What I Did At Penyabong Beach

On Wednesday, Grandad came to pick us up from home to go to Johor Bahru orphanage because one of daddy's biking friend organized a trip to Penyabong beach with a group orphans. On the car, it was a tight squeeze because daddy also came.

When we reached the orphanage, the kids were already lining up to go into the bus. We talked with the pastor before we went into the bus. He is the one who takes care of the children in the orphanage.

On the way to Penyabong, some of Daddy's friends were playing and singing some Christian songs. After a while, I slept so I didn't know much of what was happening around me.

When we reached the beach, all the kids were eager to play including me. But we all had to eat our lunch first. LOL!!!

After we finished eating, we started our fun. We took out our sand play toys and shared it with the other children. Some children dug a big pit in the sand and fill it with water. A few children helped to carry sea water using a big plastic bag we found on the beach. I helped too. We also buried our friends in the sand. I had a fun time burying one boy.

We played in the water. I played water polo with Bailey and another boy.


At first I played soccer with a few other boys. After that, almost all the children joined in. My team lost because many of the good players in my team quited half way through.

We played some interesting group games. We played a few types of game like master mine we played it by drawing squares on the sand. One group has a clip board with a paper of the same number of squares. They use a magnet to plant bombs in certain squares. The people from the other group will not know where the bombs are. They will try to get to the end without stepping on any bombs.



We also caught some crabs nearing the end of the day.




After that we went to bathe then walked on the sand bars.

The Chartres Cathedral

This is the Chartres Cathedral. It is in France near Paris and is built in 1220 AD. It's a church honoring a saint. The first Chartres was burnt down. It was built another time. After that a lightning strike made another fire and the Chartres Cathedral was damaged. The church had a special tunic. People believed that the tunic was worn by Mary, Jesus' mother. Many people that worship Mary go to the Chartres Cathedral. During the second fire, some people saved the tunic. The Chartres was quickly rebuilt. The Chartres Cathedral was famous for it's flying buttresses and stained-glass windows. The picture on top is a paper model of the Chartres Cathedral I made with Bailey's help.

These are the other paper models from the same book. The book is called Mouse House. The models in the book are supposed to be houses for the computer mouse. I got this book from Aunty Minna as a Christmas present.

This is the Parthenon.



This is the White House.



This is the Golden Pavilion.



This is the Taj mahal.
