Last night, I dreamt of Chen Wen Hsi. As in the pioneer Singaporean Chinese or Chinese Singaporean painter who passed away in1991. In the dream, he was my lao gu gong or lao dior gong, I think that means great grand uncle. The occasion was his wedding, I didn’t see the wife but I kind of know she was young, maybe a second wife. He was pretty old maybe in his 60s or 70s. I was there with my brother and I was pretty shocked when I saw Chen Wen Hsi's face that I didn’t know how to address him and he called himself the liao gu gong or something in sort of a chastise to me for not greeting him properly. Maybe because he thought I was judging him for marrying at such an old age to a younger wife.

I was a bit puzzled by that because I thought oh yah maybe he is related on my maternal grandmother side because of the same surname but yet he was teochew and my grandmother is hokkien. And maybe it was more likely that he is a relative on my paternal side which is teochew. But wait, I am awake now and I recall my maternal grandmother's surname is huang, Ng. So ok. Maybe he was really related to someone on my paternal side I wouldn’t know i’m so distant from them.

OK so anyway. I dreamt of Chen Wen Hsi. This is the second time I dreamt of him. Maybe our vibes are connected. Maybe he is the reincarnation of something else for me. Maybe he is really pleased with my thesis. Hahahaha. And comes to me in my dreams.
