Cloudy corneas in the green tree frog is due to traumatic injury to the cornea. A fluorescein eye stain test shows greenish colour in the injurred corneas.

Met a happy Singaporean, a 72-year-old trim brown tanned road sweeper contracted by Super 800 to sweep leaves off the roads around Blk 1002, 1003 and 1004. "I am supposed to wear the protective jacket," he said. "But it is too hot." I told him that the SATS cleaner is forced to wear this jacket with luminous strips to protect them from being knocked down by cars, but it is extremely hot.
5.5 day-week. 7 am to 4 pm weekday. Sat 7 am to 12 noon. Gross about S$1800. "Foreigners come here to work and get paid less, so that their families can survive," he said. "Yet, my relatives' children do not wish to work. This is not right."
Two sons and daughters grown up and doing OK. One daughter is a housewife.The other 3 had jobs. One son-in-law at first did not want to work, but after being told off, he now worked and earned $2000 in logistics. He has grandchildren. So, all are okay.
Works for exercise and life is expensive in Singapore. Retired or retrenched from bus mechanic job (Covid-19), technician and cleaner jobs. Supported 4 children.
1. "Family court has jails," he told me. "If the offender refuses to pay maintenance for his kids, the judge will pack him off to Changi Prison. He will have to produce his POSB book and all accounts including pay slips. One offender with 4 children paid $100/m for 24 months. He earns $2000 pm."
"He has to go to Changi Prison or pay up the balance and more, maybe $300 per child. He had to borrow from loan sharks to avoid going to Changi Prison. Then he had to negotiate with his wife not to make him
lose his job as she would not get any money!"
2. "As for my children, I will lecture them on taking drugs and not wanting to work," he told me. "I will ask them to talk to the wall to ask whether I talked sense to them."
3. He does a good job of clearing fallen leaves on the road as seen in this photo at 4.30PM. He sweeps about twice a day.

Today we are going to a suburb called Cabramatta. It is in Fairfield City and has a population of around 20,000. More than 100km from Sydney.
It used to be a Vietnamese enclave in the 1990s when there was an exodus of Vietnamese fleeing the country by boat to Australia during the war. It was a notorious hub for drug traffickers and drug users.
Crime and violence were rife then, but now very much cleaned up and transformed into a multi racial community, but still with lots of Vietnamese presence and influence. For example, they celebrate Chinese New year, rice dumplings festivals etc many shops there are operated by Vietnamese and they speak Cantonese and Teochew as well. The rich businessmen drive BMWs and Mercedes.
Eastern part of Cabramatta is predominantly Korean enclave while the Western part is Asian including Vietnamese, Indonesians, Middle Eastern, China Nationals, Malaysians
Many tourists come to Cabramatta to buy clothing and vegetables. Numerous vegetable shops in the vicinity. Green grocers or Fresh World are the vegetable retailers. Farms in the area - winter crops. (Queensland has most farms).
Very large and long shop selling Asian goods and products, but no image is available.

A VIBRANT TOWN.

Morning rush hour. Photo from inside the coach.
[8:34 am, 26/09/2022] David Sing: Good morning. A photo of the noodles offered by the hotel restaurant in the morning. This hotel has a scenic view of the mountain resorts, rice terraces and clouds on the mountains. Photography tip: Focus on the seeds of the red chillis. I took several photos and only one is sharp.
[8:36 am, 26/09/2022] David Sing: For a lady who sends me food photos of her mother's cooking and has an interest in food photos.
[8:37 am, 26/09/2022] David Sing: Try to improve and research on how to send me better photos. Best not just snap with handphone and send
PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS. How to get faces of all people visible?
I used techniques from landscape photography to get sharper images.
"Hyperfocal distance" is to focus roughly on the first 1/3 of the scene
Important tip is to use F16 - 18.
I share the settings:
AV Mode, F16, Focus on the boy nearest to me (about 20 feet away).
You can see the faces of people in the group are almost all sharp.
