Thank You Note


A great thanks to Kolej Tunku Abdul Rahman for inviting Mr. Tony Buzan to enlighten us with the "Amazing Brain Fact" and the powerful, visual thinking technique - Mind Mapping®. I was so impressed with the effectiveness of Mind Mapping®. It gives me the courage to undergo the Buzan Licensed Instructor's (BLI) pre-certification training program. I've successfully completed the program and awarded with the certification. Now, I am the certified Buzan Licensed Instructor and I've been applying Mind Mapping® techniques is all aspects of my life - daily house chores planning, lecture preparation, planning for academic research and more. I've also been engaged as a trainer for Mind Mapping® courses organised by Buzan Northern Region Centres for school and tertiary levels. In line with the mission of Tony Buzan, I will continue to promote actively mental literacy throughout the northern region of Malaysia with the use of Mind Map®. Hopefully, in the near future everyone around the world particularly in Malaysia is well-equipped with Mind Mapping® skills - to unleash the potential of their brains.

Mind Mapping Workshop (Tertiary Level)


On 7 March 2010, I had conducted Buzan Mind Mapping ® Course for tertiary level for postgraduate students of Wawasan Open University. Participants were exposed to Buzan Mind Mapping ® Laws as well as the power of associative thinking and imagination. They worked in teams to apply the Mind Mapping® techniques in various hand-on activities like note-taking, note-making, presentation and advanced writing. I enjoyed the session with them as it was filled with lots of fun and sharing.
