My WWE Figure Collection

Happy Birthday to Terry "Rhino" Gerin, Chia Aik Lin, Tan Liping and Jerrald Yeo

As promised, here are pictures of some of the WWE figures that I have... I still got a few more wrestling figures other than these, but for now I'm showing you the Superstars who are in the current roster.


The Big Red Monster... KANE!! I bought this for myself on my 21st birthday back in 2004. There is indeed a strong resemblance between the figure and Glen Jacobs. I used black marker to draw a glove and wristband for Kane; the elbow pads were taken from another wrestling figure (not featured in this lineup). Kane came with a shovel, but I didn't make use of that so often. I brought it along during the Smackdown/ECW Tour at the Indoor Stadium last year, where Kane was among the wrestlers who were part of the show.


The Undertaker, Big Evil Biker persona (2002-2003). One of my army friends bought this for me as an advanced 21st birthday gift, about a week before I bought the Kane figure. It was actually a bootleg figure sold in Comics Connection, but I didn't mind at all. I used marker to draw tattoos on the figure's arms and chest, and even the word "SARA" on his neck (it's a shame that he got it removed recently). And it's rather hard to get the current Phenom version of Mark Callaway.


The Animal, BATISTA!!! I bought this guy in mid June, hours before I went to see Felicia at Bugis Junction, and a day before I went for a holiday in Thailand. I chose this one out of a few variations of Batistas (but I never expected him to go botak again soon after, arghhh). Yeah, and I find it hard to believe that Dave Batista's already a grandfather at 39 years old (his older daughter having given birth to twin boys earlier this year). Good life to be a young Ah Gong!! :-p



The Marine... JOHN CENA!!! I bought him along with Batista. It's a pity that his mouth can't close. There were other versions of Cena at Chinatown, but I liked this the most. He looks better in green pants than in blue pants IMO... looking forward to his return at the 2008 Survivor Series.


The Game... TRIPLE H!!! I bought him from Robo Robo nearly 2 weeks ago. I used black marker to color his elbows to serve as elbow pads. It seems that Paul Levesque can't do the Pedigree properly, given his rather huge thighs. Also, his left foot seemed rather loose...


And last but not least, the Heartbreak Kid, SHAWN MICHAELS!! This is the one I bought from Robo Robo just a few days ago. I actually wanted to get a HBK toy in black trousers with red and white linings, but it seemed that it was for display purpose only. So I decided to buy this figure at the main store instead (one with Christian motifs on his pants). Only setback is, Michael Hickenbottom's right arm seems a bit loose, so I have to take extra caution when handling HBK. It's a pity he didn't win the World Title at No Mercy, but I believe there will be a next time...


It's D-Generation X!! Break it down!!

Triple H: Are you ready? No!! I said, ARE YOU READY??? Then for the thousands in attendance... and the millions watching at home... and also for that despicable fella named Sean Koh who can't get enough of boasting about his belongings and achievements, and also for the WWE fans who want to see that boy get his butt kicked. Lllllll.... let's get ready to suck it!!

Shawn Michaels: And if you or anyone out there ain't down with that, then we've got TWO WORDS for ya... (SUCK IT!!)


Batista and Cena were the final 2 of the 2005 Royal Rumble... they would go on to become first-time Champions for their respective brands at WrestleMania 21, then get drafted to the other's brand (Cena to Raw, Batista to Smackdown) a few months later, meet up in interpromotional tag team matches, and eventually go one-on-one at Summerslam 2008.


Behold the Brothers of Destruction!! Established since 1998... Undertaker and Kane are top-billing Superstars of their own rights. Bet some of you didn't know that Undertaker first faced Kane in the 1997 Royal Rumble, back when the latter was known as the Fake Diesel.


So there you have it... 6 A-list Superstars, all former World Champions... 5 of them being Royal Rumble winners. The miniature title belts were bought alongside the HBK figure. While Kane isn't a Royal Rumble winner, he did win the ECW Battle Royale, and went on to defeat Chavo Guerrero to become ECW Champion at WrestleMania XXIV.

