Ms Chong, 20, ordered a bowl of fishball noodles and later asked Tan, then 19, to get an extra pair of chopsticks, but he refused to do so.
Ms Chong, a waitress, was unhappy and refused to talk to Tan, relenting only when the welder tried to pacify her by feeding her a fishball.
However, throughout the meal, Ms Chong was using her mobile phone to make calls and send SMSes, incurring his wrath.
When the couple, who had been together for five months, went home that night, they continued to quarrel and went to the 12th floor of a block of flats in Ang Mo Kio.
During the quarrel, Ms Chong told Tan that they could not change their tempers.
Tan took this to mean she was trying to end their relationship and decided to die with her.
He then pushed her over the parapet.
Seeing that she was dead, Tan then ran towards the parapet and flung himself over it.
His fall was broken by some metal scaffolding that had been erected as part of the lift upgrading works and he survived.
Tan, who yesterday pleaded guilty to culpable homicide, will be sentenced on Friday.
