I think i'd rather have something to do like 'site visit' or anything they called a 'real job', then i'd pretty much obliged and won't bugger on complaining. And i would have enough energy left.

Get what i mean?

I'd like to do something that i fancy. I mean, i agree not all work post you'd apply beforehand matches with your ideal/dream work description. Surely you'll be involved with other stuffs outside of your job. I guess that's how 'real job' is, you know. You don't necessarily have to do your area of speciality. That's how it works it Brunei. When you have a Degree or Master on your desired course, and suddenly when you're looking for a job here, boom! your job doesn't really coincide with your course. Get it? Perhaps this also applies to other countries...

But i'm not really implying that our country is lacking of commitment especially the government, no. But rather something indifferent from other developed countries. Maybe it's because the government does not have a vacancy with regard to your course, and there is quite a hell of a lot of competition out there. Imagine 2,000 graduates each year, all competing for the same post. That quite explains why 1/4 of us are doing what they're not supposed to.

I wonder how our country would strive for better in the future; let it be economical, commitment, technology, political, education system and all sorts. One human being surely are not able to change the country, and it would take at least 15 years to get to where Singapore are right now. We've only started to be civilized in the year 1984. It took Brunei 26 years to Singapore's status 10 years ago (just presumption...). It would take the whole generation, my generation to alter and amend our ancestors' work, and be on par with other neighbouring countries.

So what can we do? Presuming that not all of young Bruneians share the same thought - we ought to migrate! HAHA if you want to gain a hell of a lot of experience, spend 5 years struggling to settle down (health insurance, cost of standard of living), but want to get skills you can't obtain here, then go for it. Lets say you're a specialist of something - diplomat...but you'd have to work for Brunei in order to get that job...hmm scrap that idea. Okay, take marine biologist, urban planner, software or hardware expert, chemical engineer, architect ---> mesti ada tu! and all sorts of expertise. Work someplace where there's huge advancement of technology, political views, science and all, spend 10 years there or more, seek and absorb all knowledge you can get from other experts. Then when you have sufficient knowledge or experience, go back to your homeland and try to make a change - help your country. Not only you're one hell of great expert, but you're helping your own homeland by lending your energy, knowledge and skills you've obtained from other developed countries.

Of course, talking is nothing compared to actions. It's all easy to say. But when placed in reality, oh maaaan, we all struggle like crap. That's where determination comes in.

So what's your plan for the future? Have i thought about mine? Umm... i can't quite say for sure. I do have plans, but it's hard to say if it's a solid one.

Out.
