Culture in CBD area is during lunch time....
ladies like to go around and chope seats with their tissue paper.... meaning if there is a tissue paper there, placed on a seat.... u cant take the seat...
got this excerpt frm another forum...
----------------------------------------------------
My fren... was alone... wanna get a seat... walked around.. all booked by tissue... and worst part is the soup spilled abit onto his fingers... and he was pissed. So he just sat down at one of the "tissue paper" booked place.. and started eating.
Then a well dress gal came back...
Gal : Sorry, I've booked this place already.
Fren : Did u? How?
Gal : This is my tissue paper.
Fren : Oh, u mean this tissue paper represent you? this is $0.20... so does that mean that I could buy you?
Bunch of guys beside overheard the conversation.... burst out in laughter.... the gal became "pai say"... face red... like wanna cry like that.. and left.

my personal experience is this:
Went for lunch with my new colleage, she was frm CBD area one...
then now my office is at pasir panjang area.... we went to this coffeeshop to eat... just the 2 of us... then the curry rice queue damn long.... i told her to go first... while i humanly chope the place....
she say nvm... then she throw her tissue on this table... then she went to queue at the stall asking me to join her..... *shurgz* i went to join her....
as i was queueing... i saw the uncle who clear table one.... took her choping tissue... then put in his pocket.... wipe the table..... then go and clear the other table.....
heehee... tissue... 20cents...
plate of rice... $2.50
teh-O.... 60 cents...
seeing the uncle pocket the choping tissue.... priceless!!
