Is he the Jenga King?
Jenga has been a quite a popular game among the pitstoppers. I guess it is mainly because it is simple, fast and exciting. Hands are shivering as each of them carefully placed each piece of the wooden blocks while shrieks can be heard from both guys and gers when the whole tower tumbles down.
Anyway we manage to take a snapshot of this particular guy who is playing Jenga...
Seem like just one of the many folks who play Jenga...
But don't be fool, we suspect that he is the Jenga King because he seem to be the center of attention among his group....
Everyone is trying to take a shot of him...
Every move he made is was follow by a furry of snaps and flashes...
His every move recorded in camera, handphone, pdas...
and he seems to be enjoying all the attention!
So do you have steady hands and steel nerve? Drop by to Pitstop Cafe and see how high you can go in a game of Jenga. I believe currently we seen up to 32 block height so far...
hmmm how high have you ever stack up in a game of Jenga?

AstroMum, Yo ah Yo...
AstroMum must be in a really good mood after beating all of us in 2 rounds of Yahtzee! Despite her blurness and inability to totally comprehend the strategy of the game, we totally lose out to her luck.
For both games she manage to get Yahtzee. Yahtzee is means having 5 of the same number on all 5 dices and you are only given 3 rolls to get it. In short it is really difficult to get it and when you get it, you sure feel high!
Uncle Simon, Auntie Emily and Auntie Lilian drop by the cafe and had a game with her too but all got burnt by her sheer luck as well.
Auntie Emily commented "Not nice to play lar, your mum must be at the cafe whole day yo and yo the dice is it?!!"
AstroMum, really gao yo...

Pay for Water?
In response to a recent newspaper article about how customers were pissed bout' restaurants and cafes not servin tap water.
I heard some places is going at 12 bucks per bottle...
we had similar experiences at a coffee club in Orchard. They stopped serving plain water, I guess cuz' folks have been hoggin' to their seats and just drinking plain water the whole damn day.
It's just like those folks who spent eons reading books and magazines at borders and not buying them
or even folks who tested the cds at HMV and buy it at their neighbourhood CD shop.
Now, whatever it is.
No matter how smart you are,
or crafty or cheapo
the bottom line is this:
Pitstop cafe has found the perfect way to solve all this unhappiness and conflicts.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
We still serve plain water...
*clap clap clap*
with ice...
*ooohhh*
with a tinge of lemon for a refreshing feel...
*waaahhhh*
in a nice blue glass.
*encore encore*
Pitstop cafe, We serve you plain water.

Who exactly is Mum?
Folks that drop by at Pitstop Cafe know that we have this item "Mum's Special" and most of the time they would ask what is Mum's special for the day. On certain days we do have it, while other days the response could be mum's not around or mum's out for mahjong session, or simply mum's not in the mood...
Is mum is real person or just a fictional character? Or is Mum's special just a gimmick to make the food sound good? Well the answer is Mum's special is really homemade cooking by mum, who happens to be astroboy's mother or perhaps we can term her as AstroMum.
Guess who is AstroMum?
AstroMum and her sister AstroAunt
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
AstroMum can be really FIERCE at times...
When comes to cooking, you won't want to mess with AstroMum
Anyway AstroMum enjoys cooking and is always experimenting with different stuff. She make pretty decent sushi as well but i guess her forte still lies in spicy stuff since she made and grind most of her secret chilli paste herself.
AstroMum's yummy curry
But of course when there is a mahjong session, cooking had to take a second place and that kinda of explain the inavailability of mum's special on Saturday. Anyway with the long weekend coming up, i been perstering my mum to cook something nice. Although she is pretty piss off with me about this, she is nice to agree on the sake of the cafe to prepare some delicious yam cakes for this week.
Upcoming Mum's Special...
For those who like yam, you really got to try this. Cos it really different from most yam cake outside. AstroMum really take the effort to make great yam cakes. All the cutting, mixing,etc is quite a bit of work. She always mix the yam cakes with a generous amount of mushrooms and dried shrimps. Added with her own concoction of chilli sauce, it is really good stuff. So check it out at Pitstop Cafe over this long weekend.
Thanks mum aka AstroMum!
On a side note, eve always say that i should not let people know that i am her hubby and scare away all her "secret admirers", but then when there are group of nice girls in the cafe, mum is introduce as her mother-in-law.....

