Staying alone can be great and not so heavenly at the same time.

I stayed alone when I was working in Hong Kong for 1 year 3 months. That was my first and last. Asians usually live with their parents before they get married.

All in all, that period was enjoyable. I experienced loads of freedom, not just in doing what I want to do, but also in the control you have to make any decisions you want.

Don't worry about these, you'll have lots of satisfaction getting your house filled piece by piece. I moved into a completely empty apartment, save for the fridge and washing machine!

I still remember my first piece of furniture was my bed (Thank God!). I survived 3 months without a TV set which I thought would kill me at first as I was literally a TV addict. But hey, I realised I didn't miss TV as much as I thought I would after busying myself with other errands around the house I needed to do.

Because of that, I got a chance to pursue another hobby of mine - reading!

Enjoy your solitude. You'll gain lots from this experience.

Maybe the one con I can think of is the presence of "unwanted guests" around? Well at least for me ha! Oh, there's the flickering bulb that needs changing too! And the housework! ha ;p
