And <I>that</I> is a very sweet gesture ...<BR/><BR/><BR/>apokalypse: Ooh, what a thrill-seeker! Living on the edge of being caught. ;P<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your experience. I suppose you are all for hand holding and PDA. Good for you.<BR/><BR/><BR/>alex: I agree with you, <I>totally</I>. I don't know why some people always see something sexual in things which are generally not. <BR/><BR/>Oh yes, the human touch is the most wonderful feeling. It's such a great way to diffuse tension and a hug always make a day better.<BR/><BR/>We should make hugging compulsory (not just for farewells). <BR/><BR/>To borrow a phrase from Willa, "Write to your MPs."Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687038699686567647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532639.post-1124188529058034682005-08-16T18:35:00.000+08:002005-08-16T18:35:00.000+08:00Well, that statement from Najib is ridiculous. Eve...Well, that statement from Najib is ridiculous. Even Arabs themselves hug (guy with guy).<BR/>Hugging, kissing, holding hands are not exclusively sexual. It's friendship, brotherhood, sisterhood - love. <BR/>I've seen Indonesians, Bangladeshis and Pakistani males holding hands & hugging - but definitely not gay. It's everything but gay. They are good friends and brothers. What's wrong with that?<BR/>I have a best friend from Central Asia and I hugged him & held his hand before. Not gay at all. (Even though I am, but that's different story)<BR/>Sometimes politicians need to cool down and think before talking. They tend to jump on trivial matters for political gains while victimizing a group of people. And that is usually women, foreigners, youth, gays - minorities. I'm sick of dirty politicians.<BR/><BR/>I don't know about you, but the human touch is the most therapeutic effect I ever had. A hug from your mom, a kiss from your boy/girl friend, and a walk while holding your good friend's hand..... it's a miracle. If everyone gives everyone they know a hug/kiss a day, the world will be a better place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532639.post-1124187275746838202005-08-16T18:14:00.000+08:002005-08-16T18:14:00.000+08:00Some time ago my sis actually saw 2 of the cutest ...Some time ago my sis actually saw 2 of the cutest guys <I>ever</I> walking nonchalantly down Bintang Walk holding hands in full view of everyone.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>The guy I was seeing liked to play this rather silly, if not reckless, game of stealing hugs/kisses in public places.<BR/><BR/>Alone in a lift we kissed and broke off just before the door opened to let some others in.<BR/><BR/>When I dropped him off at the roadside he kissed me good-bye as some college students stood nearby (whom we thought were) looking the other way.<BR/><BR/>At night while waiting at traffic lights or stuck in jams he'd snuggle up to me, assuming it was too dark to see into my car (and of course it wasn't).<BR/><BR/>Of course we finally got caught. Once before he got off at his apartment he bent near to kiss me, and all of a sudden we saw a security guard staring at us from a corner. Played it cool and drove off.