• Batista, Royal Rumble 2005 winner, 3-time former World Heavyweight Champion.
• John Cena, Royal Rumble 2008 winner, 3-time former WWE Champion.
• Kane, ECW Battle Royale winner, former WWE Champion, former ECW Champion.
• Shawn Michaels, Royal Rumble 1995 and 1996 winner, 3-time former WWE Champion, former World Heavyweight Champion.
• Triple H, Royal Rumble 2002 winner, 7-time WWE Champion, 5-time former World Heavyweight Champion.
• The Undertaker, Royal Rumble 2007 winner, 4-time former WWE Champion, 2-time former World Heavyweight Champion.

Knowing about yourself by reading a certain book...

Happy Birthday to Terence Cao, Manu (from WWE), Seng Kwann and Xueting

I read this particular section in Our Daily Bread, and found it to be rather meaningful. Thus I am going to take this time to share it with everyone here...

The Bible is the all-time bestselling book, but in some parts of the world it is banned because it is considered "dangerous and unorthodox". The Bible is dangerous, however, only to those who are afraid of finding out where they went wrong. It's dangerous to those who exploit the weak and the inncoent, who use force to keep others enslaved in poverty and ignorance, who don't want to give up their sinful ways, and who believe that "salvation can be found apart from Christ" (which is not true at all).

No one wants to be told they are wrong (sad but true). No one wants to hear that their behavior is putting themselves and their loved ones in danger, or that God's patience will eventually wear out. Yet that was the message God told the prophet Jeremiah to write down (Jeremiah 36:2)... "Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you... Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about every disaster I plan to inflict on them, everyone will turn from his eveil way, that i may forgive their wickedness and sin."

When His message was read to King Jehoiakim, the king simply cut up the scroll and threw into the fire (verses 23). The king simply showed no fear and would not listen to the pleas from the advisors to refrain from burning the scroll; instead, he ordered for the arrest of Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah (verses 24 to 26). Yet Jeremiah didn't give up, he sent a few more scrolls to King Jehoiakim and continued to trust in the Lord, even at the expense of being thrown into jail.

The only way to know we are right is to be willing to discover where we are wrong. Read the all-time bestselling "banned book", and let it reveal to you the truth about God- and about yourself.

P.S. CAN YOU DIG THAT, MKP/KOH TS??? Only YOU can change yourself for the better if you are willing to do some self-reflection and realize the errors of your ways. Who the f**k are you to say that others have 'no life' when you yourself have NO LIFE at all?? I know too well that you're going to delete (or should I say, 'cut up and burn'?) the next comment I'm planning to drop in any of your Youtube videos, that's why I've decided to make this message much more direct by publishing it here, even though I sense that you're not gonna read it anyway. However, if you're going to turn a deaf ear on this advice and continue to be the abominable, despicable S.O.B. that you've always been... then I'm sorry to say, you might just as well GTH. IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!!!

My predictions for No Mercy 2008

Happy Birthday to William Chin and Serene

The main poster for No Mercy 2008 looks rather monotonous, much like the Unforgiven 2008 poster (the one with Batista yelling in anger). Even the font for the date of the PPV event looks rather terrible. What happened to the design team's sense of proper layout, color consistency and variety? I would appreciate it if more color were featured on the poster, not just black, white or grey. Never mind if Jeff Hardy is featured in it...

Ladder match for the World Heavyweight Championship- Chris Jericho (c) vs Shawn Michaels
Jericho had become a totally different person in recent months after his return late last year, and had lost the respect of many fans with his repeated assaults on Shawn Michaels and his wife. Just when everyone thought that Y2J had gotten his just desserts after the Unsanctioned Match, he shocked the world by replacing an injured CM Punk in the Championship Scramble and going on to win the World Title at Unforgiven. Even so, his shocking win only further intensified the hatred from the detractors. And can someone tell Y2J that he looks freakin gay in his new underwear attire? As for HBK, he has not held a World title since 2002, and my only request, should HBK win the title again, is that the title reign lasts for 3 to 4 mths at the most. (provided the WWE scriptwriters even allow HBK to become World Champ again in first place)

