Lip Synching, Cross-Dressing & tons of smoke....
The last few days have been very pleasant. I made the effort to spend time with people who matter to me.

Last night we went to entertainer Kumar's new place Gold Dust. This is at Orchard Towers - which does a rather unusual transformation of target audience from day to night. The place was packed and smoky. The lip synching and dancing crew of cross- dressers put on a great show.
My favourite act was the Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey impersonations of the song "When You Believe" (from the Prince of Egypt). Those two fellows were spot-on in the two divas mannerisms. "Whitney" had far better legs and body than any of us real girls there. "Mariah" was like two Whitneys put together. Loved the way they, and Kumar also, can do all that lip vibrations....like the way opera singers do. Outstanding comic relief.

Back to the song. Great lyrics. Good stuff. And I believe it too!
There can be miracles, when you believe.
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.

After the show, we adjourned downstairs to Harry's to escape the smoke. We had the ditziest waitress. We were all non-alcoholic drinkers and ordered things like Evian, Pellegrino, Iced Tea & Orange Juice. That bland order must have been so unique in a watering hole like Harry's that she kept forgetting what we ordered. She must've been thinking What's wrong with these people? Why can't they be like other tables and order something alcoholic????
Sheesh.

Back to the song. Good melody. Great lyrics.
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

Think I will usher in 2006 with the theme of this song ruminating in my head.
Yes, I have a few miracles in mind I would like God to answer.
That would be considered my prayer I guess. They seem impossible at the moment.
But then, perhaps that's why the definition of a miracle is
1. an event recognized as an act of God 2. an amazing event
