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.
