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.
Sitting on the railing can be rsiky as the child can fall into the sea.

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.
