毕业了







红苹果的毕业典礼,除了家人,朋友们都跑来献上祝福。那种欢乐的气氛不需要说太多,看照片吧;-)















UPM 毕业事件




今天中午去参加朋友的毕业典礼,拍了一些照片。
毕业典礼少不了的花和公仔等礼物。大家兴致勃勃买礼物收礼物然后合照一张,家人的,朋友的,恋人的。一生人一次咧,梦想都升空了。

最后一通电话

这是又一宗劫杀案,发生在我居住的地方附近,受害者是一个人走路回家遇害的。好年轻的男生,好残酷的匪徒,新闻报道说受害者咽下最后一口气之前打了一通电话给母亲。我不敢想象母亲接到孩子的电话述说最后的话语时会是怎么样子的悲伤,从此有一个家庭的幸福缺堤,有一班朋友的联盟破裂,有一个国家的生力军少了一个潜能。而对罪案率来说,不过是一个数据,+1 和 +100 转换成百分比显得多么微不足道。

这样的罪案发生在我居住的地方范围,受害者卧尸的地方正是我曾经过的道路,报纸的文字登时变成了记忆里头的影像,模拟了事情的经过。最后一通电话的哭诉,到底谁听见了?


以后我一个人夜里走路回家时该怎样警惕那些冷血的匪徒?我可不可以绑一颗炸弹在身上,遇到任何凶悍的匪徒的时候自爆,以一换一,或者二,甚至是三,四。也还划算。

Recreational Vehicle Insurance Tips and Information

By Dean Cecere

If this is your first time in search of RV insurance, you will soon realise it can be considerably more costly than your average automobile insurance policy. One reason for this is that your motorhome is much more valuable and much riskier in terms of levels of responibility and the occurrance of unfortunate incidences. Nevertheless, you cannot afford to not carry out a policy in regards to insurance for recreational vehicles. Furthermore, you are a proud owner and chances are, you have put in many years of hard work and commitments to finally earn yourself the ability to experience and enjoy the freedom of recreational travel and what it has to offer. It is more or less the second largest investment you will make in your lifetime next to your home, and recreational vehicle insurance is essential in making sure that investment is well protected.

In regards to RV insurance and its cost, try to keep in mind that the contents you travel with predominantly greatly exceeds the contents of your typical car commuter, besides the value of the vehicle itself. You can consider recreational vehicle insurance to be somewhat of a combination between auto and home insurance, as it embodies many similarities. Nonetheless, you have reached a point in your life to reap the rewards of all your hard work, and it is time to enjoy yourself, and recreational insurance will offer you peace of mind so you can travel without the worries. Insurance for recreational vehicles, depending on the program you choose, will have you covered from all angles. There are a few things you should include in your policy.

RV Insurance Policy Oftentimes Includes ;

- Cost of replacement depending on year;
- Unlimited towing an roadside assistance;
- Full-timer rates;
- Campsite liability;
- Protection for personal contents;
- Disappearing deductible coverage rewards;
- Collision and comprehensive, flood, fire, theft and more;
- Awning repair and protection for permanently attached accessories;
- Payment for emergency expenses:

There are certainly other things to consider, and all of the above should be understood much more elaborately, and more detailed information is available from RV insurance specialists readily available on the world wide web. Recreational vehicle insurance is a specialised type of plan, and could apply to you whether you are the owner of a motorhome, fifth-wheel or even a travel trailer, so why not get a rate quote concerning your insurance for recreational vehicles, they are usually free of charge, and easy to find on the net.

Auto Insurance 101 Explained

By Joseph Kenny

Auto insurance can be confusing for most consumers; there are so many different types of insurance and it can be difficult to determine the type of coverage you’re required to carry versus the types of coverage that you really should carry in order to protect yourself but that are not required.

When considering how much car insurance you should have, it is best to do some research and find out what type of insurance is required by the state in which you reside. Not all states require the same levels of insurance. Some states require more types of coverage than others and states also vary in terms of the amount of coverage that is required. So, be sure you know exactly what the minimums are in the state where you live.

