February News
DO you know why many Muslim women wear the hijab or head scarf also known as poncho? Do you need some inspiration to wear the hijab full time? Or do you need ideas to motivate someone to wear the hijab?
World Hijab Day 2024
To commemorate World Hijab Day 2024 on February 1st, we released a new episode on the ASK Trio About Wellness podcast entitled, World Hijab Day 2024. The topic on the significance of hijab for Muslim women was discussed effectively with a book discussion on “Hijab: Everyday Stories of Muslim Women from Singapore and Beyond” edited and published by Hidayah Amin of Helang Books, Singapore.

Fun facts
The world of podcasting is often fun and exciting! Any secrets behind the scenes? Of course! Here are some fun facts we discovered about our special guests, Hidayah Amin, editor/publisher of Helang Books (Singapore) and Malaysian university lecturer, Nadia Rose Noordin:
Hidayah Amin can be truly amusing and hilarious! As she was sharing some fun facts about herself, we found her somewhat different from her “serious and no nonsense” public persona. From her previous appearance on the show to her most recent appearance, what we love most is her laughter! Absolutely genuine and contagious!
For one of the 23 writers of the book, “Hijab: Everyday Stories of Muslim Women from Singapore and Beyond”, Nadia Rose Noordin, this episode was her first special guest appearance on the show. She exudes a friendly, relaxed and composed demeanor. What do we love most about Nadia? Her passion and crazy obsession for traditional Malay batik dress! She has more than a month’s supply to wear a different batik outfit each day of the month. She doesn’t need to repeat any outfit every month. Wow!
While Team ASKtrioWello was recording and later editing this episode, our celebrity kitty, ParkerDin, did a spot check on us at our mini studio. Suddenly….kaboom! Hey, any guesses as to what did you think happen? The loud noise that ensued was because ParkerDin had knocked down our soundproofing board! Oh Kitty! Luckily, it wasn’t damaged and most importantly, ParkerDin did not knock down the microphones or else…. Phew! What a relief!
Who knocked down the soundproofing board? Hint: Meow!
These behind the scene happenings are the real secret sauce that keeps us going in our podcasting journey!
