a girlfriend might be worseOriginally posted by littlestream:i was thinking of that too leh, bear........... *high 5*
i tot if he has a girlfriend, maybe that will take his mind off gaming. well, hopefully something magical can/will happen when he starts uni this fall.
thanks, bear
anyway has his studies been badly affected?
he only starts uni this fall maybe will ave discipline to study even if he does still play? i know i gamed while studying and i didn't do that badly. -

yah man. but then i dare not say that mah. because really, relationship is a pain in the behind but then again, it can be beautiful.
well, not exactly. his grades are consistent and he is being accepted by unis. but thing is, he is home now eh. i mean when he stays in rez, i suspect it's going to get harder to focus or self discipline.
i guess i felt troubled today 'cos his time was way passed sleeping hours during school days. that, to me is a no-no. but i don't wanna be harsh.
so, yes, i guess i am troubled.
oh, i hate BLIZZARDS!!!!!
thanks ah, hisoka.......i hope so too. -

Find a girlfriend.Originally posted by littlestream:I can't believe I am actually posting in agony!!!!
But seriously, how do one get off the addiction???? Do you just get up one day and decide "okay, that's it, i'm done with it!"? Or do you get grounded for spending too many hours (per day) on it???? Or do you re-direct yourself to other activities?
Come one, come all.....got tips or no-fail recipe(s) to share?
Xie xie....thank you.....kum siah........terima kaseh....dou che......
Or get addicted to something else. -

didn't keep me from curtailing my playing during the school term or studying for the exams. don't read too much into what he does during the hols.
or you can have a chat with him and tell him your concerns.e should be old enough to listen? -
ah.....no prob........the credit is due.Originally posted by Keii:thanks for supporting me and such. will never let anyone down.

hee hee.......u sure? well, i hope so. hopefully, sparks fly when he stays in rez. -
wah, sounds like "getting a gf" gets the highest votes eh?Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:Find a girlfriend.

yah, i was thinking of redirecting his attention to physical activities like bowling, badminton and stuff. hmm...........
thanks, s'poremacross -
hmm......okay, noted that too, hisoka and thanks for your view tooOriginally posted by hisoka:you might jsut be worried too much. i play hard and long during hols.in cluding sleeping at 3 or 4 am.

yeap, he is like me. when i tell him stuff, he's like all listening and stuff. but in actual doing? it may be another matter. my mum in law says the same thing about me.
i honestly believes he knows what he has to do and all, but it is that evil game and his lack of self discipline that is worrysome. but i have faith. and i am grateful u telling me your experience. really. -

Yeah gaming is supposed to be a healthy activity. Have been wondering what makes gaming so addictive. Till i read an article somewhere that people turn to gaming to experience the kind of events that they know they could not possible go thru in real life. The success in the games kind of fill up the emptiness of that person and make that person fill better. Sounds good huh.Originally posted by littlestream:wah, serious man. that almost sounds like the guy i have at home!
erm, okay.....i wanna think carefully how i am gonna approach this. i treasure/value my relationship with this chap very much and i am not about to let gaming spoils it for us!
But addiction to gaming surely have crossed the line. Wonder if there is a panacea for this. More gaming perhaps.