You should also understand what is covered by the different types of insurance in order to understand whether you need insurance coverage above and beyond the minimum required by your state of residence.

Bodily injury liability covers injuries that you cause to someone else while driving your vehicle. Generally the rule of thumb for this type of coverage is to purchase more than is required by your state minimums in order to protect your private assets from a law suit in the event that you injure someone.

Medical payments or personal injury protection, commonly known as PIP covers the treatment of injuries for the driver and the passengers of the vehicle. Depending on the level of coverage, this type of policy will compensate lost wages as well as medical payments.

Collision covers any damage that occurs to your vehicle in the event of an accident, even if it is your fault. Of course, a deductible will apply. Your lender will generally require this type of coverage while you still owe on the vehicle.

Comprehensive coverage is for the loss of your vehicle due to damage by something other than a collision such as theft, fire, natural disaster, vandalism, etc. Again, your lender will probably require this coverage for a financed vehicle. Once your loan is paid off, it’s up to you whether you want to continue carrying comprehensive and collision coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage can come in handy in the event that you are either involved in a hit and run or if you are hit by someone who does not have insurance or who is underinsured.

When considering how much insurance to take out, start with the amount that is required at a minimum by your state and then consider whether you’re required to take out any additional coverage due to lender requirements. Remember that while we all hope we won’t have a need for insurance, in the event that we do, it can be a financial lifesaver.

Finally, don’t forget to consider your options regarding deductibles. Raising your deductible can help you lower your premiums and that can make taking out additional insurance coverage more affordable. Just be sure you can reasonably afford the deductible in the event you need to use it.

给S的第一封信

早上九点钟,我坐在办公室的位子上对着电脑,戴上了钟爱的深海耳塞耳机,光碟机里头是昨天才买下的《久石让音乐集》,你知道久石让吗?他是日本的配乐大师,动画的,电影的(尤其是北野武的电影,几乎都是他负责配乐的),很简单的旋律,很隽永的感觉。听着听着时会陷入一种画面式的触动,虽然配乐的大多数电影我都没看过,除了《菊次郎的夏天》和《HANA-BI》。对了,说起北野武,他有一部电影《座头市》结尾处的踢踏舞和音乐都非常好听,会让心情沸腾跳跃在欢喜边缘的那种力量。所以我今天的工作就会以这样子的情绪开始,你也是,要如此开始新的一天噢。
感觉上有好一阵子没看见你在MSN登陆了,我不敢确定,因为自己近来也不常登陆MSN。也许很多个日子里我们就这样错过了彼此,问候搁浅,和你的距离登时放大回现实中的地理相隔,毕竟你在海洋另一端的城市,我们之前的网路通讯真实得把距离变成记忆中的盲点,而网路消失以后,我本来就看不见的远方更加模糊了。让我闭上眼睛想象着此刻的你在一座繁忙城市的街道上疾走,经过一座大厦的落地玻璃,不经意的眼角瞥到了玻璃上的天空倒影,浮云蓝天,你抬起头来,不觉放慢了脚步。遥望的眼珠子里头闪过一丝亮光,你望着蓝天,紧抿的嘴角放开,你一定是看见了什么开心的东西。
我想我可以理解那种笑容。我已经吃过了夏天的早餐,希望你也是。夏天款款升空。
祝一切安好。

这样子的大学生 - UPM暴力校园片段

如果未来的主人翁是从这样子的动物园大学毕业出来,我们亲爱的国家,我会在离开之前流泪的。

被欺负的同学们真的很好涵养,我看着片段的时候就已经怒火中烧了,很想打人。当然我知道暴力不能解决问题,可是我身上应该还保有一定的动物性(是不是我也是从动物园大学所在国家的另一间不知道是动物园还是幼稚园的学府毕业所导致的?),欲望从暴力出发的倾向。如果那种情况之下有一个人付诸暴力(虽然我认为声音的喧闹也是一种暴力。),冲突即将展开,有人伤亡的话事件可能升级,政党领袖开始苦口婆心妥协或姑息。也许大伙儿不服,这次事件可不能就这样子算数。反正大家数学都不好,怎么算也算不清楚,当初怎么会让动物园设立的。

