We went up to the 3rd floor to the open air garden and chit chat, my brother, my uncle and myself. The garden is absolutely beautiful thanks to my uncle and Rose's care and love poured into it. So we chatted and found out how this garden even came about. It started many years back when the roof used to choke and rain poured over unto the coffee shop and cause a mess. So my Jiu Jiu have no choice but to go go all the way up the the roof and clear the leaves that were choking the sewage pipes up on the roof. As the roof was flat and just covered in cement instead of tiles, he always take a moment to himself up there feeling the breeze and looked around before descending the ladder to the bustle of business. And it was in those moments that he thought to himself how great it'll be if he could have a roof top garden. And so he did when he renovated the house about 8 years ago. He included the stairs to the roof and fence it up and started to build himself a roof top garden by planting and decorating with appropriate furnitures[I went with him to get some of them =)]. 8 years from then, the garden today is beautiful and we can enjoy ourselves and just relax up in the rooftop chit chatting.
So life sometimes carries with it many trouble and mess that we have to clear up but in the midst of clearing them up, we find that it could be a door to discover opportunities for improving our lives. Not all bad things that happen is for bad, we need to look beyond and realize that it may just be an opportunity for something good to happen. =)
