The Sentosa

I have visited several cell groups and after a few observations, I have come to a conclusion that each of us are truly unique and each group, like wine, produces varying degrees of characteristics from different territories. How we are grown, where we are grown, and when we are harvested, all makes us truly one of a kind, and I believe each and everyone of us have our own purpose and reason to be in our groups at this very moment.

I have here a few pictures of a cell group from Sentosa that may not make sense.

and the congregation.

If you stare long enough, you will notice that the congregation is smaller than the team, but who's counting?

Actual winner of game: person with largest palm.

Catching up after 11 pm @ Yan's with Chin Lee very enthusiastically doing her bible quiz.

Even after CG hours. Good job Ms. Chin!

Celebrating Pei Pei's birthday!

-

There you have it. Melodies cell and all our quirkiness. Here's a little run through of our members and what they do.

*

tat

Titus

Main facilitator. Also the doting and loving and warm and nice and generous and role model of the cell group. If you have any questions answered, just shoot. If you have anything to share, just tell. And if you have an opinion you want to seek, just ask. If you always feel like you need to make a more solid decision, Titus can help. This is because he base his decisions based on his experience as well as the Pros and Cons. Titus is a very matured leader in Christ and he has strong leadership qualities. To handle our sometimes rowdy and noisy cell group, it takes more than just a man to handle and God has provided for us and gave us Titus whom we truly appreciate. Currently working in Singapore as an engineer and is attached to our lovely Jaelyn. Pray for their marriage in less than a year from now.


yan

Ng Chai Yan

Our assistant facilitator. Yan works like clockwork and has the memory of a computer. At least one day of a week, she never fails to send all CG members an email or a text message to remind us to pray for one another. Also the first to volunteer assistance whenever in her power. Yan is like a brother in many of our eyes because she is able to relate to the guys which is a gift. She knows how to complement jokes and makes people feel comfortable around her. She is one of the most efficient people I've ever met and that translates into a good organiser for all kinds of events. A truly awesome complement to our dear Titus.


Fu Yau

Cornelius Wong

The guitarist and often the guy who always have a very different perspective, point of view, and commentary on every topic from short talks to religion. Makes the group see things in new light. He is also the guitarist of our cell group who enhances the praise and worship session. Fu Yau is a very smart person who is going to graduate from university soon and is supporting himself as a computer consultant. Fu Yau inspires me to have more soul and he teaches me to have flavour in the things that I do. He knows a lot of random facts that are interesting and we really appreciate having him in our cell.


jiuan

Wen Jiuan

The nurse who has a passion for helping people. She is also the partner to one of our most eligible bachelors who is now no longer single, Mr Wong. Wen Jiuan is always concerned about her members and also offers her expertise on healthcare topics. Also always very open to new ideas and willing to converse it deeper with the host. We just hope that she will get to come to CG more often but that is unpredictable because she has to do shifts for her job. Well, we'll always keep her in our prayer.


JAELYN

Jaelyn

Our homecoming queen who is now attached to our facilitator Mr. Chan Tai Tat. In our cell group, she is the humble and modest one. Being a lawyer, often, you have to always argue your point with strong support but this is not what our Jaelyn is like. She is approachable, friendly, and caring. Once in a while, she will surprise us with an email asking how we are doing as well as updating how she is doing as well. Currently seeking a job in another firm so please pray for her! Also, pray that for her readiness in settling down in less than a year from now.


chinlee

Chin Lee

She is our catalyst as well as the BEST GUITARIST IN THE WORLD!!! Cell without Chin Lee is like a bulb without its filament. Chin Lee brightens up everybody's day without even trying! Although she may appear to be unenthusiastic and dull at times, she is still very funny. Actually she has a heart of gold but it's buried quite deep within. Also, she is one of the best eligible candidates for tasteful single men. We are hoping that she will not be single by the end of this year.


yechow icekrim

Ye Chow

The first few things that come into our minds when we think about Ye Chow would be motherly, good cook, genuinely concerned, generous, and always putting others before herself. Ye Chow is a modest woman of God. Her desire for Him has given her the gift of seeing visions and it even comes with with God's commentary! Ye Chow is also special in the way that she hold a conversation regarding everything under the sun with you. You will find that she is a very open and easy-going person the moment you talk to her. Ye Chow is currently studying to become a qualified nurse as she has the calling to work as a nurse in 3rd world countries. Pray that God will truly use her as way to reach out to the unsaved. We are also hoping that a prince in shining armour will whisk her away on a white stallion to a castle far far away then. :)


wei peng

Wei Peng

Or Apple as we may know her. Wei Peng is our bible quiz champion and we are wondering if she should take up Theology. Wei Peng is a very passionate person who really shows her desire for God. You can see it by the way she speaks, the things she does, and the way she thinks. She likes to share her experience with God to bless us and we are always so amazed by the way God communicates with her. This is because she is very transparent with God. She is not perfect but because she is open and always have a good relationship, God helps her get up on her feet again everytime she falls. Also a nurse, she has a lot of experience in putting needles into human veins / arteries. Also currently heavy laden with assignments so do pray for her!