Pitstop Crew goes Chomp Chomp
After a rewarding Sunday of entertaining folks and pleasing fellow Pitstoppers,
We decided to reward ourself with a sumptious late night dinner at Chomp Chomp..
So much for selling western food, I guess culture is still a very important factor to consider in a business..
SINGAPOREAN STILL PREFERS HAWKER CENTRES AND KOPITIAM
oooh....so orgasmic
There was this particular store which sells the Adam road prawn mee. We decided to order the crab soup at $12/-, the eggs of the crab coupled with the aromatic and tantalising herbal soup was really gratifying.
Oh, another thing. Despite being herbal and all, the uncle was still kind enough to refill our bowl of herbal soup again and again... some place ask them for a cup of water also make so much noise.. we must learn from uncle.
I guess, the rest is silence as a few pictures paint a thousand words:
Pitstop crew is really deprived of 'normal' life
The hawkers thought we were from Makansutra.. more like 'Sua Ku' (mountain tortoise) everything also must take picture..
We were so stoned after the meal, can't move. didn't know if it was the free flow herbal soup or the humongous sugar cane drink or was it the crab eggs...
However, what that didn't made the meal complete was..
YOU.
Yes, do join us when we have similar outing next time!!!
Remember,
Pitstop Cafe, really a different thang

Nostalgia
if you are at Pitstop cafe, you would have spotted a black bounded book titles 'Life before Pitstop Cafe'.
Egocentric it may seem, but the book really captures the youth, the playfulness, the non-chalance, the care free days of the four of us.
Looking at the book again merely reminded us the sacrifice that we have made, commitments that we have to forgo and the lifestyles we have to adapt to.
out in the sea, sun tanning and fishing
Enjoying a simple meal together
Massage by the beach...
What we have done so far is to transfer those energy to our cafe, we hope that despite stiff competition, the unforgiving society, the dog eat dog world, Pitstop Cafe can remain because of the passion of four young folks
and most importantly,
the many folks who have keeped the faith and have supported in one way or another.
So people who are reading this. Be it out of curiousity, coincidence or chance. Don't just read, do make your physical presence with us at Pitstop cafe and you will realise that
your experience with us is really unmatchable as it is one which..
comes straight from the heart.

师傅,别念了!
Warning, a long whinning entry...
As some of you might know, eve and i was supposed to "officially" get married this year. To startup Pitstop Cafe, we delayed to early next year instead. Time flies past and till now i have not really got the time to plan for it. Mum has been nagging. I now understand the pain of Sun Wukong...
"师傅,别念了,徒儿知错了..."
Hence i put my act together and try to pick a venue for our wedding dinner. By the way we are planning for 20th Jan 2007, more than 9 months away. To my disgusted horror, most places are not available anymore. I am starting to get cold sweat, eve sure gonna be piss.
The more places i check, the more jialat it seem. Its as if everyone is getting married. Some of the available places are charging an arm and a leg for their packages, $900 plus per table! Even my progress package can't get me a wedding table. Some even hit 4 digits! I will really need more of this and this!
I tried a few more alternatives and then i thought, why must dinner leh? Cannot lunch meh? Lunch will be great too mah. People do not have to rush back (ever been to wedding dinners with guests started leaving by the 6th course of the dinner?) and perhaps we get to mingle abit with the guests. It will be a sit down lunch and we could have the tea ceremony in the hotel. Relatives can come for the ceremony and proceed to lunch. We could have a nice chocolate fountain fondue so that even after lunch, people could stay around and interact. The hotel i found was Grand Copthorne Waterfront, a rather nice place. At night still can go cheong! Everything seem cool i thought....
When i suggested to eve, she still pretty ok about it. The concerns are will we ended up in another debt as people think lunch is cheap and maybe just give tissue paper for their angbao even though the truth is that lunch and dinner are similar in prices.
When i told Mum and Dad, they aren't exactly please with my suggestion. There are concern that people would not turn up, no atmosphere at home since tea ceremony is in the hotel, no MRT near hotel, lunch not presentable, blah blah, 别念了...
Even Timo had advise me to follow the social construct and feel that lunch does not have the mood. Just follow SOP he said. Friends and relatives i spoke with seem skeptical too..."Har, why lunch?" was the common response.
I am now confused as well. Venue for dinner options is really limited and to me seem so typical and boring. Do lunch, likely i will ended up paying alot more because people will think its cheapo. Furthermore lunch is not the conventional and it is my first time doing it, i am not confident if it will turn out as well...
Sigh, what a tough decision! Really got to make a decision soon, else in the end cannot get lunch or dinner, my head definitely going to be on the chopping board! Do i really need to follow the convention???

