#thatsmydad

-Asked me for the millionth times how to send a photo with his blackberry, and still forgets how to do it the next day #thatsmydad

-Gets extra worked up when debating with his children, about how "good" China is, and sulks and gets mad when we don't agree #thatsmydad

-A practitioner of the motto "The boss is always right" #thatsmydad

-Very stubborn, and thinks no one knows more than he does #thatsmydad

But above all that, he's someone his children are very proud of, and really look up to :

-Declined my request to transfer to a rural area in the States, but is a very good college and has a very good program I wanted to take, simply because he thought I would be bored in such a lonely small town "Remember, education is important, but connection and relationship is even more" #thatsmydad

-Imperatively told my sister to go out more on the weekends, and that she's not allowed to stay in and study for tests all weekend "Go have fun like your other sisters!" #thatsmydad

-Took action, and did the sex talk to me (not my mom), and did not make it too awkward. Told me she trusted me in everything I choose to do, and just try not to have baby before getting married #thatsmydad

Like any dad (or any guy), he has flaws and annoying habits that I couldn't stand, but apart from all that, his modern and one-of-a-kind value of life really makes him the most admirable dad in the world, and everything he taught us until today, gives me the confidence that I can apply all those to my kids in the future, and be a good parent.

(Wanted to post to twitter, it's their recent trending topic #thatsmydad, but realized there are too many things I wanna say about my dad)
