Ummi wanted bbq ala Melayu and so we all gave her one. She even went to change into her baju kurung before eating 🥹 Abah said it was the best iftar ever
Sometime in March last year, Zack and I went to 🇨🇭 for a holiday and stayed with our cousin (she) who married a local. Her husband shared his dreams of owning a coffee farm in MY and was looking for a biz partner as his Asia counterpart. We supported his idea and wished him luck
My dad was very adamant on getting a mobile projector just so our monthly family tahlils are a little different than usual. We told him no need but he insisted. Tonight was his first sharing session, with slides and videos prepared by my brothers! ❤️
my late Ami (uncle in Arabic) would call me Princess every time I came to salam him as a child. As I grew older I got shy about it, and he said “Even when you are very old I would always call you Princess”
I will never hear it anymore.
Hi everyone, in these last 10 days, I humbly ask to please doakan I get to be a mom soon ❤️ Feel free to request whatever you want me to pray for you too. At least that increases the chances of us getting Laylatul Qadr

Zack got me a tripod since I told him I wanted to take content creating seriously (not sure how long this will last)
did a test run last night. Hats off to food/all content creators. Looks like a basic shot but ya Allah moving that thing around to get the right angle is shdbsh
Teaching my colleague Malay “relative terms”
Me: Pak Long is the first because its suLung
AA: So what’s the middle child?
Me: Pak Ngah for tengah. So can you guess what is Pak Su?
AA: A flower pot?
kat UIA PJ ada ta’aruf week. on the last day the abang faci scolded us cakap we all kena jaga muamalat (laki perempuan) and I overheard the person next to me whisper “weh kena bayar yuran Bank Muamalat ke”
Now that my dad is doing his diploma in Syariah and today was his exam, I pulled the same thing he did to me back in uni - “So Abah how was the paper tadi? 5 flat boleh?”
He looked at me like he was either going to burst out laughing or kill me i couldn’t tell 😂
A: If you don’t understand anything, just ask k? If you don’t ask, you won’t know
B: Okay. May I know about so and so?
A: Tu pun tak tau ke?
I will never understand this logic. Tak tanya salah, tanya pun salah
Always no. 1 ❤️ My ami introduced this tradition in the family where the newlyweds are the ones who get up from the pelamin to salam the parents rather than the other way around. I really love that.
“you’re seeking for their blessings, not the other way around”

After 4 days, we’re finally done Alhamdulillah. I played a very small part, doing most of what I could to help with the very little knowledge that I have. Praying that this takes off with more rezeki coming their way, insyaAllah 🤲🏻
found my old sekolah rendah buku catatan kecil. and then i found what i wrote 18 years ago. me and my brother
@LuqmanLSG
each wrote who our “idols” were at the time. Hmm him vs me
Slept at 4am last night finishing off a deck. My email this morning read:
“Thank you, Widad. Appreciate your late night hours. Hope you managed to get some rest.”
In my 2.5 years here, this was the first time I received an email like this. I hope he knows it makes a difference.
In just a year, the 4 of us found ourselves on our way to Greece opening up a booth, showcasing MYs coffee beans 🫘 (a very niche market) on a global platform at the World of Coffee, Athens - under the brand “Kebun Malaya”.
My friend the other day trying to tahan from bad mouthing other people: “URGHH THAT sTUp- NOPE NO I NEED ALLAH TO LIKE ME NOPE NOT GONNA SAY IT UrgHhhh!!! IM NOT GIVING MY PAHALA TO THEM”
She is the mood of a constant real struggle 😂
Operator: Your name please?
Me: Lina Widad, thats L-I-N-A W-I-D-A-D
Operator: Sorry what? Linawirda?
Me: D FOR DENMARK A FOR AUSTRALIA AND D FOR DENMARK. That’s 2 names yeah
Operator: Ok so your name is Lina Widad Lina Widad?
LORD HELP ME
Every year my uncle would host buka puasa with the family. This year’s no different but he said this time he invited an imam from Egypt to lead the prayers. So i was extra excited. I asked my dad if he’s going (he has a strict regime of going to the mosque)…
I have brothers who’d spend hours fixing my plugged sink, a fiancé who’d check if its drizzling and offers to get my car when it’s only 5m away, a non Muslim friend who’d wait for me to finish Maghrib after work just to make sure I don’t walk alone to my car from the office.
Told my brother to have some of the apple pies I made last night. Later I asked him “how was it?”
Fi: WELL IT WASNT MUCH OF A PIE
Me: Yelah, dalam puff pastry kan. Okay la, kira pie la tu
Fi: What pastry?
Me: Wait. Did you eat the fillings in the fridge?!
Fi: Yes
My heart always jumps when my mom calls me during odd hours but tonight I-
Ummi: Hi widad, what are you doing?
Me: Nothing mi, just resting. Is everything ok?
Ummi: Just wanted to tell you that I love you
Me: Ha? Nape ni mi??
Ummi: Actually can I have your cake in the fridge

I know my strengths, and I know my weaknesses. I’m not the brightest person in the room, but I leverage on my strength of never wanting to quit trying. But ya Allah its so hard when you need to work twice the effort because it takes you twice the amount of time to digest things
2022 is a year to be kinder to myself, learn how to say no, not give a hoots about what people think, overcome my fears, become a mom God willing, and keeping my circle small with the ones who matter ❤️
if you ever feel stupid just remember that I once got mad at my siblings for finishing my food in the fridge only to recall later that it was me who ate it
Sometimes you have to wait 14 years to make up for a regrettable choice. Finally got to catch KOC after missing their 2010 show with my person feat. work laptop❤️

‘s bday today. Warning: Long appreciation thread so you can mute this if you want.
You are not the same person I met 8 years ago. We’ve both come a long way since then. Alhamdulillah, Mama and Papa did an amazing job raising you for the person you have become.
Hosted a couple of surprise parties with friends the other day and when Zack came home, he said “tell me evvverything that happened!! Right from when I left the bday party”
Today we got excited together because our skincare stuff just arrived.
I married my girlfriend too 🤣
We could not have been more proud of our husbands. We were the only MY booth promoting our specialty coffee (one that captured attention and interest by many!). It might have been small in comparison to what others offered, but I would like to think we made our country proud
Me: Jom bukak business pizza same same
Z: Boleh. Kite ambik je order tapi tunggu jela bila kitorang rajin, baru buat
Me: Cannot do that. Tu tipu
Z: Tak, we don’t take money. Just order dulu
Me: Then what are we delivering
Z: Expectations
My heart breaks a little when I subtly find out about colleagues who don’t pray (i.e never see them go to the surau) Its like... you work so hard and put in so much effort and it feels so wasted without the barakah 💔
*scrolling looking at bags*
me: haih… i guess this is why my epf money is locked
CFO: hey! don’t even think about spending your epf money!
me: but i don’t even know if i’m going to live long enough..
CFO: and what if you do???
Junior: so she can use the bag longer
so many things going on right now and I couldn’t be happier for the people so dear to me that are moving forward and upwards with their lives. although our timelines are different, find a friend who believes in you to enjoy the ride with
I’m trying to watch what I eat lately & Ive found a new trick bila mkn nasi. Try this: JGN ambik nasi dulu! Put é sayur & lauk on your plate first. Once you’re done, baru senduk nasi. You’ll realise that the space for nasi kecik and you won’t put so much. And somehow its cukup!
