Thanks Jacob. Shooting with you is always my pleasure!

Good shots!

HI MM, tks for viewing. I recall #1, the aim point is the eyes. Just that the eyes so small, and the butt so big, that the butt looks out of focus. Shooting from the rear is never the best composition, but I wanted to show the look of this bug from diff angles.
Thanks for the feedback anyway!

Excellent captures, lighting good, well-detailed and good composition.

Wanton mee also good.

Kennie, thanks for viewing! I think an award for best spotter should go to you. The rest of us all blur blur, but you someone have a knack for spotting everything. I think 90% of the bugs this morning were spotted by you! LOL

Lance, Thanks for viewing! I brought the bunch to the 6th avenue Wanton mee. Located at the corner coffee shop, at the junction between Anamalai Avenue and Sixth Avenue, just next to Lily Avenue. Run by an old aunty and her daughter. Got newspaper cutting kind! Map link is here http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_35304/travel_site_34082/

They have the usual wanton mee, or wanton meepok, and you can 'geh liao' with yongtau foo, or mushrooms or chicken feet in black sauce!

I just need my wanton mee fix every now and then. Been eating here for the last 30 years.
