Book Voucher BB1M

I got my book vouchers and bought some books that I like. Thank you very much to the government that gave book vouchers that worth RM250 to university and college students.

I used the book vouchers at Popular Online Shop which is very convenient to me. I can choose whatever books I love online, make payment and will send to the bookstore that I wish to. As a Popular's member, I get offered that can make me buy more books. Popular also give more reward when using more vouchers there. All the procedure only took within one week.I spend nothing to get all of this, it's really AWESOME!!!!

These are the books I bought from Popular. 

This is the reward I get from Popular. It have some shops' vouchers and RM50 Popular Voucher and one year Popular's Members Card. 

I joyed a program which posted in Facebook. Here is the program details :

[This is a small program run by the alumni of AFS Student Exchange Worldwide and I hope you find it interesting!

This is the person that you will have to send a book to XXX that where I get the news from.

Then, you need to repost my status, and give the people who responded my address to, so that they can send me a book.

then YOU explain to THEM how it works, and tell them to give YOUR address to the people who responded to THEIR status, got it ?]

This is a meaningful event that can make people increase the interest of reading. And is a nice feeling to get different books from different people which you don't know.

This is the book I sent to the people. I hope he or she will like it !

As a student, I appreciated the book vouchers that given by the government. Student, please don't sell it because it's illegal. We actually can get things that worth more than RM250, why don't we spend the book vouchers wisely? Some students will have the responses like I don't like to read, my test books are photocopy...... I will make it as a chance to have a hobby - Reading. From books, we can learn from others and to become a better ME!

The end of Year 3

Exam ended. Year 3 ended.

A sem-end lunch with our lecture, Mr Goh. 

From 2013, we are arranged into one class where our story between us start. We are not like other courses, will separate every semester but we are a CLASS from the day we met until the end of our course. 

We are very close, but how close are we?

1.  We have class every day from 8.30 am until 4.00 pm. 
2. We will have a birthday celebration for everyone. 
3. We will have some entertainment section like singing karaoke and watching movie. 
4. We will have sem-end lunch or dinner once we finish our exam with the lecturers who teach us.
5. We will having trip too after the exam!

Yeah, it seems very normal to a university student, but we treasure the friendship we built from Year 1.We are together to complete many subjects either in Chinese medicine or western medicine and some MQA subjects. I seem very hard to switch to a language in our course, but we used to it! Not like others courses, we can dislike a person since we may not meet the same people in one tutorial group or assignments. Every of us have different character, we accommodate, we argue, we hold hands to solve problems. We are a class together from the day we met until our class end. 

Good bye, Year 3 Sem 3!

To 中医5班，I am very glad to have you all in my university time. We have a one year time to stay in a class to complete our course before we are going to posting in China. Stay strong and we will be together until the end of our course! Relax and recharge during semester break, we will create more memories and fighting during Year 4! Happy Semester break!

Hand hygiene as part of an infection prevention and control program in all settings that support surgery, prevents patient infection and reduces an avoidable burden on health systems.

Do you know the steps of hand washing ? Let's learn it !

As a part of health sciences student, I am practicing hand hygiene. I will wash my hand before and after acupuncture, cupping, examination of patient and massage. This is to prevent to get an infection from patient and to prevent infection spread from one patient to another.

Hand Hygiene is not only practicing by doctors, nurses and medical staff, we should practice it too. Hand hygiene can reduce the spread of infection. Let's us practice hand hygiene!

2. World Password Day 

The first Thursday of May is World Password Day. Our email, school portal, blog, and every online account must have a password. How do you, set your password so that your things are secured? Here some tips from https://passwordday.org/ teach us how to set our password.

Online is a very common thing we will do in daily. Many things can be settled online, like shopping, paying bills, online banking and others that related to money. A password must be set strongly to protect our things online like mail, personal information and money. Don't forget your password and share your password with people easily.

3. Cartoonists Day 

Today is Cartoonists Day ! Cartoonists Day celebrates the anniversary of the publishing of the first ever colour cartoon, The Yellow Kid in 1895. Now cartoons are a core component of many newspapers, publications and printed media, and have had (and continue to have) a huge impact on our culture. (from https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/cartoonists-day/)

Which is your favorite cartoon? My favorite is Mickey and his friends! They accompany me from small which create a wonderful childhood for me! At the age of 5 , I remember that I will watch this cartoon every Saturday in the morning. 

