FADE IN.
INT. SWIMMING POOL- DAY
A few souls. PETER swims leisurely from wall to wall.
PETER (V.O.)
In editing the video
clips for my 2020
greetings, I rediscover
where I've been
in 2019.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.)
I've no problem to
recall recent ones...
I was surprised I
had difficulty to
find video clips of
my January travel.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
My wife and I seized
the 2019 New Year
holidays and went to
Kuala Lumpur...
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Let me carry on to remember my 2019
travels...In February.
I went to Hokkaido to
see its Snow Festivals.
In March, I was in
Tokyo, seeing Sakura
blossoms...
Pausing.
PETER(V.O.) (Cont'd)
In April, my wife and
I visited Taipei. In May
I was in Ishigaki. In
June, I was in the
Wakayama area. In
July, I visited my younger
son in Sydney and took
a side trip to Melbourne.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Where was I after that?
Yes, in August, I went
to Miyakoshima - the
paradise. In September,
my wife and I settled
our younger daughter
in UK. In October, I
went to Victoria to visit
my friend...Where I've
gone in November?
Peter looks frustrated in the water.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
What are the clips
that I've used? Oh
yes! I was in Fukuoka,
visiting my elder
daughter. And the
family united again
in Aomori in December.
Touching the pool wall, Peter looks relieved. Then, the notice of a big electronic bulletin board catches his attention.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Oh, today is last day
that this pool is still
open. It will be closed
for maintenance from
tomorrow.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
If he was still around,
