Being the honest me

(While driving halfway home..)

Mom: So when are you gonna buy a house in Mont Kiara?

Me: ?!! Whoaa... Just because the houses there are nicer and the place is a well-known high standard living area doesn't necessarily mean its the best place to live in gehh.. Other places also got nice houses-mar.

Mom: Then get a house in this area-lar ( the area where we're currently living at )

Me: Don't want!

Mom: (Paused, then look at me one kind) If you have a chance, you'll surely move out and leave us right?

Me: Yes! I'm being frank to you right now. Yes, I would.

Mom: So unfilial of you!

Me: Tsk! What unfilial?! Me moving out have no connection with me being filial or not. Its two different story.

Mom: Same thing-lar! You want to move out away from us.. that shows you don't respect us already-lor. When a child wants to move out, it means they don't like their parents-lor.

Me: ( =.=" ) Haiyaa... like I always said - When you have that kind of mindset, I say anything also no use geh-lar.. You want to think that way I cannot do anything-lor right? I choose not to say anything further already. (Quickly change topic....)

Yepz, I made myself clear this time. I'd move out if I have the chance to. Its not entirely a selfish thought. At least not how I'd perceive it to be. Moving out means learning to take up responsibilities, learning to handle situations (spoon-fed no more), and knowing how much I'm capable of supporting myself - These are vital to me at the moment. Something I'd like to know and find out myself. Reason unknown.

Parents. They would expect you to stay by their side till old - and when I say 'by their side', they mean it literally. My mom is the conservative type. She would want her children and their future family to ALL stay together under one roof. I don't know what the future holds for us, but I doubt I'll be staying together with my brother and his family. I do mind! (despite the hurtful fact that I might end up single and staying alone somewhere someplace... hoo boyfriend, where art thou? hehe..)
