Seniors on Saturday Day Out

Saturday morning at Marine Terrace Market. I was having my breakfast at the coffee shop and I saw this group of seniors on wheelchairs with their helpers. These seniors needed help and there were other seniors on their personal mobility devices moving around in this market too.

Extract from Ministry of Health:
"Singapore is one of the fastest-ageing countries in the world. The United Nations defines a country as 'ageing' if the share of its population aged 65 and above crosses 7%. It is considered ‘aged’ if the share exceeds 14%. Once the share reaches 21%, it is 'super aged'. We are an aged society and projected to attain ‘super aged’ status in 2026. By 2030, 1 in 4 citizens will be aged 65 and above."

I am already above 65, I don't want to be like these seniors when I get much older. It is a wake up call for me. First thing first, I need to loose some weight, exercise more and perhaps, sketch and paint more!

I used a fountain pen with diluted ink and probably needs cleaning. The ink flow was not good but it gave this sketch another character and a different feel.
