What's with that?

I get that in other foriegn countries that you it's a cultural thing to greet your friends with a hug and a kiss on each cheek.

But in Brunei, when I see two locals greeting each other like that it just plain annoys me. It's like. WTH? 
Okay I understand that maybe that's probably because they are really good friends and that it's a nice friendly gesture, then sure it's fine. Otherwise it just looks amazingly akward.
Or maybe it's someone you know from overseas that is used to greeting each other that way.
But I just don' like it when someone just throw their arms around you and plant kisses on both my cheeks when all you wanted was a firm handshake. 
It freaks me out, I respect the gesture but I feel like people are intruding my personal space since I am no where near close enough friends with them.
I don't know....I just don't like touchy feely if I hardly know you.
