First 10-15 minutes to just describe life, his family and his kids. His struggle, the family's struggle and how kids want a little more time of him. He fights with his wife, reconcile and just dealing with the daily stress of life. Introduce us to his work life, his one mean colleagues who take jabs at him.

I want to make a movie about a young husband and father who just found out he has cancer and probably only have 6 months to live.

He feels pain and been seeing doctor who gave him the usual treatment but eventually the doctor realize that it might be something serious and told him to take an X-ray or MRI and finds out that he has cancer.

He realize and take gravity of the fact that he has cancer, being sentenced a death sentence when he saw the specialist and was told of the truth. He sits by himself, wondering what to do. He doesn't tell his wife that day. He pretends that everything is well but he is a little emotional, and took extra care with his kids but nobody really notice him. There is also isolation in the modern family life. His wife just talking about what happen in his day, complaining about someone. It seems like he can't get the opportunity to tell her, when is the best time.

He is by himself after work, looking at his phone, wondering who to call. His dad, mother, best friend, wife, sister, brother.

He calls his brother. His brother is with his girlfriend.

"I don't know how to say this but I have cance

He meets up with his friend.
His friend is waiting for him in a cafe. Or he's late.
"Do you always have to be late? Haha, it is good to see you, so what's it? I have dinner with my relatives in an hour."
His friend though at first his friend thought he is joking. Silence.
Friend, "For real?" He starts to nod his head, taking in the information. "Who else have you told? Have you told your wife?"
"No, I don't know how to say it."
"You have to tell her, but yes, I know what you mean. She has to know."
"I know."
"There is no right time to tell her, you know. Do your parents know."
"Not yet."
"So who know?"
"Just my brother."
"How did he take it?"
"Surprisingly well, very calm."

Kogarah

I think the film shooting location of the street will be at Kogarah's Railway Parade.

I am super tire, had a long day and going to have a long night and I need a time to nap really if I am to be productive tonight.

I walked into a Vietnamese restaurant run by Chinese speaking accented Cantonese at 530 Princess Highway at Rockdale. I talked to the boss and gave him my number.

There was this cute Asian shop with Hello Kitty stuff and other Japanese cute stuff calls, "Bobo Li" and I think the phone number is 9588-2124. There are several Chinese restaurant down the road.

Across from that store is this large Asian store, "Shopping Paradise" at 74-84 Railway Parade.

Bernie is kicking my ass, and it is good.
