微故事: 少睡的快樂女人 (東加豆) 你今天笑了嗎？ 凌晨四點，亞亭對著鏡子問。彷彿在問你、問我、問她自己。 亞亭有家庭、有孩子、有計劃，還有兩本書在等她寫。她每天只睡三個半小時，卻像一顆不用充電的燈泡，別人眼裡的她，從不疲倦，總是帶著光芒與熱情。 她有一項心得：閉上眼，吸氣四秒，呼氣八秒，像一隻在打坐的青蛙。三個半小時的睡眠，對她來說不…

Challenge Game! Laughter Yoga Very Fun! 2026 In Different Mother Tongues. Challenge Game! Laughter Yoga Very Fun! 2026 In Different Mother Tongues. Since joining Laughter Yoga, I ve met friends from all over the world. Every time I see different faces and hear different accents on Zoom, I find it really interesting. Over time, I became curious about everyone s mother languages. So this activity came to mind — I wanted to hear everyone say a simple self-introduction in their own most familiar language. Just ten seconds, but each video reminded me that although our languages may be different, our laughter and connection are the same. Big hugs and thank you to everyone who joined the fun (listed by order of arrival) Dr. Aliki, Ali, Meera, Kamal, Neila, Farida, Nizar, Renu, Nicole, Leslee, Jhon, Shilpi, Martha, Kalai, LeeJean, Swathy, Maria…

Micro-story: International Riso a Gosto Festival 2026 (by Tonkabean) Inside a Central office elevator, the air feels like frozen meat—cold and stiff. Ah Chan stares at the flashing floor numbers. Surrounding him are dark grey suits. Every mouth seems calculated, curved at a precise, mechanical angle. In this city, facial expressions are assets; they must not be wasted. His phone vibrates. It’s an international email: Invitation to the International Riso a Gosto Festival 2026”—Record a 10 to 20-second laughing video to spread joy to the world. Why are there so many Laughter Yoga messages lately? Ah Chan mutters to himself. He can t even remember what he liked or what forms he filled out. Ah Chan scoffs in his mind. Ten seconds? In a city where hundreds of thousands of dollars are made every second…

Micro-story: One Laugh is All It Takes to Relax (by Tonkabean) Uncle Ping saw a news headline today: (Three Seniors, One Fire Extinguisher, One Dead). The news reported that a 56-year-old man was smoking at a gas station. A staff member tried to stop him, leading to an argument that quickly turned physical. The 62-year-old staff member grabbed a fire extinguisher and sprayed it wildly. The 64-year-old manager stepped in to stop them, only to be struck with great force by the snatched extinguisher. He fell unconscious instantly. A witness remarked, He only hit him once... just once. Uncle Ping shook his head and sighed, One hit is all it takes to die. People these days have such short fuses. Suddenly, a wave of worry washed over him. He had just had a huge fight…
