Ten Years Ago

Ten years ago I was only 21 years old. Still stuck studying to earn a degree in the US. I was alone, petrified in an alien surrounding, missing my parents and yearning for Malaysian food. I was high on cheese, in fact I bought a complete cheesecake, one pound or more, only to be consumed within few days. There were days when my diet was just cereals and milk. Only once a week i would satisfy my craving at an indian all you can eat buffet serving halal briyani rice with  relevant meat and veges. Or sometimes we will opt for all you can eat chinese buffet. Or was it this year that i started working as a waiter in a turkish restaurant? The memories i fondly cherish earning money for a living or rather for exploring the US. Or was it because i had to repay someone due to something i have done? Was i a bad boy? Bad boy bad boy what do you wanna do when the cop comes for you. I was lonely because i was yearning to have someone to love other than my familyor friends. I was looking for a lover which seemed far away. Was it this year that i have met someone somewhere when i was with my boys doing the lust triangle exploration? Was it this year that i stalked a girl which were way beyond my league?

Today I am a dad and a husband to a wonderful wife and mother.