4. National Day of Prayer 

The National Day of Prayer is observed annually on the first Thursday in May.  This day of observance, designated by the United States Congress, asks people “to turn to God in prayer and meditation.” The modern law formalizing the annual National Day of Prayer observance was enacted in 1952 and each year since, the President of the United States has signed a proclamation, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day. ( from http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-day-of-prayer-first-thursday-in-may/)

As a Buddhist, I pray. I pray to Buddha as follows: 

1. I can finish my degree on time and help people with the knowledge I have. 

2. I can take care of my family, especially my grandpa, since I don't know how long I can still take care of him. 

Pray is not a negative action to get something from God. Pray is a positive action to gain positive energy to stay strong, stay positive and stay blessed.

Be More Understanding

Double Parking seems is very common in Bandar Sungai Long. I am a student, to save my money, I choose to park at the shop lot car park rather than the RM1 car park. If I have class, I will go to school around 7 am to make sure that I have a car park.

But there have some funny double park like double park in front of an empty car park, motorcycle in a car park and some stuff in a car park to "book"that place. You can see this not only in Bandar Sungai Long, I can find it at the other places too. Why double park happened? I have some common answer like: Do not have enough parking, I just want to buy something in that shop won't take so much time, I just double park in front of my shop. Double park in a place that not really have enough parking can be accepted but please be more understanding.

Yesterday, I met a double park person with no manner. When I come out from exam hall and wish to go home as fast as possible to have my sweet dream, but my car being blocked. The car owner did not leave any contact numbers in his car. So I kept horning my car for 20 minutes! When the car owner comes out, he was acting like nothing can remove his car. Can you please apologize or having some guilty expression so that I won't be so angry?

Next time if you need to double park, please be more understanding. Let's think if your car being blocked, you are in a rush and you can't leave the place! What is your feeling? Picture yourself in the same situation. Please leave your phone number if you need to double park on your dashboard or stick on your mirror.The road doesn't belong to anyone, is share of all. We are just human, we have emotions! Understanding can make our life prettier.

其实死亡可以很美好

死亡对你来说是什么？是恐怖的？不可探讨的？不可被讨论的？

曾经的我以为，死是一件非常悲痛的事情。死亡不只把我的亲人夺取，它甚至改变了我的生活。当我阅读冯以量先生写的《陪你到最后》和《善终》的之后，我对于死亡有另外一种的看法。当我们尊重死者，以他想要的和需要的去参与他人生的最后的旅程，那其实是一件很美好的事情。

《善终》故名美好的终点，最好的告别。但是怎么才算美好？靠药物和机器维持着其实已经不能延续的生命？还是有一场非常豪华的葬礼？扪心自问，我们是否有去了解，其实他需要的，想要的又是什么？书里面也有说明临终的照顾和葬礼的规划，其实这不是死者一个人的问题，而是和家人一起讨论的。从冯以量先生的书籍，我思考一些关于生死的问题。其实每一个人对善终的定义都不一样，只要是他要的，那就是美好的终点。

书本里，每一个真实的故事带给我的都是不一样的心情与体会。当死亡在不一样的人身上发生，它其实又是不一样的故事。书里面有一句话句话，我非常认同。

让离去的病人得到善终，

让丧亲的家属得到善生，

让彼此的关系得到善别。

在这个社会，死亡还是一件避而不谈的事情，因为死亡带来的伤痛是你我都不愿意去接受。佛教说，生老病死是生命的定律，是无常。我们从来不会知道下一秒将会发生什么事情，但是我们能够珍惜当下的每一个时刻，去规划我们想要的。只有愿意去接受和讨论死亡，会减少伤痛，而是微笑的送别至亲，祝福他没有挂碍和烦恼到极乐世界。再一次引用作者的话：死亡是每個人都不可逃避的事情，可是善終卻是每個人都可以追求的權利。

感恩作者让我对生死有不一样的看法和想法与生死有了不一样的认识和约会。生死是我一辈子的功课，不只是对我，还有我的至亲。

杏林深处·TCM Night 2016

我们班的正经合照，可是人还是还没到齐。

中医之夜！中医学会有属于自己的夜晚，可以打扮美美,与中医系每个学生和老师交流，增进感情和狂欢的一个晚上。

这一次的中医之夜主题为《杏林深处》。场地设置的十分漂亮，还有一些布置可以给予拍个人照或是班级照片的。每个参与的人都有一个精致的银杏叶的胸针。晚餐也吃得津津有。当晚的节目编排很棒，我都乐在其中，享受温馨的夜。

