors themselves. 

The junior class president, Hsien Ler Sim (11), says, “The After Sneak Dinner was truly a spectacle of teamwork. We only had two weeks to plan, organize, and prepare the dinner. However, because of the leadership of ExCom and hard work of many classmates that the dinner exceeded my expectations. It made my heart melt to see everyone putting their time and effort for a single cause which is to give the seniors an enjoyable night.” 

Like Sim said, the juniors executed an enjoyable and unforgettable night for the seniors. The 2026 senior class appreciates it greatly and is even more excited to see what the juniors can accomplish for JSB!

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...
