Power Plug Wiring Woes

[Zensouken]

HALP!!! I'm trying to get this arcade cab of mine powered up so I can relax at night but I've hit a wall with wiring up these components.  I have a power strip (surge protector) with the plug cut off, a receptacle to receive that plug and connect to an external plug towards the wall outlet, and lastly I want to get an illuminated rocker switch in the middle of the the receptacle and the power strip so I can turn the cab on/off without having to open it. 

I'm working off of NA wiring standards with these components (BLACK = LIVE, WHITE = NEUTRAL, GREEN = GROUND) with the external plug having E(GROUND), L(LIVE), and N(NEUTRAL). I'm basing everything off of the external plug since that's where the main power is being drawn from.  I will also be referring to GROUND as being on the bottom since it just sounds right. 

So with the receptacle LIVE is on the left, GROUND on the bottom, and NEUTRAL on the right; how do I wire these to the rocker switch and then subsequently to the power strip.  Honestly the rocker switch diagram is confusing the hell out of me.  Also I made the rookie mistake of just matching colors and linking everything which ended up tripping the breaker.

This resulted in my asian wife yelling, a lot; which then resulted in my half-asian daughter yelling in tandem.  Help me get this sucker powered up, men.

I started to read some literature on the way to class today and figured out that the SPST switch is much like an ordinary light switch and it's basically an interrupter for ONE power line only.  Granted I've assessed this information correctly I drew up two wiring diagrams, the top one being how the receptacle would be wired to the the power strip in absence of the rocker switch, and on the bottom what I'm guessing is the correct connection setup with the rocker switch.

I have the LIVE wire going to the L prong on the rocker switch and leaving the LOAD prong then heading to the power strip; and then the GROUND wire doing the same on the N prong as I'm assuming that the rocker switch needs GROUND to illuminate, and the NEUTRAL going directly from the receptacle to the power strip.

How's this look?

Edit: read the thread below mine. Better advice.

Swap your neutral with the ground on the switch.
Hot wire from supply plug goes to switch #2.
Neutral from supply plug goes to #4 on switch.
Ground from supply plug goes to ground on the load cable (out)

Hot wire from load cable goes to #1 on the switch
Neutral wire from load cable goes to # 4 on switch (with the neutral from the supply plug)

You got most of it right, and it would work if you have a grounded outlet that it is being fed from, but it is not correct and could be unsafe.
The ground wire should not be a current carrying conductor.
So just switch the ground and neutrals in your drawing and you will be ok.
(Ground doesn't connect to this switch, the switch housing is plastic and it doesn't need it.)
If you are attaching the switch or the plug to a metal plate or box, then the ground wire does need to connect to the metal plate or box.

Im assuming you have a 120 VAC system. This may not apply for a 220 volt euro system).

Everything DaOld Man said is absolutely spot-on correct, saved ---my bottom--- and got me powered up! Thanks for your input as well, yotsuya! Asian wife and daughter are happy and the house is still standing.