Dummy guide from City Hall (Scholar edition)
I was pleased to find out that retarded as it seems, some folks actually find the dummy guides to pitstop cafe interesting, informative and amusing..
Lo and behold, this time round it will be a more educational/scholarly version..
Anyway folks, be it you come from SMU or city hall, follow this.. you wouldn't go wrong. It is a nice scenic route and just a short walk away...
Upon exiting City hall towards the Funan side, you should be able to see this entrance..
once again, my greatest apologies for not doing it the classic dummy way.
St Andrew’s Cathedral,which is on the left is a distinctive and elegant institution in the heart of the civic district. Designed by Colonel Ronald MacPherson in 1856, it replaced the original church which was destroyed by two lightning strikes in 1852.
Just walk straight down the path and..
on your right you should see Funan centre..with seven levels of shops carrying merchandise so varied and diverse, will definitely make even the most discerning shopper come back for more. Because this is where they can find three levels of information technology and computer; and another devoted to fashionwear and the most advanced audio - visual equipment.
Walk on and you will see a bridge and slight upfront will be the Parliment house. 
if yer tired can just hop on the trishaw for just 2 bucks a trip... if not, this is kinda like an unofficial taxi stand as well..
To your left, you'll see Boat Quay..ahh..though we are located at circular road, which is just right behind, but nonetheless, the distinctive characteristic of this waterfront establishment is one of the major plus point of where Pitstop cafe is located.
Below is an abstract from Singapore Tourism Board:
'If the mouth of the Singapore River is considered the birthplace of modern Singapore, then Boat Quay is the mother of the Singapore entertainment scene. In the late 1980s to early 1990s, it gave class to riverside dining when good taste once meant being ensconced in a hotel grillroom or grand Chinese restaurant.
The restored shophouses now host a motley mix of restaurants offering Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Thai, Italian and other international cuisine. There are also cafes, pubs, bars and karaoke lounges.
Boat Quay is the after-work watering hole for professionals and expatriates from the adjoining Raffles Place financial district. As the evening wears on, the dinner crowd takes over and finally, the younger set of clubbers party into the wee hours, especially at weekends.
For centuries, rice barges (tongkang) plied the waterways; today, bumboats serve as water taxis, ferrying passengers up and down river.'
(http://www.singaporecanlah.com/singapore_today/boat_quay/last surfed on 7 April 2006)
walking on further will be what is unofficially termed as the 'air con alley'
this is a very unique local lanscape.. what used to be shophouses and warehouses evolved to adapt to the modern uses. Adaptive Reuse, according to Urban Redevelopment Board (URA)b allows all conservative shophouses to suit to modern uses. However, the facade must still remain the same and architecture alterations must be applied and vetted. That's why you see all the aircons and air vents hidden behind
Now this is Circular road... we are almost there..just look out for 14B..
And here you are..Pitstop Cafe

