H4PW … InvincIIble

Last year on 20 December 2025, there was a pro-wrestling show called H4PW – the end of yea at the Grapplemax Studios at the Ubidome. Rumours say it’s not pronounce “Hetch four pee double you” but it might be called Hee Hee Haa Haa Pro Wrestling.

But worry not my friends, I am your intrepid journalist and found out more about H4PW! (Aka, I messaged the booker, SPD to ask how did they come up with it.)

It was also the first pro-wrestling show in Singapore that with my ticket I got a nice Halal certified snack pack of a sandwich, epok-epok and an apple turnover. There was some pandan teh too! Snacks and tea were sponsored by the relatives or wrestlers of the show.

H4PW isn’t a regular show, it was more a community fun thing which also included the Grapplemax Community awards then. It’s also a comedy wrestling show that reminded me of Mystery Wrestling and DDT antics.

SPD told me for the first H4PW’s theme was that “it was really to celebrate the end of the year (hence the event name) and to allow the performers to let loose and enjoy doing what they do best. Also to give audiences a chance to see another side of the wrestlers that they have never seen before”.

The opening match of the night pretty much showed people what to not expect. We had Rush Hour fighting against a Rose Ranger and a kawaii magical school girl who wasn’t a kawaii magical school girl?!

The plot was thickening and the audience had to play along to solve it. There was betrayals and reveals and really dubious sounding accents along with really good wrestling.

With the first match of the afternoon, (yes H4PW is on afternoons!!), I horked down my sandwich as I watched so I wouldn’t choke on it while laughing.

The next one had to do with a dinosaur fighting a very distinguished gentleman. At this rate, I think I was shrieking.

I had a lot of video clips but you know what.

I won’t post them because you need to experience the vibe of H4PW itself.

Then there was the main event which was The Happy Birthday Remus Battle Royale. No one in the studio can say Happy Birthday to Remus (he’s the videographer at the events AND a wrestler when he’s in his Wildfire mode) until the winner of the battle royale was ‘crowned’.

Yes, it was Remus’ actual birthday so no one could say it.

Looking at these pictures remind me, maybe I need to pack one of those travel packs of Nin Jom Pei Pa Kao.

We had Hurricane Helms versus John Cena.

There was Tommy Invicible with a very glorious drop in by Mr Bean.

There were so many different people in the battle royale but then… POWER WARRIOR CAME OUT.

The last time I saw Power Warrior in person was in 2017, which interestingly I did blog about him before here. OMG, he has upgraded in the year 2025.

Unfortunately, unlike 2017. Power Warrior did not win the rumble but Kelvin did! Finally we could say Happy Birthday to Remus.

With that said, I asked SPD, how did they all pull it off. There were elaborate costumes, some people wearing more than what they even usually wear in their actual normal characters and the tron intros were all thematic and really good.

SPD stated that “We managed to lock the dates slightly before Unity (Grapplemax’s anniversary show), but we only started planning, booking, and announcing after Unity. Everyone involved really help to make sure we had everything ready to go by show day. Mr and Mrs Ho reached out to us with the snacks, and Nish with the drinks so we are very grateful to them :)”

I really, really liked those snacks and the tea by the way.

Don’t count me in as a wrestler for this show because I really want to watch it as an audience. If you guys don’t know me, this is the style of wrestling I like to watch and since it’s in Singapore, EVEN BETTER.

It’s said that the next show would be on 28 March 2026. If you think wrestling is just so predictable, try watch a different style of it.

They will release their information on their instagram account so be on a look out for it here: https://www.instagram.com/h4pw1/

Let’s wait after Thursday

I’ll be seeing the doc for the follow up and to check my dressing and all.

And WOW.

You guys, you have no idea how much typing I gotta retype to do this while on Panaco. Which they gave me and I got to make sure that I’ve not a fever too.

Let’s wait next week’s post for more proper updates.

Also I did take pictures and videos because this is me and excuse me, of course I had to.

TLDR. It all started from a checkup and then they went HMMM.

And all I can say for now is better now than later.

Feel free to contribute to my throne here though: https://throne.com/sarahcoldheart/item/94385826-1234-4dc4-9187-151e03e14d0d

No need for fruit baskets or visits, you know I like weeb merchandise.