拍不到荷花,正好蜻蜓飞过




我没有微距镜头,这是我所能够用80-200mm变焦镜头所拍到的最近的蜻蜓特写了。

关于蜻蜓,我对于她的生物上的特性一无所知,记忆中反而存有关于蜻蜓的故事两则:

一是在《别闹了,费曼先生》这本书里头读到的关于费曼在少年时期和蜻蜓有关的一则趣事。

二是在网路流传甚广的一个小故事

想拍摄荷花


家乡附近的一个油棕园丘处有一个湖,湖面上布满了荷花。我去过一次,可惜那时候的荷花没有绽放,只剩下枯萎的叶梗在静止的湖面上落寞的沉睡着。这次回家乡再重游一次,想拍摄清丽脱俗的荷花风姿。和朋友约好了一块儿去那个园丘,他们钓鱼我拍荷花。还是很可惜的,我和荷花盛放的情景无缘,这回的湖面依然布满了枯萎的荷花,偶有一些绽放着荷花在废墟似死叶堆里孤芳自赏,我站在湖边的草丛里望着如斯情境,和想象中的清丽荷花有很大的出入。无从下手的感觉,我就在那边随意走走,拍摄靠近的湖边的单独荷花,至于太远的荷花我手上的80-200mm镜头也无能为力。我一面拍摄一面思索,下次要找一个美丽的荷花池来过一过拍摄荷花的瘾,那个荷花池一定要方便接触,让80-200mm镜头都能够拍到特写的那种程度,经验中这样子的荷花池在怡保的霹雳洞有一个,应该还有很多地方也有如此的荷花池的,找一天要和朋友们特组一个荷花摄影之一日游。


就是这样子的一个湖

Car Insurance Quote Shopping: Make Sure Your Comparisons Are Equal

By Scott Lunt

Shopping for car insurance can be time consuming and generally is not a lot of fun. Rates for car insurance can vary quite a bit from company to company. So when you shop for car insurance, you should try to get quotes from at least three different auto insurance companies. However, the only way you can really tell if one quote is better than another is to make sure you're comparing the same policy features. Doing so, requires that you keep track of some basic information. Here are some tips to help you save time while getting quotes.

First, review your current insurance policy and think about your needs:

Decide if you want to get quotes on the same limits and features such as Property, Bodily Injury, Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist, towing and car rental options.
Decide if you want comprehensive or just collision coverage.
Decide what deductible you can afford.

Then, gather some information about your vehicles and the drivers:

Drivers license and Social Security Numbers (not always necessary but good to have on hand)
Make, Model, Year information for each vehicle
The average mileage driven each day for each vehicle
Vehicle features such as Anti-lock Brakes (ABS), alarms, air bags, etc.

Have all of this information easily available when you begin shopping for your quotes. Then as you get each quote, right it down on the same piece of paper.

It's also a good idea to take notes on how you feel about each company that generated the quote. Are they a financially strong, reputable company? Did they return your quote request quickly? If you spoke with a representative or agent, were they professional? Did they offer any advice? After all, insurance value is about more than price; it's also about service and trust.

关于微笑的方式

应该是工作上的棘手问题和不在预期之中的程式运行结果的关系,下午的心情有点低落。加上公司的年度营队近在眉睫,我们的分组表演的剧本和道具服装等等准备工作还没开始着手进行,好像所有的不协调乘机集合,需而进化成压力。所以我想出去走走,我在google talk对BH说。出去走走之前打了个电话给小雯,想约他共进晚餐。他的声音听起来很空闲,不过我们最终却是因为晚餐地点的不妥协而约会不成。他希望去孟沙,我却希望他来谷中城,他说对谷中城有阴影所以不想来,我说我不喜欢孟沙不愿去,我们就说不如下次才一起晚餐。后来聊了一会儿,总是重复性质的感情困扰,妥协和坚持的矛盾,了解和被了解的困扰,离开和留下的对立。以至我最后的语气也变重了,忘了微笑道别,就赶紧和等待了好一会儿的小明会合。是讨论年度营队小组表演的时候了。我还是没有机会出去走走,讨论结束后我坐在电脑前按着滑鼠,无意识的消磨时间。没心情继续工作,也没心情回家。我终于出去走走,谷中城一如往常的人来人往,放工后的男女约会,逛街的学院生,脚步匆匆的单身过客。我是旁观者,寻找美丽的脸庞碰一碰邂逅微笑的机遇。后来我真的遇见了两个微笑。第一次是在佳世客买了苹果付钱时收银处的女生,第二次是meidi-ya面包屋的安娣,他一见到我就笑说怎么今天这么早来买面包,我回以微笑:“我怕我喜欢吃的面包卖光了啊”。离开时他又给了一个微笑,我抱着面包离开,心情开始松开了。回去公司的途中在谷中城大门处迎面走来一个亮丽的漂亮女生,我望了他一眼,心里咕哝着好美丽的女生啊,然后对着玻璃门处的自己的倒影微笑一下。心情好像没那么沉重了,噢,我想回去公司放好东西就回家了。

