Featured on Radio

Pitstop folks are always very fortunate to get featured. I was indeed very honored to be featured in the Straits Times, Newpaper, Chinese papers, school magazines, websites etc...

Now to add on to my portfolio, I was recently featured on the radio!

Just what exactly was the feature about?

drum rolls...

"vehicles traveling towards Lower Delta exit along AYE. Please be careful as there is an accident on the 3rd lane..."

And yes, that was me...

Slammed my car right into the rear of a Subaru.

If it's any consolation,

ok, at least I was featured.

Well, if it helps... Fellow Pitstoppers...

The numbers are 5272

Let our powers combine...

At Pitstop Cafe, we explore new ways to bring fun and laughter to everyone. So far there has been lots of fun and exciting events such as food hunt, bike quest, MSE day, etc. The latest event that we have a leg in, was the NTU MSE Day. Together with one of our supported club (NTU FastForward Club), the event was a great success. Check out the highlights of the event....

NTU MSE Day – Fusion 4

Held at the Nanyang Auditorium Foyer on the 10th of August 2007, MSE Day – Fusion 4 turned out to be a smashing success, especially in the areas of publicizing NTU FastForward. We would like to thank PitStop Café for loaning some of the games, MSE (Materials Science Engineering) Committee and of course, our very own members and gamemasters for gracing the occasion. We look forward to collaborating with the MSE committee for their next MSE Day.

‘Nuff said, hop on down for the pictures.

New Pitstop Branch...

Pitstop cafe is always searching for new business ventures.

It was one rainy day when an idea struck me...

DSCF6974
After a cool rainy day...

Tons of pitstoppers strolled in with their umbrella to avoid the heavy downpour.

Pink umbrellas, green umbrellas, umbrellas with casing, umbrellas with LV print...

hours and hours of fun within the cosy respite of pitstop cafe, while rain poured heavily outside.

DSCF6972
Really all sorts of umbrella that will get Rihanna moaning, "ella-ella-ella-eh-eh..."

Finally the rain stopped, pitstoppers wave us goodbye, we smiled at them goodbye..

Lo and behold, we saw the aftermath,

throngs of umbrellas lined the path.

DSCF6973

And now we can sell umbrella or even rent them out.

That's a joke ok? don't get too uptight!

Anyway, those folks who have left their umbrella here, your umbrellas are safe with us...

please come and collect them if you have identified your umbrella in the picture!

Pitstop cafe, rain more and we can sell umbrellas

monday blues

And I had thought most folks are either back in school,
or recovering from their Monday blues.

Pitstoppers really know how to have fun after all...

Well, not just among themselves but with other folks and more!

What was thought to be a quiet Monday evening was filled with laughter and zest by a group of SIM students, who took their game to a new level through a series of forfeits and pranks...

DSCF6891
Two cute chicks, one from Singapore, the other from Taiwan...heh heh heh

which our Taiwanese friends and Singaporean host, were also game enough to accomodate their jokes and even played along with them.

DSCF6892
can i be the victim of the forfeit?

It was really entertaining to see folks gel together and play together. It was really entertaining, especially for a poor folk who was standing the whole night behind the counter.

Yes, Hallelujah! thanks for entertaining me.

DSCF6893
They SIM to know what they are playing

DSCF6894
Trust me, Taiwanese girls are not as shy as they are perceived to be...

And I had thought one prank was all.

Nope the group had more.

Some of the pranks were downright irksome (chilli, ketchup cocktail),

some were just hilarious

and others had other purposes...

DSCF6895
Getting a guy to dance, hmmm...i wonder...

DSCF6896
hey come on, you can also try picking up the guy at the counter...

Well, thanks folks for that awesome night!

your unique personalities really fill up the walls of Pitstop!

Pitstop cafe, be part of the fun

The guy at the counter

We love Singapore. Its not perfect living, but at least it is interesting!

Pitstop Cafe, be part of the fun!

Coverage on Pitstop Outing

It was a great Sunday afternoon, where the Pitstop folks took a day off work to enjoy the sun, sand, sea and have some serious fun.

DSCF3488
Company outing 2007, Sentosa

To our surprise, some pitstoppers actually joined us in this event, making the whole outing very lively and 'happening'.

Well, usually I really abhor those ice breaking games like dog and bone, catch the jone and what have you... But today's Pitstop company outing made me understood that:

It doesn't matter where you are or what you play, it's the company that matters.

DSCF3489
The ever growing Pitstop family, call us to be part of this friendly working environment!

True enough, though we were engaging in mundane games that we probably played in our primary school orientation, I truly enjoyed myself in the midst of all these people I enjoyed to work with and enjoyed to play with.

DSCF3479
I dunno why, somehow I just find this picture extremely hilarious

The afternoon started off with a heated game of captain's ball. both teams try to score by passing a ball to the 'seeker' at the end of the court. Be it pass balls, catch balls or grab balls, the teams were so competitive that we had sand on our body, in our eyes and of course, our balls...