Really, in the first degree
Though it was kinda dissapointing that not many pitstoppers joined us, we carried on with our plan to club anyway....
Evelyn revealed her femininity, it made Astroboy 'rise'
Mumu is geared up as well, timo is still at the balcony lookin' at girls
The girls as usual revealed their bimbotism, raged into a frenzy of make up, cosmetics and what have you.. Astroboy couldn't care less while timo...
is perfecting his wu jian dao (infernal affairs) pose
Now, surprisingly two folks decided to join us as well... they managed to convince Astroboy to go Phuture instead of mambo.. which pleases timo very much....
They happened to be timo's ex students...
Now, all of us were set to go....
We behaved as if we've never club before..like some excursion..
Wonder where most of the pics went? well, Eve in her state of 'highness' deleted all the juicy pics...argh...
We had fun watching the 'hand signs' performmance..
There was this particular 'ba gei' (bucked tooth) guy who was very amusing, mambo regulars should know him..
We went Phuture later...timo is damn exhilarated, he is a damn ghetto freak... timo is a friggin nigger..
well, we went for supper....
Yeah, this place near Zion road. Weren't impressed by their food at all! they served nissin noodles!!! That's the problem going out with F&B freaks, we just like to analyse and compare with our cafe food...totally lose the joy of being a consumer..
abit high, snapping photos of herself
Eve is still snapping pictures of herself...
Legend has it that Astroboy saw Eve talking non-stop at night and saying many irrelevant things..
Timo replied, " hasn't she been always doing that?"
Pitstop cafe, where the fun never ends......

Ice cream makes people happy!
Due to the popular ice cream buffet, they have swept out most of our existing stock and hence we make another order and this time we bring in more new flavors! Check out our ice cream list for the current selection of ice cream flavors.
They are always so happy when comes to ice cream "testing" time!
The new flavors cookies and chip as well as hokey pokey is really good. Personally i like hokey pokey which is actually butterscotch mixed with vanilla. It is not too sweet and you just want to keep eating it! It goes really well with a nice shot of expresso.
Try out our espresso affagatto, goes really well with hokey pokey flavor!
Anyway, don't forget that we are having our ice cream buffet this evening. So drop by and try out all these new flavours! Yah mum also told me that she is cooking nice big prawns for today mum's special...
Pitstop Cafe, always something new!

True Blue Pitstoppers
3 months have past and Pitstop cafe had our share of weird customers, difficult customers, rich customers and even...
no customers.
But what kept us going on despite strong competition from both sides are customers who strongly believed in us and loved our place that kept our passion fuelling.
they make every game seem so fun...
Take for example, this bunch of fools, i mean this bunch of folks who call themselves 'the latecomers', they have been regularly patronising us since the first day we opened. And they have been faithfully patronsing and filling the cafe with fun, laughter, joy and...
smashed glasses..
even crappy ones..
of course, there are other loyal pitstoppers as well. (Folks!you know who you are!) But this entry is dedicated for them.
Because they are just so mysterious and they really make me wonder...
How do 4 couples managed to maintain contact and meet up almost every week?
How do they get to know each other?
What do they do?
Why are they always so late?
It really makes me wonder. So, latecomers, if you happen to come across this entry. Maybe you can do a short write up of your mysterious background, so that we can stop discussing and making speculations everytime after you all left.
Their dinosaur swallowed up Timo's cat!
Everyone of them has special abilities, can draw, can talk cock, can eat ice cream, can squeak, and even perform magic...
Anyway, Kudos to you guys! and all ye loyal pitstoppers. Keep the faith, something you have been waiting and asking for a long time is finally here.
And it's time for us to show you our deepest gratitudes.
Timo

Babes Night..
Having girls in a place is so cool.... don't mean to stereotype, but they really do bring in lotsa fun and noise..
I mean generally guys are so solemn and serious, only wanna go for strategy games or war games.. 
I love girls..
Wait a minute, Im not discriminating anyone, or even being gender biased. But ,
I just love girls.
I love girls...
Take for example, on a quiet saturday night (yea, what's new), these girls really bring in the funk..
Well maybe they are easily entertain, but seeing people entertained in Pitstop cafe really takes away any woes of the quiet saturday night..
I love girls....
With that, I shall dedicate a special night to all these lovely creation of God...
Babes Night, every Wednesday.
Yea, just show us that you are a girl (i can tell if you are lying)
and you get one whole night of gaming plus one triple scoop sundae for only $8!!!!
Pitstop Cafe, I love girls.