Term Life Insurance Tips Guide

By Mansi Aggarwal

Unlike the insurance policies that are everlasting, term life insurance is one that is meant to fulfill your short-term needs. The term insurance covers for a period of one or more years. If the insurer dies within this time period, the death benefit goes to the beneficiary recommended by him.

At present term life insurance is the simplest, cheapest and most preferable form of life insurance available in the insurance market. It offers low interest rates and an option to renew the policy for one or more terms even if the health condition of the policyholder changes due to some reason. But the premium of the policy increases with the number of times it is renewed.

Though simple to understand and advantageous to opt, the term life insurance should be purchased keeping certain key issues in mind.

• Pen down your requirements on a piece of paper and ponder over the fact of kind of insurance cover you require, is it permanent or temporary.

• Once you decide to go for temporary i.e. term life insurance carefully choose an agent. This holds good with any kind of insurance you seek to buy. Independent agents are a good option. Independent agents are those who are free to offer insurance products of different companies. This provides you with an option of choosing a term life insurance product that caters best to your needs and aspirations. Though such an agent will lay open various options in front of you yet it is always better to first obtain an online life insurance quote and then select an independent agent. Prior acquired information can save you from deceit.

• It is better to purchase tem insurance at an early age for at this age financial requirements are the least. So it is good to start early when both, your health as well as policy rates are good. By doing this you can financially protect your beneficiaries as early as possible.

• Purchase the term insurance when you have a sound health. Healthy people have the best mortality risks and thus are much cheaper for companies to insure. The customers in good health are offered lower interest rate in comparison to those who have any kind of health trouble such as diabetes, cardiac problems etc.

• Since term life insurance comes at affordable rates and is quite flexible, it is good to buy sufficient life insurance to meet all your needs. It is preferable if you purchase an amount of coverage equal to 6-10 times your annual. Though agents might try their best to sell you more coverage but stick to what you require.

• You can make savings in the form of various options for payment on which the insurance company offers discount. For instance several insurance companies have discount offers for those individuals who pay their premiums on time or those who pay by monthly electronic funds transfer (EFT).

• Though purchasing a life insurance through your employer is convenient in many ways but it might not be the best deal in the market. Usually the policies offered at the work place are based on a combined profile of the employees and expire as soon as you leave the company. Thus a cost-effective policy that ensures protection for your dependents too is a better choice.

Cheap Car Insurance - 7 Tips To Reduce Your Car Insurance Costs

By Peter Crump

With the cost of car insurance becoming more and more of an issue for the average American family, there are increasing numbers of people looking for cheap car insurance. But although it is possible to find cheap car insurance, the question remains, is it worth buying?

Everyone knows that car insurance companies are not all equal. Cheap car insurance is wonderful when paying the bill, but make a mistake on the company you select and you could find that the cheap car insurance policy that you found may turn into a nightmare. Cheap car insurance may not turn out to be so attractive when making a claim.

So if you have found a discount car insurance broker don’t just take the cheapest quote that you get. You need to find out a little about the insurance company that is offering the cheap car insurance rates.

