X-Men Origins Wolverine coming up


Happy Birthday to Kian Egan, Kirsten Dunst, Eric Yeow and Mother

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is an upcoming superhero film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Wolverine that will be released in most countries by May 1, 2009. The film is directed by Gavin Hood and stars Hugh Jackman as the title character. It is a prequel to the X-Men film trilogy, focusing on the mutant Wolverine and his time with Team X, before Wolverine's skeleton was bonded with the indestructible metal adamantium. The film was mostly shot in Australia and New Zealand.

Logan aka Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman
The lead character and future X-Men member, his birth name was James Howlett. He possesses animalistic senses, a healing factor that retards his age and bone-claws that protrude from between his knuckles; the latter ability manifested when he was a preteen. Later in the film, he volunteers for the Weapon X program and adamantium is infused into his skeleton.
Victor Creed aka Sabertooth played by Liev Schreiber
Logan's half-brother and fellow soldier. Sabretooth hates him because he loved and needed his half-brother, but is too proud to admit he needs him back. He possesses a healing factor similar to Wolverine's and razor sharp fingernails, and he has a very dangerous animalistic personality.

William Stryker played by Danny Huston
The director of the Weapon X project, he "both loves and hates mutants because his son Jason was a mutant and drove his wife to suicide. So he understands what they're going through, but despises their destructive force."

Kayla Silver Fox played by Lynn Collins
Wolverine's love interest and later captive of Stryker. She possesses a tactile mind control ability on anyone she touches.

Remy LeBeau aka Gambit played by Taylor Kitsch
A Cajun thief who has the ability to charge any object he touches with potential energy, forcing it to explode. The size of the object determines the magnitude of the resulting explosion.

David North aka Agent Zero played by Daniel Henney
A member of the Weapon X program and an expert tracker with lethal marksman skills and jumping abilities.

Wade Wilson aka Deadpool played by Ryan Reynolds
A wisecracking mercenary from Team X who can heal like Wolverine, he is an expert swordsman, martial artist and can also teleport.

John Wraith aka Kestrel played by will.i.am (member of the Black Eyed Peas)
A mutant with the ability to teleport and slowed aging (but not immortal). He is also Blob's manager.

Frederick Dukes aka Blob played by Kevin Durand
A mutant with an indestructible layer of fat. At the start of the film, he is of average build, but as the years progress he has gained an astonishing amount of weight and become morbidly obese.

Chris Bradley aka Bolt played by Dominic Monaghan
This Team X member possesses the ability to manipulate electricity.

Scott Summers aka Cyclops played by Tim Pocock
The future leader of the X-Men is still in high school at the time of the film. He possesses the ability to shoot concussive beams from his eyes, but due to his inability to control this power, he must wear ruby quartz glasses to keep the beams in check.

Emma Frost played by Tahyna Tozzi
About the same age as Cyclops, she is the younger sister of Kayla. She has telepathic powers and is able to convert her skin into diamond.

Sean Cassidy aka Banshee
This Irish mutant possesses a "sonic scream", capable of harming enemies’ auditory systems and causing physical vibrations. He aso possesses a superhuman hearing range, and is a gifted undercover operative.

Weapon XI played by Scott Adkins
This little-known mutant has powers "pooled" from many other mutants killed and/or kidnapped in the film, including Wolverine's healing factor and Cyclops' optic blasts. He is the final antagonist of the film, having been genetically altered to be the ultimate mutant killer.

Pure luck at Zong Yi Go Live! :-D


Happy Birthday to Averil Chan and Esther Lork

I was extremely lucky to have gone for Zong Yi Go Live recording at MediaCorp theater last night, cos eventually I found out halfway during the show that Nat was involved, only after I heard a few gals scream "HE TIAN CI!!"!! I turned around and saw a few Naturals!! Many thanks for the ticket offer, Terence :-)

MEOW!! Adorable feline seen somewere near Heartland Mall. :-)

Amazing sunset taken from the overhead bridge on my way to MediaCorp.