True Blue NUS Arts Students
Me and Mumu decided to go on a date after months of dry spell,
Mumu heard lots bout Maple story and its mushrooms as well.
Said she wanted to try,
And off we went to cineleisure level 9
where there was some kinda place filled with Maxonlines.
Paid 3 bucks an hour, and spent more than half the time
signing up for an account and figuring out how this line would rhyme.
So confused were we,
that the attendant took us pity.
Sign in using her account,
otherwise Mumu would look so down.
we spent the next half an hour or so,
beating up snails and looking for the bow.
5 mins left and we finally saw the mushroom,
we tried whacking it, but it strike us back and resulted in our doom.
So much for the date, and technology is so confusing
I rather play boardgames at pitstop, lest its not so embarassing.

Got Lucky
Due to the new fetish evenings we had started, some software changes are needed to handle the discounts, etc. While working on it, i kinda of add a new feature. What it does is that base on your receipt amount, it will generate a couple of "lucky digits". We are still thinking what to do with those numbers, perhaps it could be lucky draw, etc. So i generate the receipt to make sure the software is working...
See the random lucky digits? its 5338
Seem like a nice number, so i bought 10 small, 10 big for 4D. To my surprise, i saw this in the evening newspaper!
Its 3rd prize!
Sibei heng! Like that also ganna third prize. Now we can really get started on all those plans mention here. I wonder how much i ganna, heard should be quite decent...
Get lucky at Pitstop Cafe!

A dark and stormy night bright and sunny morning, the cafe was quiet. A nice sofa at the corner...

A Yahtzee fun time!
We have a few great groups last night! It always so warming and heartening to see familiar faces as well as new faces. We also like to thank them for choosing Pitstop Cafe to celebrate their birthdays and we hope you guys had a good time!
Anyway happen to get the chance to introduce and play the game of Yahtzee to this group of great folks. Yahtzee is a simple dice game. There are 5 dices and everyone gets 3 rolls. From the 3 rolls you need to get various combination like straight, full house, etc.
Initially it is kinda of tough to see the concept behind the game, or maybe it is due to my lousy explaining. Once we get the game going, people begin to see the whole fun behind the game.
Joy manage to get lots of straight, e.g 4 dice in a sequence and 5 dice in a sequence. But subsequently she kinda of got stuck cos she is still rolling out straights when she needs a full house.
Luck was abit on my side. I got a Yahtzee meaning 5 dice with the same number and that is a 50 points bonus. Hence i was pretty ya ya about it. However Brenda at the later stage got a Yahtzee as well. She is totally ecstatic! When she got 4 of the same number, her hands was shivering while making the last roll. When she got it she basically leap off her seat. Vieve got close as well when she got 4 4s on her turn. It was a pity that they got to go back early and hence we did not get to complete the game.
Thanks Vieve for sending us the photo. Our camera run out of juice...
Anyway glad that you guys enjoy the evening and hope to have another round of Yahtzee again!
Pitstop Cafe, check in for a great and fun time!

Snooked! (in the first degree)
Just when I thought we could have a jolly good time at zouk.... I was once again let down....
like the wise old sage timo said, "like steam already but cannot cum"
this taught me something about having expectations...
though they always told you it's good to have expectation, but I guess this is only one side of the story..
it's like sometimes when u club, u expect to have a jolly good time.. but in the end, everyone is so sian..
then it's like sometimes when u dun expect no shit, tons of girls come to get to know you..
it's like when you always look at chio bus, fantasize over hot sexy chicks in frilly skirts, then in the end you get a gf who is totally different.
I guess you get my point...
It's like before we started this business, we expected a smooth system such that we can just let the system run on its own..
then in the end, we end up being the waiter, the kitchen helper and the cleaner..
It's like we expect a crowd on fri and sat, in the end we end up having no customers..
having expectations is good, it prepares you and allow you to focus on your goal. However, sometimes having little expectations is also good. it brings you to reality and not give false hope.
I just remembered Astroboy writing a similar entry.. but this is just my little after thought after this snook attempt...
But still.. I have faith and hope that we wll go zouk once more.. now fellow pitstoppers.. dun let me down, this time with advance notice..
let's go zouk next wednesday.