And there’s ways to reduce the cost of your car insurance even with the best of companies. Here are some tips for those looking for cheap car insurance to help reduce the cost of car insurance without compromising other things.

7 Cheap Car Insurance Tips

1. Look at your deductible amount. This is the amount that you pay first out of any claim. The cost of your policy is directly related to this amount. Many people, particularly those who have had their insurance policy for a long time, have never considered whether they ought to vary their deductible. If you have a good driving record and are prepared to increase the risk of paying a larger amount in the event of a (hopefully unlikely) claim you can save money by increasing your deductible.

2. Have a look at the type of car you drive. Certain types of cars attract higher car insurance rates. Cars such as sports cars and also certain makes and models that are prime theft candidates cost more to insure. If you are buying a car then find out which makes and models these are before you buy.

3. Drive carefully. Although it sounds a little trite to say it, your car insurance cost is a factor of your risk profile. You won’t get cheap car insurance if you have had 3 speeding fines and 2 accidents in the last year. These things are all taken into account and you should take care with how you drive. It all adds up onto your bill. There are big safe driver discounts available.

4. Considering installing safety and anti theft devices in your car. Again these affect your risk profile. If you have a car that is safer and less at risk of theft it should be cheaper to insure. And if you have a car with certain safety devices now check that your insurance company is aware of these, if not tell them.

5. Look at your policy when it comes to renewal time, don’t just pay. There are some things that you can vary in your policy that will affect the cost. Often there are some things there which duplicate other insurance that you may have that can be eliminated. Be critical, look carefully and ask questions about all these before you renew your policy.

6. Have a look at who your other insurers are. Many insurers offer a discount for multiple policies. If you insure your house with a certain company then ring them up and find out if they do car insurance. Get a quote from them. Find out what discounts they offer.

7. Find a good online discount car insurance broker before renewing. The internet is a fabulous resource. Use it. There are all sorts of discount insurance brokers online where you can get fast quotes from a wide range of companies. Don’t just settle for the same company you always use. Car insurance rates vary all the time. Always get comparable quotes before renewing any policy.

So if you’re in the market for cheap car insurance there’s some ideas for you. Don’t just accept that car insurance is always prohibitively expensive, get out there and do something about it.

Auto Insurance Tips Guide

By Mansi Aggarwal

Like our life needs to be protected against the unwarned dangers, our assets too should be shielded from all kinds of damages that can happen to them. Unlike few centuries ago, nowadays one of the major assets of people is their vehicle. Automobiles especially cars are incredibly expensive these days and on the same hand there is a surge in the crime against the vehicles. This makes it mandatory for every person to get his/her vehicle insured and so secured.

Auto insurance thus is the ideal means to cover your vehicle against danger of accident, theft and other incurred losses. Auto insurance covers the insured party, insured vehicle as well as the third parties. Each item is covered under different circumstances specified by different polices. Besides this some auto insurance policies may additionally cover medical expenses, personal injury protection and no-fault insurance.

Auto insurance is becoming more and more popular day by day. As a result at present numerous insurance agencies are offering auto insurance and thus people find it easy to choose from different policy packages available.

However before choosing auto insurance policy there are several crucial things to be considered. Some of which are listed below:

1. Prior to purchasing an auto insurance policy get as many price quotes as possible from different companies. This can be done online, through visiting the agencies personally or through an agent. Always go with a company that is financially stable.

2. Always check the cost of insurance before purchasing a car or any other vehicle. The car’s sticker price, the cost to repair it, its safety record and chances of theft are the factors that comprise the car insurance premiums. The information regarding which car to buy can be acquired from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

3. Always make it a point to look for higher deductibles. Deductibles are the amount paid prior to implementation of the policy. High deductibles greatly lower the costs. But opt for higher deductibles only when you have enough money kept aside to pay it if you have a claim.

4. You must bear in mind the fact that the coverage of the car varies with its worth. So the coverage is less on older cars and more on a brand new car.

5. If you have more than one car, prefer taking its insurance from the same insurer or if the insurance agency that has insured your house also offers auto insurance, go with it only. This will not just be playing safe but you may also get some discount on the policies.

