pheever
"brothers in Christ"ah, i was looking through
jamie's blog and i stumbled upon this lovely photo. oh its the three of us again. dex noel and zx. noel looking absolutely stupid. me and zx are simply COOL. look at our cool faces. we look dao, so that makes us cool. i think. HAHAHA.
oh yes. i just wanna say. i am down with like fever and my body is feeling uncomfortable.
i need to recover soon. im playing for service this weekend! cannot fall sick man. the weather is lovely and rainy and i feel relatively useless.
i slept till 12.30pm tday. not because i was a lazy fatty, but because i woke up at 10am and i felt like i was sleeping on molten rocks from the earth's mantle (yes, magma). i was burning hot with fever. i couldnt bring myself to move from my bed! i tossed to the left to cool the right side of my body. soon after, i tossed to the right to cool the left side of my body. finally i decided to stop tossing in bed and get up, take an adult dose of parasetamol (that's the scientific name for PANADOL).
im feeling better, but i gotta get MC. missed school tday.
my classmates rock. they are like SMSing me the updates for each lesson.
samuel was like "mr chu flashed your picture (refer to previous entry) in lecture and he wants to see your MC."
marcus was telling me "hey, you passed GP with 22 and a half." --> yes, i expected to fail. Thank God.
i feel like releasing solid waste now. hmmm.
it aint nice to be sick. sometimes you feel as if there is so many things to be done, but you cant seem to possess the energy to do so. i can only like. type on comp, sleep and SMS. even phone calls are really tough because my ear will start to heat up the phone and it will feel pretty weird. inside of me, it's saying "study... do hmwrk..." but physically, im too drained.
STUPID FEVER. URGH.
dUncHx LiEk eUuz LoRrx ~
haha.
life still goes one.
work still needs to be done.
im gna go to the docs soon.
get my MC.
Psalm 80:30
Restore us, O God;Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
God, restore me!

it was a bright and sunny tuesday morning. i had economics lesson in school. mr chu, my econs tutor walked in with a peculiar smile on his face and he put his stuff down (his stack of paper, HP tablet PC and the trademark orange Nalgene bottle), opened his file, whipped out a piece of A4 paper.
he decided to switch on the visualizer, and placed that particular piece of A4 paper under the visualizer. the picture was shown on screen and he pressed the "Freeze" button to hold the image on screen for all to see. to my horror, as i take a glance of what was shown on screen.
and he said to the class...
"Doesn't this look like Dexter?" oh my goodness. i paiseh sia.
very funny mr chu.
but he's cool lah. he teaches econs well.
i feel secure that he is going to give me my A for econs.
that's for school.
oh by the way, today during his tutorial, he got angry because the class (and particularly me and some others) didn't study the notes well enough for his Q and A session. S:
okaay.
look at maxxi, he is being a lil' happy:
oh you so cute, maxxi (:
today, i was just having an awesome awesome awesome awesome upper room session with D5. it was amazing. aaron lee joined us. haha. i was just sharing my heart and experiences of praying and worshipping, and just wanted to tell them that sometimes we are so tired to worship God or pray, but Pastor How said that "The more you don't feel like praying, the more you NEED to pray!" dominic gets refreshed when he worships, and i realised that it works for me too !
Amen.
we need to really pray, man.
we engaged into a time of worship and it started out a little frail and shaky. it felt like i was the only one pulling. but later, the atmosphere changed after some time, and it seems like God just came and WHAM! the room was just filled with such spiritual atmosphere and the people were simply captivated by God and praying stronger than ever.
d5 has always been a relatively quiet CG, but that upper room session changed everything. it was the first time everyone contributed in pulling the presence of God and seeking God without being led in worship. it was amazing. the tired faces turned into faces in awe, and the lethargic body language turned into submissive kneeling. i knew that that whole session was all about Jesus, Jesus and Jesus. it was spiritual stretching and i know that d5's spirituality just came up one whole new level. it was clear in the Spirit.
the last few minutes of worship was amazing. it felt like we could go on for another hour (it was about an hour of worship before we ended). the whole session was just GOD's PRESENCE.
now, how can you say He's not real? the presence was so real, and more tangible than anything. it wasn't just emotions; it was life changing :D
oh! by the way look what i have in my phone memory card!
... an edmund. so cute rite hahaha (:
rock on d5. love God, love people, love life! ACCELERATE D EXTRA MILE!

