Tattoo is Flaking and Under-staffed
Sigh, *The Ugly Stage*, but it's not the worst part. After the "Ugly Stage", the tattoo will become irresistably itchy!!!! So slap it you may say? Doesn't work for me. It only makes the feeling worse!!!! Well thats not going to happen for about another week or so..
By the way, did I tell you that we're UNDERSTAFFED at Panago!? I wish there was someone the store can hire. I mean I'm working a 2.5 Person job here. Not fair right?
Anyways, keep you posted.

Tattoo Update (Stage 2)
Woo hoo. The black shading is all done. Man, if you can avoid the tip of your shoulder then please avoid it. Lol. That was the most painful part of the tattoo. The other parts of the arm does not hurt as much.
If you're thinking of getting a tattoo, I totally recommend Geoff Stewart at Off Whyte Tattoos (#3, 10015 – Whyte Av.)
My Tattoo as of October 19, 2010
*The 2 red marks are to test if I have the "red pigment" allergy. LOL. Gee thanks Geoff.

Synopsis: Severely hit by the financial turmoil in Hong Kong, TAI KU-TUNG's (Ha Yu) restaurant is running short of capital while YIP MO-SING (Hui Shiu Hung) is interested in acquiring the restaurant's location. He decides to invest in it, ignorant of the restaurant's financial situation. With the restaurant's problem temporarily solved, TUNG concentrates on working out new dishes and ideas for the restaurant. He discovers TSUI HEI-HEI (Sheung Tin Ngor), a novice cook with a signature egg fried rice recipe. She even wins the appreciation of the Michelin food critic experts. As a result, TUNG treats her extremely well. One day, a bank representative, LEI YUNG-CHI (Ng Wing Mei) pops into the restaurant and claims that HEI has a debt with the bank. She picks a fight with CHI in a heated argument. In the fight, HEI is injured and loses her memory. For fear of losing the restaurant's reputation, TUNG decides to put on a show and pretends to be HEI's elder brother while SING acts as her husband. Cello teacher YIP TSIK-LEUNG (Sammul Chan) plays HEI's son and his girlfriend, TAI YING-LEI (Natalie Tong) is assigned the role of HEI's cousin. In the meantime, YUNG is fired from the bank but now claims that she is a shareholder and plans to reform the entire restaurant. Now all three owners want to make decisions but all three have different ideas. A triangular power struggle is developed in the process.
