There are also some important evolutions of myself:

1. Became less slow in walking and talking
2. Became more rude and fierce sometimes
3. Became more confident in myself, at least have confidence-in-appearance
4. Became more aware and care about personal well-being and glooming
5. Became lazier in studies
6. Became more careful and sensitive in use of words in talking and writing
7. Became more interested in music and design
8. Became more willing to pay extra price for something

Anyway, 10 years is very long and things can become completely different. In spite of differences, some attributes can still remain or getting more intensified.

The past is just a mirror of each person and sharing the above with you also drags my memory from the deep and can make me look at my future more clearly.
