Happy holidays! It's finally the day to wind down😴 and celebrate🎉! With 2023 coming to an end, I am grateful for you
1. Discovering this page
2. Hitting the follow button
3. Tuning in weekly for the Canto cussings
4. Sharing your thoughts about my work with me
5. Bearing with me when I'm inactive here
6. Cheering on my new fitness journey
7. Telling your friends about my work
8. Buying my art
9. Being here for me
10. Showing kindness to me
Without your kind support, I wouldn't have found my art style, created content with a mission, connected with the third culture kid community and staying true to myself.
Sometimes, I wonder if you have heard of those cuss words I shared since we don't get to use them often. As I write more and more, I see that my mission is to help you make sense of what native speakers say.
Therefore, translating and writing examples for context are the main effort I put in. If you have memories of someone cussing in Cantonese to you or somebody else, I hope you don't get too hurt when you see the meaning in my posts. I also hope it helps you gather what happened at that time so you can heal.
I have been cussed and cursed by my own family on the line of tripping over to death and having a miserable future on my own. As I write about the meaning in my weekly posts, I could feel the hatred they had towards me at the time, BUT dw cos I have moved on and have been sur-thriving since I went no-contact with them three years ago.
Holiday celebrations do look different to everyone. No matter which point of life you are at, you deserve to rest up and give yourself a pat on the shoulders. Look at how far you have come on 25/12/2023. You are Ho Lun Gain (好撚勁) - fu***ng excellent!
We are Ho Lun Gain! (我哋好撚勁!)🏅
