For about an hour on Sunday, I was trying to tie a big piece of lacquered board on to of the rental car. I suddenly realize that I am pretty good with tying things together. This is a skill that I have never really used and it was acquired from my dad while doing yard work back in the days. I reminiscent of the lecture my dad gave me, on how "if you cant do anything in life if you cant tie ropes neatly". Till today I think he is wrong, but metaphorically he might be right, Its funny how a human mind works and the irony of it all is striking. I was thinking about how life sometimes seems to twist itself into giant knots and life is filled with knots, and takes time before you can take the knots and keep them neat and organized.. Somehow, I turned a brainless event into an philosophical debate. Strange and funny huh?

I guess one day I will give some poor kid some random fortune cookie quote, so that he reminiscent of it 20 years later.

Another note: Today is fathers day in Taiwan, The Chinese characters for
"eight" and "father" are pronounced the same, so 8/8 would sound like father, thus is how it became fathers day. So happy Fathers day