This was how the day started... I took bus from Orchard region after spending some time at Forum and Wheellock Place, but I got off a stop too late. So I had to walk to MDC for about 10 minutes... thankfully the queue had not moved off into the theater yet at the time when I reached the carpark. And yep, Yi Qing was the wubbie for the show.
But then when Terence and myself entered, we saw a few people whom we obviously disliked... namely that Stuttering Hobbit Paul (yucks), that Super-Stinkbomb Lei Jun (super yucks), and even that Loudmouth BLOB Alvin?!?! (ultra YUCKS!!) Alvin damn buay hiao bai can!!!


Anyway, the Zong Yi Go Live episode this time round was focused on street magic, and a bit of hula hoop twirling as portrayed by 3 mei nus (one of them being a pro belly dancer). The celeb magaicians involved were Ben Yeo (doing a card trick), Ann Kok (walkng through a steel plate), Nat Ho (doing a strait jacket escape similar to what MagicBabe Ning did) and Pat Mok (doing some disappearaing acts with a bottle in a paper bag). Based on the voting by Jeremi, Dasmond and Anthony Png, Pat Mok won the round unamimously. As for the hula hoop round, the 3rd contestant was unveiled to be the real belly dancer.


Obviously I went to Radiogate with the other Naturals, and it was there that we took pic with Nat, both in group and individual. Nat looked really tired from nonstop filming for "Polo Boys", but thankfully this was the last week of filming. Pornsak was with him, but he wasn't feeling too well after the live recording, so he stayed in Nat's car to do some work in his laptop. Still, I managed to congratulate the quirky host for his Top 10 win and get his autograph. :-)

After Nat and Pornsak left, we took bus home... I couldnt stop blushing upon the arrival of many mei nus at Ang Mo Kio. And then I saw 4 cats at different locations on my way home, only 2 of them were willing enough to let me stroke them (MEOW!!). Ended off the day by watching Episode 10 of Metamorphosis.
These are the 4 cats as mentioned... MEOW!!! :-)
P.S. can I just say that I am mightily disgusted by that hobbit as well as a certain Miss V who keeps talking very loudly.

Aftermath of Star Awards 2009

Knowing that there was a post-party going on right after the ceremony, and that most of the artistes would come out only after 11 pm, I decided to head to the reception to chill out for a while with some fans of Andie Chen. Fearing that I might miss out on something great, I set off to RG, meeting Ice along the way. I noticed that the Elves were quite an innovative bunch, esp when they stood on top of a lorry and waved their posters/LED boards. :-p

Pictures taken at RG between 2300 to 2330 hrs.


2305 hrs- a van drove out and lots of young fans rushed forward... it was Zoe inside. But I chose not to take pic with her, esp when that abomination (with horrid hairstyle) was present among them. I realized that he had mellowed a lot and become rather moody as of late, so I didn't provoke him at all (even if I were close to getting into another berserker rage). No way am I gonna let one single individual ruin my mood whatsoever. At least I don't have any anger management issues for now.


A few minutes later, a white BMW drove out and parked a little further from Radiogate. It was Hanwei, 3-time Best Actor winner! Thank goodness I didn't miss out. I managed to congratulate him, get his signature and take pic with him once more.


Fast forward to 2325 hrs, Yvonne Lim drove out and took pic with her fanclub. It was at around this time that Jeanette drove out to mingle with her fanclub for quite long.


Soon after came Nat Ho, I didnt know he was present for the event too. I certainly hope that he would get into Top 20 next year.


2335 hrs- Joanne drove out, and was immediately greeted with lots of congratulatory handshakes. Obviously very happy for her. :-)


2345 hrs- Felicia drove out, and the fans gave her some cake (dunno what significance, unfortunately).


2355 hrs- Elvin finally arrived, and Jesseca was with him too! Shuai ge and mei nu... Naomi even remarked that Jess looked a bit like Rui En from afar. :-)


0020 hrs- right after Elvin and Jess left, I hailed a taxi and went back home. Lights out at 0045 hrs and got out of bed before 8 am.