DSCF3464
We caught tommy changing in the tent, due to censorship rules,we can only display this slightly more modest looking photo

Next, we tried a classic game whereby after winning a game of scissors, paper stone, the loser will have to stretch his/her legs towards the winner.

DSCF3484
don't laugh too soon...

The fun of this game lies in that no matter how many times you win, its really the last move that determines if a person wins.

Indeed I'm surprise by how much the girls could spread their legs...

DSCF3485
It might turn against you

Well,how can a Pitstop outing be complete without boardgames?

Bringing Cash and Guns, a new game which involves robbers shooting each other in the attempt to split the loot amongst the midst of an undercover cop trying to pull down the posse.

Sounds exciting?

Indeed, when a group of folks who were so used to teaching people game, you can almost be sure that the whole game was filled with intrigue, schemes and cock ups.

just imagine Astroboy in an attempt to review his ammunition card, flipped the wrong card and revealed his identity of an undercover cop instead!

DSCF3454
The Pitstop Posse

Now, the afternoon's only half begun.

The folks now lined up to for the classic dog and bone. Usually, ill scorned and jeer at such 'bo liao' activity. But once again,

it's the company that matters.

Playing with people whom you have washed dishes with, make drinks with, taught games with and scolded at, it's really enjoyable.

DSCF3496
Dog and bone, the line up

Joo, being in jeans at the beach, was made the game master for the game. Basically, all of us were given a number, and when the game master announced the number, the players from both sides have to rush to snatch the bone without the opponent touching you.

DSCF3498
Initially, it was orderly, only one from each side

DSCF3506
when situation gets stagnant, more comes

DSCF3500
Then more and more came

Sometimes, the game master gets too bored, so he does funny things like burying the bone in the sand. and the result?

DSCF3504
Everyone just stood around, digging

Finally, we decided to change game. This time round, we played a very weird game.
We will form a circle, a folk will walk/run pass people around the circle.

The moment you are tapped, you are suppose to jumped up and chase the other person who tapped you. The other person, in turn, have to quickly rush back to the seat where the person was previously sitting on.

DSCF3514
Running in circles

Well, do you see the fun of this game?

Seriously, I don't.

It's odd.

it's just about running in circles, no depth, no intrigue at all.

But seems like everyone's got a helluva laughter.

It's really odd.

DSCF3508
Still running in circles

And once again, it's the company that matters, you can be running in circles and you will still have fun.

And that's because?

well, ya know what this is...

Repeat after me at the count of 3!

1!
.

2!

3!

Because you are running in circle...

And of course, in every game there will be a person doing forfeit.

We have our fabulous Peirong to do her exotic dance with the coconut tree!

We will upload the full version soon.

DSCF3517
Peirong and her magic stick

The day is coming to a close, and what's a company outing without a prize presentation?

Taking this opportunity, Pitstop cafe would like to express our gratitude to all who have worked with us in making Pitstop cafe what it is today.

Particularly so to some folks who have put in extra effort and go that one more mile beyond their job scope.

DSCF3492
Carolin, our most senior staff, who carried on working despite having stomachache

DSCF3491
Smith, our most eloquent staff who even uses pitstop cafe wall paper for his blogsite, sits and plays with fellow Pitstoppers (though i'm sure he does pretty selectively...)

DSCF3493
Joo, our most caring staff, so voluntary that he can even work for free...

DSCF3494
Alfie, our astute and decisive naval officer who ensures that all responsibilities exceeds your expectations

DSCF3495
Peirong, who started with lotsa mistakes like making 10 cups of ribena when customers ordered something else to a sharp and engaging chick, where guys flocked to Pitstop to look at

Anyway, the prize shown in the pictures are just props, all these folks will get a pair of movie ticket passes!

And you think that's all?

To reward the crew even further, Pitstop cafe brought the crew out for dinner.

Though nothing particularly glam, this dinner is really a gesture to show how much we value our Pitstop crews.

yea.. we value them as nothing particularly glam.Hahahaha...

DSCF3529
tell them to go sentosa to play games they don't want, the moment got free dinner, see how many people turn up?

Seeing at the happy faces of them all, I must say that I felt satisfied despite the opportunity cost incurred in turning down more than 10 groups of customers!

The opportunity of making more money is pale in comparison to seeing a group of people who do not even know the existence of each other, a group of people of diverse background and working style bond together like close friends.

Above all, such close friendships fostered among the crew is what made all the late nights, dirty dishes, smelly toilets and mean bosses really worthwhile and memorable.

DSCF3525
wonder why joo's hands are postured in such an awkward position?

Pitstop cafe, it's the company that matters...

and the company is Pitstop cafe...

just what do you think I was referring to?


Hahaha! Cheers!