Also yesss, go for your checkups.

Wow, I took so long to make sure my words are wording.

We just need good results on Thursday that’s it.

Gongxi Raya 2026

There was a Gongxi-Lent-Puasa Light-Up at Telok Ayer on 10th February featuring the minister Zaqy Mohamad with Rev Master Lee Zhiwang, President of Taoist Mission Singapore, Haji Arif Sulaiman, Chairman of Al Abrar Mosque, Rev Edmund Koh, Pastor in Charge of Telok Ayer Chinese Methodist Church and Ambassador Ong Keng Yong, Chairman of Humanity Matters.

Yes, I copy pasted that all because they really, it’s a Singapore thing to just have everyone in it.

In any case, I went to Kampong Glam and they had their light up too but I didn’t go there for that.

I was wanting to check out what kind of food was in trend at the pasar malam this year and interestingly, the curation of food was not as wild as the previous few years which is good.

I did go “Huh, what’s a pastacos” and no, it’s not a pasta in tacos or tacos in pasta, it’s just a stall selling both.

On the other side of the street there was also ‘cheese wheel pastas’.

We had sweet stuff like tapak kuda, a traditional Malay kueh/cake thing and there’s Indian pani puri!! Pani puri has been a thing in pasar malams now and yes, (in general) Malay people in Singapore like the taste cause it’s got all the flavours mixed up and the textures are great and crunchy too.

When it’s going to be Ramadan, the sugarcane stall is going to be so popular. I like to have it with lemon by the way. And you can totally see the typical fare of Ramly burgers (which aren’t really Ramly patties cause that’s illegal in Singapore) with the lekor snacks and whatnot.

There’s a new shop called RÖSTii that just opened in time before Ramadan and right on that same street so you know it’ll be packed when it’s time to break fast at sunset.

So what’s my verdict? It was a good curation, whatever ‘trendy’ food is spaced away from each other. Like, there’s one Chinese Muslim fried pancake (roti) stall at one end of a street and the other nearer to the entrance of the mosque. Two different brands, same type of food but of course their recipes are different.

Two different taco types. The usual birria tacos are there (I do like those) and then drink stalls all around. That one, it’s of course more than two because people really need hydration but it’s different flavours.

The only sad thing as you walk around, it’s the first year with Warung Pariaman closed at the end of the area where the pasar malam is. It’s kinda weird with it closed up like that.

In any case, there’s also some clothing stalls ‘inside’ and some seating areas with a stage underneath the tentage.

What’s also interesting is that most of the bazaars are opening before Ramadan starts and you DO see all the influencers and video people quickly taking videos of the food to advertise before Ramadan starts next week.

If you for some reason see me around, I’m just trying to jump out of your shot so I won’t be in your background.

Also no, I haven’t been to Geylang to check out the bazaar is there like but for me, the one at Kampong Glam is sufficient for the vibes or takeaway to bring home.

Phoning it in

It’s 9.36pm on a Sunday and I’m typing this on a phone. I’m too tired to switch my laptop on and to type or edit any photos because I just finished the Grapplemax Open House during the weekend.

On Saturday, I helped with the camerawork and in between just helped usher people to the various stations in the beginning part of the afternoon.

On Sunday, was the women’s exclusive so I helped do the stations, or rather in ring techniques with participants and then after we had a match featuring Radiant Rui with Alani vs Divya with me.

Also I saw some of you guys on various days wearing the exclusive Ships Ahoy 2025 anniversary t-shirt so, I see you.

In any case, for both days the audience/participants enjoyed themselves so that is great. Personally, watching day 1’s matches since I’m not in it, it was exciting.

I see why it can be mad.

How is it possible we have people able to throw themselves, toss each other or fly from the ropes to just entertain you all in Singapore?

Pro wrestling is your live theatre with physical action and wow. I was entertained and more importantly, it showed that you too can actually learn pro wrestling too.

All these people are just ‘regular’ people who wanted to learn and they did.

And now I’m going to sleep and this will be posted on Monday morning. When I’m finally and hopefully awake but busy with my actual regular work.

Ps. If you want to try pro wrestling in Singapore, go to Grapplemax.sg and try out a trial for yourself.

Goyang-goyang into February

Wow, it’s actually February 2026. But what a packed January it was and still is? Maybe cause Chinese New Year and Ramadan is coming.