P.S. I am quite aware about a certain A hiding her face away upon the arrival of B, reminds me too much of a similar scenario that happened in mid 2007. I may not know anything about the animosity between A and B, but it still saddens me greatly to learn that they are no longer in good terms since last year. Some things in life are beyond our control...

Star Awards 2009 results

Happy Birthday to Daryl and Ai Jia

This year's Star Awards turned out to be one of surprises and comebacks both shocking and unexpected...

Best Actor- Chen Hanwei (By My Side)
My thoughts: obviously he was the hot favorite among the 6 names, he has already been compared to a similar role played by Tom Hanks in "Philadelphia"... Looks like Ping Hui would have to wait another year to win his first Best Actor award, haiz...

Best Actress- Joanne Peh (The Little Nyonya)
My thoughts: a totally unexpected win, but still deserving nonetheless... dark horse Joanne beating hot faves Jeanette and Chen Liping. Quite similar to Gwyneth Paltrow beating Cate Blancett in the 1998 Academy Awards.

Best Supporting Actor- Chew Chor Meng (The Golden Path)
My thoughts: another shoo-in for this category. His acceptance speech was full of emotion, given his current spinal distrophy condition.

Best Supporting Actress- Xiang Yun and Ng Hui (The Little Nyonya)
My thoughts: truly surprising, never in Star Awards history has there been 2 winners for the same category. It was probably an unaminous decision made by the judging panel. Still, both winners are deserving, esp Ng Hui for her role as the loyal Ah Tao.

Best Newcomer- Dai Yang Tian
My thoughts: obviously a hot favorite, given his rising popularity after his role as kind-hearted Japanese photographer Yamamoto Yousuke in "The Little Nyonya". But then Andie Chen is also another strong contender, with his role as Tianbao in "The Little Nyonya" and first role in "Fighting Spiders".

Best Variety Show Host- Guo Liang (CelebriTea Break)
My thoughts: finally, first ever win for this eloquent and versatile host. And a worthy one I msut say :-)

Best Info-Ed Show Host- Belinda Lee (Come Dance With Me)
My thoughts: another deserving win for this bubbly and spunky VJ-turned-compere. :-)

Best Drama- The Little Nyonya
My thoughts: this is a total no-brainer, given the immense popularity and record-breaking viewership. Then again, Perfect Cut 1 is another possible contender.

Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes: Pornsak, Elvin Ng, Qi Yuwu, Chen Hanwei, Tay Ping Hui, Zheng Geping, Christopher Lee, Mark Lee, Bryan Wong, Henry Thia (?!?!)
My thoughts: fans of Chris and Mark need not worry about televoting next year since both got into Top 10 for the 10th time (and they will be receiving All-Time Favorite Award next year of course). First time winners include a very jubilant Pornsak and a very grateful Geping. Expected for most of the others to get in. Most unexpected (and least deserving IMHO) entrant of all has gotta be Henry Thia aka Alamak... then again, it could be his first lead role in "Love Matters" that secured him a spot.
Lost out: Zhang Yaodong and Gurmit Singh.

Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes: Quan Yifeng, Felicia Chin, Joanne Peh, Vivian Lai, Yvonne Lim, Xiang Yun, Ivy Lee, Jesseca Liu, Rui En, Jeanette Aw
My thoughts: it was indeed a nail-biting session for RBKD and the Jeanius fans when their respective faves were the last 2 names to be announced. Most surprising comeback was Yvonne Lim, who won her second Top 10 award after a 10-year drought. It was an equally great comeback for Joanne too, who last won the award in 2005 and turned 26 the day before. Xiang Yun needs to win this award next year in order to get All-Time Favorite award.
Lost out: Kym Ng and Michelle Chia, both coincidentally among the first few artistes to jump to MediaWorks years ago.

