Sketch No. 108 (Visual Note taking)

"Yes, I did this sketch during live parents orientation, and yes...right now...I almost done" this

 was my reply to one of facilitator Sister Madz. And she quickly took a snap & requested to borrow my sketch to show to her colleagues.

And one of her friends shouted..."hmmm I know this guy he drew this...it's Fullcircle!".Well that guy is my close friend Bro. Allen who knows me well.

This event was organized by CFC Couples for Christ Dubai for our children who went for youth camp. And after Parents Orientation given by Bro. Edward Yuson we attended our children's...some kind of graduation rites (you know that stuffs...singing, dancing and afterwards crying...).

I'm happy that day as I chat again to my old friends like Rocky & Pia Parroco, Allen & Del Cabugon and others ( Sorry...I can't remember their names).

I gave the original sketch to Bro. Edward Yuson as a gift.

sketchmylife no. 0062

After my Saturday activities and before going home.
I just park my car at mosque vicinity and start to sketch inside my car...yes inside my car 'coz until now Dubai weather still humid...its 35° hot outside. After few minutes, I took a photo of the mosque and went to community store for some snacks.

I ask the Irani store owner about Mosque name and as usual they don't know the name of the mosque but before I leave he called me and told me that the name of the mosque is "Ummo Yaya Masjid"
??? and I told him if he is sure about the name 'coz I will write it on my blog and he say..."hmmm, not so sure, better to go inside the mosque and read the name tag"...huh...???

I went inside the mosque and ask the Natoor (watch man) what is the name of the mosque. And even the Natoor not sure about the mosque name. Then...a community cleaner approached me and told me that the name of the mosque is Al Bara Bini Araf Masjid....now this is for sure.

I went back to store and ask the owner " how many years you are here in community mosque" and quickly answered 5 years..! Hmmm... did you know that the name of the mosque is Al Bara Bini Araf Masjid... he smile and shouted that " Now I know..!"
