To Japan again.

Hi guys! I will be going to Osaka again in Feb and hope that maybe some of you guys in Singapore would join me. So start saving up! I spent $700 on plane ticket and around $120 a day for accomodation.

 

I hope you fellas good luck and bring back some pics. I got a baby to cradle /versus/images/icons/wink.gif

 

Hm.....

Want to go but think my school term starts liao. And my girlfriend might not let me go. /versus/images/icons/frown.gif Your girlfriend going? Maybe I can also bring mine. Then they can entertain each other, we can play ours while they shop theirs.
So plus all the playing Evo, sight-seeing, air ticket, accomodation and eating, how much you actually spent for the whole trip?

 

Don't think ur gf will even let u step ur foot outta Singapore. Besides, the two of you are as good as one married couple. /versus/images/icons/laugh.gif

For me, if I really want to go, it will be around next yr dec. Now, tight budget. Lucky no gf. Otherwise, I live on credit, not cash.

 

Hm.....

Ya lor. I was talking to her just now and she really got angry. What the FUCK? I cant even do something I want. Life is so boring when it is restricted!

 

Just seek her understanding. Tell her you are going there to enjoy a lifelong goal. A passion. Tell her she is going too. Tell her it isn't fun without her /versus/images/icons/cool.gif "What is a VF victory w/o your by my side" Hehehe. Let her be part of your VF life.

 

hummm....the seek her understanding part need to put in alot of effort. Not just 1 or 2 "hua yan qiao yu" n everything is ok liao. It also depends on the lady concept n mind set. That is my 2 cents worth. /versus/images/icons/frown.gif

 

I spent about $2000. I didn't pay for my girlfriend. anyway Zhifeng, do what i did, i dump her and patch back and now she is even trying to learn to play Akira.

 

HAHAHAHAA dude I hope Joyce doesn't browse this website, shyat.


Zhifeng, if your girlfriend got pissed at you just at the mention of Japan, and you're cowering because of it, what kind of a relationship do you have??

It's all in the way you present the idea. Explain how there are certain things one must do. It could be something serious, like climbing Mt. Everest, or it could be something semi-ridiculous, like going to Japan to play a videogame. But the key is to make her understand that this is important to you, and that you plan to go anyway, but that you'd like to have her blessing. If you don't go, explain how this is going to be something that will gnaw at you for the rest of your life. It's not going to be life changing (don't dramatize, she'll laugh), but it's like that itch that won't go away.

Actually, even if VF is a big theme for a Japan trip, it can still be successful from a couple point of view. Adam and Elise (his girlfriend) went together and they had a hell of a time. Danny took Joyce and now Joyce is a little interested in VF. All they have to do is see how crazy VF is in Japan to understand the appeal.

 

To elaborate a bit more, the first day I was there, we went straight to the arcade after breakfast. We went to purchase my vf card and I started challenging the 10dans and above, I lost more than I won so i had a 45% winning chance on my card.

She told that she never knew there are so many people playing vf in Japan and their standards in terms of skill and technique is much higher than the Singaporeans. She said she could feel the tension everytime I manage to beat a 10dan or higher with 80%winning chance and above, even though I couldn't beat them consistantly, she said she felt very happy everytime I win like as if Singaporeans are beating the Japanese.

When I rose to 1dan, I started getting people with same dans challanging me, and started getting ranking matches frequently. Everytime I rose in rank, she would cheer. We never thought i could rise to the rank of tsuwamono but when i did, both of us really jumped in Joy!

Both of us agree that Singapore really needs the card sys to be able to appeal to the locals. Its the items, new colours, winning percentage, your name and your rank that makes the whole game so exciting, but of cos, you have to access the vfnet through your handphone if Singapore were to have the card sys. I wonder how that can ever happen. Maybe a few years more down the road.

SO Zhifeng, at the end of the day, take my advice, DUMP her! lol give her a mule kick in her face!

 

Oy! Don't dump here dump there lah! Women are not commodity. Maybe also understand why she freaked out over the idea of a trip to Japan. It it is all out control she is after, tell her it will never work. I got a gf not to change a gf and when I married her, I ddn't even try to change the woman. She did the same to me. See like that I am so much happier and I believe it will be so for you too if she understands this fact in relationships. Uh like VF, I waited for Sarah to change /versus/images/icons/smirk.gif

Iron the relationship first if there is still some creases before you go. Trips either make or break a couple. A budget trip puts even more strain on that.

 

Hm.....

Thankz for all the advice. But whatever said, my grilfriend just tell me the 3 golden words "I DON'T CARE". So what can I say to someone so not understanding 1. Besides, she said "YOU WON'T DIE EVEN IF YOU DON'T GO". What can I say again?
Getting angry is useless.
Dump her (alot of times in the past liao, so don't think itz adviceable to do so again)

Plus : Danny
Thakz for your mule kick advice, later her breasts go out of shape how? /versus/images/icons/grin.gif

 

Any relationship thats unusually prejudiced towards one party is normally unhealthy.

What to do, rite? Your gf has already told you that you won't die, if u don't go. Sigh.... she really knows what she is saying. Tell her that if u don't go, u might not find a successor to ur drunken fist skills. More serious, rite? /versus/images/icons/smile.gif Next time, no more drunken fist.

Like what great Romeos and Juliets used to say, "Love is not about possession."

A relationship is about accepting, compromising, and coming to consensus. If there is no consensus, there is no relationship. /versus/images/icons/tongue.gif Then, what do u call that thing without consensus?

Awww.... I don't know. I think pple call it "one way traffic". /versus/images/icons/laugh.gif "Make way for my tank!" lol

The possibility of me going to Japan is declining even further cos' there r somethings which I need to do 1st. Not bgr. hehe. Aspirations come 1st. As long as parents don't ask when I getting gf, "no news is good news." /versus/images/icons/tongue.gif

 

Hm.....

"Love is not about possession"
I like that.

Enough about me, we should focus more on VF right?

 

Come to think of it. Are the guys still playing evo? Seems like no one really goes to Yishun these days.

All facing bgr problems? lol. "lemme at em!"

 

Well if you don't mind playing with a newbie-like player in the early afternoons I'll be there from 1-3 tomorrow /versus/images/icons/tongue.gif In fact, I'll probably be there the whole of next week too /versus/images/icons/wink.gif .

 

I only appear in the evenings. Nobody playing. I will disappear.

 

Hm.....

Have we met? I have been going for the past week. I am the one who use shundi. Probably I will go more cos my exam finished on the 5th.

 

I'm going back for reservist again. 1st week of nov.

don't think i play often. so few pple. got pple watch, but no one play.

 

want to go but super poor maybe go there no money to eat,etc. Private only where got $$$$$$ /versus/images/icons/frown.gif