maggie

Maggie

She may appear to be quiet and demure on first impressions but after a good few days of knowing her, you will realise that she can be quite mean (it's a good thing) and not as innocent as you thought. Haha. But we are all human and we should never judge anybody by the way he/she looks right? Maggie is (wait for it) a nurse as well, and she is very helpful. You can see her 99% of the time at Elim Kopitiam whenever TnT has a stall set up. She is as nice as a person as her uber awesome cheesecake. You talk about anything from funny jokes to intellectual conversations with her. Maggie is also a very eligible female candidate for marrying especially with her expertise in handling the job scopes of a housewife. She has a heart of serving as well which is why she went to Tibet to save the lost. Pray for her well being as well because she is suffering from altitude sickness.


raymond

Raymond

Remember the last time you trusted somebody with all your secrets because you knew that he/she is a person who is worthy of your trust and would not tell it to anybody? Remember the last time somebody promised you to do something and he actually did it well? Well, I think of Raymond. He is like a private safe where he keeps all your secrets with him and it never gets out. Raymond is such a passionate and enthusiastic about God. You can see that energy that shows in his face. The smile and the joy that is so contagious. Raymond is a man willing to sacrifice a lot for the sake of others, just like Jesus, but because he is human too, he has his shortcomings of which we can relate to. But he really tries his best and we see his effort, therefore, we feel that Raymond is truly one of a kind. The kind that really shows the love of God not by word of mouth, but by action which is the louder than words. Also, he has a neat HDTV in his home which has colours beyond your imagination. I really dig his TV.


kai chi

Victor Tan Kai Chi

Always the bearer of very funny cold jokes as well as a very visual communicator with God. Victor has a very unique gift that is expressing himself in art forms. His two strongest anointing are music and poetry. God gives him something, he processes it, and shares it with the rest of us from the stage and from his blog. To us, Victor is a very special person in our eyes because he has such a character that is so likeable, so clever, yet so modest. We have a lot to learn from him. :) Currently, he's a busy dude working 42 hours a day so he has to skip CG sometimes, but we always welcome him with open arm. Pray that his workload will lessen as well.


ke tyng

Ke Tyng

Although she is more or less with Ken's cell group now but I will never forget the times spent at her home at Jln Maju. Ke Tyng is the mature and gentle one amongst all of us. Everytime we talk about inappropriate things or go off topic a few hundred miles, she will bring us back to where we were. She has so many things to tell us, her past experience before she knew God and the difference now that she is a believer. On her own, she is already a testimony. Ke Tyng has a passion for nurturing our future which is why she has decided to teach in a primary school in Singapore as well as joining CBC as a teacher. She has the gift to relate to children and this is important because children are such difficult things to understand.


pei

Pei Pei

The youngest amongst all of us. She is a very mature woman of her age (18) and from a general point of view, she enjoys serving God. We are always so happy to help her because we know that this is for the greater good. Pei Pei knows how to plan things and get people moving. We would be happy to see her through her early TnT years but she will be going away to study and will be back a few years later. We are all praying for her future.


Joyce

Joyce

Our new member who is still young in Christ but wins all of us in reading his word! Joyce is just getting to know who this Jesus is all about and everyday, she is getting to know Him better. She does not speak much and that's because she ponders a lot. We always appreciate her sharing and questions. This gives us an opportunity to see things from a different point of view and it reminds us again of what it's like to be a young Christian, and the reason why we are. Joyce is a really nice person as well as she is willing to help all the time and she doesn't complain. We are truly blessed to have her in our cell.


alan

Alan

Tries to make it for cellgroup most of the time but haven't been able to due to work. He enjoys playing the guitar for cg, answering questions from the sermon, savour the refreshments prepared, while catching up with everybody. This cell group gives him the reason to have hobbies and allows him to take a break from the daily stress we face in the working world. He really appreciate having a great bunch of people to gather together every week to spend time with.
