MJ will win the war, MJ will win the war.
who dares to mess with us WILL BE CHOW TAH! wooh.
wait is that how you spell chow tah? It's Hokkien I think.
HELLO EVERYONE! MERIDIAN JUNIOR COLLEGE has been absolutely thrilling, I must say. I've made some friends that are really cool and learnt new cheers that have words like CHOW TAH and SHABOOYA.
There are like six cheers, a mass dance (that includes four songs), a couples' dance, a fusion dance, our college anthem and our house cheers that we have to memorise. I really cannot wait. The mass dance was awesome I have to admit. I couldn't catch up because Maisarah was teaching it too fast. Well we all had a deadline to stick to.
But it was awesome nonetheless. I freaking love dancing.
Oh my goodness, like three seconds ago this amazingly sweet person called me asking me whether I wanted to join MJC dance. I told her I was quite worried about the whole ballet thing because I was completely inexperienced. Then she said that she didn't have any dance experience before JC and she told me not to worry.
Her reassurances were like a God send.
If you ask Syafiqah, Nizam, Meridyn, Alyah or any other person, you would know that I had no interest to join dance at all in MJC because of these reasons:
1) You have to run around the track.
2) You have to run.
3) It's ballet and I can't do a split anymore to save my life.
4) I don't like running.
5) I wanted to be a councillor. (what? it's a good leadership role. and don't think I can't because I soooo can.)
6) Running is the one thing that I absolutely hate doing.
7) SYF is like this year, so I thought I couldn't handle that and four H2 subjects and my promo exams and my mid-years and the homework etc.
8) I run like a chicken. (ask Faqiha)
9) I run ten metres and already feel out of breath.
But this is the reason I do want to join dance:
1) I, Namira Nasir, absolutely and unconditionally love and feel upmost passion for dancing.
When she called me it was a sign. Here's a snippet:
Me: In my secondary school, I was more of a participant for modern dance. But when I heard that the Meridian Junior College Dance society's dancing genre was more ballet-based, I was adversed to the idea of adapting and all that.
Her: Oh, not to worry. Previously I had absolutely zero knowledge of dancing in whole. But I really just took a step further and joined it anyway. Our dance ensemble is mostly for people who feel absolutely passionate for dance and I can tell that you are perfect for it. It's in your records right that you were previously a secondary 4 representative for your Dance CCA?
(if you're wondering how a student like her could gain access to my records is because she is the Chairman and she basically knows who has dance background from secondary school)
Me: Really? Thank you. But I'm just a little hesitant, you know. New school.
Her: I completely understand. Why don't you just come down for the auditions tomorrow and try out for it? I'm sure you'll do brilliantly. And don't worry, I'll be there just in case you need support. Remember, no pressure okay? So will you please come?
She is asking me to come audition? I was already won over.
I'm going to dance auditions tomorrow. wish me luck!

self-proclamation.
My life is not a fascination worth the scrutiny of those who watch over me. Yet, I live amongst thin air and sparkling personalities.
I am an avid fan of the KoreanPop scene. So bring me to the number thirteen.
read my lips.
they're watching.