6. Always try to maintain a good credit record. This helps in fetching you a good insurance policy for most often insurers use the person’s credit information to rate auto insurance policies.

7. Draw the benefit of low mileage discounts. Some companies offer discounts to motorists who drive less than average or estimated number of miles per year.

8. You can also avail the facility of group insurance. Some companies offer discount to drivers who get insurance through a group plan.

9. Last but not the least before purchasing an auto insurance policy, keep one thing in mind that companies offer discounts to policyholders without any record of accidents or of disobedience of road rules etc.

寻找的过程

这个星期天的下午属于自己,我翻开仅有的少量VCD珍藏,选了一片香港电影《飞一般爱情小说》。然后在电视机前重温这部少年时期极其喜爱的电影,里头最喜欢的角色是舒琪,他看着前男友在卡拉OK唱Beyond的《喜欢你》这首歌时泪流满面的场景仿佛触动了我心底那些不复记忆的着紧和希望破灭的微妙伤痛,我还清楚的记得,我喜欢上《喜欢你》这首歌也是在当初看了这部电影之后的事情。美丽的歌曲继续唱着,电影已近尾声,舒琪说寻找最好玩最美妙的部分在于那个过程。我恍然大悟,电影说的是寻找,我们都有寻找的意识,却不堪记忆那寻找的动机,于是寻找的结果也莫名其妙的消失了。还好过程真实的存在过,我们总能够从中获取些什么。就算是天涯海角的追思。

天涯海角》是珍藏的另一部电影,也是寻找。金城武饰演的寻找专家受陈慧琳委托找一个水手,那个水手是通往天涯海角的线索。故事发生在寻找的过程当中,至少他们寻到了爱情。以至结尾处陈慧琳病逝后的幽灵在葬礼现场安静的掠过他心爱人,一一微笑道别时我若有所思。关于爱,关于生,关于死,经过了,也就存在了。寻找过程以后,就是另一阶段的过程了。生死不息,爱情结束的地方在她开始的地方。Leonard Cohen的《Dance Me To The End Of Love》悠悠唱起。

How to Save on Your Auto Insurance Like George Bush

By David Maillie

The price of gas just keeps on going up and has no apparent relief in site (probably due more to George Bush’s close personal ties to big oil and the middle east than anything else). This in turn is driving up inflation and the cost of almost everything we buy or need including auto or car insurance. Here’s how to turn the tables in your favor and save money on your auto insurance like George Bush would if he had to pay for his auto insurance.

We’ve all seen the commercials and mailings for Progressive and Geico telling us to get online and compare auto insurance companies and get competing quotes. There is a good reason for this – it will save you money. In most cases, shopping for auto insurance quotes online will save you big money (the average online auto insurance shopper pays 38% less in auto insurance premiums). Get online and shop your auto insurance. You will save money.

It also helps to drive defensively and safely. According to the National Foundation for Highway and Traffic Safety, aggressive drivers cause 90% of all accidents and pay 30 – 70% more in auto insurance premiums. Take a defensive driving course. Many technical and community colleges offer these courses and they may also reduce points on your license and DMV record. That leads to another important way of saving money on your auto insurance - get points removed from your license. You get points for things like speeding, not stopping for a stop sign, running a red light, and not waving to George Bush (Just kidding). These points cause immediate rate increases on your auto insurance. Most states offer free or nearly free courses that will reduce the points on your license for most infractions (except for drunk driving and driving under the influence – you have to have a powerful name like Kennedy or Bush and then you get driven home).

Another way to save money on your auto insurance is to increase your deductible and assume more risk.. You will save money by, for instance, going from a $250 deductible to a $1000 deductible. One word of caution, do not drop uninsured and under insured motorists coverage. Due to George Bush and his lenient policy in the past with illegal aliens in our country from Mexico we now have over 20 million illegal and uninsured motorists in America.

Another great way to save money on your auto insurance is to drive a vehicle with a low theft rate. It is a proven fact that auto insurance companies charge higher premiums based on car brand and model theft rates. Since George Bush did practically nothing to stop these illegal aliens from Mexico we now have millions of them and they love to steal cars as some have found it easier than purchasing and they love Honda Civics and Accords. We don’t hear of many of them tooling around in a Mazda or a minivan. Maybe if George Bush invoked trade restrictions with Mexico this would change and jobs would come back to America?

