Aspiring to be a generation of young and radical individuals, we believe that life should be pleasurable, yet grounded in eternal and biblical principles which can benefit us. We strive to excel in every aspect of our lives, whether it is in our studies, CCA or family, in wanting to grasp the best out of life. We long to unleash the great potential in all of us to be the history makers we are all meant to be.
We are about encountering the reality and goodness of God in our ever-changing world; forging friendships that inspire, encourage and spur us on; finding the Truth and spreading the good news to the people around us; living life not for ourselves but for a Greater Cause.
United in Vision. Burning with Passion. For His Kingdom.
& even more HAPPENING! (;

HELLO EVERYONE! :D
and i'm back to update you about central a which is really getting more and more happening, hahaha.
okay, i know i said i'd blog the next day after my previous post, but HEH, i didn't get the photos till yesterday night and so, yeah.
SORRY!
so anyway, we had cg after wfl on tuesday and it was good! :D
we really had lots of funn, although the there was a group of people blasting pop music and dancing away in the same venue where we held our cg.
HAHA.
we started with games and our dear sandy was SUPER enthusiastic, always cathing the balloon(we were supposed to catch the balloon which is worth a certain amount of food, example, 5 tubs of ben&jerry's ice cream, and the one who has most food wins, HAHA)and so, she was the ultimate winner. :)
then we had a time which we pasted a piece of paper on our backs and we go around writing about and/or affirming each other.
it was rather exciting and very heartwarming, reading what we think of each other. :)

then we had praise, we were singing like nobody's business,
like the people there didn't exist, hahaha.
it was really funn, we sang 'we wanna see Jesus lifted high' as though we were still little children, with the actions that was taught to us in chapel
(for those who were from smps).
we may look really childish, but who cares?
so long as we get to praise our dear Jesus. :)
OHH and we sang 'He's able', also with actions.
HAHAHA, it'll be our theme song for Breakthrough camp. ;)
if you did notice, we had our own CA theme song during Encounter which is Christina Aguilera's come on over, lol.
and so He's able will be our theme song for Breakthrough.
HAHAHA.
WEDNESDAY!
haha, wednesday was a full-packed day and this coming wednesday is full-packed too! ;)
anyway, we met up for lunch at vivo and then the plan was to visit Doulos!
but it was raining and so we stopped by toys'r us which turn out to be really really funn! :D
CA loves spongebob! :D

and we were very amazed by the robot claw toy, HAHA.
and so you see us with a robot claw each, hahaha.
and guess what, we saw spiderman doing one of us He's able action! HAHA.

YES! He's able!
OHH and the amphitheatre at the top of vivo is a good place to have cg, hahaha.
we had our lunch there.
and when the rain finally stopped, we went up to Doulos. :)
i really admire this ship!
all the volunteers working in this ship are Christians and they travel around the world, serving the nations to express their faith in God!
and a fun fact for you: Doulos = servant in greek! :D

winnie, yuxin and szemin climbing up to Doulos. :)
CA on board Doulos! :D
they had a book fair on board, selling Christian books, CDs and even cassetes!
HAHA, cassetes are cool okay!
we saw a chinese bible as well and so, we looked up John 3:16 and started reading it in front of everyone, haha. ;)
神爱世人, 甚至将他的独生子赐给他们, 叫一切信他的, 不至灭亡 , 反得永生 。
约翰福音 3:16
and NO, our day didn't end here, after that, we went to pasir ris to:

CYCLE!!!
and i told you were getting very happening!
endless funn with people of same passion. :)
but we're not going to continue having funn as we're,
we're not going to stay stegnant.
we're going to grow, and not because we're concerned about the numbers,
but because we love people just as God love people.
and we want people to accept this divine gift of Salvation,
to experience the love and joy He gave. :D
besides, the harvest is already here and it's plentyful,
we just need to start harvesting!
HAHA, God bless and remember to harvest!

Games Review
Citadel
This is probably one of the most interesting and enjoyable game of the lot. Ranging from 2 to 8 players, it is equally fun no matter how many people are in the game. Personally I prefer more players, but a game of 2 players is extremely fun and challenging as well. The aim of the game is to build 8 districts in your city. Once 8 districts have been completed, the game ends and points are counted.
At the beginning of each round, everyone secretly chooses a character in a clockwise manner. This character has special abilities that can be activated during your turn. Once everyone has selected a card, the round starts from the assassin and the race to build 8 districts begins.
This is a game of strategy and persuasion. Every round is different as you get to choose another character. Collect gold as a merchant, or get more cards as an architect, or even switch hands as a magician, but dodge the thief and the assassin or else your turn will be futile. There is just so many ways of playing this game and the element of mystery of who is who just makes the game even more exciting. A problem is that first timers usually take a long time to choose the character they want. Solution: Have the top 3 characters you want in your head, so when the cards come to you, you can choose immediately without cracking your head.
I highly recommend this game at caregroup level and from what I have seen, both guys and girls love this game.
