the Kwan family
hehe... i've found out some interesting stuff about my family lineage. apparently, i come from a pretty well off family way back in the 1900s. lets start:
Great-great-great grandfather(Kwan Yuen Cheong): First Chinese dentist in Hong Kong. Established Hong Kong's first Chinese church.
Great-great granduncle: Physician to Empress Dowager
Great-great grandfather: Good friend of Sun Yat Sen
Great grandfather(Kwan Kin Tong): Major shareholder of Kwong Yik Bank(1st local bank in M'sia)
Great grandmother: Daughter of Loke Chow Kit(of Chow Kit Road fame)
Great grandaunt: Nancy Kwan.Famous actress. she's even got a haircut named after her. the Kwan cut. (thats her pic =) freakin sexy..)
and...best of all.....Guan Gong!! (lol i'm not kidding)
not to brag, but whee!! my ancestors quite err..prestigious?? actually it probably isn't quite a big deal, but i thought it rather interesting how everyone could have a bit of history in their family tree. i happen to go to a family reunion with many many many extended relatives, some of whom took the time to compile a family tree kind of thing.
maybe i should write a book about my family..
