Appreciating life’s sweet moments

Life in Singapore is hectic and most of us often have our heads buried in our phones during train rides.

Some have questioned the OP’s intentions for taking and posting the video. But perhaps we should take the video at face value and just appreciate it for what it is — a tender moment between a couple brought about by a simple but thoughtful gesture.

After all, can’t we all do with a little more sweetness and love in our lives?
