The Reunion Of the Mambo Faithfuls ...

The title says it all ..

Its been so long since I enjoyed a good mambo night .. or should I say , gone for a mambo night .. Gone for 1 session 2 or 3 weeks back .. Would say it was a crappy session .. waited all night for Summer Rain ... And JUST AFTER I LEFT .. The bloody Summer Rain Came ...

BUT ALL IS NOT LOST !! 11th June marked the reunion of a few of us "Mambo-Faithfuls" .. especially with the special guest Appearance of JR ... who has sworn off mambo .. to adopt chilling out as the new option ..

It was a great night out .. meeting up with KX aka Marina South Girl (MSG) , SX , Sharon, JR (ps: Alan is a regular at Mambo) .. so NO big deal Wahahha .. while its been awhile since "MSG" , Sharon, JR and myself met up for some good mambo Jambo ..

The music was Not too bad ... the crowd was overwhelming .. I guess the JC kids were out in full swing .. coupled with probably half of Pulau Tekong in Zouk ... with lots of chao recruits and bunch of guys who behaved like they had to fall in and dance in syncro with the Mambo regulars..

Oh alritey , I was once like them .. hehe .. Saw one poor NSF who was obviously new to Mambo nights , struggling to figure out the dance steps and the songs , while his buddy beside him was trying hard to impress him with his knowledge of the songs ..

Gave him a friendly tap on his shoulder and told him to enjoy while he can while he is in NS !! Gotta "give a little respect" to the smart marketing fellows @ Zouk for making Wednesdays Ladies Nights , it sure attracts the ladies/girls/ aunties .. Hell yeah ... saw 3 aunties who were in Line Dancing attire , trying hard to fit in ..

Highlights of that night included 3 X Summer Rains .. What I missed the previous time round , the DJ made up for it .. had a great time "dancing with you in the summer rain" many many times .. and I am really convinced Summer Rain is definitely a crowd-Pleaser ... with the crowd yelling the familiar 1 ! 2! 3! 4 ! countdown to the chorus .. and the very standardised hand movements of Summer Rain ..

Wrapped up the night in true GOOD OLD JLC fashion , with "MSG" and me treating JR to Two Flaming Lamboghinis .. as a belated birthday treat !! Heh ..

People always tell me , Mambo is for Kids ... To them I say Bullshit !!... Mambo Jambo is for FRIENDS ! I enjoy Mambo for the music , for the Camaraderie when everyone sings together , I enjoy the company of JR , Alan , "MSG" , Sharon during the songs , the look of JR getting into the mood to "boogey"

It was definitely a good Mambo meetup ... A pity our dear Mr Phillip was Missing In Action .. Whata pity ..
