Introducing my Family

  Introducing the Yips...the surname of my family is Yip which means Leave in Cantonese or can be pronounced as Ye in Mandarin. Actually, im proud to be a Yip since this surname is easy to remember and unique. Well, how does this surname originated? According to an unknown source, during the civil war in ancient China which is a few hundreds or maybe thousand of years ago...this surname arose in the midst of chaos. Forgotten which dynasty and who was the emperor, probably before China was united as one. There were three brothers with the surname Zhong, ran from enemies and in the middle of their escape, all three were separated. The middle brother climbed on a tree to hide from enemies. He adopted the surname Ye(Yip in Cantonese) to start anew. Youngest brother hide in a cave and adopted the surname Siew, to turn a new leave too. Since then the Zhongs, Yips and Siews are distantly related and marriage between these families is not encouraged. This is from an unknown source and cannot be trusted 100%. In my Yip family, I have two loving parents and 3 sisters (Kay, Yen and Eloise).
  Kay used to study in USM (Science University of Malaysia) and now works in Unilever based in Kuantan. Yen is currently studying in UTM (Technological University of Malaysia), now in Johore. I study in UKM (National University of Malaysia) and youngest sis, Eloise studies in Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, Kampar. Together with this blog, I will upload pictures of my family. Enjoy ya!
