Bridgestone Potenza RE001

Yokohama Parada Spec 2 was a good tyre. Overall performance on dry road was good. For wet surface, better than AD07.

Got some review on Bridgestone Potenza RE001. The urge to try out this tyre had been pressing me so I thought why not. So, I sold off the Parada and get 4 new RE001.

I had to wait for almost 1 month after Parada sold off before I could see RE001. Luckily the tyre shop owner was kind enough to lend me 1 set of rims and tyres. :)

On Thursday, James told me that the owner of tyre shop called him up and told him that RE001 had arrived. Finally...the anticipated Bridgestone Potenza RE001 had turn up. ;)

So, on Saturday, I went to exchange the current rims and tyres (borrowed from tyre shop) with my rims and new RE001.

The threads are so nice and different. Very interesting. It had mounted to the rims when I reached there. So, the installation process begins. After alignment and payment made, I took a ride with these new tyres.

My comment would be...very silent and nice grip on dry (still in run-in progress). To my surprise, the comfort level is very high. You won't feel too bumpy riding on these RE001. Very nice feel I would say. But I don't how's the performance of these tyres on track. ;P

Old Master Q (Lao Fu Zhi) Event

Old Master Q a.k.a Lao Fu Zhi. I'm sure almost everyone are familiar with this funny and great character. When I was small, I used to read it when I went for a hair cut. It's a good time passing while waiting and cutting hair. It has developed a reading interest in me which made me likes to read. You guys should encourage your children to read non-violent comics or story books. :)

On Friday, Abbie went to shopping with her friend at Ipoh Parade. On that day, she bumped into Old Master Q a.k.a Lao Fu Zhi mascot. There were 2 of the characters that appeared. Old Master Q and Potato a.k.a Da Fan Shu. She was so happy because this characters were among her favourite. So, she took a few pictures with the mascots. She found out that on Sunday, the author (creator) of Old Master Q and friends will be coming to Ipoh Parade for an event. So we had planned to have our Old Master Q toys to be signed by the author.

On Sunday, we went as early as 10.15am coz I'm afraid it will be full for the parking space. Well, no harm to be early coz we can have brunch at Ipoh Parade. There's lots of diners in Ipoh Parade. :)

After brunch, we just walked around and waiting for the event to kick off. At 12.30pm, we could see someone from the organizers were begining to arrange everything. Then at 1.15pm, the author, Prof Wong Chak arrived with VIPs to the stage. Yeah..you guys are right, the author of Old Master Q is a Professor. ;)

Then the event started with speeches from VIPs. Then Old Master Q and Potato mascots came out and gave a stunning performance of Hip Hop Dance. What a show. Really good. ;P

Kids around were so excited that when the mascots were leaving, they stormed like a swarm of bees towards them. Haha. That's great, not much people and we can line up at the front to get signature. Haha.. :P

Well, we sure got our signature from Prof Wong Chak on our toys. Really priceless coz Prof did it carefully and with lots of patience. I think he gave a lot of attention and patience in his comic drawing as well. :)
