Act 1
INT. LIVING ROOM - 11:00
Smartphone in hand, PETER researches on DeepSeek's rise to succes.
PETER (V.O): From humble beginnings to a global AI power house, DeepSeek's journey is a testament of vision, innovation and preseverence.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): Without any science and engineering background, I don't have the capacity to be innovative.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): What would I've done differently? If I wasn't an Arts student and was admitted to read engineering in university...What would I be now?
Daydreaming.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): Similar to DeepSeek, I don't just chase success, I chase purpose, even when the path ahead is unclear.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): I've the vision to be creative, the courage to try and the commitment to do.
Act 2
INT. STUDY - 14:00
Via the Duolingo app, Peter is learning Italian.
PETER (V.O.): ..."predere" (Italian)...the verb means to "take"...
Recalling.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): When I was working in Castle Peak Hotel in the late 1960s, my seniors instructed me to bring the dirty dishes to the "predere" - a phonetic transliteration.
Recalling.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): I believed my colleagues didn't know why it's so-called.
Smiling.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): Let me ask DeepSeek.
Having typed the prompt, Peter reads the response: The term "Predere" doesn't directly translate to a place to wash dishes in any widely known language. However, it might be a misspelling or a variation of a word in another language. Here are a few possibilities: 1 "Prelavare" (Italian): This term refers to pre-washing or rinsing, often in the context of dishes or laundry...
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): I take it that my seniors then were speaking the Italian word without knowing it.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): Learning foreign languages at my own pace is what I can still do at my age.
A notification pops up on the screen: Google storage: 99:25% full. Upgrade or Free Up Space.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): The storage is cluttered with contents that I don't even look at anymore.
Clicking Google Photos, Peter sees thousands of thumbnails filling the screen.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): Images of travels, screenshots, video clips, my MVs ...
Peter starts scrolling.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): And even accidental images and video clips...
Pausing.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): Holding onto everything is like preserving my life...am I right?
Pausing.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): But do I really need all these backups?
Pausing.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): To achieve more with less like DeepSeek, perhaps I'd let go of the things that don't matter.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): May be decluttering isn't about losing things. May be it's about making room for what's next.
Peter begins to delete accidental shots, duplicated images, blurry photos... Then, he stumbles upon many video clips.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): They're meant to be included in my short movie projects...
Sighing.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): Let me now start up a Project Phoenix, decluttering stuff that I don't need, creating room for new opportunities.
Peter continues to delete hundreds of images and some video clips.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): Each decision feels like a small victory...but I must empty the bin to free up space... where is the bin?
Having found the bin in his collections, Peter sees two options: Delete all or Restore all.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): "Restore all" is still an option...
Peter hesitates.
Act 3
INT. LIVING ROOM - 21:30
Peter inserts an AI drawing entitled: "Project Phoenix..." to a draft in his laptop.
PETER (V.O): DeepSeek's rise has sparked my personal reflection and change.
Thinking.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): Holding onto the past can weigh me down; and transformation doesn't have to happen overnight.
Reflecting.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): I'm taking small steps, building momentum toward bigger goals.
