That niggling feeling...

I've been having that urge - most lazy bloggers like myself will now it, where you've been MIA for so long and suddenly a thunderous waterfall of words comes crashing down looking to exit somehow somewhere with as much damage as possible.
I've been able to contain that urge for a while now, but now feel I should give some heed to the cerebral regions and let it run its course - better out of the system than in, wise people will say.

Where to begin?!
We'll begin at the beginning...we'll talk about Dad...

YES WE CAN!

I found this on the web and had to put it up somewhere!
We're suddenly finding ourselves being incredibly patriotic...to our 'mother' Kenya. And Obama is all of a sudden 'our son'!
There is even a national holiday declared on 6th Nov to celebrate our son's victory!
(makes me wonder - lest he have lost, would rioting have broken out in mother Kenya?!)
All I have to say is:
NDIYO TUNAWEZA!

We're back!

Finally returned from our 6 month adventure! Got tons of stories and a ridiculously large number of photos! All posted on the travel blog.

Hope all is well in blogland! :O)

New blog new blog new blog

Most of you will know by now that Gurcharan and I are going travelling for 6 months to SE Asia!

Oh yes we are!!! (I have to say that to convince myself - seems like a dream!) :o)

So, I will be posting on the new blog from now - detailing my Eastern experiences (complete with loadsa pictures!) with the lovely hubby who has been soooo great at sorting this whole thing out! ;o)

Buzzie: Look Flaps, first I say "what we going to do?" then you say "I don't know, what'cha
wanna do?" then I say "what we going to do" then you say what'cha wanna do" let's do something.

Flaps: Ok. What'cha wanna do?

New Blog on the Block!

http://sikhtalk.blogspot.com

A swashbuckling light-hearted look at the laughable gripes surrounding the new generation of Sikhs in Britain.

Hilarious, witty with no lack of charm and charisma.

Sure to be a huge hit in the blog sphere!

New look

I think I quite like this - its fresh, its zingy, it makes me feel like drinking a tall glass of cool lemonade!

Hmmmnnn......makes the pics look nicer.

Gurcharan found this unusually coloured ladybird on his car - he does not like any ladies or birds near his car!

But the fun and games are over, its back to being...normal (?!) ;o)

Sukhmani Sahib Paath, Neville Road Gurdwara

Neville Road Gurdwara (the one off Green Street) is now holding the 13 Sukhmani Sahib Prayers.
These are done non-stop for 13 days - thirteen beautiful ladies clad in the purest of white do the prayers so sweetly, you have to try to hold back the tears as its so overwhelmingly beautiful.

Please note it is in the old gurwara - not the new one where it was last year.

Bhog is on 1st July at 8am.

Do make an effort to attend - you will honestly be moved by the spiritual atmosphere.

Thats just wierd!

To zap or not to zap...

...the current question that is

So, the latest hot topic at work is...whether I should get some obscure lazer magic wand thingy pointed at my eyes which miraculously makes me see again! Hallelujah!

All are dead against, whereas I...in my infinite wisdom/utter stupidity (pick one)...am so over the 'ooohh i look so sophisticated in me glasses' phase

To make things that little bit more interesting (yes folks, never a dull moment in the land of Preet) - I will probably run off to some obscure third world country (Thailand?!) where such obscure magic laser wand seems to be in existence

At mention of this my lovely and supportive colleagues at work awarded me the 'even more of an idiot than we thought' badge

I would love to know what my oh so lovely and supportive friends in the blog world think of this - please feel free to use such phrases as 'are you insane woman?' (which by the way is subject to discussion)

Your opinions are much appreciated! Thank you! ;o)

LUSH party!!!

All you dirty smelly people out there (eee easy I'm only kiddin - I know people who wast...er...use their time reading my pointless rubbish posts dont smell. Besides, all smelly people are too busy terrorising Jatlee in his shoe shop) Go go sweaty summer days! MUAAHHAAHHAA!


Take note:
THURSDAY 21st June 2007
Carnaby Street branch.

Lush Party with a bollywood theme!

I mean WOOOHOOOO or wot???!!!

Im thinkin - im Asian right - its a bollywood party right - oh well then this automatically qualifies me for atleast a free bunch of goodies right right right!??!!

Oooo it doesn't stop there boys and girls - if I gym it every day starting today - refuse to shower - then go for a great big 'ol Indian lunch just before the party.......surely that will SUBMIT em into giving me a great big bunch of free goodies!

Or there's always my mind control powers......

Anyhoo - the idea is to bag as many free goodies as poss to add to your Lush collection, in the process try to find out who the manager is and where they live......this will come handy for when future need for free Lush stuff arises. (A separate post on 'how to terrorise your local LUSH manager into giving you free Lush goodies' will follow shortly - watch this space, as they say)

In the mean time, im open to any more ideas on how to dupe the lovely people over at "The World's Bestest Store Ever....EVER" aka Lush into promoting a 'anyone who goes by the name Preet gets anything they want....for FREE!!!" scheme.

Thanks - i'll see you all next Friday - I'll be the one smelling like a goddess - a goddess that didnt spend a penny to smell like so. Well, that's if my plans work, now if you'll excuse me I have some garlic that needs rubbing into the middle bit of my toes.

Wizzz Kid!

ehe....who put a flikr badge on the side bar of her blog page eh eh eh??!!!

Thaz rite...me me me! ;o)

ANd you know what.......I did it ALL by myself!!!

Not just a pretty face you know! ;o)
