Peanut's hands and feet sculpture

A month plus ago, we brought Peanut to have her hands and feet to be casted into sculptures. We feel that this is going to be a great keepsake for us. After all, she's at this age only once and babies hands and feet are especially cute at this age and we want to have something to remember by forever.

So we made an appointment with Melissa, the lady who's going to do the sculptures, and went to her home on a Saturday afternoon. She promises us that it's only gonna take 10 minutes, and it's going to be very quick and painless (sounds like the Pedaetrician when she's about to give Peanut her shots). Once we arrived, we waited for a bit while she started making a pot of pink paste.

Waiting to be "casted"

hands first

Melissa started off with Peanut's hands first. Basically, she wrapped a glob of pink paste around her hands and waited for a few seconds before removing it gently. Ditto to her feet as well. I can't remember but she did either the hands or feet twice as standard procedure, just in case the first moulds cannot make it. *pats Melissa's back for good risk management strategy*

feet next!

Once it's done, we chose the frames, the color of the scupltures (either gold or silver), what kind of inscription do we want (we chose to put her name, birth date and her current age) the background color to mount the sculptures, paid the deposit and we're done!!!! Easy peasy! And Melissa was also very easy to work with. She was very gentle with Peanut so she never cried at all. In fact she was quite happy.

*Proof*

We had to wait for a month plus for the whole thing; presumably to wait for the casts to dry properly, to get it colored and to have it mounted and framed. So we finally got it today.

Jeng jeng jeng!!!!


*Satisfied!!!!*

You know you are wrapped around...

Peanut's little finger when:

• You changed your Astro package to include her cartoon channels.
  
• You wake up at 2am, 3am, 4am, 5am without complaining
  
• she regurgitates up her milk all over your clothes, her clothes, the newly changed bedsheets and you never once flinched or get mad.
  
• she kicks you in the face when she sleeps and you never complain about the pain
  
• you go out shopping all day and you only bought stuff for her and nothing for yourself and yet you still feel satisfied and happy
  
• she does the number 2 and has poo all over her clothes and yet you still console yourself by saying "at least it doesn't smell so bad"
• it's 5:30am and you can still catch some snooze before you get ready for work but you choose to play and sing to her instead.
  
• you brush your teeth immediately after eating petai so that she won't smell it on your breath when you kiss her
• you sing nursery rhymes out loud to her despite knowing your singing is not so good and that the people around you might be snickering at your lousy vocals. And you don't give a damn.
• she screams and laughs so loud you think you're going deaf but all you can think off is "maybe she can become Taurus's future karaoke kaki".
  
• you drink coffee round the clock just to stay awake and be more alert when she wakes up in the middle of the night.
  
• you look forward to go home after work everyday just so you can bathe her and spend some time alone together.
  
• she gives out a loud burp and you tell everyone to excuse her for burping like a man.
  

She is playing me real good. oh yeah.
