Sunday

After such a late night it wasn't surprising that I slept late. In fact I woke up 10 minutes after the first event was supposed to start. After a quick shower I arrived at the seminar room to see him reciting a 20+ digit number. The topic was memory and Anant is a record holder and winner in Memory championships (who knew!) in India and the world.

It was another interesting talk with some exercises as well. In the end he had us all reciting a list of 20 diverse words include penguin, ice cream and BMW and then a list of the 10 secrets of wealth. He even showed us how to remember long numbers although we didn't test it.

This was followed by a talk and then Q&A session with Dhyma Vimal who has written several books and founded an organisation called the Friends of Mankind. He believes we have the power to solve or at least improve on the problems faced by the world in general if we put our minds to it. Again a passioned speaker and an interesting session.

The chairman again met for lunch and several topics were discussed with a number of points raised that I think may benefit us in Australia. We then had a photo taken of all of us together. We were too late to go to the next session and so I continued discussion in the lobby till tea and then went to the last 2 sessions on the Leadership Exchange Program. This is a Mensa program that brings together 7 leaders or potentials leaders for 2 seminars. It seems to have had a positive result for the Malaysian attendees.

I returned to my room to get ready for the gala dinner and my key card didn't work. There was a mix up with the booking and they thought I was checking out today. It was sorted and I was able to get in and get changed (not to mention have access to all my gear).
