WLD-1st May'11(starts 8.30am) at Bedok Reservoir Park
My original plan was to join Jean in JB. Yes, I was hesitant about having our Singapore miniature version of WLD celebration. Together with Eleanor we make a decision to go ahead and I think it was a wise one. Not too sure if we managed to stir up any interest among the morning joggers but our team enjoyed the 3 hours session. A good ending with great food too from all the laughter partners. Once again, thanks so much for all your support, (my laughing partners):

TampinesCC@24thApr'11
In order not to disappoint both Julie and Devi, I decided to go ahead with the 1 hour session (which was extended for another 30 mins). During the closure, Devi mentioned "it's worth it" and Julie seemed very excited about the workout she got for her abdomen just merely through laughing. Laughter partners (Eric, XiuQing, Sutini and Choo) came to support with their hearty laughter. Very good very good yeah!!!

A 'Laughing Yoga' poem
My eldest brother, Alphonso so inspired by my laughter wrote this poem:
Laughter Yoga ... ho ho ho!!!
Laughter Yoga ... ha ha ha!!!
Come and join us in laughter
Making you feel better
Making your health stronger
Making your spirituality higher
Yes, all these simply through laughter
Really; it is Laughter Yoga Laughter
Come and experience it
Come and see how we do it
Come and laugh with us
Come and watch how fast
Laughter can transform you
Into a world which only you
Can judge the value of laughter
It is an exercise which will not falter
Your self esteem, your confidence
But one of well keeled reliance
On your hands and legs movements
Plus a hearty and deep laughing moment
That is all it takes to start ... Laughter Yoga Laughter.
Ho ho ho... Ha ha ha ... Laughter Yoga Yeah !!
Laughter Yoga ... ho ho ho!!!
Laughter Yoga ... ha ha ha!!!
Come and join us in laughter
Making you feel better
Making your health stronger
Making your spirituality higher
Yes, all these simply through laughter
Really; it is Laughter Yoga Laughter
Come and experience it
Come and see how we do it
Come and laugh with us
Come and watch how fast
Laughter can transform you
Into a world which only you
Can judge the value of laughter
It is an exercise which will not falter
Your self esteem, your confidence
But one of well keeled reliance
On your hands and legs movements
Plus a hearty and deep laughing moment
That is all it takes to start ... Laughter Yoga Laughter.
Ho ho ho... Ha ha ha ... Laughter Yoga Yeah !!
A dedication to my laughing partners
My Laughter Partners
A class of 18 begins in a beginner’s English lesson,
Along the way, we lost 2, for some apparent reasons.
They came without knowing each other on 29th Dec 2010,
I am sure they will leave feeling for each other on 18th April 2011.
In that room, more than ABC was learned,
In that room, so much laughter were earned.
English , they said “a boring subject”, was taught full of fun,
Soon, 90 hours lessons will be gone and done.
Together these 16 had gone through a greatest transformation of their life,
As they were constantly charged with laughter for no apparent reason, true, am not telling a lie.
We laugh at each other silly mistakes,
We laugh at each improvement in stage,
We laugh celebrating each other’s birthdays with cakes.
We laugh at words - nouns (tea, noodles etc) with actions,
We laugh at words – verbs (clap, chant etc) with actions.
We laugh in group inside the class at all times,
We laugh in small group outside the class sometimes.
Constantly, the class is fills with ho ho, ha ha ha!!!
So much so, our neighbouring classes wondering why hey!!!
Thank you ladies; Ong, CC, Mary, Huang, XiuQing, Marlin, PHar, Shirley, BS, Choo and Zhou
Thank you gentlemen; Leslie, Seng, Darling Koh, Goh and Xiao
You all, are the reasons I look forward to my Mon and Wed, from seven to ten,
You all, for some, even though little improvement you made, I am very content.
You all, will be put to test just to affirm your understanding, yeah!!!
You all, remember just do your very best, don’t stress can? very good very good yeah!!!
Till we meet again, don’t forget to continue to laugh through-out your life, ha ha ha!!!
At least for this benefit, Endorphins you generate with every hearty laughter, ha ha ha!!!

Laughter Yoga is a revolutionary idea - simple and profound. Anyone can Laugh for no Reason, without relying on humour, jokes or comedy. Laughter is simulated as a body exercise in a group; with eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter. The concept of laughter yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. One gets the same psychological and physiological benefits.
