So an associate asked me whether I want to be a cheerleader this afternoon.No kidding. I was hanging out with one of my office girlies when she came in, looking excited to find both of us at the same time. At first I thought she'd want something done and keep us working until 3 am in the morning so we'd jump from the 21st floor or something. Instead she squealed and told us to prepare ourselves to be in our office's cheerleading team.
I know. WOW.
Apparently next June there'll be some sort of annual mini-olympic going on for law firms in Jakarta. It's pretty huge. They've assigned almoskt everyone young / fit enough to represent the firm and compete. Uniforms are made, practices and rehearsals are scheduled. Some of the intern guys were talking about soccer or basketball practices over dinner today, expressing their concerns on how other law firms have started to practice already. Another office mate talked about going to bowling alley to practice this weekend. Looks like they take it pretty seriously.
I wonder whether they'd boil me to death if I messed up a move.
See, there's a reason I wasn't in the cheerleading team back in high school. Yes, mostly because I was a big music dork and not cool or plastic enough to mingle with the popular chicks with their itty bitty skirts and pom poms but I think it's also because coordinated moves confuse me.
Which kinda doesn't make sense because I DANCE ALL THE TIME. In my room, in the club, in the living room, whenever I feel ecstatic. I have different types of dance too : victory dance, gorilla impersonation dance, yay-my-work-is-done-now-i-can-go-home dance.
But they're DIFFERENT than coordinated cheerleading moves. Very different. And not only because to do a gorilla impersonation dance all you have to do is wiggling your butt, put on an idiotic expression, scratch your belly and clap.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off watching Bring It On. All six movies simultaneously. This may or may not hurt me.
How good are you at following / memorizing a choreography?

Oh, I'm soooo bad at it. Hehe. I feel like an idiot when I'm dancing. I don't know why. Though I think YOU'LL be a good cheerleader.
