Ask @lubnabelwael
What is your biggest turn-off?
Pretentiousness.
You guys punya routine zikir/selawat mcm mana? Mind to share?
Zikir - yang baik, baca SubhanAllahiwabihamdihi 100x pagi and 100x petang. Boleh baca lepas bangun tidur and sementara tunggu air panas. Lepastu one more time sebelum tidur. Kalau susah nak buat rutin, boleh baca setiap kali kita ada masa luang, eg masa tengah driving, stuck in traffic jam, tunggu orang, etc.
Selawat - takde rutin spesifik, just banyakkan baca on Fridays.

Best pick up line you've heard?
Him: So when are we going to meet?
Her: I'm sorry - busy girl and all that, you know. Social plans never come through. How's the new job?
Him: I'll be heading a few projects, overseeing some construction work.
Her: Oh wow, that's great! Hey incidentally enough, I'm in the construction field too. So if you ever get yourself into a legal fix, you know who to turn to...
Him: So is that how I'm ever going to be able to meet you? Ok fine, I'll make sure first day on the job I'll screw something up, if that's what it takes.
