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.

CA1 - Making of CG Madness Photo
Wednesday, February 28, 2007
WARNING: IMAGE HEAVY
KONICHIWA from the happening St Margs Caregroup, CA1. We're here to feast your eyes on photos that we took for caregroup yesterday.
But first, I will give you a brief introduction of my lovable, Hana Kimi-obsessed caregroup members.
Sandy a.k.a Nezha (with ref to the photo).
Sandy is our main atmosphere maker. Her laughter is perpetually infectious and sometimes she's the reason why spurts of laughter evolve during caregroup. Plus, she makes fun of ANYTHING. Also the most giving, she's the one lending us money most of the time. Nonetheless, the one who makes things a lot more interesting.
Mila a.k.a Aspiring Missionary Doctor/Cute Geek.
Mila is a great support to the group, often seen flashing her megawatt smile which cheers everyone up instantly. She's also compassionate and has a huge burden for people. She's very sociable and humble, making her very important since my group's quite egoistic (KIDDING!).
Puiwah a.k.a Zi-High Careleader
Our dear CL is one whom I feel is extremely persevering and enthusiastic. She speaks at the rate of a bullet train that sometimes we can't really catch what she says. She's Kingdom-oriented and does not fear to share about her struggles. She's one who has slogged long and hard but her efforts have paid off!
Nicole a.k.a The One with the Indian Accent.
Anyway, Nicole just joined us recently for caregroup and duh, she's an added joy. She loves to speak in some pseudo indian accent which sets everyone off laughing. Usually the one with all the weird ideas, she brings about fresh change and is also a good partner to Sandy's antics!
Hannah Tang a.k.a The Big-Eyed Youtube-r.
Over the years, I've seen this girl's eyes grow bigger and bigger. o.0 Hannah is our silent supporter. She doesn't really make much noise but willingly becomes the laughing stock of our group thanks to Sandy. She's the blur and shy queen however, she's very serving(in sound) and obedient!
Jinger a.k.a Chang-Er
Jinger is our 1-month old believer and she has been faithfully attending caregroup ever since! She has been very responsive, laughs a lot with us and is very active in the participation of the group's jokes. She often raves about Edison Chen.. which some of us do too. Heh.. still, Welcome to the family, Jinger!
Mel a.k.a Cool-as-a-Cucumber
Mel left for Sound shortly after we took our pictures so we had to use this. Mel is someone whom is very calm and collected. She's also very persevering, even after been stood up by visitors countless of times. A reflective person, she's a strong pillar of support to CA1. And she also the local song-sharer in the group..
Claire a.k.a Loudspeaker (written by Sandy)
With her in the group, the group never fails to be quiet, but always VERY LOUDDDD! However, the loudness has contributed much to the group! Without her, the group wouldn't be as rah-rah as it is! She should however decide to stop irritating sandy! ohwells. Central A (which includes sandy) still love her like MADD!
And some photos of us fooling around..
Well, if you haven't known, my caregroup has been very sporting to participate in CG Madness, which is the reason why we're clad as such. Our theme this year was Geeky and so I made everyone tie 1 or 2 really high ponytails, wear their specs and hold their heavy textbooks.
I hope you had a hearty laugh at our sample photos. We're not revealing our submitted one so look out for us during service! We're bent on gunning a win this time round!
And lastly, our caregroup celebrated the spiritual birthdays of Jinger (1 month) and Hannah Tang (3 years). Happy Birthday, Children of God! You have come this far in the race so continue on with more fervour! No matter how old you are, you've been dear to us and God!
Do remember to send in your photo for CG Madness to cg.madness@gmail.com by tonight, 10 pm!
UPDATE!
This was our winning photo if anyone wanted a closer look. Just click on the thumbnail! HIP HIP HURRAY to CB2 for winning too! (:

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.