WWE Championship match- Triple H (c) vs Jeff Hardy
I don't know what you guys think, but Jeff Hardy seems a bit over-rated to me. He's not exactly a good wrestler and all he knows is fly around, put his body at risk and perform stunts. Then again, the Cerebral Assassin had also been labelled as 'over-rated', way back since 2003 (with a 9-mth reign as World Champ, and winning the title for 3 more times). But since Triple H is one of the top players of the WWE and has been a 12-time world champ, I feel it's about time that the Xtreme High-Flyer be given his due. So long as that Russian bear known as Vladimir Koslov doesn't poke his nose in their business...

ECW Championship match- Matt Hardy (c) vs Mark Henry
Matt Hardy had come a long way to win this title (never mind if its prestige value isn't equal to that of the World Title or WWE Title), and he will certainly retain the title, that's for sure!! And I'm not even gonna talk about the World's Sweatiest Man.

Match for No. 1 contender for World Title- Batista vs JBL
The Animal will win this one, I guarantee it!! JBL is still a boring piece of trash. Who can ever forget the time when the self proclaimed Wrestling God held the WWE Title for 10 months??

Women's Championship match- Beth Phoenix vs Candice Michelle
Former Playboy covergirl Candice Michelle makes a return after months of absence due to a clavicle injury caused by the Glamazon earlier this year. Although I'm not so enthusiastic towards woemn competition (save for bikini bashes, haha), I would like to see Miss Go-Daddy kick the Glamazon's @$$ bigtime.

The Undertaker vs The Big Show
The Big Show had gone rogue and allied himself with Vickie Guerrero at Unforgiven, by helping the Smackdown GM fend off The Undertaker, who was planning to "send her to hell". But even with Big Show being the Smackdown GM's latest protege, Vickie still fell victim to a Tombstone (her 2nd one btw) by the Phenom, and it seems like Big Show is the only one left. Big Show had been underused as of late ever since his return to the WWE early this year... his loss to Floyd Maywether at WrestleMania 24 could indeed be the biggest slap on the face of the World's Biggest Athlete, who is the only person to win the WWE Title, WCW Title and ECW Title. As for Undertaker, the "old dog" of the company, he is yearning for revenge onto Vickie for stripping him off the World Title and for temporarily banishing him from the WWE. Taker and Big Show have squared off before, and they even formed a brief alliance back in 1999, as the indestructible tag team known as "Armageddon". Question is... what will Taker do next after the PPV, now that he's destroyed Edge and Vickie? On a personal note, it's a shame that Taker no longer has the "Sara" tattoo on his neck since late last year, which could only mean one thing... he is divorced.

Kane vs Rey Mysterio
Given the fact that Kane had ripped off Rey's mask before (offscreen that is), it seems evident that Rey's dignity is going to be at stake. Kane had nearly suceeded in ripping Rey's mask off after a match, til Evan Bourne came to the rescue. Kane has gotten a much bigger advantage over the high-flyer in terms of strength and power. Despite being one of the smaller-sized male Superstars in the roster, Rey compensates with his agility, quick wits and daredevil stunts. Somehow I got a feeling that Rey may lose, considering that he was unmasked before in WCW... we all know what Rey looks like without the mask right? You can check out the videos on Youtube ;-)

I can't believe my luck... :-O

Am I dreaming? Til now, I still find it hard to believe that earlier today, I bumped into one of the Princesses... one whom I had last seen only weeks ago!!! :-O

