This may seem a little obvious but - have you tried asking your Sifu?
If you ask "What is this stuff I've been doing for the last 9 months?" you may come across as a bit of a prune. 
Try this....
"Sifu, I've been studying under you for 9 months now and I love it. I'm interested in learning more about our style & it's history. Can you recommend a book or other source of info?"

"I want to know what it's like"
---- That's why I suggested you ask for information on the history of your style. That will tell you (hopefully) more than just it's name!
About your spelling - are you sure about Ho Gar Kuien? I bet it's Kuen, not kuien. Many if not most Kung Fu styles end with "Kuen" - It means "Fist". The "Gar" means "Family" so Ho-Gar-Kuen would translate as Ho family fist.
The nearest I have heard of to yours is Hung-Gar Kuen, a very popular stryle based mainly on the Tiger & Crane systems.
