I started that blog in 2004... can you imagine? It had survived for almost 7 years... but due to several unfortunate circumstances, it had to go...<br /><br />I actually had deleted that blog a couple of times... but that was due mostly to stalker issues... this time, it was due to the people around me...<br /><br />It became an entity on its own, bigger presence than me... up to a point where people talk about it more than they talk about me... I mean, come on... it's just a blog... I am more than just words... but some people could not get past it and kept telling other people...<br /><br />So I had to put a stop to it... might as well, the blog had run its course and was way off topic after a few years... I am sad that I had to let it go coz it felt like part of me... it was an outlet for me to vent out but I guess I have to vent out in some other way... sigh...Evan Owenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04331453203884188856noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383104308366276571.post-39320753792905678512011-03-23T10:43:00.002+08:002011-03-23T13:38:27.962+08:00WriterAm officially starting to write for a web magazine that is kinda cult-ish and aimed for our people only... not sure how I feel about them wanting a byline/bio/pic on it... coz... do I want to be associated OPENLY with that?<br /><br />Hmmm... on one paw, I do like the idea of getting to write and contribute articles... but the sitch in Malaysia... is it really worth it?Evan Owenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04331453203884188856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383104308366276571.post-90735175884461861622010-08-30T21:51:00.002+08:002010-08-30T21:57:35.535+08:00The ListFound this while rummaging through the hard disk...

I keep asking and asking and he kept giving excuses... I might ask him to move out next month, if this persists... <br /><br />I also plan to kill that bitch ex-colleague of mine who still fails to pay even a single cent of my money back... she's living it up while I have to slum it... this bitch and the housemate is making my life miserable...

They talked about my sexuality and the fact that I am still manly even thought I love men. In front of my boss!!<br /><br />I had to not look him in the eye coz he was looking straight at me.
