.....times of refreshing.....

Sometimes I just loved to carry my elder kid who's 5 years old and whenever I carried him, he will hugged me tightly.Sometimes he also rested his head on my shoulder and closed his eyes as though as he is taking a nap. I feel that he sort of felt very secured in my arms and just leave everything to me without any fears or any untoward happening to him. He just have 100% faith in me.
 
How I wish if I can have that kind of faith in the Lord God. The kind of faith that I know HE will always lookout and care for me and diminished all my anxieties and worries and I know that I am being taken care of and shall not be in want. It's like  I know that I am well secured as though as I'm protected by an invisible cocoon. I hope I can developed that kind of faith.

Psalm 23 -

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
 ² He makes me lie down in green pastures,
       he leads me beside quiet waters,
 ³ he restores my soul.
       He guides me in paths of righteousness
       for his name's sake.
 ⁴ Even though I walk
       through the valley of the shadow of death, ^[a]
       I will fear no evil,
       for you are with me;
       your rod and your staff,
       they comfort me.
 ⁵ You prepare a table before me
       in the presence of my enemies.
       You anoint my head with oil;
       my cup overflows.
 ⁶ Surely goodness and love will follow me
       all the days of my life,
       and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
       forever.

It's been a while since I dined in Yew's Cafe, which is one of the better bistros in JB and offered a combination of western, oriental and even Japanese food. I usually patronage the Taman Molek outlet, which is the biggest of their three branches. Anyway, this time round, while on the way to the Tebrau City Jusco Shopping centre in Taman Johor Jaya, my family and I decided to have lunch here.

They seems having some promotion lately and I thought the food are quite affordable. Above is an Italian Herb Prawn Pasta which cost RM13.90.  It comes free with an Ice Lemon Tea.


I had the Rendang Chicken Thai Fried Rice, which was also free with an Ice Lemon Tea. This cost around RM11.90. Perhaps this is one of the best rendang chicken I have ever tried. There's really a Lemongrass fragrance there which indicate a Siamese present.The fried rice was nice too, very Thai style.

My little boy picked the above from the kid's menu, and it's called Neptune Kid with a free pudding. It came with sausages, fish fillets, fries and beans, besides the pudding. And, it's even costlier than ours - RM13.90. haha...

Yew's Cafe & Bistro is located at - Daiman Bowl Complex, Taman Johor Jaya, JB.

Thanks to the plate of nasi briyani I had last Thursday for dinner. It's spicy, lots of gravy and oily and now, my poor stomach gave away and I'm on MC on a Monday today. It's a cool morning and day where I'm sure everyone would envy me and might want to ask me where I had that plate of nasi briyani...LOL. Well, MC aside, I will have to work on today's tasks when I'm back to office tomorrow. So, MC is not that really a good thing, furthermore you also needed to pay for your medical expenses.


And, these thoughts also led me to think about the different nature of jobs. For me, being in a 9-5 kinda routine work, you are given a basic salary with likely a 1 month year-end bonus and some percentage of performance bonus, as well as increment. You are also given some amount of days for sabbatical and sick leaves. And, the better your performance is, promotion beckons and you got a minimal percentage of pay raise, but with more expectations of you.

If you are in the sales or you owned a business kinda nature of job, you probably started off with minimal or no salary and most of your wages are earned through commissions in closing a sales. This means, the harder (and smarter) you work, the more you gained and you can take whatever leaves you wanted, on your own accord. You are your own boss but with lesser security, depending on how you performed and networked. And, you may required to work even if you are sick. :p


It really depends on an individual and what he wants. Unless you are a big shot in a corporation who owns some shares, it's not easy to earn lots of  money quick while you are on a 9-5 while you got your paycheck  monthly. Then,  you can earned triple more than your peers if you manages to close some sales deals or a major deal but you may end up with nothing for months. Another way is, work full time then do some part time on sales and marketing, but that may be tiring and deprived you of rest.

Thus, my point of this posting is, I may afford to take a MC due to my entitlements by my company in a 9-5 job but if I'm in another line, being my own boss, I might have to work to rush some deals though I might earn more. Just some food for thought, on what type of jobs are more suitable for you.

Have a good working week, eat well, sleep well, exercise well and stay positive, healthy, cheerful and motivated always!
