In 2020, I bought a condominium that was still under construction and it was predicted to be completed in 2023. However, owing to the pandemic of Covid-19, the completion date has been delayed. On April 30, 2024, I completed the vacant possession appointment for house key collection. Me and my husband have spent lots of time and funds on the house renovation and furniture. At the end of June, We started to move into our first owned house.

Some people like to spend their leisure time with their colleagues while others prefer to keep their private life separate from their work life. Is it a good thing to spend leisure time with colleague?
Many people prefer enjoying their free time with people outside their work, instead of hanging out with their colleagues because they want to separate their personal things from their work life. I argue that it is preferable to split the work environment with the private life because most people do not want to remember their work responsibilities when they are enjoying their off days.