Before that though, it’s Thaipusam and that happened on Sunday, 1 February 2026.

Interestingly, it was also the same weekend as Renfaire SG so Dhoby Ghaut had the processions at the closed roads on one side and you had elves and rangers walking from Dhoby Ghaut MRT towards Fort Canning.

To those who asked, no I didn’t get to go to Renfaire SG since I was occupied with work and other appointments.

However the weather was really sunny for the weekend, so good for everyone outdoors? I mean, hydration is a thing but at least everyone could walk around to their destinations.

Also happy WWE Royal Rumble day (Riyadh) for those who celebrate the floor is lava day. Yes, every thing on that weekend. No opinions from me about it here because this isn’t a WWE blog and there’s a lot of reviews out there.

That night was lovely and full of drums and music to cheer on the Kavadi bearers. It happened to be on a Sunday so it was pretty grand. Did you know, unfortunately, Thaipusam isn’t a public holiday for us in Singapore? As of yet in 2026. I don’t know about it in the future when you read this but yeah.

Interestingly, I was in Dhoby Ghaut area in the evening after my pro wrestling training in the morning/afternoon to catch 1 night of Goyang Koplo. Unfortunately organizers said that Tenxii & Naykilla was unable to make it a week or so before the night.

Instead it was replaced with Baby Shima so it was a trio of ladies entertaining us for the evening at SOTA with Hafeez Glamour as emcee.

The setting was at SOTA hall so you had to be seated and so it was kinda weird when you have such genre of dangdut koplo.

Ochi Alvara and Dara Ayu had their own solo songs first then it was Baby Shima and then a duet of Ochi and Ayu. However ALL THREE WERE SUCH GOOD ENTERTAINERS.

Baby Shima and pretty much all the ladies had such lovely bling bling outfits.

They did so well entertaining the crowd. I wanna say, the organizers should really try for a venue without seats next time if for this genre of songs. Or at least, maybe got space to goyang-goyang in front of stage?

Thank you ladies for entertaining us.

Ok, this is not their song but I wanted you guys to understand the genre of dangdut koplo with my affection of vtubers and anime.

AND WHAT BEST IS TO SHOW YOU JAPANESE VTUBER INDONESIAN DANGDUT?

Goyang-goyang is a dance move that you’ll do when you listen to this sorta music.

As we like (royal me) to describe it, it’s like a gentle twerk. So gentle, so classy.

Anyway, see you next week guys. For some of you, literally since I have that 8 February open house event at GrappleMax.

It’s closing and I don’t know

Dear future!Sarah,

Warung Nasi Pariaman is closing on 31 January 2026 and I don’t know why. Maybe you’ll know why in the future when you look back on this. Or if someone commented why.

Because no one knows.

The actual Berita news even reported it on TV last night with the shortest report on it with just the shot of the shop and “Warung Nasi Pariaman is closing on 31 January” in Malay, of course.

And everyone is gossiping.

The First SG Camera Convention in Singapore

This is the first SG Camera Convention held at Capitol Piazza that I knew of. Or the first one ever that was held here in Singapore to my knowledge.

I happened upon it when it showed up in my Instagram feed and it was indeed in my interest.

View this post on Instagram

It showed up a few days before the convention so I was lucky to see it.

Ironically, I didn’t see much publicity about it too…

In any case, this was a pretty fun small convention but full of people who were interested in cameras, lens and accessories.

Convention hall of sg camera con filled with people

It said what it said.

There were official brands there.

people interviewing at the aputure booth

And there were shops that I tended to buy from too and some demos.

I went to the vertical talk since I had activities for the other days and that was an interest of mine.

This talk was by Gavin Lim of Black Tactical Unit and he was going to run a workshop about micro dramas (details not out yet at the time of this post but I guess just go check their instagram page)

And yes, I’m very interested in vertical reels but commercially in Singapore, it’s not trashy enough.

Everyone is too standard and using more traditional to 16:9 plotlines which is nice but you got to know.

People who watch vertical videos want unrealistic trashy plotlines and the ones here so far are just ‘decent’ or restrtictive. That’s my personal opinion anyway.

The vendors had cheaper prices than usual and I got to check some lights I had been interested in to see how it was in real life.

