CHOPE!
A classic Singaporean custom where we use items (mostly tissue packets) to indicate our reservation of a table or seat, particularly at hawker centres.
Examples
“Just now I saw that group leave, so I quickly chope-d the table with tissue”
“Eh, I chope this table already hor!” (Hey, I’ve already reserved this table!)
