Laughter At CEO Breakfast in Garibaldi, Bangsar (19th Sept 2012)

 How to get a group of  VIPs to laugh happily, early in the morning, before the serious business of listening to speakers?? WHY, with Laughter Yoga, of course.  I was engaged to do something different at a CEO Breakfast event in Garibaldi Restaurant, Bangsar.
All present did not expect to laugh so heartily and work out a little bit of sweat with LY.  By this event, I am happy to say that LY has the attention of  senior management of various corporations and how Laughter can help break the ice and promote teamwork within the company.  WONDERFUL!!!

  Hospice KL held a special Hari Raya lunch for the patients on 30th August, Thursday.  With more Malay patients attending the day care, it was an appropriate occasion to celebrate the spirit of Muhibbah together.  Many, volunteers and patients alike, were dressed for the occasion.  
After breakfast, I conducted a half hour Laughter Yoga session.  This was followed by ChiGong exercises.  Later volunteers held massage sessions and at the sametime, interacted with the patients, lending a sympathetic ear to their  daily concerns.

A harpist, Kate was invited to play soothing music for the patients to relax after lunch.   The day care patients had a wonderful time, as did all the volunteers on that day.
HoHoHaHaHa....

Thanks to 988, the event saw many people turning up to join in the laughter.  There were clowns,  superheroes and mascots to bring fun and a carnival-like atmosphere to Berjaya Times Square.  Simple 'Laugh With Me' placards were found everywhere, with gifts and prizes freely given with just a good hearty laugh.  There were competitions  with cash prizes given out to those who gave the best Loud and Hearty Laugh.

Thank You 988 for celebrating this wonderful FUN day.

NEW CLYLs in Brunei

17 New Laughter LEADERS FROM Brunei showing off their Certs

Having  great fun with Floor Exercise

Leelee, the person who helped made it all Happened in Brunei

Friday 20th April, 2012. - The day I flew to Brunei at the invitation of Leelee Kong to conduct training for LY Leaders.  I was met by Leelee, who droved all the way from Seria the oil town of Brunei. Funny how I knew it was her, the moment my eyes found her when I came out of the Arrival Hall.  Law of Attraction at work Again!!
It was an International group of wonderful ladies who came for the training, mostly wives of Expatriates working for the Oil Company, based in Brunei.  We also had 2 enthusiastic ladies who drove all the way from Miri and Lambang over the 2 days!!
Some wonderful feedback from the ladies on LY were recorded:
"The laughter Yoga session was great. It was wonderful to see that laughter was able to bring people from different cultures and backgrounds together.

This is indeed the hallmark of being a child. As a child, we make friends and laugh easily. This brings us happiness, health and greater efficiency in our work." -Dr. Loh

"....giving me a new set of tools to share with others as well as a sense of fun, an awareness of the people in your life and how much you laugh/don't laugh with them, and the skills I have now to change that. And a sense of achievement for doing something challenging." - Sarah

I must record my thanks and appreciation to Leelee who worked tirelessly to get the group, as well as arranging the venue and my accommodation.   It is only through her tremendous effort that we can spread Laughter to Brunei. VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD..YEAH!!!!
