The sight of elderly men hanging out with their drinking buddies in local coffeeshops and hawker centres is a common one in Singapore.
What’s not as common, though, is witnessing them enjoy life to the fullest — as was witnessed recently by a lucky TikToker.
They posted footage of the men singing along to a few tunes in a hawker centre. Smiling brightly while they danced with each other, the men were clearly having the time of their lives.
The heartwarming sight has since gone viral.

The video eventually ends with their friends whistling to the tune as the man recording the video begins to dance to the song as well.
Wake Up, Singapore reposted the video on their Facebook profile, where it has since gone viral.

Such bonds were lifelong, they pointed out, and were a reminder of the good times that we should cherish with our companions.

It was thus a touching show of the cultural harmony that is part of our country.
Such a wholesome sight makes us wish we can have friendships which last well into the later stages of our lives.
Not only did they show how active they still were, but they also taught us to have a good time.
Hopefully, this will inspire more of us to cherish the good moments in life — while drinking responsibly, of course.
