"One Gallon of Milk" by Aaron Morrison

By

 After the hard fought battle against ISKL, the boys were tired and were in desperate need of nutrition. Matthias Seevaratnam (12), who fought valiantly on the bench, cheering us on, sought a source of protein. On our journey to the mall via bus, the boys were split for dinner. Matthias decided to enjoy Nandos, consuming many pieces of chicken. Later on, he made a journey to Jaya to acquire his most prized source of protein, milk. This wasn’t any ordinary milk, this was extra protein milk. As he described his experience, “I bought the HL Super Milk because it has protein.” He has talked to the team about his desires of getting bigger, or as he calls it “the bulk.” He brought back his gallon of milk back to the hotel for later consumption.

The next morning, the team assumed that the milk was no more, however, the milk was brought down into the lobby of the hotel. Warm and half full, the milk made its way to the campus of ISKL. The gallon of milk got bench row seats for the games to follow against PUBA, Southern Wolves, and ISKL panthers. All it wanted was a pair of fresh lips to sip it again, preferably someone other than Matthias. The milk thought it wouldn’t be sipped again. It was packed up by Matthias and was brought onto the bus for the journey back to Penang.

During the journey back home, the gallon of milk would sit in the lonely corner of the bottom of a seat. Matthias, who was passed out in a dream, didn’t give a thought to the milk. It was thought that the gallon of milk wouldn’t be finished. However, before the end of the journey, Matthias arose from his dream and was reminded of the unfinished milk. It was then when Matthias proceeded to chug the gallon, allowing the milk to fulfill its duty in replenishing Matthias from his hard work.

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...
