Ra*bits Cantonese voices

It's rather interesting how all of them voiced by women :D

I personally like Hajime's voice, like... Ah-Be (his HK VA nickname)'s voice fits him sm 🥹🥹

I also love how Joyce's voice straight up fits sm with Mitsuru's dash dash energy. It's because maybe her voice is so distinct and similar (even when she did girls role)

TR:

仁哥 (jan4 go1) = Nii-chan | Nazuna's first kanji in his surname is pronounced as 'jan4' in Cantonese.

阿光 (Ah-Kwong) = Mitsuru-kun | 'kwong/gwong' is the Cantonese pronunciation of Mitsuru's given name.

45 Spicy Relationship Memes To Make Your Inner Freak Laugh Today (January 4, 2024)

[don-dake]

Random Cantonese Phrase-of-the-Day:

賣魚佬洗身 (冇晒聲氣)

maai6 jyu4 lou2 sai2 san1 (mou5 saai3 seng1 hei3)

Meaning: Lack of positive info.

Literal meaning: Fishmonger washes his body (no more info).

—————————————————————

E.g.: 我懷疑你畀人呃喇！自從你將錢轉入佢嘅戶口之後，就賣魚佬洗身(冇晒聲氣) 喇！

(ngo5 waai4 ji4 nei5 bei2 jan4 ngaak1 laa3！zi6 cung4 nei5 zoeng1 cin2 zyun2 jap6 keoi5 ge3 wu6 hau2 zi1 hau6，zau6 maai6 jyu4 lou2 sai2 san1 (mou5 saai3 seng1 hei3) laa3!)

(I suspect you've been cheated! Ever since you transferred money into their account, there has been no word from them at all!)

—————————————————————

Came across this, another 歇後語 (two-part allegorical saying, of which the first part, always stated, is descriptive, while the second part, sometimes unstated, carries the message) that I found especially interesting today! I love that there's an extra *pun to it too! 😺

*聲氣 sounds like 腥味 (seng1 mei6 — fishy smell) so, you know, fishmonger…fishy smell…easy to see why the ‘fishmonger guy washing himself’ is used in this 歇後語！

[alexseanchai]

hopefully? I mean I zero percent trust anyone borrowing words into English from outside of Europe in the 1900s–1930s to be doing so without embedding racism in the process, and EtymOnline and whoever wrote the etymology section for "mook" on Wiktionary can't prove the origin, but it does seem likely that whoever put "see also: mook jong" on Wiktionary for "mook" was on to something:

Derived from Cantonese 木人樁／木人桩 (muk6 jan4 zong1) Noun mook jong (plural mook jongs) (martial arts) A type of wooden dummy designed to be kicked and punched in Wing Chun kung fu training.

the name of these training dummies is literally the phrase for "wooden peg" or "wooden stake", with the word for "person" or "body" stuck in between. compare:

(colloquial, gaming) An anonymous foe that appears in large numbers and is readily dispatched by the hero.

digital training dummies. named "wood".

Temp Blanket: Week 1

It is officially 1 week into 2025 and I have completed all 7 days. It has been rather surprising on how much progress and emotions I have already felt for this project. The only thing I truly wish I could change is the curling problem that comes from stockinette lol

It is truly satisfying watching this go from one little strip and growing the way it has. Not gonna lie, this is probably going to be the longest project I have ever knitted. Biggest shall always be the Big Boi Project but this will definitely be the longest. I will try and get accurate length's but given that it is indeed a wavy pattern, will be hard pressed to do so. I can't wait for the finish line and after blocking to see how it all looks like.

Jan1 - Spring Green - 50°

Casted on with this and hit the ground running. Casted on 218 stitches. 1 | 216 | 1 is the pattern for the entire blanket. I placed stitch markers throughout the blanket. 1 to separate each 1 border stitch and then 1 sm after 24 stitches, as per the pattern says to do. I used accuweather.com to keep track of the highs of each day. I knit in the evening when the high of the day has passed, mostly to confirm what the high was to get accurate color for the stripe. I do not want to frog or backtrack on this project AT. ALL. 

Jan2 - Spring Green - 41°

Same color as the day before, which is nice because then I don’t have to cut the yarn just yet. It is kinda worrisome that the start of the year is already in the greens. Climate change is totally real, guys. Also, I saw on halfway through day 2’s stripe (row 4) that I had a void in the skein. What that means is that I’m at about halfway on just this one skein of yarn…I might need to go buy more. Oh shit.

Jan3 - Turquoise - 37°

A new color!! Hurray!!! It is going to get nothing but colder this winter here in CT but I am ready for it to bring some beautiful variations to my Temperature Blanket!! Will say that trying to get update pictures kinda sucks cause stockinette knitting tends to curl. A lot. I do not have any yarn weights so I am going the best that I can. 

Jan4 - Turquoise - 34°

I was at work all day so I did not have time to knit this stripe and will be knitting this stripe with Jan5. But it is turquoise so I thankfully do not have to cut or switch colors. Thank the gods. But I am definitely going to have to buy more of the winter colors at the end of January. Already know it. 

Jan5 - Turquoise - 33° 

Today was particularly windy and it also made me realize that I am going to have to go buy a lot more of the blues than I originally thought. And here I thought just having the get more of the Spring Green was bad enough. Oh boy. As I am knitting on row 7 out of 8 for day 5, yeah, I have a VOID in the skein. Def gonna need to buy more yarn for this project. Looking at the projected highs for the rest of the month, Turquoise and Country Blue are going to be used a lot. 

Jan6 - Country Blue - 28°

Ok, I know we are having an Arctic vortex coming over us right now but for fuck’s sake. It felt like it was colder than this all day due to the wind. I am thankful for a new color because YEESSHHH I am def gonna need to get more turquoise on my way home from work tomorrow. Most likely going to have to rewind this skein into a small cake cause the void is quite large. But for now I shall make the lovely country blue shine this day.

Jan7 - Country Blue - 29°

It was fucking WINDY today. It was freezing and winy. Not a good combo. But hey, a new color!!!! Kinda. I’m just over this cold nonsense. Working on this project makes me feel like I am accomplishing something, even with how cold it has been. I also have been trying to keep up with it and work is slightly getting in the way of it but that’s life. Seeing a side by side picture from day 1 to day 7 is such a good serotonin boost.

To sum up Week 1, I think it has gone really well. I've made tremendous progress on it and it's only been a week. A few things to note is I am definitely have to buy more yarn. This blanket will primarily be blue. Which is a different change of pace from me being in TX, that is for sure!!

n.b.: To anyone who bothered to read this, as is usual with Albert Leung’s (林夕) lyrics, they are difficult to translate for they are often highly metaphorical, and my grasp of Chinese (namely Mandarin and Cantonese) is also poor, so take this translation attempt with a huge pinch of salt.
