Secondly, there are only ten more days till Eid. Can you believe it?? TEN. MORE. DAYS. Sadly, I'm at that age where time is flying by so unbelievably fast and I keep saying "time is flying by so fast! I can't believe it!" to myself. Almost the end of the year. Almost time to graduate. Almost my birthday. Ack. I'm typing about myself as if this blog is about me - LOL.
So. If you aren't Capetonian and you haven't been here recently, you might not understand this post. Like I care. EVERYBODY in Cape Town will know what I mean though. Well, all Muslims in Cape Town will know what I mean. Capetonian Muslims are bandwagon jumpers. Oh, someone you know started surfing? I'll start surfing! Everyone I know should start surfing! Whoa, what are these pretty little cookies you're eating? They're so pretty! They're called macaroons*? So cute! Let me take pictures! Everyone I know should love macaroons now! Oh, your favourite colour is burgundy? I love burgundy! I'll dye my
etc.
Yeah. On Eid, 90% of the Mozlems will be dressed similar. This is a problem (these days) because dear Capetonian Muslims are getting in on the hipsterrrr craze. Which means you absolutely cannot look or be like anyone else. Don't be mainstream, bro. I decided to be kind and made a little graphic to guide your retail choices.
Best way not to be mainstream? Wear an abaya/thawb. No pressure, easy and not as expensive.
Finally, I hope all y'all Muslims had a wonderful, fulfilling Ramadaan 2012 and that your Eid will be delightful. Peace, love and light :)