You see, I first went to Chinatown to have lunch and then I went to China Square Central to look through some Power Ranger robots and some wrestling figures (among many other stuff). Then I took a bus to Exclusior Plaza and went straight into the Robo Robo store (a toy store selling Marvel figures, Star Wars toys, WWE figures, Power Ranger robots, Transformers, etc). My main purpose of going to China Square Central and Robo Robo was to buy a Shawn Michaels toy, having bought a Triple H toy from there a week before. I knew earlier that there were 3 more versions of Shawn Michaels at the other side of the basement, but I learnt from the shopkeepers that all the toys at the 'darkened sector' were for display purposes only and not for sale... so I resorted to buying the remaining HBK figure at the main shop, along with 2 mini World Title belts as a special treat. Stay tuned for pictures on the WWE figures... ;-)

After purchasing HBK, I decided to go to Funan Center at abt 4 pm to check out some new macintosh products at a computer hardware store known as Multimedia, and soon after I entered, I saw this very familiar-looking girl in long-sleeved striped shirt and jeans. I looked closely and immediately realized who it was!! My eyes nearly popped out and my mouth just opened in shock...

OH MY GOSH!!! IT IS!! IT IS!! IT REALLY IS...!!! :-O

(She really is this skinny in person, haiz.)

Although I was in danger of getting tongue-tied (given my weakness with pretty girls), I managed to 'muster the strength and courage' to call out her name rather weakly, and she responded in surprise! I was too shocked to even say Obi-Wan's classic phrase of "Hello there", cos i so totally didnt expect to see her again. Still I asked her, "Boy am I surprised to see you yet again... what are you doing here?" She told me that she was gonna buy a new computer along with her dad. Then I went to one corner and took a pic of her secretly with my camera phone. I got a feeling her dad might have seen that...

5 minutes later, Rui En bade me farewell and she left the place wif her dad (for the carpark, I presume), and my heart was still beating very quickly from all that excitement. One of the Multimedia personnel had to calm me down for a while, and so I told him that I last saw her a few weeks ago, and also that I had known her for years (really!). After which, I browsed through the various functions of the Macintosh notebook. After everything, I wen back home for dinner. Man had I not gone to Funan just now, I wouldve missed out on something great!!! What a stroke of luck... :-S

Obviously I opted not to take pic wif Rui En (altho I would very much like to) in due respect to her privacy, and also because her dad was around. Even if she were alone in a non-artiste rleated event, I still would choose not to take pic wif her, having learnt my lesson from that stupid incident with Felicia months ago. I want to make it clear that I am not a desperado or a paparazzi, and that there's always a next time when it comes to taking pic with her or anyone in general. And I'm afraid I can't show anyone of you the pic that I secretly took anywhere in the WWW, I hope you understand.

But one thing's for certain... Rui En sure brightened up my day!! And I thank God for it... yes, I did do the Shawn Michaels praise session more than once... not just in real life, but also for my PSP!! :-p

Non-happening weekend again...

Happy Birthday to...
3rd Oct (ytd)- John Morrison, Claire (Platinum), Jeszlene Zhou
4th Oct (tdy)- Mike Adamle

Yesterday during work, I had been mugging on a rather tough assignment, one which requires me to Google for over 1000 companies and locate the email addresses for some of them. Talk about tough searches... I obviously ain't gonna take up too much time on that during the weekends. I'm still contemplating where to go later... esp since there aren't any roadshows for the week (other than those at Suntec). And given the recent economy crash and other crises, it's no surprise that this year's President Star Charity show got very low publicity... and fewer stars involved as well.

On to Current Affairs... I feel a little disturbed over the suicide of a Korean actress named Choi Jin Shil, who had been suffering from depression following a bitter divorce from an abusive husband some 6 yrs ago. I felt even more disturbed over the suicide pact of a 15-yr old girl named Mernel Koh and her 22-yr-old 'godfather' Eddy Afendi, a close friend of her older brother. Wait a minute!! 7 years difference only, and the gal calls Eddy her 'godfather'?? So strange indeed. Cause of death is due to glue sniffing (harmful to the brain), both of them jumped off nine storeys of a block in Bukit Batok. What do we learn from here? Stay away from drugs, and cherish your own lives as you cherish everyone around you. And never take your own life for granted either.

