Muslim Day @ Canada's Wonderland!

Assalaamu Alaikum :D

Wow ... what an absolutely lovely day! It was Muslim Day at Canada's Wonderland ... as you may have most likely read from the title of this entry. It was a great day but the drizzling rain kind of ruined it :( I was using the park guide as my umbrella but the poor thing didn't last very long. I sat on a few rides, as much as I could. I just feel oh so sorry for the people who sit around me during the ride becuz I scream like there is no tomorrow! It's true ... and very bad. For instance, one of the rides I went on was called The Sledgehammer. I screamed like a crazy person and at the end when we were about to get off, this little girl openly asks, "who was screaming like a girl?!" haha My sister pointed at me and she was like "oh hehe" and then later started chanting "ohhh my ears, my ears!" haha Aww sowie little girl!

I would say, my most favourite part was when we entered the "Muslim Bazaar". I don't know why but I was not expecting that! Eventhough it was Muslim Day and obviously there would be stalls with clothing, hijabs and halal food. But we entered and I was just awestuck. Everywhere you looked, were hijabi's, niqabi's and just well dressed individuals masha'Allah! When you're coming from places with people who parade around with barely nothing covering them on their bodies (istaghfir'Allah, so bad on the eyes), it was refreshing to see people covered! Masha'Allah! The atmosphere just immediately changed. My sister and I agreed that it resembled the experience of when we would walk around in Medina shopping outside of the haram *happy sigh* There was an area for the men and women to pray their salaah, it was so nice to see. Everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves! I certainly was. Especially during the concert that was held. They started it off so beautifully with the Qur'anic recitation and performers from Turkey. Finally, the long awaited act by Raihan began. I was getting giddy teehehe They sounded incredible masha'Allah! It was a definite must-see.

Eventhough I went with family, I did run into many people that I recognized. It was so nice seeing them! And again, I saw an Islamican that I had recently met ... her username is "cricketgal" and she's visiting from London *faint* .... It was great meeting you again, hun! I had a cute encounter also, during the Raihan concert. A little girl who was sitting behind me tapped me on the shoulder. I had no idea who she was. But she was telling me that she had recognized me from some party a while ago. After a while of explaining, I finally understood which party she was talking about! I thought it was soo cute that she actually remembered me from there! Masha'Allah, she was a doll.

I've been working on a "hijab project" of mine this summer. Stitching pretty beads to the inner piece of my hijab. Well I wore one of them today and a lot of people seemed to like it a lot! Aww I felt special :D My sister says I should make more and sell them on eBay ... *looks off into the distance* Insha'Allah ... we'll see how it goes.

I'm sure some other crazy stuff happened today ... I'm too tired to think. I hope everyone out there is doing great! Take care and have a grrreat week!
