I saw myself today...

As I stepped inside a bookstore today, I was halted by a sight.
I saw myself, a six year-old me, sitting on the floor; oblivious to the world; immensely concentrating on the book in hand.
The boy was reading Archie.
I used to do that when I was a kid.
Almost everytime, anywhere I can find a book.
I loved Dandy. He's got a kinda huge, weird looking chin.
The mamak at my nearby magazine store used to shoo me away if I was reading for too long.

"Sorry aa, takbleh baca lama-lama"

How wonderful it is to be kids...
No need to put in overtimes;
No need to put up with idiots;
No need to calculate how much money you should have in the bank to survive 'till end of month.

Hmm...
