18. Health care. Correct shoes are needed for limping people over 30 years old

Went to a podiatrist some 4 weeks ago. I had bought a thin insole from Arch Angel. The podiatrist examined me and put a pad to elevate the medial part of the heel. The thin insole was not good as it began to flatten out (said to last 6 weeks instead of 2 years unlike the good ones). So, my left ankle and left side of the calf msucle and left foot became painful again.

Both the podiatrist and the shoe seller did not tell me that the thin insole is not good as it flattens out with wear. It has no substance inside.

On Dec 18, 2018, I saw the shoe seller again. This time he told me that the insole had flattened out and moved inside the shoe. Hence, imbalance of my walk leading to pain. A better quality higher insole was recommended.

16. Health care Good health in a young lady

You can see that this young lady is in excellent health.

1. General appearance. Healthy.
2. Weight. Not thin.

Many of her peers in eat very little to remain very slim or ate snacks when hungry. They will order several dishes at a restaurant and eat 10%.

These are not good practices if they want long-term health or babies. After marriage, many put on too much weight and do not monitor their high cholesterol levels which may lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks.

May 8, 2018, 10 am - 11.30 am. Bright sunshine.  Esplanade and Merlion, Singapore. Tourists.
Acquire skills of digital photography by practice.

I share how the following photos were taken by me.

CAMERA

SOFTWARE
Photoshop Adobe CC




It takes around 3 hours to process selected photos for posting on this webpage.


Young people must have the 4 virtues:
persistence, determination, confidence and humility.
Learn to cultivate a clear mindset and not let negative thoughts get in the way.
Acquire new skills like digital photography.  

At the Esplanade

A tour manager needs to account for the number of travellers before the coach moves to a new destination. Much stress for her since many travellers do not bother to be punctual or be together.  

Use shadow/highlights in Adobe to lighten up the face. It was in deep shadows originally.

At the Merlion

At this spot, many tourists pose with "surrender" hands. I cannot figure why.

Tourists enjoy taking photos in the Merlion area. In December 2017, the Merlion was dirty and the spout had rust stains. I wrote to the Singapore Tourism Board to let the officials know it was an eye sore for photographers. No reply from the Board. Today, I note the Merlion had been painted white and looks great on photography.
