FADE IN:
INT. CLUB HOUSE - DAY
Sitting on a sofa, PETER reads newspapers.
PETER (V.O.)
What a leisure when I've
accomplished all my March
2019 tasks. I've learned a lot
and should write them
down. A survival kid or
a work manual?
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
That was what I suggested
my wife to do when she
began practising. I've the
inclination to do that. But
can I make it interesting
like telling stories.
Peter's eyes look down and left.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Yes!, Let me write another
120-minute feature screenplay!
I've enough good scenes
and drama.
INT. STUDY - DAY
Peter works on a computer.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
What should be the opening
image? Yes, coming out
of the court house yesterday.
Use flashback to relate the scene
when I got my first court
assignment in Dec 2017. A
snapshot of my problem in
undertaking private practice.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
What should be the set-up?
I'd present my background
as a government retiree and
what's missing in my life after
decades of hectic public
practice.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
The theme of my story is
about how to live a life
as a senior junior lawyer.
I didn't have the experience
and didn't know what to
expect.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.)(Cont'd)
When a friend suggested
I might join his chambers in
the summer of 2017, my
life began to change.
Peter's eyes look down and right.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
As to the self debate about
my doubt to undertake the
adventure, I can also present
the doubts of my family and
friends. That's Act I.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
At the beginning of Act II,
I'd narrate my love story
regarding composing
songs. making music videos
and performing. My very
first assignment in Oct,
2017 was to represent the association to speak on IP
in KL. A very pleasant new-
world experience.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
At midpoint, I'd return
to my first assignment to
appear in court. The matter
was something so unimportant
that I was not trained to do,
but had to learn on the
spot.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Then the challenge got
complicated as repeated
or new assignments didn't
come quick, defeating my
objective. My great time began to disintegrate.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
It seems all was lost and
there was no meaning in
my adventure. It was at
rock bottom and my life
returned to my old world.
That's the end of Act II.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Act III will depict the scenes
in March 2018 when I had
the opportunity to learn
from a learned friend to
advise defendants in
criminal cases, and the
job satisfaction to help
those down-on-the luck
in difficult situations.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
And a montage of my other
experience in human rights
cases, pro bono works and
domain name dispute
settlement and other
criminal and civil practice...
I therefore press on.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Then I synthesize my theme
with the stories in Acts I & II
in Act III, making sense to
to all of them.
Peter's eyes look down and left again.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
In the finale, I'd prove
visually in the closing image
the same court house scene
in the opening image that
a change has occurred within
me!