Joining professional groups like AAA. AARP, etc… can also save you money on your auto insurance as you may be entitled to group rates. There are many other ways also. Now you know how to save money on your auto insurance and why we are earning less and executives at big oil are earning more and more (George Bush takes care of his friends). Also, I don’t know if it’s a republican thing, but lets think before we put a Bush in a political office in the future. If you haven’t yet had the opportunity, please watch Farenheit 9/11 and learn more about George Bush and his brother in Florida.

得闲饮茶

星期五我有两个小时午休。约了红苹果午餐,我们在san francisco coffee house吃意大利面喝咖啡。一段时期没见到红苹果了,他依然笑脸盈盈,红彤彤的脸蛋隐约流动着一丝迷糊的羞涩。我们从广场中庭走向东翼,一路上话语纷飞,我微微低下头看他说话,他的语调缓慢而柔软,有点模糊了时光的意味,以至广场的人潮通通褪去。我们两人独在时空里分享一段悠闲。

后来我们说起感情的烦忧。他说他看了一部电影,里头有一对白:“我知道失恋后三个月就会复原,可是这三个月里头我还会痛苦,这样的痛苦岂不是很肤浅?”,大意如此。

我问那是什么电影?他说是“得闲饮茶”。我决定下个星期要看这部电影了

午休结束,我们道别,好像可以微微拥抱的力度的那种心情。约好下次“得闲饮茶”。

Tips To Help You Easily Find The Best Auto Insurance Quotes

By Tim Gorman

Finding the best deal on auto insurance can either be an extremely difficult and boring task or it can be simplified enough to where its not viewed as a chore but as a way of protecting one of your most valuable investments (your prized car or automobile) for a reasonable price that you can comfortably afford. Naturally, when comparing the competing offers and quotes from the various auto insurance providers there are a few things you should be aware of in order to guarantee that you get the most amount of insurance at the very best rate or insurance premium cost.

Probably the number one feature that many consumers compare among the various car insurance companies they are thinking about purchasing their next auto insurance policy from is the price of the automobile insurance coverage. Let's be honest, this is a valid reason, especially in today's slightly inflated economy and with gas prices on a continue rise. The first thing that should be done when comparing auto insurance quotes is to make sure the insurance policies being quoted are similar among all of the auto insurance providers. Normally insurance quotes are provided free of charge and they usually last or stay redeemable for about a period of 30 days. You also can easily compare prices online at each insurance providers company website or by speaking with a customer service agent or representative on the telephone.

Although using the cost or price for your next auto insurance policy may be a good start when comparing auto insurance coverage providers it definitely shouldn't the only factor used to determine which company to obtain your next auto policy from once you actually decide to make a purchase. You should also keep in mind the quality and financial soundness of the auto insurance company. A company that offers the best rates but doesn't have the financial resources to pay out any insurance claims made does you no good along with a company that is stingy with its insurance money. Make sure and check the credit ratings for all of the insurance companies you are interested in using for your next auto policy. Another good idea is to check with your friends and neighbors to get their opinion on the auto insurance provider that currently insures their automobile.

Finally, don't forget that no matter how good the auto insurance company looks and even if the premium or monthly insurance rate fits in your budget if the auto insurance provider doesn’t meet your needs as a potential customer then they really don’t deserve your business. Customer service means alot nowadays so if it takes 30 minutes to speak to an insurance representative or if you are unable to access your auto insurance policy or account online due to constant computer problems then it may not be worth the time and aggravation even if the insurance rates really are the cheapest.

Car Insurance Tips to Remember

By Stefan Rockhaus

Lost your car? Well, provided your car has been insured, you can always get a reimbursement. That's the good thing about car insurance. It means insurance against loss due to theft or traffic accidents. Getting car insurance would guarantee payment of expenses incurred when your vehicle is involved in accidents, or is subjected to vandalism or theft. It also ensures you are able to cover the costs of potential damages or injuries.

