Xubuntu?

With only 128 Mb ram I would suggest Puppy or muppy or Damn Small Linux.
Or maybe a distro with XFCE as GUI

http://www.pclinuxos.com/ is equiped with nice gui features and is quick enough. Shall be able to full fill following requirement but this a lot depends on what model and make of laptop you are using:

"bluetooth,wireless,internet,network and good gui interface"

Thanks.

pclinuxos need min 256mb ram

see below
PCLinuxOS runs best on modern hardware.

* PC with 800 MHz or higher processor
* 256 MB of Ram (The more the better)
* Hard drive with 6 GB of free space
* SVGA or higher resolution and monitor
* CD-ROM or DVD drive, Keyboard & Mouse
* Compatible sound card and speakers or headphones
* Compatible 56 Kbps hardware modem, cable modem, or DSL modem
* Ethernet card for Internet/LAN connectivity

Not many. Puppy might be the current king of small footprint distros. Haiku-os would work except for the bluetooth.
Might see if xpud would be enough.
