Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

The contract was signed, but there was still a lot of work to be done afterward, and a large team of lawyers and accountants began their work.

This was no longer something that someone like Chen Yiran, in management, needed to oversee. He began to relax completely and look forward to the Lunar New Year. Singapore is very small, and he wasn't actually that interested in it, but his elderly mother was excitedly taking him around everywhere because it was her first time traveling abroad.

The Lunar New Year is almost here, and it's time to go shopping for New Year's goods.

From Sentosa, it's a short taxi ride across the bridge to Chinatown, which takes about ten minutes.

Chinatown in Singapore was originally a settlement of Fujian and Guangdong immigrants in the 19th century. The origin of the name is quite simple: back then, Chinese people used oxcarts to haul water from the wells in Ann Siang Hill to sell to the residents, and over time the area became known as Chinatown.

It is now the largest Chinese commercial district in Singapore. The Lunar New Year market starts preparing as early as the twelfth lunar month, selling couplets, pastries, and preserved meats. It's similar to a market in a county town in China, except that there are many Malays and Indians among the vendors, and the signs are written in a mix of Chinese and English.

This year is the Year of the Dragon, so dragon lanterns are naturally the main attraction. A huge red dragon lantern, with golden scales, coiled in the sky above the entire street. Its body meandered along the main street past several buildings, and red lanterns and "Fu" (good fortune) lanterns hung all around it, stretching from one end of the street to the other.

Besides the usual Spring Festival couplets, they also bought some Singaporean specialties, such as Bak Kwa meat jerky. Chen Yiran tasted it and found it quite delicious, so he bought a lot of it.

For the Lunar New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Yiran specially invited a Chinese chef from Singapore.

Steamed grouper, poached chicken, steamed shrimp with garlic and vermicelli, braised pork, and a sweet and sour sea bass—the overall style leans more towards southern flavors, but the taste is still quite good.

In Singapore, there is a unique dish for Chinese New Year called "Lo Hei" (or "Yu Sheng"), which is a traditional New Year dish unique to the Chinese community in Southeast Asia. It is made by serving thin slices of salmon with shredded red and white radishes, pomelo pulp, crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, plum sauce, and crispy fried dough sticks. A large plate is filled with more than a dozen ingredients, each with its own significance.

Red radish shreds represent good fortune, green radish shreds represent eternal youth, and crushed peanuts represent wealth and prosperity. The way to eat it is quite particular: everyone stands up and circles the table, using chopsticks to lift the ingredients high into the air while chanting auspicious phrases. The higher the ingredients are lifted, the more auspicious it is said, as it's believed to bring good luck for the coming year.

Chen Yiran thought that it might be that the raw fish from Guangdong was changed to a version with sea fish after it came here. This way of eating is basically the same as the raw fish from Hengzhou, Shunde that he had seen on Bilibili before.

The family of three stood up and held the condiments high. Pidan, not knowing what was going on, also started jumping around.

Afterwards, the whole family watched what Chen's parents did as usual, and Chen Yiran started watching the New Year's greetings on Bilibili as usual.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Yiran took her whole family to Universal Studios.

Universal Studios is located on Sentosa Island and opened in 2010. It was the first Universal Studios in Southeast Asia. Its scale isn't large; it can't compare to those in Hollywood or Osaka, and it's far smaller than the later Universal Studios in Beijing.

But it has everything you'd expect: Transformers, Jurassic Park, Revenge of the Mummy, Shrek—it would take most of the day to walk through all seven themed areas.

But when we got to the entrance, we discovered that Universal Studios here doesn't allow pets; only working dogs are allowed. Although we had previously gotten a work permit for Pidan (a dog) so he could fly, everyone knows that's something only rich people pay for.

Chen Yiran felt there was no need to make special arrangements for an amusement park. He originally planned to hand Pidan over to the bodyguard and take his parents in for a stroll, since his parents probably wouldn't want to ride any rides anyway, they would just want to watch the fun.

Who knew that after Chen's mother learned that the preserved egg couldn't go in, she resolutely decided not to go in either.

Chen's mother glanced at the rotating globe logo and the huge queue, showing little interest: "You go with your dad, I'll wait outside with Pidan."

Mr. Chen waved his hand: "I'm not going either. It's all children's toys."

Chen Yiran was speechless and decided to just take her parents for a walk around the entrance and not go in.

Although Singapore is small, it still has some attractions. For several days in a row, there have been fireworks shows at Marina Bay Sands, and nearby there are temples such as the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Thian Hock Keng Temple where you can pray for blessings.

Who knew that at the entrance, Pidan was attracted by the nearly three-meter-tall Optimus Prime statue. He hid behind Chen Yiran, poked his head out, and barked wildly at the statue.

This wasn't just Chen's parents taking out their phones to film; many people around them also started taking out their phones to record videos.

Many people have already recognized Chen Yiran and Pidan, and they are taking even more photos.

Speechless, Chen Yiran pulled Pidan away, but Pidan was determined to fight the Autobot to the death, refusing to budge no matter how hard he tried.

This was no problem for Chen Yiran. After all, he had raised Pidan for two lifetimes and knew Pidan's personality very well. He simply let go of the leash.

After realizing that Chen Yiran was no longer stopping him, Pidan did not rush towards the three-meter-tall statue. Instead, he looked around, picked up the leash, and ran to Chen Yiran's side with a fawning expression.

The people around them burst into laughter again, and Chen Yiran quickly led her family away.

After having a traditional Singaporean light meal at a food court, the family went to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Chinatown.

The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is located in the bustling city of Chinatown. Completed in 2007, the four-story Tang-style building with red pillars and golden tiles stands out among the surrounding old buildings in the Nanyang style.

It is called the Temple of the Tooth Relic because it enshrines a tooth relic of Shakyamuni Buddha.

In 1980, Abbot Wushe Kapala of the famous Phanthala Temple in Myawaddy, Myanmar, along with five male devotees, prepared to restore the collapsed Bagan Pagoda and Buddha statue.

During the cleaning process, they discovered a Buddha tooth inside the pure gold stupa, and also obtained various Buddha relics.

Later, after many twists and turns, in order to promote Buddhism and the like, this Buddha tooth eventually came to Singapore for an exhibition.

None of the three members of the Chen family were particularly devout Buddhists, but given the Chinese tradition, and since they were already there, they lit incense and offered their prayers.

There was a prayer wheel on the second floor. Chen's mother pushed it around once, her expression quite serious.

Although Chen Yiran had some doubts about materialism because of his rebirth, he firmly believed that it was some kind of cyber god taking care of him, rather than some kind of bodhisattva or Buddha.

After coming out, the family went home. They were all very tired after a day of shopping, and the egg was completely out of power.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, no one went out anymore, and Mr. and Mrs. Chen even started packing their things to prepare to go home.

Chen Yiran then held a video conference with the other parties to confirm that the press release was in order and to announce the news about Aurora Group to major newspapers the next day.
