before 2005 silently fades away.  Looking back, I am grateful for this fruitful year, signified by a few milestones:

Moved to Kirkland 

After seven plus years in Lynnwood and seven years of thinking and talking and thinking and talking and thinking about moving, I finally moved.  I like my house.  As my chemistry prompts me to go out a lot, I haven't spent enough time there though.

My first screenplay

"Triple shot Journey" (working title) is the first screenplay I started.  Wrote mostly in Zoka, Starbucks and other office-like environment.  30 pages down, 70 more to go.  Interrupted by the "Grand Move" in the summer.  My REAL COMPLETED SCREENPLAY "Memories" was written based on the above feature screenplay and I ended up changing the story entirely.  It's a 10-12 minute short film.

My first filmmaking experience

Aside from the various class filmmaking projects this year, I actually shot some scenes from my script "Memories" and edited the train platform sequence.  Thank all my friends for helping me in a last minute call.... on a Thanksgiving Day.  I'll rewrite the script, storyboard and film the real version next spring.

I Love My Job

...for the first time in my life!  Good company, nice projects and great boss!  ....although I have to stay late quite a bit.

I feel focused ...

despite constantly distracted by zillion things and people.  At least I don't have internet access or TV signal at home to distract me.  I am thankful.

Great friends

While this is not exactly a milestone, I love my friends.

Double Black

My first double black experience after two years of abstinence from skiing.  I actually improved.

Okay, I pray that I continue to grow in the nouveau year of 20 06... and maybe I'll ... 

Cheers!

FADE IN:

int. apartment – night

In an apartment, we see a few paintings and drawing hanging on the wall.  One of them is “Man feeding geese by the lake”.  On the wall, there are also pictures of different people with names under each picture.  We see “cousin Jack”, “best friend Sabrina”, and “Grandma”, etc.

A naturally elegant, beautiful young woman in her 20s, BELLE takes out a book from her bag.  She goes to her bed and starts flipping through the first few pages.

Ah, it’s a journal.  Hmm.. must have his name somewhere…

Belle goes on flipping through the journal in order to find his contact information.

She is intrigued by a loose page of poem “touch” falling out of the journal.
