Meet Gurpreet
Hey, dudes! I go by Gup since I was
given a long, hard to pronounce for most people name. Up for anything (except
dancing in public or going anywhere near cockroaches.. dem nasty little
critters), very expressive, my highs leave my spirit soaring and my lows are an
eyesore but I always try to live in the moment and seize the day. I call me a
flexible, free-spirited person while some people see the same thing and call me
‘cincai’. The difference in perceptions such as this fascinates me. Observe,
contemplate, and jump into action – basically how I live.
OK supposed to be "Where Are You Based" but..yeah, this happened. Okay, moving on! I'm stay-at-home Johorean who will be voyaging through the wilderness of
the PLUS Highway to move to the bright lights of Kuala Lumpur come September.
Soon I shall be a full-fledged Law student
battling assignments, tutorials and enriching my mind in my beloved University
Malaya. In addition to that, I’m working on getting lots of money to fund my
wanderlust. I would love to travel the world and expand my horizons while I’m
still an able bodied, independent physically and mentally 20-something year
old.
I have such diverse and varied fields of interest sometimes it makes little sense. I’m an avid reader
who loves all things Historical and issues that really get the gears in my
brain clunking and grinding, I write every now and then, and when the mood comes by I make an
attempt draw the wonderful images in my mind’s eye (it’s a series of hits and
misses, mostly). Questioning everything! I love looking at issues from various perspectives and tossing about ideas. Wandering aimlessly just to observe the sights and smells of
all that is around me is also something I love. Hiking, cycling, rock climbing duuude you name it, I'm there! But kinda out of shape now(hmm..round is a shape! :D) so don't laugh if you find me rolling on the ground gasping for air...
Random girl I met during one of the many how-to-take-your-UPSR exam
clinics I used to go for who I really liked coz I thought she was a cool person
and at that time I was a shy, reserved person so I was thankful to have someone
to talk to. She lured me away from my friends (weeell.. more like casual
acquaintances but heck, I was 12 and who likes going to these things alone?)
with the promise of food so grabbed lunch together at Friday’s coz the food
they gave us sucked and after laughing at so many random things, got offended
together when a dumbass waiter called us kiddos coz nothing brings people
together more effectively than laughter and a mutual so-called
“enemy”, I never saw her again and kindamaybe forgot about her until
guess who went EH *points finger in my face* on the first day of high school?
Hahaha Now we’re gonna be University mates too! Surprise, surprise!
I knew she existed about a day before we officially met in the Sixth
Form. Sounds like an arranged marriage... how stereotypically Indian lol Our
mums were friends as they’re both language teachers so for that reason alone
I’ll admit I was slightly apprehensive about the whole
hey-make-friends-with-my-friend’s-kid coz I thought we’d left primary school
like 6 years ago. C’mon, mum… please. But meet her I did and we clicked
immediately coz who can resist this fun lady? She’s one of those rare people
that everyone is immediately drawn to. Hey, there’s a reason I call her The
Charminator. Fortunately enough she was already a friend of Naomi’s so when the
introductions were made I have a vague recollection of “Oh, I actually already
know who you are coz our mums are friends” and me going “Ohhhh so you’re the
one!!”. Yeah, Shakespeare ain’t got nothing on this love story lol
I sometimes go out and do silly things deliberately because I know
no matter how mortified I am at that moment, I’ll look back and have a
lifetime’s supply of laughter by the time I’m old and wrinkly. I don’t have a
straight spine, cannot stand the smell of cigarette smoke (or any smoke for
that matter) and alcohol, obsessed MUSE and The Beatles fan, terrified of cockroaches, sometimes pretend to be a black woman named Teana. I hate having my
picture taken/taking my own picture. And I have an unhealthy obsession with the
United Kingdom. I talk too much so shush me if I do. I have a neon orange
slinky that is extremely hypnotizing.
Impulsive, expressive diva.
Stalking: made easy.
