lol, I rarely initiate the talk to my parents unless I have to, they
usually starts talking first which I usually responded with the
ambiguous statements. Well, in fact, I rarely initiate a talk with
anybody, it's my nature to keep myself in the shade until I have to be
in the light.

But I never asked for money up straight like that though.
