FADE IN
Act 1
EXT. FERRY TRIP TO CHEUNG CHAU - 10:15
Taking a seat, PETER puts his red bag and ukulele beside him.
PETER (V.O.): I plan to visit Cheung Po Sai Cave. I didn't visit it in Sept as I targeted bays that I could swim.
Thinking.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): But I doubt if I can enter the Cave with my belongings.
Peter takes a look of the water in the harbour.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I expect the water will be rough, and I may not swim. I plan to play ukulele in Kwun Yam Beach.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): What and when to eat? Last time, I just had some very large size Cheung Chau fish balls and a bottle of orange squash in the late afternoon.
Tapping Quora, Peter entertains some answer requests on screen.
Act 2
EXT. CHEUNG CHAU - 11:15
Cheung Chau Family Walk. Coming out from a public toilet, Peter sees a congee stall and a STAFF greeting him.
STAFF: Wanna eat something?
Peter reads the menu on the wall.
PETER (V.O.): "Cheung Chau Sampan Congee"? I must try it.
Entering the stall, Peter does his order.
Soon, a bowl of congee is put on the table. Peter stirs it.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Apart from the usual ingredients, I see fresh sliced fish and some minced beef.
Tasting.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Delicious. I can forget lunch.
Later, walking past a roadside spot, Peter sees two old MEN singing Karaoke.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): What a good pastime.
Later, walking past a row of seafront villas, Peter hears someone saying: Upon retirement, I may buy one.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Yes, retirement is a time to experience enjoyable activities.
Arriving at the Cheung Po Sai Cave, Peter reads a Caveat on a rock.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, it's too risky for me to get in...
Sitting on a rock near the Cave entrance, Peter takes out his ukulele and plays it. Later, we hear a WOMAN commenting: You're really enjoying yourself.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Yes, I'm.
When many other TOURISTS approach, Peter leaves.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Let me play elsewhere.
Later, we see Peter playing the ukulele on the upper floor of a nearby pavilion; and we hear a GIRL remarking: I should have brought my guitar.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): A guitar isn't as handy as an ukulele.
Later, as Peter leaves, he accidentally drops the ukulele on the floor. He examines the damage.
PETER: Chipped and tattered - a natural relic edition now.
Later, leaving the Reclining Rocks, Peter sees the empty Pak Tso Wan.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): What an exclusive beach for me to play the ukulele.
Alone on the beach, Peter plays his ukulele under the deep Autumn sun.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't have to go to Kwun Yan beach. Here's better.
Later, as Peter walks in the direction of the ferry pier, an old HAWKER on the roadside engages him.
HAWKER: Handsome boy, wanna try my homemade sticking rice cakes?
Peter walks on. Soon, he hesitates.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I shouldn't let her down. I come here once in several decades. I'll regret it.
Turning around, Peter walks back to the old hawker, buys and eats the sticky rice cakes on the spot before bidding her goodbye.
HAWKER: See you again, fate permitting.
Later, Peter sees over half a dozen ELDERLY gathering at the roadside Karaoke spot and SOMEONE is singing the song "Wo You Yiduan Qing"(I had a Loving Relationship).
PETER (V.O.): Who didn't?
Act 3
EXT. FERRY TRIP TO CENTRAL - 16:15
Sitting at the rear row, Peter has his red bag on his left and his ukulele on his right.
PETER (V.O.): In relationships, one should learn to serve and fulfill needs. Little things are big ones.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Fusing speed with something only I'd do, I've surprised people with unexpected deeds.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): While people may forget what I said and did, they may not forget how I made them feel.
Peter checks the moments he has captured with his smart phones.