筹委会安排了一部名为《杏林春满》的短剧，演员们都是中医系的同学。他们精湛的演技，搞笑的内容，赢得全场的掌声和欢呼声。当晚也有一个环节是播放各班的照片，轮到我们班的照片时，在中医系三年一起上课，一起旅游，一起疯……的回忆都涌上心头。其实在拉曼大学认识你们，和你们成为同学，是一件非常幸福的事情。

其实自己很久没有化妆，穿上裙子。

化妆和服装其实是对晚宴的一个基本尊重。

和教了我们一年的推拿老师——叶耀斌老师和他的妻子，陈美瑜老师合照。

他们两个是十分可爱，非常厉害开玩笑的老师。

谢谢筹委会用心筹备的夜晚，因为你们，我们拥有了美好的回忆。

Dream

为了软技能(Soft Skill)分数，要在星期日早上出席活动，那是多么痛苦的事情。会是一天很闷的课程？百般不愿意，还是七早八早起床到学校学习新事物。我选择的是  Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making 的课程，原本以为去到学校就是听听讲师讲话和做做练习的课程，但是上完了一天的课程，我完全改观了。这并不是沉闷的课程，而是一个让我重新认识自己的一个课程。一天的学习，让我有不一样的体会和想法。

上完这个课程，我有了以下的想法：

还记得小时候，我们天真无邪的梦想吗？现实中很多的挑战和困难塑造了现在的自己，但是有时也把我们追逐的梦收藏在自己的心底。那梦拿来发白日梦就好，要实践总好像比登天还要难！

从老师的课程中，我们尝试让自己放松，让紧绷的神经与细胞以不一样的状态与正能量面对挑战。为了塑造更好的自己，设定自己的目标是万事的第一步。接着学会放松可以让自己的脑袋更加的轻松和清楚自己的目标，再尝试改变，往自己的目标走去！

其实梦想不是不可能，而是在于我们如何从框框中学习改变，重新认识自己，往梦想走去！

谢谢拉曼大学准备了那么好的课程给我们，是一个值得推荐给学生的课程。

On a beautiful Sunday morning, need to attend a school workshop, is a terrible thing for me. Is this a very boring workshop? I can't sleep on my comfortable bed, still wake up and going to school. The workshop I choose is Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making. In my opinion, it should be a boring lecture with my notes and some exercises to working on. At the end of the day, I changed my mind, is an interesting workshop which I learned a lot. It is a course where I start to know again myself. A day of learning, I have some awesome experienced.

After the course, I have an opinion below: 

Do you still remember the dream that when we are small?In reality, a lot of challenges that make us different, our personality and habit had fix from the past experience. Sometimes, will forget our dream which I feel that it is a dream that impossible to reach.
In the workshop, Miss Lily taught us to do relaxation which is very important for people nowadays. Relaxation can let our mind, relax, be mindful and face all the challenges with positive mind. To become a better "ME ", we should set our goals at first. Then learn how to relax ourselves and mind, so that we clearly know our target, try to change ourself, focus on our target and look forward to it!

The dream can become reality, is all about how to change ourself from a "square box", start to know yourself again and look forward to our DREAM!

Thank you UTAR for preparing an awesome workshop for us. Is a workshop that can suggest to all UTARIAN.

中医小成就 The little achievement in TCM

用了一年又四个月的时间和针灸相知，相识。这个过程不短也不长，但是往后的日子要怎么和针灸保温是我的一生使命。针灸老师曾说过，针灸的效果比较明显和快，是很多医师成立信心的开始。

I used one year and three months to learn acupuncture. The process is not too long but how to use acupuncture from what I had learn is my mission in my life. The teacher of this subject told us that , acupuncture gives a quick effect in short period, so is a way to build up confidence as a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor.

在拉曼大学，针灸用的时间就比其他大学长，读得更细。从认识什么是经络和俞穴再一一了解每条经络和每个俞穴的意义的作用，再到手法的操作，最后是治疗，和其他大学相较之下，我们就多了三个学科。我们的根基却比其他人来的更扎实。

The period of learning acupuncture in UTAR actually is longer compare to others. From the anatomy and function of every meridian and acupuncture point, the way of practical and how to treat using acupuncture, we learn three more subject as others are compile as one subject, But our basic is stronger!

