When holding hands is not because of affection

4th day of CNY and i am back in this busy city. Well, shudnt be complaining i guess, at least i am having a cosy evening to myself strolling on street while many are already working... Many of my peers are being sarcastic at our pay raise (and i occasionally rant about the high rent) looking at many others around, i guess it is really a subjective matter how you call ur pay as 'miserable' or 'pathetic'... just like the question of how much money is "enough"

. . .

While walking on street, i saw this caucasians couple who r probably in their 60s, both looks like they r over 180 in height, but the really warm thing is the old man holding the old lady's hand and leading the way. It gives out a feeling that it is just-the-way-it-shud-be.

Many young couples hold hands to show affection for each others, also sometimes we feel it is what couple should do. (the kinda thing that goes with movies, dinner, kissing, m.l. etc) while looking at this couple, i kinda feel how lucky it is, when you holding someone hand is no longer just because of mere affection, but rather a habit that inhibits in u just like u need to eat, sleep and breath.

A very warm sight to start my new year in this small island big city.. Happy Chinese New Year!!!