WWE Backlash 2009 tonight


Happy Birthday to Kane, Fendi and Azhar

Wrestle Mania may have been over, but there's still retribution lurking amongst those thirsty for revenge. And that's when Backlash comes into the picture.

Triple H (c), Batista and Shane McMahon vs. The Legacy (Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase)
Six-Man Tag Team match for the WWE Championship; If anyone from Triple H's team wins, Triple H will retain the WWE Championship, however if anyone from The Legacy wins, then Orton will once again become WWE Champion. The match can be won by pinfall, submission, DQ or countout.

John Cena (c) vs. Edge
Last Man Standing match for the World Heavyweight Championship;in this no DQ, no countout match, a wrestler will lose the match if he is unable to answer a ten-count after being downed, similar to the knockout ruling of a boxing match.

Jack Swagger (c) vs. Christian
Singles match for the ECW Championship; Christian made it through an Elimination Chase in the weeks prior, beating Finlay, Tommy Dreamer and Mark Henry.

Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy
"I Quit"
match; the only way to win is to make the opponent say the words "I quit" (usually into a microphone), after dishing a decent amount of punishment onto him.

Chris Jericho vs. Ricky Steamboat

CM Punk vs. Kane
“Money In The Bank”
suitcase on the line
Bah, so few matches yet again... :-/

Dedication to the birthday girl and a few more beauties

Happy Birthday to Joanne Peh and Zairy

Wishing Joanne all the best in everything she does... and that she gets into the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste list once more come tomorrow. I dedicate this song to her as well as a few other girls like FC, RE, JL, and even CC.

Helpless When She Smiles- Backstreet Boys

Oooh yeah...
She keeps her secrets in her eyes
She wraps the truth inside her lies
And just when I can't take what she's done to me
She comes to me
And leads me back to paradise

She's so hard to hold...
But I can't let go...

I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless fire in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I wanna feel
She danced away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles
Oh when she smiles... she smiles

Maybe I'd fight it if I could (maybe I'll fight if I could)
It hurts so bad, but feels so good
She opens up just like a rose to me
When she's close to me
Anything she asked me to, I would

It's out of control... but I can't let go...

I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless fire in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I wanna feel
She danced away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles
Oh yeah, when she smiles

When she looks at me (When she looks at me)
I get so weak

I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless fire in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I wanna feel
She danced away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles
Oh when she smiles
When she smiles... she smiles (when she smiles)
When she smiles... oh when she smiles
When she smiles

More Maya 8.5 creations, plus my thoughts on MLM

Happy Birthday to Syafiq and Lynette

There are a few more creations I did via Maya 8.5 software...


Yes, this cross ornament was really made on Good Friday. Moreover I was feeling kinda 'religious' at that time... :-p


Trojan helmet... or is it a Spartan helmet? You decide.


Obviously the fans of the X-Men comics should know very well what these claws represent... they are the weapons of a very popular comic hero and made a certain Hugh Jackman a megastar.

If I have to be brutally honest about one thing, I seriously don't give a shit about Venture Era anymore... it was certainly the best decision I made by no-showing for the supposed appointment on Tuesday evening, and even better ignoring SMSes or phone calls from that pimple-faced tramp. Who cares about that agency anyway, never mind if it promises 'no capital and no loan' for part-timers or freelancers, or personal development for those who are rather timid? I know that this offer is too good to refuse (esp since those few who are able to attain a certain number of closed values will be awarded a car incentive), but I personally feel that Multi-Level Marketing was never my thing anyway... moreover, making appointments with random people via phone call is the last thing I would ever do, way too difficult. I can't even imagine myself in a suit and tie... so to the employees of Venture Era, I have only this to say... YOU CAN'T SEE ME.

Dedication to all Cena fans

Happy Birthday to John Cena


Wishing Cena all the best of luck in defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Edge in the Last Man Standing match this coming Sunday at Backlash 2009... this is the theme song he once used from 2002 to March 2005.

BASIC THUGANOMICS (John Cena's old theme song)

So, you think you're untouchable?