The Life Example of S'pore Education
To all folks out there....I am utterly disturbed and depressed over the fact that I might not be able to do my honours. I have just emailed my scholarship officer and she has strongly replied that I should reconsider my decision to pursue my honours. ( note here, that she has not rejected my offer, just that she has advised me not to, she will monitor my grades this final semester and validate).
N why has she advised me not to do my honours? BEcause MOE rationale is: if you do not maintain a CAP of 3.5, unlikely that you will be able to handle the honours years. How come...there are many factors to why people do not get the CAP of 3.5. To cut the long story short, they are merely generalizing..
I need the 2nd Chance, to prove to them wrong!!! I am able to do honours, and handle my honours year!!!!!
Why am I kicking up such a fuss? Because, like a true-blue SIngaporean, I am so pratical ( thinking that by getting the CERT...not just a degree is the KEY to success in life). Obviously this mentality is not always true!!!! Like many Singaporeans, I like to stereotype and assume that those with honours are smarter than those who do not have honours cert!!!
WOe is me...I had not been focused during my UNIVERSITY life..thinking that life is a breeze!!!! the HARD facts of life has gotten on me...and now, I have no idea what will lie ahead of me...
Now I feel like a total loser, a loser who has failed in my studies...will I just stand back and see all my friends graduate with an honours??? We shall see!!!
I refuse to just graduate this semester and go without my honours!!! I shall fight for what I think I ought to have!!!! I just can't accept failure!!! (especially studies)..
I am just the epitome of many SIngaporeans who have gone thru the SIngapore education system...( one who thinks that the CERT is everything..everything else, cast aside).....

Eh do you have a game list?
This question was brought up couple of time. Though we have not got the list of all the games that we had, I can assure you that even though we are new, our collection of games is pretty decent. The last count we had, we have slightly over 100 games.
I do understand why people may like to know the games. It is just like before entering a massage palour, you need to know whether got special or not also mah right!
If i have never been to Pitstop Cafe, i might imagine Pitstop Cafe as a new joint with small collection of games, nothing interesting, only poker cards and aeroplane chess. Group of ah peh sipping coffee and playing dum while Timo is at a corner offering dragon saliva with crushed dinosaure bone....
Ok i am off track but the point is that Pitstop Cafe do have lots to offer. Even without the largest selection of games, it is a cool place to have fun, express your creativity, meet new friends, talk cock sing song, have ice cream, gourmet coffee, great food and last but not least, enjoy our friendly homely service!
So after saying so much cockshit, do we have a game list? Eh i am paiseh to say the answer is still no. Still trying to draft out the full list of games that we have but for the time being i manage to write a half-far list of some of the popular games that comes to my mind.
Check it out at the side link! If the list of games does not have what you are looking for, simply drop us a comment and we will get back to you. Yes, you can use our hotline to check out the games as well.
So don't be shy, just drop by! Even if we do not have the games that you like, i am sure we can make it up somehow...
Pitstop Cafe, more than just games!

Is there anybody out there?
I was reading this book Impossible by Danielle Steel and found the following paragraph pretty interesting..
"Listen, you have been single for about 10 minutes. I have been single all my life, and probably always will be, not because i love it so much, but because there is no one out there. There are either bitter divorced guys paying alimony they resent all women for, screwed-up widowers who think their dead wives were perfect and have forgotten how much they hated them when they alive, and you can never in a million years measure up to them, there are commitment phobics, drunks, drugies, mean guys, abusers, guys who hate women, guys who are secretly gay, and others who are openly gay and want to wear your dresses, there are boring ones who aren't worth the trouble, guys who smell bad, look bad, are bad, and old guys who can't get it up even with Viagra"
There is nothing wrong with the character in the story just that she could not find anyone and noone had bothered or tried to find her. I think we have really nice guys and gals that come over to Pitstop Cafe. Hmmm everyone should get to know one another...
Pitstop Cafe, where strangers become friends!

Fun in the first degree
I thought we could go Zouk on Wednesday night to have a little celebration. However on my personal side, things did not turn out as expected. In fact i am pretty disappointed and dejected. Nevertheless i am determine to have a great time at Zouk with the rest of the crew! Screw the present, there is always tomorrow to look forward to...
Anyone keen to join us? Drop by for ice cream and we head out after that. Steady bo?
I simply enjoy watching the sign language performance on Mambo night...
Pitstop Cafe, we jio you out for fun too!
Something to think about...
