Dubai Women's College Bazaar 2012 was held on 27th November 2012. I attended the bazaar this year and it was amazing I liked the way of the organizing the Bazaar.  It was divided into four themed areas:

1. Fashion & Design Village

2. Food, Fun & Fitness Village

3. Accessories Village

4. DWC Houses & IT Village

I was interested in Fashion & Design Village because many booths had a lot of creative ideas and hand made it with high quality.  Actually I am passionate on fashion and accessories and I love to wear it.  Hence, I bought many things such as shinny i phone cover, elegant blouse, colorful hair accessories comfortable flat slipper and funky bracelet.  Finally, I and my friends had a dinner in the cafe in the Bazaar.  Actually, I had a great and fabulous time in the Bazaar 2012.

On the Occasion of the 41st anniversary of the U.A.E National Day, I and my colleagues celebrated the National Day in our work place in Emirates NBD Bank.  We decorated our department with Emirates flag colorful and we prepared food and memorable gifts for the teams.  As Emirates NBD participated in this celebration through decorating the Head Office and setting the programme of planting the "Union Tree" of the initiative launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.

The initiative took place on 28th and 29th of November 2011 with full day of celebration.  I had a really great time during the celebration. J
