365 days in Dubai...It's my 1st year Anniversary working in UAE


I woke up quite late today…had my bath and prepared myself to the office. Today is my one year first anniversary working in Dubai….along the journey, there’s a lot of up and down which had been passed through by me….fortunately..I’m still surviving.. 

Being in extreme experimental design laboratory is a privilege for me….lots of knowledge and guidance I got from my Design Director: Hairul Nizar Tamaddun and also from Assistant Design Director: Emerrza Ahmad…they are a very talented and visionary architect….

In this post, I’m highlighting numbers of peoples that I do think giving colorful colours for my life since I’ve been joined this company in Dubai…