[Chorus]
Word life, this is basic thuganomics, this is ba-basic thuganomics
Word life, I'm untouchable but I'm forcing you to feel me!
Word life, this is bas-basic thuga-thuga-thuganomics
Word life, I'm untouchable but I'm forcing you to feel me!

[Cena]
Whether fighting or spitting, my discipline is unforgiven
Got you backing up in a defensive position
An ass-kickin anthem
Heavyweight or bantam, holding camps for ransom
A microphone phantom
Teams hit the floor, this the new fight joint
Like a broken needle, kid you missin' the point
We dominate your conference with offense
That's no nonsense, my theme song hits
Get your reinforcements
We strike quick with hard kicks, duckin' nightsticks
Bare knuckles makes you fight this, beat you lifeless
Never survive this, you're forgot like Alzheimer's
Two-faced rappers walk away with four shiners
The war rhymer, turning legends to old-timers
My incisors is like a viper biting through your one-liners
New Deadman Inc, and we about to make you famous
Taking over Earth and still kicking in Uranus!

[Chorus]
Word life, this is basic thuganomics, this is ba-basic thuganomics
Word life, I'm untouchable but I'm forcing you to feel me!
Word life, this is bas-basic thuga-thuga-thuganomics
Word life, I'm untouchable but I'm forcing you to feel me!

[Trademarc:]
You ain't advanced enough to process potential for medical concepts
The objects are foreign, like block tests, fonts, and sex
Are complex regardless of your finesse and your fitness
It's a condition of business
Your lame vision of an underground physical image
I'm underneath to undermine your whole typical image
With the precision of percentages, and the collision of sentences
Poetry, beats and mics, we untouchable like ridges
Sluts with no prevaceses, streets unite
We rock brighter with dumber beats
Yo cats couldn't come this hot if they burst off in the summer heat
But get two tapes, kill your birds the first time
Your friendly state worthy of my filler or worse rhymes
I'm better than knights, check the veteran stripes
Leave you beside yourself in fear, I'll kill you and bury you twice
Despite the cover of night, tracking your flight
Like Guerilla Warfare, where the grass is dense
Approaching me is a quick way to get referred to in the past tense
Said that, when the lights or mic is on
The crowd is dead, like it in the mission when you're on the Titantron

[Chorus:]
Word life, this is basic thuganomics, this is ba-basic thuganomics
Word life, I'm untouchable but I'm forcing you to feel me!
Word life, this is bas-basic thuga-thuga-thuganomics
Word life, I'm untouchable but I'm forcing you to feel me!

Blunt and honest message to a certain fella...

To this certain person whom most people despise... here I am dissing about you once more, something I haven't done for some time already. You who are so full of weaknesses and can't seem to change for the better, and even acknowledging the fact that your life has become a joke when you can't even learn to save a portion of your own money for at least one week. You think you can act "oh-so-humble-and-low-profile" now that you've started your first week in Republic Poly and made new friends?? Sooner or later they're gonna find out your true colors and your bad points, like how you care only for yourself and very little for your own family, how you wasted so much money (most of it from your own parents!!) on branded products, body wrapping, professional haircuts and facial treatments. Not to forget your extremely crappy hairstyle, your grotesque mutilated face and your habits of taking pictures of yourself way too often. Plus your long-windedness in certain matters, your superbly low IQ and your morbid obsession over your favorite singer. Seriously, who doesn't already know about your sickening demeanors, how badly you want to 'get intimate' with your fave singer?? At one time you even remarked that "some things are better left unsaid", and you still go and say it!!

