Live alone

My friend will move to his new home soon, so we did some window shopping for some thoughts of the setting and layout of his new 'sweet' home.

It's really enjoyable to shop around, and discuss how the new home will be like (Anyway, seems that I just like shopping :P), but it's just the beginning. What's more, there's much more out there you need to sort out, and they are of no fun. To name a few:
(1) Application for electricity/water supplies/towngas/telephone line;
(2) Notify the change of your correspondance address;
(3) MOVING!!

After all the above are settled, when you think you can start your new life, some nightmares may be waiting for you: clothes washing, cooking (maybe it's fun for someone, but think of cooking after your tiring work...), house tidying, household goods shopping... you will find it's no longer that enjoyable to live alone.

Even so, I do think living alone is a good experience for us. Living with family, we have always someone to rely on.

For me, I'm not prepared to live alone. I still want to rely on mum for her delicous meals and more! :)

Yes, that is the another important reason for me to stay in my home sweet home with my parents! :)Perhaps sharing a house with your best friend is another alterative... but I believe the saying of '相見好,同住難'. Even if you two are close friends, you may adapt different life styles, which needs a lot of comprimise.
