In a few more days, 2008 will be history.

Meshio.com will be 7 years old in 2009. To wrap up the year, I’ve selected one article for each month of 2008.

In January, I started writing on how much insurance should one buy. One article leads to another, and before the year ends, I found myself completing the first edition for ‘Guide to Smart Insurance Planning’. My publisher just told me this morning that the second typesetting is complete. It’s going to take at least another 2 weeks before you will see it in the bookstores.

In February, few years after I stopped subscribing to The Star’s deadwood edition, I completely stopped my RSS subscription to The Stars Online. I am still unsubscribed to this day.

In March, I wrote about Hell Bank Notes and the story that could have started the ‘burning’ tradition.

In April, I gave up with the empty promises given by my previous hosting company Exabytes and moved on to a new hosting partner. I’m glad I switched.

In May, I started a Poster Design Series, featuring creative illustrations from Malaysia’s Ah Longs (loan sharks). If you’ve snapped a few good ones, do give me a tinker!

In June, I wrote a guide on how to withdraw money from PayPal using an al-Rajhi Debit ATM card. It’s still being contributed by other readers with new information in the comment section.

In July, I shared my thoughts on why I think it’s important to get the nitty-gritty details ironed out before venturing out on a partnership. I still stand firm on the issues I pointed out in the article.

In August, I exposed cash rich individuals who cunningly camouflages their wealth by literally riding around town in motorbikes.

In September, I posted a few interesting articles, but the winner had to go to the article about my complaint to Maxis. Not only is the matter not settled yet, but also partly because the article resonated with many other ex-Maxis wireless broadband users in Malaysia.

In October, I started my first virtual bookstore. Approximately 550 downloads so far.

In November, Meshio.com readers helped contribute to my section on ‘How to Earn More’.

In December (this month), I wrote about Ah Chong and Muthu and their entrepreneurial spirit. In the article, I attempted to illustrate the difference between a liquidity crisis and a solvency crisis.

Well, that’s about it – the 12 selected 2008 articles on Meshio.com! I hope you’ve enjoyed 2008 and it’s alright if you don’t, since it’s less than 72 hours to 2009.
