Today at 6 in the morning my cousins and I went to church here in Dubai. Yeah you read it right, I'm a Christian expat living in a Muslim country, and thanks to the government for allowing us to practice our faith and building us a house of prayer . Although the time was too early for me to wake up as I'm a night owl who usually sleeps between 2-3 am, but I didn't mind as I had thought that I could resume my sleep after the mass. I didn't have a choice either because my elder cousin chose that 6 am schedule, she liked such because the mass didn't have homily and we could go home early. When we went out it was very cold (middle east countries have winter season too), I wore a sweater jacket but it wasn't enough to protect myself from the weather.
After the mass, we decided to have a breakfast at McDonald's, I ordered my favorite 'big breakfast' meal and instead of juice as a drink I bought a hot coffee to ease my cold feeling.
However, I forgot that I need to sleep afterwards and drinking a cup of coffee with a lot of sugar just defeated my purpose. I only had 3 hours of sleep today, and my plan of going back to sleep after the mass failed miserably. Actually, I still feel wide awake as of this writing and I hope I can sleep early later for I have work this morning.