Another thing I wanna state is about your blogging history... I happen to be blogging longer than you since May 2006, and abt 3 years after I started this blog of mine, I still got about 60% of memory remaining!! And how about you??? You just keep uploading pictures, dissing nonsense about yourself, whining and complaining about certain mistakes you made... not even half the month has passed and already the total post count for the first 10 days of March have hit more than 50!! Then by the end of March, your post count have hit an astonishing 120!!! And within less than 2 years, you have used up all the memory for your first blog and you have to create another one!!! And why the hell are you always posting up weekly pictures on the viewership for your entries??? Do you think that by blogging on a regular basis and putting up a million pictures of yourself, you can 'earn more friends and become more popular'??? Let's take a look at the post counts for the more recent months...

April 2009 (62)
March 2009 (126)
February 2009 (67)
January 2009 (87)
December 2008 (95)
November 2008 (77)
October 2008 (70)
September 2008 (80)


Tell me honestly, is there really a need for you to say this much trash in your retarded blog??? And please for goodness sake STOP LAUGHING OUT LOUD (LOL) already, even if you intend to audition for a future role as The Joker or a similar villain!!!

You know damn well that I have got a fucking problem with you, as much as you can't stand me. I'm warning you, you had better not rub it in again if you happen to see me, cos next time I see you, I will really kick the shit out of your skull. I dare you to shoot back at me!! If you want some, then COME GET SOME!!! :-(

Star Awards Professional Categories

Happy Birthday to Michelle Chong and Jessica Tan

Yesterday, I went to Centerpoint for an interview, then I bought a wrestling figure elsewhere before taking a train to City Hall. I then went over to Marina Square to meet up with Naomi and Ryan. We had dinner at Secret Recipe located at "Center Stage". We then headed to Mandarin Oriental to wait for various celebs. We saw Felicia, Guo Liang, Darren Lim, Zhen Huan, Zzen Zhang, Kym, Fiona and a few others... obviously we weren't the only fans present (though I was rather dismayed by the arrival of Paul and CY). We spent most of the time waiting outside the hotel, either reading magazines or listening to music. I did ogle at the female hotel attendants for a while (you can see their slender legs peeping out from the wide cuts on their dresses), and I also seized the opportunity to continuously tease a certain xiaomeimei... I'll leave you to guess her name, muahaha (hint: a certain mouse-face).

After a rather long wait from 7 to 10 pm, the event eventually ended. We learnt that the results were announced at abt 8.30 pm, followed by dinner. Me and the others managed to take pic with Guo Liang and Zzen outside the hotel. Then we headed to the parking lot to chat with Felicia. Fel was very sweet, she gave me a box of lemon-flavored candies as a birthday gift. But she also quite funny... when she wrote a birthday message in my notebook, she thought I was 18 years old!! :-p I had to tell her that I'm actually the same age as Joanne, just a few days older. I nearly fainted cos the parking lot was humongous and stuffy, we were filled with perspiration.

Right after Fel drove off, we took cab back to our respective homes. I reached home in time to watch Metamorphosis episode 6 by a few minutes!!

Results for the Professional Categories can be seen here... http://community.mediacorp.com.sg/TV/CS/blogs/baguatv/archive/2009/04/21/tuesday-night-the-star-awards-2009-winners-announced-at-mandarin-oriental-hotel-now.aspx


Just to warn you first, not everyone is allowed into the premises of Mandarin Oriental. Best recommended to wait outside. It puzzles me how Paul and the fat cat fella (forgot his name) can even get a seat inside the waiting area in first place...


A rather huge coach waiting to fetch foreigners from the hotel to another location.


Leggy babes by the entrance of the hotel, oo-la-la. There were actually about 5 of them in total, but the other 3 moved rather fast. Fortunately, these 2 are the ones with slightly better figures to boot, hehe. :-)


Me with Guo Liang, hot fave for Best Variety Show Host.


Me with Zzen aka Robert Zhang, one of the hot faves for Best Supporting Actor.


Felicia looking elegant in a black dress. Somehow reminds me of a certain Miss WG... WHOOPS!


Fel and me again, and we're both in black. I swear the wavy victory pose was unintentional, but it looked more like a special effect, hehe.


Thanks a lot for the birthday message, Fel! Even if you made a slight mistake in stating my age, haha!! :-p
