"After Sneak Dinner: A Night (Market) To Remember" by Yewon Lee

By

“You’re invited to an after-sneak dinner hosted by the Class of 2027!” 

As weary seniors filed out of the bus returning from their annual sneak, a host of juniors stood at the exit, handing out dinner invitations exclusive to the Class of 2026 and their sponsors. Pocketing the cream-colored invitations in their duffels and backpacks, the seniors, with growing anticipation for the following dinner, reunited with their families and headed home for some much-needed rest.

On the following Monday, succeeding an eventful Senior Sneak at Nomad Adventure in Gopeng, Ipoh, a crowd of excited seniors poured into Heritage Chapel, buzzing with anticipation. The after-sneak dinner, carefully planned and assembled by their subsequent juniors, was a long-standing tradition that both classes looked forward to each year.

Met with a crowd of welcoming juniors roaring with applause at the doors, the seniors marveled at the decorations upon entry. This year’s celebration was themed around a vibrant night market, as evidenced by the lively space filled with colorful lights, cardboard truck setups, and creative decorations that captured the energy of Penang’s classic street fairs. Strings of warm lights hung across the room, instantly creating a festive atmosphere that welcomed everyone inside. The food trucks, each decorated with colorful designs, not only served as fun backdrops but also embodied the effort poured into the evening by the juniors. 

According to Eliza Setzfand (11), the Junior ExCom had planned the evening around the Class of 2026’s junior class store theme of “Munchtrucks,” creating a fun play on the words with multiple dinner options for the seniors to pick from individual food trucks.

The lively decorations and food, however, were just the beginning of a meticulously planned evening. When asked about the highlights of the after-sneak dinner, the unanimous answer was the entertainment. The lineup for the evening was as follows: interactive games, dances, trivia, and a chaotic karaoke session. All seniors were united by their appreciation for the entertainment and only divided by their personal preferences to which. 

“My favorite part was the dancing that they prepared. It was really funny and well planned,” Joshua Stevens (12) noted.

“I thought the evening was really creative. My favorite part was when we sang 'Eenie Meenie' by Justin Bieber during karaoke,” Anna Chand (12) remarked.

With entertainment being central to the event, the night was filled with laughter and cheers as the line between the juniors and seniors blurred to create a single community under the stars.

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...