Hmmm speaking about going under the influence of drugs, I suspect that a certain someone may have been sniffing glue or taking sedatives, hence his deteriorating mentality and IQ in recent weeks (muahaha). I don't take drugs btw, and no matter how others try to tempt me, I will never smoke.

I'm still pondering on which movie to watch first... "Painted Skin", "Connected" or "House Bunny"?

Song dedication to that disgusting Hutt

This song goes to that stupid fatso who dare show up at the Levi's event at Takashimaya yesterday. It's the very theme song I used for Alvin DaHutt the Created Wrestler in both SVR (Smackdown vs Raw) 2007 and 2008. Oh, and this song goes out to Mr Kiam Pa too. Such ignorant bastards will never change for the better, and it's evident that they lack proper morales and proper upbringing from their parents. The fat one obviously never learned his lesson from the 'actress molestation accusate' case in NAC months ago, and the lanky one will never learn how to be discerning and humble. I just hope they get beaten to a bloody pulp one of these days.


Some Bodies Gonna Get It- Three 6 Mafia

[Intro]
Yeah, Three 6 Ma-fi-AH!
Say whaaaat? Three 6 Ma-fi-AH!

Beat 'em up, beat 'em up!
Break his neck, break his neck!

I never been bod, how could I be scared of a man

Never can you imagine the pain that I bring
If I say it I'm a do it, in the streets or this thang
It's a K I N G in here
Wildest man in the world and I have no fear
I'm da mean in da mean, da nightmare dream
Da root of all evil, weak fear me, yeah!

[Chorus][Hook x 2]

I'm a crazy mothafucka and I'm comin' through the do'
Quick to whoop you up and knock yo ass to the flo'
Think I'm playin' with cha but this fist gon' hit cha
Always in da hood numba one wig splitter
Neva try to step cause you know you can't compete
Live by your rap, or get throwed in the street
This boy 'bout to act up, you betta call for back up
I'll be the next fool in the hood, bodies stacked up

[Chorus][Hook x 2]

See I'm a hard hitter
One hitter quitter quitter
Step up to me lil' buddy
You steppin up to a gorilla
I bang yo' head dawg
'Til yo' head like egg naw
Don't think I'm scared dawg
I'll leave you in red dawg!

[Chorus][Hook x 2]

Levi's Unbuttoned event at NAC

Happy Birthday to Susila and Emily Goh

Because I have an assignment to do, I have to put this entry up really fast. Not to forget that I may not be logging on the Net tonight due to "Crime Busters X 2"...

Morning til 12 plus- slacked at home
1330 hrs- had quick lunch at PS
1400 hrs- reached Ngee Ann City
1500 to 1530 hrs- Jonathan's performance
1600 to 1615 hrs- fashion show involving 10 Caucasian models
1615 to 1645 hrs- Taufik's performance
1700 to 1745 hrs- tea break at Coffee House (3rd level of NAC)
1800 to 1900 hrs- long ride back home (first by MRT, then by bus)


This is what the Levi's store at the basement level of NAC looks like. In the 4th picture, there is a wall setion comprising of New Face 2008 finalists' profiles. I didn't really take a close shot on the articles, simply cos... most of them CANNOT MAKE IT. Oh, and Geraldine Chua (remember the Singapore Idol season 2 semi-finalist who said, "Shut up your mouth" at Downtown East?) happened to be one of them.


This deejay (quite hot, but a bit old) named Sue (if I remember corretly) 'saboed' me to go up on stage for some game, and I was 'crucified' along with Valerie and that disgusting Hutt Alvin. No lah, actually we have to put our feet together and stretch out our arms 90 degrees and hold on in this position while stacks of jeans are draped on our forearms.


Yes, you heard that right!! That Bloody Fat Bastard Alvin was present too!! I wonder if his parents are even aware of his retardness. Stay tuned for a song dedication coming up anytime soon...


Jonathan performing from 3 to 3.25 pm. Songs he sang were "Should I Stay", "Always Be My Baby" and er... forgot name of last song. For Song # 2 and 3, he did acoustic guitar with a friend named Dylan.