针灸难读吗？其实没有什么科目是不难的。如何在临床上运用课本所学，贯穿四个学期学的东西，这才是考验的时候。学完了，其实仿佛什么都没有学过，就好象把所学都还回去给老师。对我来说，我的考验有以下几种：

1.  想不起穴位到底的位置和功用
2. 想不起哪个穴位对什么病才是最好的疗效
3. 临床经验不足
4. 手法操作练习不够

以上的种种都让我缺乏了信心！

Is acupuncture hard to learn? Actually do not have any subject is easy unless you pay hard work for it. How to use all the knowledge and use in life is not that easy. Is like you learn nothing after exam. All the situations are challenge for me , and make me confidence !

1. Forget the location and function of acupuncture point.
2. Which acupuncture point is better for certain disease.
3. The clinical time is not enough 
4. The practical is not enough

几个星期前，爸爸因为跌倒，而弄到手。没有明显的外伤，但是就是感觉活动不顺，无力。我就趁机说帮忙爸爸针灸，选择了几个常用的穴位。爸爸是第一个让我针灸的家人，他面无表情，但是内心应该很恐慌吧？进行一些手法过后留针。由于周末在家，所以只进行了两天。过后爸爸说手部的感觉有比较好，没有不舒服的感觉，活动也顺利了。知道后，我还真的很有成就感呢！
A few weeks ago , my dad was fall down and hurt his arm. Do not have any trauma can be seen, but he felt uncomfortable and powerless. I took the opportunity to do acupuncture and I had choosing some acupuncture points on the arm. Dad is the first man to get let me poke his arm. He did not have any face expression , did he scared of it ?  I did some technique of acupuncture and leave it for 20 minutes. Because I only at home during weekend, so I can only have two times to treat it. I am very happy to know that dad feel better and the movement of hand become smooth ! 

就让这份成就感增加我的信心，继续把针灸学好！
This little achievement makes me feel confidence, and I will practice more to learn acupuncture !

I am who I am

Who am I ? 

I am Hui Xuan, some people call me Lai as this is my surname, or you can just call me Hui Xuan. I am a young adult which 20+ years old, having my dream and enjoy my life. I am short, having a shoulder length hair and short-sightedness . Although life is hard, but I love to accept any challenge to learn different things from different fields.

I am currently a university student study at University Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR). I am studying Chinese Medicine as my degree course, which also called TCM. This is a question that had been asked by many. Why you want to study Chinese Medicine? Do you learn acupuncture and moxibustion as well? Can you palpate my pulse see what problem do I have? These are some question I heard from year one until now. And WHY I AM STUDY CHINESE MEDICINE is a question I will ask myself to keep myself motivated every day. 

My course has many great lectures from Malaysia , China and Taiwan. I have my practice time almost every semester in Tung Shin Hospital and others Chinese Medicine clinic. For Acupuncture, Moxibustion and Tuina, they are the main subjects in UTAR and I learn more compare to others university. TCM Centre is a place for students to training and practice. I really love the environment in UTAR to study my course. Chinese Medicine is a course easy to learn, but not easy to use when practicing time, so I hope that I can have more practical time since I will understand more and the theory of Chinese Medicine can be used easily. People will not sick according to the textbook, in reality it will be more difficult. Practical time is really important to me, since I am not a typical bookworm and can memorize anything written in the book. Yup, different people have different learning way and for me practice makes perfect.

In UTAR, I am also active in society, especially in Buddhist Society. Why I choose Buddhist Society? Buddhist Society is a world that I love since I was six. Buddha's teaching is not a rule, everything needs to be practical and can be proven, it is a logical thought. I am on the committee board for two years, I am really learning a lot, learn to be a leader, be patient and tough. Learn to communicate with different ways to different people. I'm joining others Buddhist association activities to learn more and know more peoples.

Who am I again ?

I have two hobbies that train my patient, which are photography and playing puzzle. Taking a picture is easy, but taking a nice picture is not that easy since I need to adjust the angle, brightness and any factors that affect the quality of the photo. I love to challenge 1000+ pieces of the puzzle or a 3D puzzle, they need a lot of patients to complete. Both hobbies actually increase my patient to face problem in life, especially in Chinese Medicine.

I have a lovely family, which consists of father,mother, brother and grandpa. Every weekend I will drive back to my hometown to enjoy the time with my family. Family is always a support for me when I face problems, tired and helpless. They always support whatever I do. My friends always asked me that," Don't you tired every week drive back?" Yes, is a bit tired, and my Friday class always until 5.30pm. I still adhere to, because I know that time with family is priceless, I don't know how long they still can accompany me in my life, so I do my best to be with them.

Life is short, so "Just Do it " to avoid any regret in life.
