Next week, it is again the week long march holidays. Perhaps parents out there are having problem of thinking of what programs to plan for their kids. If the kids are of teenager age, I would actually recommend them to go to all those orphanages or old folks home to do some community work or learn some dialects from the old folks as the dialects are diminishing from our society.
Parents or anyone interested to get themselves involve in community work can go to the following link to register themselves as a volunteer

adequate rest so as to get optimal brain function. It also helps to consolidate
memories, keep the brain alert and responsive. However, due to the lack of

Updates
This month is a pretty short month for all. In Singapore, it has been raining quite often except for the few days of the chinese new year where showers of rain only lasted for about an hour or so.
This year's ang bao collection makes me realized that even my distant relatives whom i only meet once in a while due to family gatherings gave me the angbao of blessings make me feel very touched. I never had this kind of feeling. It has been a long while that I got angbao from my 5th grand auntie cos I have not been visiting her during chinese new year due to that she said no need to visit her during chinese new year to my dad.

The importance of having the right beliefs in our own mind adapted from JosephPrince.com of mediate of success
Case scenario
When things go wrong in our lives, we often ask the question, “What did I DO wrong?” We believe that something we did
brought about the bad thing that has happened. Granted, there are
consequences to our actions, but what brought about those actions in the
first place? It’s our beliefs!
So the question we should really be asking is not, “What did I do wrong?” but “Where have I gone wrong in my believing?”
The bad things that we are experiencing today are often a result of the
wrong beliefs that we have. Similarly, the good things that we are
experiencing today are a result of believing right about the Lord’s
grace, love and promises for us.
Beloved, I pray today that the
Holy Spirit will reveal to you areas of wrong believing in your life so
that any hindrances to your breakthrough may be removed. Just go to the
Lord right now and ask, “Where have I believed wrong, Lord?” And let Him
guide you into all truth and show you the way to your victory.
When you know the truth and
believe right, you will live right, experience freedom from bondages and
walk in the blessings of God!
Verse to mediate on : And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:32

7 Ways to practice peace adapted from Joyce Meyers's promises for your everyday life devotional
7 Ways to Practice Peace
Living in God's peace is vital to enjoying life. I believe that one of the keys to living with peace in your life is taking small steps toward peace every day. Here are a few tips you can use to develop a more peaceful lifestyle.
1. Be selective with how you spend your time. You may be trying to do too many things and end up doing none of them well. Hurrying is the flesh trying to do more than the Holy Spirit is leading you to do. Be led by the Spirit.
2. Be prepared to say "no" nicely. Sometimes we take on things we shouldn't because we're uncomfortable saying no. Ask God to give you the words to say no when you need to.
3. Resist the spirit of procrastination. God's Word tells us to exercise self-discipline. Do what you know you need to do now so you can fully enjoy your times of rest.
4. Eliminate key distractions. If you know you are prone to certain distractions, such as watching TV, set some guidelines for yourself.
5. Set appropriate boundaries for interruptions. Life is full of interruptions, but you can learn to set boundaries that help you manage them in healthy ways, such as scheduling times when you are "off limits." Schedule time to give yourself a break.
6. Modify your life. Ask God to show you out-of-the-box ways to save time and trouble. For instance, when I don't have time to do the dishes, I use paper plates!
7. Pray and listen. If you can see that your plan is not producing peace, go back to God, pray for peace in the now, and for the wisdom to make changes that will benefit your life.
The bottom line is to make peace a priority, take practical steps toward it, and let God lead you every day into His perfect peace that passes all understanding.
Prayer Starter: God, lead me into Your peace that passes all understanding. Show me the daily steps I can take to walk in Your peace for me.

The answer for a guilty conscience from the excerpt from Jospeh Prince's daily devotional
The Answer For A Guilty Conscience-Hebrews 9:14
14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Have you heard the voice of your conscience saying things like, “You deserve hell for the sins you committed against your wife three years ago” or “Why are you surprised that your child is not talking to you? You were never around when he needed you”?
That is why you must have an answer that will satisfy your conscience. When your conscience says, “You have sinned. You must be punished for this sin or else God is not a just God,” you say, “Yes, I have sinned. But this sin and every other sin that I have committed were punished to the maximum in the body of Jesus Christ! So there remains no more punishment for me today, for how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse my conscience!”
My friend, the only way to bring peace to your conscience is to look to the cross. The cross of Jesus is the only answer that will satisfy your conscience.
So the next time your conscience condemns you because of sin, don’t try to silence it with your good works. Look to the cross and say, “Father, thank You for Jesus and the cross. Jesus was totally condemned on my behalf for this sin, so there is now absolutely no condemnation left for me.” Then, your conscience will look at the cross and say, “Ahhhh... peace.” My friend, Jesus’ finished work at the cross truly sets you free!
If you are willing to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour, please pray the following prayer
Prayer: Thank you Lord, for sending your son Jesus Christ to died for me at the cross. Please forgive me of my sins and I receive you King Jesus into my life as my personal Lord and Saviour. Lord, I give you Lordship over my heart , my mind and my soul. In Jesus Mighty Name, I pray Amen.

Eat healthier this year
This year is a very different kind of new year for me. I just thought that by eating healthier as in eating more fruits and vegetables is not enough. It would be good to keep check of the expiry date and the freshness of the food. I have found a link for that to check on how long can the food be kept for freshness. Please do take note even biscuits from Malaysia are not advisable to consume. Interested parties who are keen to know the list , please email me at akimoto_emi05@yahoo.com.sg

Thoughts after a movie
Yesterday , I went out with my friend to watch the show hotel transylvania. It was kinda a bit of hilarious but yet at the same time touching. This show is an animated show.
This movie even though is cartoon, it depicts paternal love and true love. Paternal love on how the father vampire despite being sorched by sun and got himself into smoke still insisted on finding back the love of his daughter's life. As for the daughter vampire, she found herself falling for a human. Yet it was love at first sight. How many of us in real life managed to get love at first sight ?
My question is how come nowadays is that MDA allows films that are being filmed using characters and vampires to show family love? There are pros and cons to this. Pros is that kids would not get nightmare when watching horror movie. Cons is that it is not good for spiritual health.
For once, I saw 2 movies with vampires that are being filmed in a month showing family love. The twilight saga and also this show hotel transylvania. No way am I going to watch the twilight series again so gruesome.