Zero percent car insurance

Car insurance dealers may often make announcements of zero percent auto financing, and you may be tempted to go for this great deal. It would be a dream to drive away a new car with zero percent financing. This means a $15,000 car may fetch you savings in thousands, versus five-year car insurance with interest. However, you should know that this 0% car financing is not available for everyone. Many people even make the mistake of buying a more expensive car with no cost car insurance, thinking there will be no interest that they have to pay. Unfortunately, this happening is very rare.

Zero percent car insurance takes credit report into consideration to qualify for this insurance financing, and the guidelines for credit are extremely demanding too. There would be so many conditions of eligibility along with this offer that eventually only a few can actually get a great deal with the dealers. It is seen that car insurance with an interest rate offers a much better deal. Most of the time, this zero percent car insurance is offered only on some select vehicles; mostly on slow vehicles as the dealer's main aim is to get rid of the vehicles.

If you are a first time buyer, or you have a limited budget for your car, you should carefully investigate the different insurance policies available, as some might suit you better financially. So do some research, as it is possible to get cheap motor insurance as well as keep the premium on the policy very low.

Tips on car insurance

Some important tips to remember are:

• Higher excess: You can opt yourself to pay a higher excess in the event of an insurance claim.

• Do thorough research on the internet, as online car insurance is a lot cheaper.

• You get cheaper insurance if you get an approved immobilizer fitted in your car.

• Get an insurance broker, as he can help you pick the right insurance.

• If you are a student, you may gain some concession from the companies.

• You can also get a cheap car with a small engine, as the more costly the car is, the higher the premium will be.

• By building and protecting a 'no claims' bonus you will have a great impact on your insurance rates.

• If your car was very cheap, it may be cost-effective to have third-party, fire and theft insurance, instead of fully comprehensive cover.

• Never give your price first, and never take the first quote from an insurer.

• If you can, get your own copy of Credit Report and show it to the insurance companies, as they will charge you to get it for you during the approval process.

Insurance - Money Saving Tips For The New Driver

By Michael Russell

You've just received your long awaited drivers license and it's time to start getting behind the wheel. Congratulations! Along with the good news on getting that brand new drivers license comes the bad news of having to get car insurance for the vehicle you'll be driving. And if you're a teenage driver with that new license the cost of auto insurance can be astronomical.

It doesn't have to be as bad as it seems though. There are some ways to get a few discounts and ease the pain of these high premiums. It is going to take some time and a little searching on your part, but getting lower cost car insurance is possible. Here are a few tips to help you in what to look for when shopping for car insurance for the new driver.

• Shop around. I know that sounds pretty basic, but you'd be surprised at how few people do this. We tend to just take the word of a friend who says this insurance agent is who they use and we just buy from them. No, it pays to do some looking around. Compare the different policies along with the price. You'll be surprised at the many differences you come across.

• Shop online. Buying car insurance online is becoming very popular. It is a very convenient way to buy insurance these days. You can find many different insurance companies online and get quotes instantly. Be sure to check this out.

• Ask the insurance agent about any kinds of discounts the company offers. Even though you're a new driver, there are still discounts that you may qualify for.

• The type of vehicle you are going to be driving will play a huge role in the cost of car insurance. Will you be driving a hot new expensive sports car? Of will you be driving an older less expensive car? I know it is tempting to want the sports car, but if you're looking to save money on car insurance, pick the less expensive car.

• Have you taken a drivers education course? Insurance companies may give you a discount for that. Again, ask the agent about this and see if they do in fact offer a discount.

• Are you a teenage driver going to high school? How are your grades? Insurance companies will give out good student discounts to new drivers. This discount could be as high as 10%. Having good grades can really pay off.

• Drive safely. You can keep your car insurance premiums as low as possible by not getting tickets, or having accidents. Never drink and drive. A clean driving record will help you save money on your car insurance both now and well into the future as well. Keep in mind that driving is really a privilege and with it comes a lot of responsibility.

These tips should help you with finding the lowest cost auto insurance possible. Don't get frustrated. Have patience and ask questions. You'll find the best policy that fills your needs.