So ok, that’s fun.

Maybe they’ll have another one next year and hopefully with more publicity??

It was actually busy too so somehow it really did spread to a lot of photographers and people who use videocameras. Not the typical hobbyists which gave a different kind of vibe and.

Ok, WHO ACTUALLY ORGANIZED THIS? I still don’t know. It really was a happenschance that I managed to attend it. The curation of the booths were nice, I actually laughed when I saw Cathay Photo there because I was told if you bought stuff there (they had special prices for the convention for some items), you could just pick it up at their main store next street over.

Really, a lot of booths had some shops nearby cause if you don’t know the Peninsula Plaza area and the surrounding place, it is the place for camera and accessories so hence it was nice to see the official brands making an appearance at this convention.

I liked it. Perhaps maybe there will be more talks or demos by the brands themselves too besides at their booths?

Anyway, in the land of a lot of high res cameras and photographers and videographers, I decided to take everything down to low res and make a highlight using my Kodak Charmera so there you go.

It was 2016 and then 2026

There’s a 2016 meme happening now in 2026 where you look back in pictures 10 years ago on instagram.

I looked back into the my Facebook album since I remembered if I posted any pictures then, it would be there carefully saved in its own year’s album.

And then I realized that was the year I went to Japan for the first time with my friends.

Embrace a Ragey New Year: A Realistic Perspective

Ragey New Year everyone! By the way, all pictures here are taken with my Charmera for that 90s feel.

point of view from a double decker bus going through little india

Apparently people have work have noticed me being angry and it’s the start of the year. But, why not? When every year I have observed and put in my own data (I actually put in a google sheets) of happenings (not weeks, it’s months and years) and noticed that if people won’t change themselves.

The only thing I can change is myself isn’t it?

So no. I’m not going to wish a happy new year. It’s not a fits-all greeting. I’m wishing you all a ragey new year to those who get it and need it too.

I tend to not talk behind people’s backs, I talk in front of themselves. Because why talk behind people’s backs when you can talk in front of them so they can take note and then improve themselves, hmm?

And because they do not, then it’s RAGEY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

I mean, what’s the point of wishing happy new year when you know it is going to suck or that the people who actually think to wish it happy new year do nothing to make it happy.

The rest of the year just ends up more depressing.

Shut it with toxic positivity and gas lighting.

I wish you a ragey new year. Perhaps you’ll start it really angry and then it actually ends happy.

What’s ironic is even when I’m really seemingly angry to them all, they still approach me because they know things still get done. Which is ridiculous really since I tend to have to fix other people’s shortcomings so excuse me, why shouldn’t I be angry? It’s a right.

Thus, let’s start off things differently compared to other years.

As I walked around Orchard road for some errands too, I just wondered if this point is where the Orchard Road Fashion account usually takes videos or photos from.

That’s just me being curious and nothing to do with being angry, or IS IT.

Nonetheless, there was a cute crow who flew down and landed at the crossing bollards and I managed to take some close ups.

What would you guys do. Will you continue the year with a fake happy start even if you know it isn’t going to be happy?

Lunar New Year is going to be next month so you can have a Take 2 of a new year too.

Technically you can take any time, any month, any day to reset.

Your own life is your own.

Just the start of the year is when everyone else as a majority would like to “restart” but you can have a head start on restarting any time once you know where you would like to go or do.

How can you influence those around you when they will not change for the better no matter how many notices or warnings they get?

Perhaps the only solution is to change yourself to go around them and shock them into action. And if they still won’t, at least you’ve tried it and you can put it in findings (I’m kinda data driven on my own in qualitative findings, not quantitative) and do an alternative way.

Of course, you have to first identify are you the problem? And if not, what other things to mitigate it?

With that, I leave you with a fun fact.

The payphones in Singapore by Singtel are free for you to call locally for up to 3 minutes if you can find them.

Also why is it free?

You can’t officially buy Singtel phonecards for payphones any more. Any available cards are just collector’s items. And my guess is that it’s difficult to tear up all the existing phone lines and phones that are built along the road or HDBs for decades.

It’s better to keep it there and be used for emergencies, isn’t it?

That’s one way of finding solutions and adapting to the times.

Ragey New Year everyone, feel free to comment the same to me.
