Motivational Quotes

Follow Your Dreams

I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
W.B. Yeats

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
Henry David Thoreau

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.
T.E. Lawrence

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
Henry David Thoreau

The end of wisdom is to dream high enough not to lose the dream in the seeking of it.
William Faulkner

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
Patrick Henry

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.
Lanston Hughes

You cannot dream yourself into a character: you must hammer and forge yourself into one.
Henry D. Thoreau

Commitment leads to action. Action brings your dream closer.
Marcia Wieder

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
Henry David Thoreau

The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.
Hamilton Wright Mabie

The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.
Paul Valery

A skillful man reads his dreams for self-knowledge, yet not the details but the quality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our waking hours form the text of our lives, our dreams, the commentary.
Anonymous

Hope is the dream of the waking man.
French Proverb

To unpathed waters, undreamed shores.
William Shakespeare

It's Pictures Time!

Wahai kawan-kawan ku yang ku kasihi sekalian!

Terlebih dahulu saya meminta maaf di atas kelambatan saya meng-upload gambar-gambar rehearsal, konvo dan dinner konvo. Ini semua adalah kerana sikap saya yang mempunyai 5 huruf yang bermula dengan huruf "M" dan berakhir dengan huruf "S". Ayat tersebut "rhyme" dengan ayat KIPAS. Haha.

Anyways, sekiranya kamu sekalian sudah melihat gambar-gambar dari Sir Rajul or Jurin or mana-mana, saya memohon maaf sekiranya gambar-gambar saya tidak setaraf dengan gambar mereka. Biasalah, saya hanya photographer jalanan! Huahuahua! Dan untuk pengetahuan kawan-kawan sekalian, saya tidak meng-edit atau meng-filter gambar-gambar yang ada. Yatah udah tu gambar yang ku ada tu! Haha. So, if ada gambar yang belum ber-rotate, paham-paham saja lah ye? =) So, enjoy the pictures. Here's the link for:


REHEARSAL

Of course to all ITB graduates and especially our own BFB group on the recent convo. We Made It!!! All the hardwork's been paid off and a special congratulations to Nas on being top student for Banking group: you really deserve it and thank you (million thanks) for helping us out throughout the 2.5 years and specifically with our revisions during the exam (kedapatan last minit study lol). I hope everyone will keep in touch (we have this blog after all) and good luck to everyone whatever it is you guys are pursuing.

RE: Pipsology's Forex Leverage

Now I have too admit that we're not really expert in Forex whatmore Forex in Islam. Don't remember if we ever discussed it in class (unless of course I wasn't paying much attention lol). Anyways I looked it up online and did a brief research and here's some source that might help in answering your questions.

http://www.zaharuddin.net
http://www.islamonline.net/livefatwa/english/Browse.asp?hGuestID=Ta4O7M

Remember that there are specific conditions imposed in order to ascertain that a financial product is halal (no riba). Two primary conditions are 1)transactions needs to be on the spot 2)the value needs to be equivalent. As for forex leverage some argued that because the amount "controlled" does not really exists (since it can only be realized when profit is made) it might be constituted as gharar (uncertainty) and is thus not permissible (haram). Some form of forex leverage also uses derivatives (forwards, options, futures, etc.) and is thus is not permissible. Again I am not by any means an expert (or even remotely knowledgeable) therefore it is better to refer to professionals in this matter.

For Nas: If you're reading this, your comments (and thoughts) would be greatly appreciated.
For Max: Try asking Tasadaq when you get the opportunity okay?

MRS Pictures....For Real!

I know you guys might be expecting me to have lots and lots of pictures during the MRS. But unfortunately, I don't have that much. First, it's because I forgot to change the settings of my camera, therefore, some pictures are not able to be viewed. Sorry for that. Secondly, it's because some of the pictures are dark and I'm not good at editing pictures (to make it clearer or lighter)! Sorry again.

You guys can click here for the MRS Pictures. I'm only posting those pictures which features BFBians or our department. So, no performances pictures. Once again, sorry :)

P/S: Does anybody wanna have a look at the performances pictures? Or any other pictures that I have?....If yes, just message me.

You guys can try and have a look here and here for more pics. I hope the link works :)

MRS Pictures....

Macam inda biasa wah dapat online ani! Haha. Besides, I have to filter the pictures dulu. Kalau sekati-sekati saja post, ada tia gambar bida inda lawa, marah orang karang! Hehe. So, sabar² saja k?

*Taktik untuk suruh kamu rajin² check blog ani wah ni! Haha*

BIBD AT-TAMWIL Bhd recently received a visit from 15 Institute Technology Brunei students, who were led by the Islamic banking lecturer. The visit aimed to offer students a practical insight of the finance company's operations, products and services, at the same time allowing them to apply all the theories and knowledge gained from their lecturers. On hand to welcome the visitors was BIBD AT-TAMWIL Bhd General Manager Irwan bin Lamit. The day also saw the students hearing a briefing delivered by BIBD AT-TAMWIL Bhd Marketing & Public Relations Manager Roland Ti."

A short message to fellow BFB-ians Intake 21....

Event: Malam Rumun Sewajar
When: 29th March 2008
Where: Main Conference Hall, ICC
Time: I'm not sure. I know it's at night =)
Theme: Urban Classic

For those who might not know what the theme is all about, it's basically a "modern traditional fusion" - a combination of new/modern with old/traditional. They'll be performances, awards presentation (not sure what award that is), games and of course, FOOD! HEHE. So, make sure you cancel all your plans for that night, make yourself available and attend the event!

Hope to see all BFBians there!

Congratz

Congratulations to those who passed their resits.. You know who you are.. Good Luck with the future undertakings.. See you all soon k..
