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.

DSCF0963
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.

DSCF0381
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..

DSCF0941
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.

DSCF0945
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.

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..

DSCF0929
I love girls..

Wait a minute, Im not discriminating anyone, or even being gender biased. But ,

I just love girls.

DSCF0926
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..

DSCF0934
I love girls....

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!!!!

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...

DSCF0949
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!

DSCF0951
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 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.

DSCF0904
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).....

Mumu

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...
