Pitstop Cafe Photo Wall
Pitstop Cafe had recently turned 3 and through these years we had taken tons of pictures. So what I decided to do is to embark on a little project of consolidating and organizing all the photos that we had and make it into a giant online photo wall.
It is finally completed.
Do check out the Pitstop Cafe Photo Wall. See if you can find yourself among the photos!
Thanks for being a part of Pitstop Cafe.

Why do we eat log cakes on Christmas?
Ever wonder why do people eat log cakes during Christmas instead of a Santa Claus cake? Here is the story...
Once upon a time, there lived a man named Santa Claus. Santa was thin and scrawny, a bit like me and was doing this startup of giving presents to the kids. Life was tough as he had to trek over miles with a gunny sack just to deliver presents to the kids. The startup become successful and more kids started to ask for presents. Even after removing the bad kids, there were still way too many kids for him to handle.
The magic oak tree saw this and said to Santa, "I will sacrifice for you. Chop me down and use the wood to make yourself a flying sleigh so that you don't have to carry all the presents." The rest is history. Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer and his gang got hired to pull the sleigh. Santa Claus from then on flies and uses the chimney instead and due to the lack of exercise, he also put on more weight. Look at his tummy and you know what I mean.
As time progresses, we don't see much of Santa Claus anymore. The reason is that globalization has placed too much of demand on him. Though reindeers are not linked to the price of diesel, the cost of ERP and the financial crisis had resulted in Santa Claus cutting down on his travelling expense. In fact I heard that Santa Claus will be retrenching some of the reindeers too and outsource the job of giving presents to us. This is also why you see crazy crowd doing Christmas presents shopping at Orchard Road.
Last but not least, we would also eat log cakes to remember the sacrifice made by the magic oak tree and at the same time shout out,
Merry Christmas!
The end.

Frequently Asked Questions
I thought it might be a good time to create a section to answer some of the most frequently asked questions.
Is Pitstop Cafe halal certified?
We are not halal certified because it is a complicated process. However we do not serve pork and our food suppliers are halal certified. In summary, no halal but no pork.
Why don't we have a game menu?
We realize that game menu is pretty useless. Most of the games have description that sound nicer that it actually this. Furthermore some of the board games could be pretty complicated to learn for those who are new to board games. Hence for a better gaming experience, we would normally ask you for the type of games that you like and recommend something that is popular and suitable to your group.
hmmm I got to think through what are the other interesting common questions. At the meantime, if you have a interesting questions about Pitstop Cafe, do leave a comment!

Sharing the joy of board games
On the 22nd of November, En Community Services Society (ECSS), a Voluntary Welfare Organization, held a half-day Board Games event targeting the youths at Changi South Lane. Although Pitstop Cafe is a small, that did not stop us from trying to do a part of this event. Together with NTU FastForward, we lend our hands to such a meaningful cause, providing both manpower and the games. The event was a success, with over 40 participants.
Check out some of the pictures...
The NTU FastForward team that did a wonderful job in supporting this event.
What a better way to end the day with a nice dinner with the whole team.
I like to thank Jonathan and team from En Community Services Society for providing us with this opportunity to take part in this event. Last but not least, a big big thank to the great team from NTU FastForward Board Games Club. We would not be able to do much without the support from you guys!
Thanks for making the event a success!
Pitstop Cafe, be part of the fun!

What a Wonderful PMS
This month PMS must be the one with the heaviest flow. Friends bringing more friends, packed our humble cafe with lots of fun and laughter. Despite the focus on heavy strategy games, it was nice to see that we have quite a few ladies who join in as well!
Special thanks to ex-Pitstop crew like Carolin, Smith, Chris and Alfie for not only participating but also helping out with the meetup. Also have to give credit to current crew, Yvonne and Mervin for making constant rounds of refilling the drinks.
It was great to see both the regulars as well as new faces. To view more pictures, do visit Pitstop Cafe on Facebook. I have seen a lot of familiar faces but have yet to remember all the names. Old folks like me tends to be more clumsy and forgetful so help me out by tagging the photos too!
It was great to be able to bring out some of the good games like Hansa and Puerto Rico as well as new games like Kingsburg.
Thanks again for everyone for coming and taking part and we hope that all of you had a great time!
Do leave your suggestions on how you would like us to improve on our future meetups.

In this type of games, it is all about making tough decisions base on the limited amount of resources that you have.
