A New Alcoholic Discovery

I am normally not an alcohol fan as alcohol makes me tipsy very easily and somewhat switches on my "Laughing Button"

When that laughing button is switched on, I would say: "Im Unstoppable"

Hysterical Laughter is a very high possibility.

And of course, I dislike the taste of alcohol too. Except for selected beers and wines.

So, when I discovered the yumminess of Korean rice wine, I fell in love with it. IMMEDIATELY!!!

It is so easy to drink, tastes like ricey malt and has many interesting flavours! It also reminds me of yoghurt as it has a slight sour tang to it.

So one day, my friend and I went to this korean place where they had an opening promotion for their rice wines at: $10 a bottle (750ml) and we drank ourselves silly.

Or rather, I drank myself silly. Cos it just tasted soooo GOOD

Until.........................

I puked the raspberry flavour yoghurt rice wine and the korean pancake out. -.-

WOOHOOO what a waste...

So I was raving to my friend and she recommended me a brand sold at NTUC called: Makkoli

The original name for the Korean traditional Rice wine is called Makgeolli
Somewhat the same.

She even mentioned that it has health benefits??!!

I tried to find it in normal NTUCs but I couldnt until I went to the Scotts NTUC special and saw them!!!

The label wrote 'Korean rice beer'

It IS SUPPOSED TO BE WINE. Hmmmmmm
I wasn't sure if it were the ones I love but I got 2 bottles anyway as it's soooo hard to get them.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were!!! Im sooo going to start stocking them up!!!

BECAUSE THIS SHIT INDEED DOES HAVE HEALTH BENEFITS!!!!!

The highlights: It helps in digestion and SLOWS DOWN AGING

Not forgetting that it's Cheap too, just $5.50 a bottle

Oh.My.God

Awesome-ness!

Now Life has a whole N.E.W meaning to live! (At least for me)

Imagine how much we can save on botox and surgical procedures :)

How people will always remark, " Wow you so TOTALLY Don't look your age! You look GREAT" :)

I WILL TAKE YOU DOWN
Im watching you

Make love, not war xoxo

ABOUT ME

I work with a team of fellow artists sometimes, which allows us to better ourselves and also work as a group to deliver the best services to you all out there.

Previously graduated with a Diploma in Optometry, I realized that being an optometrist is not what I would be happy working in for the long term. So I decided to pursue the unknown in the artistic industry, which is what I've always been fascinated in since young.

I figured: You only live once, why waste it?

So, after graduating with a hair diploma course from Kimage, I realized styling is what I love most and decided to focus more on getting experience in this sector which unfortunately was not taught in-depth during my time in hair school.

I strongly think that hair should also really go with makeup for a lady to look ‘complete' and that beauty IS the whole package!!

So, I started to read up on lots of information on makeup and went hands-on on my own face and whoever I can get for practice!

Armed with self-taught makeup skills, a hair diploma, and MOST importantly a very determined and passionate heart, I took a huge leap of faith out into a new career path to get more involved in the industry.

I proudly say my forte is my versatility in my style for (with an added speciality on asian faces) and is often engaged for brides styling, fashion and commercial shoots/print ads, corporate functions and beauty workshops, personal makeovers and collaboration with fashion designers, photographers and videographers. (Pretty much anything you can think of)

Being able to do what I love and good at, often keeps me in an uplifted, jovial and cheeky demeanor, making people feel at ease around me very easily.

Currently striving to better my skills with experience and looking to expand my expertise in related hair and makeup projects.

I am proud to declare that I am Cozycot’s 100 most inspiring women for two consecutive years 2011/2012 and want to thank all the people who have supported me so far!

"It is ok to be mad, a little madder, or as mad as u can be.

Your parents would still have loved u.

But afraid of hurting them, u would have paid the price of ur dream.

Some people build exaggerated high defences against the outside world; against new people, different experiences and leave their inner world stripped bare.

And that is why, we become embittered people, lacking the will to live or die.

The Embittered, find heroes and madmen fascinating. In the end, both would die. (Heroes offer their lives in the name of a cause whereas madmen would commit suicide.)

But Because they forge ahead regardless of what other people say.

It 's only, at this moment, the embittered person would have the energy to climb up his defensive walls and peer over at the world outside, but then his hands and feet would grow tired and he would return to daily life..........

Yes I wanna be mad and as mad as I can be."

Until we meet,
Gerra
