Today, while eating the Siomai I bought from my favorite Siomai stand at a nearby mall, I overheard a mother talking to her children. She was asking which of the siomai variety her kids wanted and ordered each of her 3 kids a serving. When the mother left to pay, I heard the eldest boy (around 14 or 15 years old, im guessing) ask the youngest (7 or 8) if he was dizzy. The little boy mumbled a yes and leaned against the pillar. After a while, the eldest boy lifted his younger brother and carried him. He didn't mind the weight of his brother, thinking the kid wasn't too small anymore, and just carried him around.
That act of brotherly love gave me hope :)
