Return to Singapore 1995

Who? Li Xiaofan turned around and saw that it was A Bin from Zui Ba Xian Seafood Restaurant.

"Abin, come on, have you eaten? Sit down together, long time no see, you have something to do with me!"

A Bin sat down next to Li Xiaofan, ordered a cup of KOPI-O coffee, and blew out a puff of smoke: "Of course something happened, oh, I had a hard time looking for you! I called your dormitory several times, no one was there. Take it, or tell me you’ve moved out!”

Ordering Kopi-O at a street coffee shop in Singapore means: coffee with only sugar, which means black coffee.

Li Xiaofan handed a cigarette to A Bin: "Haha, I'm sorry, I moved to a new place before going abroad and forgot to tell you my new dormitory number!"

In fact, handing cigarettes to others is not popular in Singapore. If you want to smoke, you can smoke it yourself. It is not popular to hand cigarettes to others.

Li Xiaofan passed the cigarette to express his apology.

A Bin accepted it gladly, and after taking it, he said loudly: "Alama, Afan, why don't you buy a BB pager? It's not expensive and it's convenient for contact!"

"Oh, yes, you reminded me. I will go to Tampines to buy a pager when I am free, so that I can contact you more easily! A Bin, do you have anything to do with me?"

"It's that rich young man Tang Jiaming. Brother Ming is looking for you!"

"Brother Ming, why are you looking for me?"

"Yesterday Brother Ming called me and said that I met you by chance on Orchard Road last time. We agreed to pick you up when you return to China. He wanted to treat us to a dinner at the Jumbo Seafood Restaurant on the East Coast this Saturday night. His father would also do the same. Join us! But Brother Ming doesn’t have your contact information, so he has to come to me again! So hurry up and buy a BB pager!”

"It's not good to ask Brother Ming and the others to treat us to dinner all the time, isn't it?"

"What's not so good? Is the big boss still short of this little money? And you also saved his father's life! If you don't want to go, you can call Brother Ming directly. This is his big brother number! "

A Bin threw a Big Brother number to Li Xiaofan and wrote it on a card in their restaurant.

"Okay, I understand. The ITE Institute of Technology that I signed up for recently is about to start school. If there is no conflict in time, I will attend!"

"Alama, what's so interesting about reading this book? Affan, you are such a nerd. Meeting the big boss is the most important thing. Such a great opportunity!"

"Haha, I know, if there is no conflict, I will definitely go!"

"By the way, Brother Ming said on the phone yesterday that you can also invite your two mainland girlfriends together. If there are more people, it will be more lively!"

"My girlfriend?"

"Yes, Brother Ming said that you were shopping with two mainland beauties on Orchard Road that day. They looked very close. I guess they were your girlfriends..."

"Fainted, that's just a normal friend, okay! Not a girlfriend!"

"Oh, female friends, girlfriends, that's pretty much it. Why are you talking so clearly? They're all your pawns anyway!"

"Haha, female friends and girlfriends are completely different things, they are very different! I know about the dinner on Saturday, I will contact you later!"

…

After eating Fujian prawn noodles and bidding farewell to A Bin, Li Xiaofan returned to the terraced house. Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen had not gotten off work yet. They had both been working during the day recently, and they were probably still working overtime in OT.

After resting for a while, Li Xiaofan went to the NTUC Club Resort to continue participating in the evening Muay Thai training.

After finishing the Muay Thai training, I returned to the townhouse after ten o'clock in the evening.

When they entered the living room, the two girls had already come back and took a shower. They were lying on the sofa in thin nightgowns and were concentrating on watching VCD movies.

The two watched with gusto, and their eyes did not leave the TV screen even when Li Xiaofan came in.

"You're back!" The two girls greeted Li Xiaofan casually and then the matter was done perfunctorily.

Recently, Li Xiaofan noticed that the two girls were dressing more and more "unbridled". When he first moved in, the two of them were very conservative, wearing pajamas and pajamas, and not exposing their flesh easily.

Now that everyone is familiar with each other, Li Xiaofan feels that the two girls' pajamas are getting thinner and thinner, exposing more and more flesh, and becoming more and more sexy.

Today, Guo Hanyue wore a pink translucent nightgown with billowy waves on top and two long, snow-white legs underneath. Liu Mengchen wears a black suspender top and a white short skirt below...

Li Xiaofan felt that one was sexier than the other, and the two of them seemed to be competing against each other. This was simply tempting them to commit a crime!

Today the two girls watched "The Shawshank Redemption". The film is adapted from the novella "The Shawshank Redemption" in the 1980s. It mainly tells the story of Andy, a banker who was imprisoned for shooting his wife and her lover, and Eli, who can smuggle various prohibited goods for inmates. Si became a friend, and Andy quietly planned self-rescue for the camp step by step, and finally successfully escaped from prison and regained his freedom.

The film was released simultaneously in the United States and Singapore in the fall of 1994, a few months later than "Forrest Gump". This year, the film received seven nominations at the 67th Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Li Xiaofan feels that 1994 is really a magical year in film history. Whether in the United States or Europe, whether in Hong Kong or the Mainland, many classic and good movies have been left behind.

In addition to the two recent blockbusters, last year's European and American blockbusters include "The Killer Isn't Too Cold", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "True Lies", "Speed", "The Lion King", "The Man in Disguise", etc... …

The discs he brought this time also included many Chinese blockbusters produced last year, such as "A Chinese Odyssey", "From Beijing with Love", "Justice, My Foot", "Ashes of Time", "Chungking Express", "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", "God of Gamblers 2", "Love Unforgettable", "Eat Drink Man Woman", "To Live", "Sunny Days"... all of which are very classic.

"Girls, is it good?" Li Xiaofan said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's wonderful!" Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen said in unison.

"Someone wants to treat you to a big meal at East Coast this weekend. Are you interested?"

"Free food?" Liu Mengchen said with a smile.

"Of course!"

"Free food, of course I'm interested! If I don't eat, I'll eat it for nothing! Li Xiaofan, are you treating us?"

"I don't have that much money to treat you to such an expensive Jumbo Seafood Restaurant! At most, I'll treat you to a few meals at the outdoor market stalls..."

"Wow, Jumbo Seafood Restaurant at East Coast! Who wants to treat us to such a high-end place?"

Hearing Jumbo Seafood Restaurant, Guo Hanyue and Liu Mengchen became interested and their eyes widened. In fact, they had never even been to the East Coast, let alone Jumbo Seafood Restaurant. But this restaurant on the East Coast is so famous that local colleagues in Singapore often mention it in their daily conversations.

In the 1990s, the most famous seafood restaurant on the East Coast of Singapore was Jumbo Seafood Restaurant. The restaurant's signature dishes: chili crab and black pepper crab represent the most authentic taste of Singapore. In addition, special dishes such as crispy squid and sambal water spinach are also very famous.

At that time, there was a similar restaurant in Hong Kong called Jumbo Seafood Restaurant in Hong Kong, which was also very famous. In the previous life, Li Xiaofan went to Hong Kong to taste it once when the country returned to China in 1997. At first, he thought that the two restaurants were from the same group and owner. Later, he learned that although the names of the two restaurants were similar, they had nothing to do with each other!