Fashion show... I thought the brown haired girl reminded me a little of Felicia. :-p She's the leggy babe in the 2nd last pic, 2nd from right in the 1st group of 5. It's true that I like girls with nice legs... make me wanna turn into... errrm, never mind! :-X


Taufik performing from 4.15 to 4.45 pm... with no Fiknatics in sight! They went for family visiting you see... remember, it was Hari Raya Puasa. I forgot name of the first song he sang... the other 2 songs were "Me and Mrs Jones" followed by "Make Your Body Move". After his last song, he had to rush off, but not before shaking hands with a few of us as we wished him Selamat Hari Raya.

Oh, and there's one more thing I have to digress yet again...

KL, I don't intend to start a debate with you whatsoever, but I feel I need to point out something in regards to what you said about MKP 'changing for the better' in recent weeks. If what you said is true, then what will you call someone who is still obsessed with his own reflection, still harboring lustful thoughts over his fave singer, still overwhelmingly boastful with his accomplishments, proceeds to create 80 freaking blog entries within 1 month, and then goes on to create 7 agonizing blog entries on the first day of this month??? Certainly you know that MKP is totally unapologetic in what he does, and he does not deserve our understanding by even the smallest integer. Moreover, I am already sick and itred of 'researching' on him since he will never atone for his sins. Do remember this quote well... a leopard never changes its spots.

My thoughts on the Levi's event, NS casualties and Mamma Mia

Happy Birthday to Jana and Geraldine Paige
Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslims :-)

I just got back from Ngee Ann City, and I must say that it was a blast! Not only was Jonathan performing, but Taufik Batisah as well. I wasn't too pleased, however by the fact that the ugly turd known as Alvin (yes!! That mentally challenged youngster) turned up and made a lot of noise as he always did. Seems like he never learnt his lesson from what he did at the Big Idea event when he nearly molested an actress... like the saying goes, "a leopard never changes it spots, and neither will a tiger change its stripes". Because I am going to watch "Crime Busters X 2" very soon, I will only be uploading pictures tomorrow morning.

Another case of misfortune has befallen in Singapore again... and I'm not referring to the recent passing of J.B.J. Just yesterday, a 20-year-old National Serviceman collapsed midway through chin-ups during IPPT, and was pronounced dead in hospital about 2 hours later. To make things worse, he was enlisted only 2 mths ago, and was only weeks to finishing BMT... and he was on 3 days of medical leave!!! This is the third military death to happen in Singapore so far, and the first death resulted from a non-strenous activity. But if I have to be honest, the IPPT segment that may result in death is the 2.4 km run, the very segment which I fear the most. I was never good at running fast...

Oh, and I went to watch "Mamma Mia! The Movie" at Bugis Junction on Monday night after knocking off from work. Ok, I admit I watched the film mostly cos I like ABBA songs, but also because I wanna find out for myself which cast members can sing. Meryl Streep had proven that she not only can take on any role, she can also sing really well, and she's definitely suitable for musical comedy. She shares amazing chemistry with Amanda Siegfied who plays her daughter Sophie about to get married to her boyfriend Sky. The 2 ladies who play Streep's friends are equally lovable and fun to watch... :-)

After watching the film, I conclude that only a few of the cast members are rather terok at singing... mainly the male leads Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellann Skarsgard. The former James Bond/Remington Steele may be good at charming the ladies with his oozing machismo and wits, but he certainly can't impress the ladies when it comes to singing. He looked rather constipated and strained when choking out the lyrics... a bit like Jerry Ong if you ask me (but many times better in terms of hunk factor). Despite his lack of singing ability, Sam Carmichael (Mr Brosnan's role) gets to win over the heart of Donna (Meryl Streep), and they eventually get hitched! It's up to you to find out what happens to Bill Anderson (Skarsgard) and Harry Bright (Firth)...

I rate this film 7.5 out of 10. The direction of the story may sound a little absurd (much like in the actual play), but it's certainly enjoyable and worth-watching. Look out for special cameos by ABBA composers Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. ;-)
