god save the queen

It was a function where the wives all the presidents from the top 72 countries of the world present a painted portrait of each of themselves. Probably some charity gala event for the high society.

The building was an old colonial building similar to the current Singapore Art Museum. Yes, the one with the Dome cafe outlet. But it was more grandiose and with a larger indoor space. I was present as a guest or guard, I wasn't sure.

Traveling to a corner of the second floor, I noticed the building was sealed with glass. But despite that, problem ensued. A nest of bees or wasps appeared to have found their way indoors. Everyone panicked and headed for the door.

Strangely, I managed to do some investigation and traced the insects to a hole cut into the glass. So the bees/wasps were fed into the building through this inlet.

Left dangling, unfortunately, I woke up at this juncture. And I must admit it felt like I had this dream at least once if not twice before, prior to this count.

And yes, I believe the Queen of England was present amongst the VIPs. Hence the title.
