FADE IN
Act 1
INT. BEDROOM - 10:00
Cosy. Waking up, Peter stretches, yawns and looks at the clock.
PETER (V.O): 10 am already?
Recalling.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): I slept after 1:30am this morning.
Thinking.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): Wow, I can sleep for eight hours per night.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): And I knew I don't have any morning commitment. But I need to swim early as I'll drive my daughter to the Airport.
Peter hops out of bed.
Act 2
EXT. SILVERSTRAND BAY - 11:30
Blue sky. Crystal clear water. Peter sees a red flag hoisting.
PETER (V.O): There's always the red flag...
We hear a public announcement:..Big waves...red flag...it's dangerous to swim...
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): I believe there's a clear connection between swimming in the sea and health.
Connecting a green float to his waist, Peter strides confidently into the water.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): I embrace the thrills of the waves.
EXT. ESTATE STREETS - 14:15
In a 8-seater Previa, Peter drives his WIFE and elder DAUGHTER.
WIFE: Are you fit to drive to the Airport?
PETER: Yes, I slept very well last night.
FLASHBACK
EXT. HIGHWAYS TO/FROM AIRPORT - DAY (A week ago)
In a Previa, Peter drives his wife who is playing mobile games.
PETER: I feel sleepy...talk to me...
WIFE: Let me drive...
PETER: There's no appropriate layby area...just talk to me.
Later, Peter's wife's driving, with their elder daughter on board. We hear Peter snoring at the passenger seat.
RETURN TO PRESENT
INT. LIVING ROOM - 16:15
Mobile in hand, Peter taps travel apps.
PETER (V.O): Our daughter is flying back to Seoul. I can now plan my Nov solo travel.
Peter reads an itinerary.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): Perhaps, I just go to Shenzhen, as my wife and I have already fixed our travels from December 2024 to March 2025.
Having made his hotel reservation, Peter takes a look of his wife who has fallen asleep on the sofa.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): She was fully engaged when our lovely daughter was home.
INT. DINING ROOM - 21:00
Plenty of food on the table. Peter and his wife begin to dine.
PETER: Oh, we still have the delicious soup and noodles you prepared yesterday.
WIFE: They're our daughter's favourites. I cooked a lot.
PETER: Our daughter's plane should land in Seoul in a few minutes.
INT. LIVING ROOM - 21: 15
Seeing a family chatgroup message: Landed, Peter is delighted. He reads on.
PETER (V.O): Oh, due to the snowstorm, the plane has to circle 40 minutes before landing ...there're now 20 planes waiting for parking lots...
On screen , we see Peter and his wife chatting with their daughter for two hours.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): The plane may have a parking lot...finally parked after a two-hour wait.
Peter types on screen: Be prepared to stay overnight at the Airport.
Act 3
INT. BEDROOM - 23:45
Peter inserts an AI drawing entitled "Crystal Clear Connections..." to a draft in his laptop.
PETER (V.O): Connection isn't just about being together; it's about understanding each other clearly.
Thinking.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): When our thoughts and feelings align, we create connections that are truly clear.
Reflecting.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): Where understanding trancends words -they're crystal clear connections.
FADE OUT
