Visiting Tako's New House

This evening, my parents and I met at Tako's new place in Taipei.

The apartment is small but cozy. He and his fiancee have been busy during the whole month purchasing all kinds of furniture as well as some appliances. Tonight, my parents and I will stay here and enjoy the atmosphere of this new place.

Before we go to bed, Tako, my parents and I talked a lot about our work, living condition, and future. It has been a long time that we haven't shared our feeling together. From our conversation, I realized that I am a blessed girl. I have a stable job. Though I need to go to work early, I can enjoy a lot more time than most people after work. Usually I get home around 5 or 6, which is a desirable time for most working people. I can get home earlier to make dinner or do something else. As for Tako and his fiancee, whose office is far away from him, they always get out of their office at around 7, which is too late for them to have dinner together, let alone the time to make dinner for each other. Thus, I should be content with my life here.

Well, yes, I thought to myself, I am really content with my job and my life, though I am alone in Hsinchu. I enjoy the independent life with the most freedom. While I was thinking of my life, my eyes were wandering around this new place. "Some day, I will buy myself a house, a home with happiness and contentment, even just me alone inside it."
