Dear fellow Contest Junkies,
I have bad news. The curtains will be coming down for the Contest Junkie blog.
The end has come for this blog because there are new developments at work. I have always been quite private but I'll let you in on this one. I am an entrepreneur and strive to build a clothing empire and with the new directions at work (blame it on the economy), I am going to get a lot busier then I already am now. Unfortunately, I won't have time to maintain this blog until things ease up.
I want to tell all of you that starting this blog had been such an amazing experience for me. I learnt a tremendous lot about web marketing, I enjoyed being in the company of so many fellow contest junkies here and I will miss the conversations with all of you. I'm sorry I have to go. It has been a lot of fun for me (and I hope for you) while this blog lasted.
And I want to thank you readers for many things.
1. Thank you for sharing contest leads with me and the rest of the readers. You folks are a generous bunch you know.
2. Thank you for displaying kindness and showing appreciation to what I have done.
3. Thank you for sending me countless thank yous when you folks win. It's a real great feeling to receive thanks and to know that I am adding colour and joy not only to my own life but yours too.
4. Thank you for making this corner of the big bad internet a really happy place that is often filled with joys of winning and hope.
5. Thank you for giving me a chance to earn good karma. I gave away vouchers whenever I have some that I don't need but I observed that after I do that I think I ended up winning even more prizes after that, prizes of much bigger value ;) I'll just be vague here before you folks kill me with envy ;p hahah But dun worry la, it's nothing as big as Luckily's $5000 shopping voucher.

6. Thank you for your kind words at difficult times like when Titan died and your encouraging words when I reach different milestones like my 300th and 500th posts. Unfortunately, the 888's posts party will not be happening.
7. Thank you for bestowing me the honour of being an inspiration to some of you and the reason of your addiction to contests.
8. Thank you for the good times.

Ooooo... I find your blog interesting and don't think there are many blogs alike. Do hope you will still blog on contests once awhile. However, IF you have decided to leave your blog, I wish you all the best then... GOOD LUCK!
Wah Low !!! I always enjoy joining the contests even though I have won nothing yet. Please leh spare some time updating the blog only. Your blog is the only blog I visited every day !!! Why not make some advertising dollars out of it since it's so popular ?

Hi CJ ,
all the best to your business..but like the rest said dont shut down.
No contest is okay as least we still can talk once a while yah..
will miss you as you have become one of my friends .
Ever since I've chanced upon your blog, it's become a bookmark I insist on visiting almost everyday with all the updates and looking at what joy you brought to others with their wins. I have also won several since, with the best one coming from lonely planet's contest. Thanks aplenty for making it happen!
I will start to miss your blog, really! This is a common ground for all junkies alike, and we'll miss this place.
You may be real tied up during this busy peak period of yours, so you may treat it like a hibernation period for this blog. Once your business is up and steady, do continue to maintain this blog during your free time.
However if you really insist on leaving this blog, then my best wishes and all the best for whatever endeavour that comes. Keep in touch if possible! (:

haha.. i copy the opinions of bluedolphin above.
bluedolphin, where's contestjunkie's blog link in Straits Times? Can post it here?
不走
挺著胸勇敢的面对呼唏的风
伤心总是带不走痛有时候我觉得自己很没用
沉默完完全全把你放在心中
有太多的话想对你说面对你都说不出口
眼睁睁的看著你离开我我明白你有你的理由
你回头笑笑的看我我心中痛痛的挥手
眼泪在心里流
baby don't go don't go
how can i wake up tomorrow
i feel so sad i can't trust love anymore
baby don't go don't go
our love will be hard to follow
it breaks my heart
if you don't love me no more
我站在这里双手空空大雨下的不知所措
告诉我你在玩我你躲在远处笑我
让我再为你坚持不走
Plse don't go!!!
Can anyone take over here from CJ??
hello CJ, i'm a semi contest junkie, yours is the only blog i visit (once in a while even if i can't join the contests) still i felt sad when i read your farewell post, you have given a lot of people some happiness in these troubled times. i wish you the best and hope to have you back soon.
P.S. maybe you can get a collaborator to continue your blog for now? i know it is also hard for you to let go eh?
NOTINSINGAPORE
ur cat is so cute!
Well all the best for ur business but I hav to say I was pretty shocked to see ur farewell msg *sob sob *drama drama.
Altho I'm not a hardcore contest junkie but readin ur blog is kinda a daily ritual for me. Will definitely be missing ur absence.
hey, your company needs people or not? hehe...
