Samelan 2011

i will be going for samelan 2011 at klang. the trending phrase on twitter is #samelan2011 if you would like to read on what kids are saying and doing in prep for the big week.
initially i was undecided and then just when i decided not to go, i decided to go. so anyway i think i am pretty geared up and looking at the kids' shopping and packing tweets, they are excited. as they should be! the
Annual Gurmat Parchar Samelan 2011 starts Sunday, Dec 18th and will last a week, till christmas eve. this is an event many a child and adult alike looks forward to not only in malaysia, but also Singapore, thailand, indonesia and well.. other countries. on the full magnitude of this camp, will post some old articles. for now, ciao.

Fauja Singh JI is a great, big, INSPIRATION!!!

ugh. ramblings

my blog is so lame. i have really got to spruce things up. and i most probably will too! wait for it. haha.. anyway those of you reading must have realised the whole article sharing thingie a week or so ago. yeah, a bunch of us youths organised the smile day  here. and it was well received, seeing that we made the front page of a national newspaper. yah, that felt great.
also i have yet to write about graduation which was brilliant!
and now am in a really hyped state what with planning for Guru Nanak Dev JIs birthday celebrations coming up. as part of the naujawan group we figured we should come up with something fresh and something substantial. so the other night a bunch of us met up and brainstormed away. it was fab i tell you and at the end of it i felt so satisfied. some of the stuff we talked about had been on my mind for ages and was cool that the others loved em!
will post about those later. anyway its time to liase with the other people involved and then its all systems go.
besides that, there's a run as well (Chardikala Run) also by OMG (oh my guru) and the getaway for kids. thats gonna be fun and i m looking forward to spending time with the kids and getting a feel of being a facilitator in samelan again (hahaa).
then there's another idea that i wana run by the others. wonder how it will go, hmm will keep you all updated.

for now, feeling quite geared up for diwali - we havent really celebrated in a while - mostly to gurdwaras so this year thought of doing some fun stuff. hehe.
alright i wana talk to my baby bro now (he's a six footer, but still).
take care and love as always! :D

I AM BACKK! :D

I am Malaysian. Fully. And I love her! heck, my parents were born in Malaysia too. Then why the sense of attachment to India? The land were my Gurus tread once. The dirt lined streets, the roads and all its beauty. The land where my forefathers once worked in the fields, where they too lived once, just like us. :) happy independence day, India.


HAH! I know its been AGESSSS since I wrote. sorry folks. just one of those things. anyway, I am totally back now and I promise to write more often. (really, and I don’t mean every 3 months haha)

so what have I been up to?LOADS.

firstly, I finished school! yeah, completed my degree and came back home. then, there were sooo many activities to go for and fun to be had. So, I shall upload the pics and tell those stories later.

another major event was the Bayer Young Environmental Envoy 2011 competition that I took part in. it was a great journey and a superb learning experience. it also geared me up to continue the environmental experience at my uni and keep the spirit going!
