As I said it, to Gladys:

And something cool happened today. I was in Tanglin mall at some up market bakery that sold Foccacia bread for the absorbitant sum of 1.30 a bun. My mother was picking out a basketful for lunch when she accidentally dropped one. The sales girl, (she couldn't be more then 18) was like "oh don't worry! Just throw it away" and proceeded to dangle the bun over the trash when I screamed and intercepted her.

I'll eat it! It's alright!
But it fell on the floor!
Nono! It's ok! It's clean! Look, after travelling around Southeast Asia, you can handle ANYTHING
But... but... (she hands me the bun)
Is this against company policy? (I ask, just to be nice)
uh.. no...
So I can eat it?
Then I'll have to charge you.
WHAT??! But you were going to throw it away!
But you're benefitting! (She's well trained in GP I'm sure)
ok... I'll pay half price for this then.
(she sees my mother which an armful of buns)... aiyah, take it lah.

And I thought that my ridiculous antic was very Fong-esque, so I SMSed him, telling him that he ought to be proud.
