NOOR Bank Metro Station
Dubai, UAE
15 December 2019

I was dropped by my daughter at metro station.
I will be going to Ras Al Khaimah (one of seven emirates of UAE) for factory visit.

I did a quick sketch on people waiting for their ride beside the train station, almost 15 minutes I waited for my ride and my ink sketch was already done.

I am using fountain pen with calli ink, I rendered after my inspection.

FRIDAY MASS Sketch 2/52

Sketch No.65/365-2020

St.Mary's Catholic Church Dubai
10 January 2020

Today I was hesitant to attend this mass on 2 reasons.

1. Afraid missile attack from Iran.
This was 2 days ago's news on CNN that Iran targeted UAE (particularly Dubai). Good thing Dubai news says this is a fake news.
2. Contineous raining since last night here in Dubai.

Anyways, I woke up 6am and quikly prepare myself and wake up Annie.

At church we started on Angelus and afterwards the mass started.
Homily today..."When you're being baptized, how do you prepare yourself for a change?"

Still raining outside when the mass ended. 

Our friday breakfast at Max's restaurant in Bur Dubai.

The quick sketch was done before the mass and after holy communion.
