Never would i have imagined feeling so much for a club and the people that came with it. From the first moment i stepped foot into MJ, the people, memories and lessons became the exact reason why i couldn’t leave it behind. Without MJ, i truly wouldn’t be where I am at today.

To be totally honest, i didn’t have the easiest time in MJ. Leading a group of 200 people, my committee(s), and myself for the past 3 years— many times, i wanted to run far far away, from the moments that made me cry, the days where i doubted whether i was ever good enough, or the things that didn’t seem to work out no matter how hard i tried. But somehow, i still always found myself running back without a second thought, whenever i thought the club needed me once again.

Overtime, i guess got too used to mj being in every part of my life — spending my every waking second 24/7 thinking about “what else”, 3-6 hour weekly long meetings and running around without a break at every event, like i didn’t have 10000 other things in my life to worry about. Now that i have finally stepped down, it is going to feel empty for quite a while. BUT i have learnt SOSOSO much from this goddamn club ngl, met so many LOVELY AND inspiring people and made SO MANY FRIENDS (all my junior babies, batchies, seniors and LAOLUMNI😭💜). DANCE IS AMAZING YALL. 🫶🏻 ps whoever told me to rerun again, FOUL 😑😑😑

They say, it takes a village to raise a child. But it only took one MJ family, to love and grow so many others, like all of you. And regardless of MJ batch, i’m so happy that MJ got to be a part of your life, in someway shape or form, and that you got to be a part of MJ’s too☹️

My greatest hope has always been that our members will grow to love and see MJ the way we do. And even beyond that, we hope to inspire them to do so in their own unique way. May MJ always love our dancers, like how it loved me — through thick and thin, and may everyone else find their own reasons for wanting to stay, for many generations to come💜

thank you once again, @ntumj, for loving me, letting me love you, and being a part of my prettiest years🫶🏻 MJ ON 3 — 1,2,3❗️❕
