"Love means never ever having to say you're sorry..."
That's one of my favorite quote taken from the book, 'Love Story' by Erich Segal.
Note: If you guys reading this post, hoping to read something about Binx's love story, you better stop here! hehehehe...
I remembered when I first found the book in the school library back in Kuala Berang. The cover was old and worn. That was the first time I read a love story written by a male author. I was expecting it to be nothing extraordinary, due to the fact that the book was not as thick as the other chic lit that I was accustomed to. However, I was hooked to it from the very first page til the very end.
I remembered crying my eyes out during that night when I finally finished the book in my hostel room. And I also remembered crying once again when I caught the movie, based on the novel, on the Hallmark channel a few years after that.
Recently, I have been trying to locate a copy of the book at the local bookstore, but they don't seem to be stocking it anymore. Maybe because it is such an old book (first published in 1970) that it is very hard to get a hardcopy of it anymore.
Imagine the thrill that I felt when I managed to locate an e-book of the 'Love Story' few days back! Happy giler ok..!
So there I was, reading the book again, after 11 years, thinking that it might not be as sappy as I remembered it to be. After a few chapters, I realised that it really WAS not as sad as I remembered it to be. In fact, I even managed to laugh along with the characters when they actually think that they might call their first son Bozo *lol*.
The tear-jerking part of the book only came at the very last few pages of the book. Despite it being very abrupt, it still managed to tug my heart and made me cry, AGAIN!
Aaaah.. such a great book it was... Seriously, for those who have not read it yet, I recommend you to download it now and read it. You can download it here.

I have also managed to download the japanese drama that I've been searching for - 'Beautiful Life'. Yeay!!!
Just as I remembered it, the show was superb! Takuya Kimura is so adorable and the storyline is so beautiful! If you are a fan of japanese drama, try downloading it here, and enjoy!
