Cheng En was then introduced to TOUCH Cyber Wellness
where he was connected with a youth mentor who helped him understand the importance of
drawing a balance between the virtual and real world.
With the help of a counsellor, Cheng En also gained a deeper insight into his own
motivations and gaming habits. The PlanetCRuSH experience at the PlanetCRuSH Cyber Wellness
Centre at Bukit Merah also provided a healthy gaming environment for Cheng En.
There, he befriended other youths who engaged in a variety of activities such as basketball,
movie, outings and study sessions - other than gaming. It was then that he realised the futility
of spending all his free time gaming.
The changes were visible. Soon, his school work began to improve as he became more responsible.
He would finish his homework first before playing computer games. Cheng En was also able to enjoy a
closer relationship with his mother. He would inform her about his whereabouts each time he was out late.
