When I first entered college, alumni relationships seemed to me like something to exploit. Alumni were individuals who could give you job opportunities and free advice, and even though it didn’t make much sense to me as to why an alum would favour someone attending their alma mater so much, I wasn’t about to start [...]

Internationalism speaks in so many ways– culture, language, arts, and best of all: food. From the exotic flavours of the Thai to the classic-but-delicious tastes of the Italian, food is always a highlight of a nation, something that classifies the nation and a nation. But there’s one food that represents our world as one: the [...]

Freshman year of college has come and gone. University has already been a blur, and now as I sit baking under the California sun, I realize that summer is upon me! How did this happen so fast? And wait… what am I doing this summer?
It seems that though we spend the entire school year working, [...]
The International School Theatre Association (ISTA) was hosted this year by Dulwich College Beijing.
ISTA may have only been a three-day event, but it was definitely unforgettable to all of us involved. ISTA taught me a lot of extremely valuable lessons, from the way I look at things to get inspiration to knowing the importance of [...]
It is the 7th of April. Our hearts are thumping to the syllables of Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam. Our hands are now velvet pieces wrapped cautiously around our individual pieces of luggage, and there is not one of us willing to depart to the land of rice paddy fields and picturesque mountain views without having installed [...]

On April 9th 2012, I departed from school at around 5am along with 3 of my classmates and our teacher. Each one of us had a big smile on our faces, it was the moment we have all been waiting for: planting trees in Inner Mongolia!
We all worked really hard this year trying to raise [...]
Pounding with exhilaration was her heart, as she rushed to the platform to the Eden of her mind. With ample confidence did she step into the ancient campus, which incessantly guided her in her midsummer night’s dreams… Step, step, step. Steady and sophisticated did she greet her host.
Blossoming petals, bushy plethora;
Sweeter than perfume [...]
One day there was a really happy farmer. He was called Ben. Everyday he took care of his extravagant farm, animals, and his plants.
One day, however, everything changed. All of his happiness disappeared. All of his animals were sleeping. All of his plants were dieing, and the sky appeared polluted with thick clouds and [...]
Reflections
The story of my life began on a joyless night in nineteen forty five. I was born in an air-raid shelter, a few weeks before the war ended; my mother’s shrieks drowned out by the desperate clanging of alarms and the sounds of destruction overhead. After a relatively short labour, she gave birth under the [...]
If I See Myself
I suppose it’s time.
I brush a bit of dust off my black trousers, tug on the collar of my white shirt, and smooth out the front of my black jacket. Formal attire is the [...]
The Move
“We’re moving to Canada?!” The words were out of my mouth before I could stop them.
My dad nodded happily, like we had won the lottery. Ron was pumped, Nina was surprised. I was angry. Ron danced up behind me. “We’re going to Canada!!” He sounded happier about it. I glared at him.
My mom shot [...]
For the first time, the hum of the air purifier and the subdued ticking of my old bedside alarm clock do not soothe my nerves and rock me to sleep.
I sit up. It catches me by surprise to know how blank one’s mind can be when it [...]
Ever since I was a toddler, I loved taking things apart and putting them back together. I remember the first time I took something apart; it was my grandpa’s bike. My parents did not get mad at me, but rather encouraged my growing curiosity. Later they bought me a plastic toy tool set from Black [...]

Spotlight focuses. Oops, testing, testing. Backstage preparation had been planned so thoroughly that the theatre was every inch a professional runway. Student technicians were confident that the show would draw back its curtains as well as it started.
Grabbed a snack at 6:00? Hey, what’s your friend’s design this year? Ready for the excitement? Full of [...]

It’s Linsanity over here. I’m sure that as a Taiwanese-American, Jeremy Lin is getting a lot of attention in Asia as well, but here in the USA he is everywhere.
For those of you who have been absent from all forms of media for the last few weeks, Lin is a [...]
