SLAY Club - English Club 23-24

A book passed on is a story being reborn! 💫✨

We invite everyone to take part in our Book Donation Drive—an initiative that aims to spread the joy of reading and make books more accessible to those who need them most.

You can drop off your book donations at The Reading Corner, Building D, above SBM from June 9-13, 2025! ✨

We welcome gently used or new books—whether they're novels, non-fiction, educational materials, or even narratives, all are appreciated! 💞

Your donated books will go a 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 way in supporting local learners, young readers, and programs that promote literacy and lifelong learning. Every book you give has the power to open minds, inspire dreams and change lives. 🙊

Let’s work together to build a stronger reading culture—one donation, one story and one reader at a time.
Thank you for being part of this meaningful cause! 🥹📖

"Hey isn't it funny how there wasn't a winner's announcement post for the Bookmark Making contest?"

"What? There is!"

"What!"

"What!"

===========================================

GOOD AFTERNOON CALNATSCIANS! A new semester is upon us, a new chapter in our academic lives. The English Month ends, and Examinations finally reaches its dusk. And of course how could we not forget about the highly anticipated foundation week! 🥳🥳🥳

But let's not get too hasty. As the semester ends and English Month finally rests far into the horizon, let's take the time to commemorate and acknowledge the winners of the Bookmark Making Contest! Although the month is one but many experiences you'll have in your school life, REMEMBER THE DAYS! And learn to appreciate the little things in life

“𝐷𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒, 𝑜𝑟 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑙𝑖-”

“It’s both.”

“...” Σ(゜゜)

“Erm!”

The 𝕮𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝕻𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 are here 💃🎉 and they’re ready to bring 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸 and 𝗮𝘄𝗲 to everyone who gazes upon them as tonight, 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 📜 From the darkness they rise, even if they are darkness incarnate, for in 𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽 there is 𝖉𝖆𝖗𝖐, and in 𝖉𝖆𝖗𝖐 there is 𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽! 🌟

Even though everyone expected there to be only one sole hero according to the prophecy, imagination isn’t exactly restricted to one character only. Ackshually- there are even 𝗦𝗜𝗫 of them! From the 𝕽𝖊𝖉 𝕼𝖚𝖊𝖊𝖓’s tyranny of the Underland 👑❤️ to the undying love of the ᏟϴᎡᏢՏᎬ ᏴᎡᏆᎠᎬ’Տ ᎬᎷᏆᏞᎽ ᎷᎬᎡᎡᏆᎷᎪᏟᏦ 💀💍, unlikely heroes and villains come together to 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗙𝗬 people under one banner, by hook or by crook.

And of course, the final piece of the prophecy, telling about the legend of;

“ *🎨𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓 »

An artist paints and strikes,
agonized by bleak strokes.
Painting in pained dichotomy,
Drawing his last words he spoke.

What happened to art that it became stale?
What happened to art that it became impure?
What happened to art, no longer telling tales,
stories, legends, emotions, not mindful, nor demure?

Superficial, and artificial slop, carved out of greed,
Removing humanity with no words to heed,
An artist bleeds and bleeds,
ink, dye, canvas, and seeds.

But when his passion dies,
it paves the way to be reborn anew.
his inspiration refreshed and renewed!
Behold THE ARTIST, as his spirit flies!

JOIN US CALNATSCIANS! In the search for 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓 💜, our final hero to complete the four. Remember, a bookmark isn't just a bookmark, it could be a leaf, it could be a folded page, or maybe a teardrop to remember the time where the book 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 got to you.

good luck CALNATSCI 💜 ...٩( ᐛ )و

Feast your eyes, my dear, as we go on a 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐂 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐏𝐄𝐓 𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐄 💫🔮 to another fragment of the prophecy;

┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┉┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄
🔊✨` *The Speaker”

Road to light, road to fame,
The speaker makes sure the world knows their name.
Rise and fall, dusk and dawn,
Words to them are just a pawn.

Passion driven, words spoken,
They never feared what to them was golden.
The light of their staff shine bright,
As the echoes of their past strengthened their wright.

Constructed a herd, the hero and its crew felt unstoppable.
Until a traitor seized their staff, causing the tribe to fall.
The speaker felt flabbergasted, hopeless even.
Regaining their strength, determined to find him.

As the traitor believed that the hero was too brave,
Little does he know that they were digging their own grave.
Slaying him with their power-infused words,
The foe felt he needed to escape to another world.

Retrieving their staff, a divine descended
Little do they know that their story hasn’t ended.
And thus its legacy sworn,
Waiting for another successor to be born.
┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┉┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄

But first, another fragment of the prophecy is at hand. After all, the Quiz Bee is actually an initiation rite in finding the second hero;

=THE CHAMPION=

Not many can claim victor over words,
not many can claim victor over worlds.
Not many can claim victor over the heart,
Not many can claim victor over the arts.

But the oh-so-daring few who persist,
do dare challenge the status quo that exist,
in a way that their superiority will insist,
but the initiation rites will always resist.

The revered champion of the quiz bee has yet to be found.
People say his decorum and language transcends unbound.
His words flow like milk and honey,
His lexicon as rich as silk and money.

No one knows who this hero is,
no one knows who this hero was.
But even in his absence, his concept inspires HOPE.
a SUMMIT to overpass, with words as our rope.

Climbing steadfast and strong, the reflections of the soul,
On one hand he holds the heart,
on the other he holds the mind,
and together they overcome to summit,

Giving birth to THE CHAMPION.

Prepare your mind and passion for language and join us in the upcoming battle of the wits and words~~