welcome to the jungle
"Noeldickon at his best state of mind."
alas, another post in my blog.
that man above, was used by God to bring many others to their destiny.
mine too.
please don't be afraid of him, he isn't a venomous being.
he is a life-loving, people-caring and partially-unsound boy.
(partially unsound in a good way, mind you.)
what makes him special is God
"Noeldickson being not-himself and Zhi Xiang, with a bad nose-block."
above, is a picture of my close buddies in church
they've been with me from the times before I was on-fire for Jesus.
UNTIL TODAY.
still.
on-fire.
for.
JESUS.
without them, Catholic High wouldn't be having a revival.
"Smiling like delightful potato salad!"
together, we are happy potatoes.
Oh, and did you know that my hair used to be like super long behind and the sides, and was studying in a JC?
how in the world did i manage to walk around without getting caught? not too sure.
all i remembered was... my sideburns and back was long enough to tie them together. :x random.
and yes, my hair was THAT long. my current hairstyle is like pretty short. typically JC student, perhaps ? hey, hello, dexter is a good boy okay.
dexter is a good boy
dexter is a good boy
good boy
gooooooood boy ((:
and he's so cute
so sweet
so nice
so pretty.
okay.
enough.
but dexter is mugging hard and trying to be a gd boy okay!
"err, to be or not to be? dont care la, just serve God !"
oh man \: zhixiang just MSNed me saying "dexter, when's your birthday ah?" TO THINK I JUST CALLED HIM A BUDDY, HE DIDNT EVEN REMEMBER MY BIRTHDAY.
it's 21st JANUARY RAHHHHHHHHHHH GIVE ME PRESENTS (:
the final picture is a recent picture of me and my best friend.
it's like hamlet.
to be or not to be???
whatever the answer may be, hamlet. im serving God, and you should consider too.
i'm happy serving God, because ive become a better thinker, a better person, a stronger man, a faithful child and part of God's 300.
you think Spartans are powerful?
wait till you see hoGc youths (:
Sparta has a great leader
heart of God has the Greatest Leader :D
are you intereted to know why Christians like us can be so radical (sometimes you may say 'kee siao') for God and church ?
SMS me, and i'll consider bringing you to see what Noel's life, zx's life and my life are about this Good Friday and Easter.
God loves you <3
love,

fresh
i feel fresh
peel fresh.
ha ha ha. finally dexter has a new blogskin.
with a handsome boy playing drums on the bottom right.
this time, its not black and white.
it's white and black, and some grey.
and a new tagbaord that works (for now).
i am going to do a major restart to link people. soon.
when i get less lazy/busy.
it's a culture that we greet our Pastors and leaders in church.
it's repectful and polite (:
and just these few days, i've been to church quite often and i do my usual routine of walking into the admin office to greet my Pastors. But only recently did i realise that whenever Pastor How said hi, he always carries that genuine smile on his face. there is like 20,000 reasons why he wouldn't smile on a greeting, but Pastor How just picks himself up amongst all his busy stuff and gives everyone who greets him a genuine smile (: it makes me happy to see my Pst smile so happily. this tells me how much Pastors love their people, and no matter how tough times could be for them. it's people's lives that makes them happy.
it's my life that makes my Psts happy.
it's your lives that would make Psts happy.
it's our lives changing for the better, that makes Psts happy.
yknw what? whatever God is happy about, I am sure Psts will be happy too!
YOUR LIFE MEANS A LOT TO GOD, if you haven't understood.
ha ha.
beautiful saturday.
gd morning (:
