Idea 1

Wei Jie, a young, teenage boy is in his room. His hands are trembling as he attempts to put on his clothing. Sweat beading down his pale, frightened face. His sister Xin Ting, calls out to him from the living room, prompting him to hurry up. Wei Jie leaves the room and heads out the house with Xin Ting.

They arrive at a night market (Pasar Malam). The siblings are enjoying each others’s company and they are have having fun. The brother starts to notice some bruises on the arm of the sister. He spots a few more on her leg. Wei Jie asks his sister where the bruises came from.  Xin Ting actively tries to avoid answering the question. Wei Jie got annoyed by the sister’s attempts to avoid the question. He confronts her sternly and asks if the bruises came from their father. Xin Ting does not reply she simply looks down with sadness on her face.

Wei Jie is now back in his room at home. He strips off his shirt and slumps down onto the floor. His knees buckling under his weight. He stares at the closed door with a blank expression. Tears starts to well up in his eyes. He bursts into violent fits of tears. Slowly, his cries transitions into a slight smirk and then a hysterical laugh.

The camera tracks away from Wei Jie to reveal a hand slumped over the edge of the bed. Blood dripping down the hand into a pool on the floor.

Idea 2

Story of a guy who has the habit of writing into his journal daily. One day he notices that there is a new entry in his  journal which he did not write. The journal entry calls for his attention and warns him of some sort of impending danger. He simply ignores the entry, thinking that someone must have gotten hold of his journal and tried to play a prank on him.

Over time, the journal entry starts to get increasingly personal, stating very personal facts about the main character in an attempt to convince him . He figures that every night, someone comes into his room and tampers with his notebook. The decides to lock the journal into a safe. The next morning, he opens up the safe and realises that the book is no longer in the safe but on his table. The journal is spread open with the words “you have to trust me” scribbled over 2 pages. He realises that the person is another version of himself ( like a split personality). He flips through the pages and realise that the entries that were written by the other version of him contains a set of instructions that would lead him to a location. (I have to figure out the significance of the location)

When he goes back home, he goes to bed. At night, we see that the pages that were written by the other version of him were all torn away.

Idea 3

John is waiting for a bus at a rather isolated bus stop. The seat is occupied by a mysterious man. The mysterious man stands up and gives John his seat. John was perplexed by his gesture but sits down out of courtesy. Immediately, he shuffles away quickly. After walking for a distance, the man stops, sighs and turns back. He approaches John and explains to him that anyone who sits on the chair would be framed for a murder that just happened. (for a reason I have not yet figures out) He can’t leave the chair unless he finds someone to take his place on the chair.

The mysterious man walks away from John who is left to figure out how to save himself.
