A Hermit Story

All this while, i thought Brunei is a great place, peaceful, and an almost perfect habitat for me despite it’s ’shortage’ of shopping complex, concerts, celebrities, themeparks, and entertainment. Now only I realise that it’s not such a great place afterall. 

Minutes ago, I was browsing on the internet, looking for information about colleges and universities that might help in pursuing my studies next year. And half an hour later, or should i say ‘now’, i’m so damn frustated with the educational level in Brunei. Where’s the Minister of Education? Will you please kindly stand out and be a great savior to all of the students who are going to stick their arses in Brunei for the rest of their life like adding more courses available in UBD or do anything that helps promoting the education in the local area?

Type ‘foundation studies in brunei’  or ‘diploma programmes in brunei’ then you’ll know what i’m talking about. There’s only few ’college’ providing a higher level of studies in Brunei like Maktab Duli, UBD, IGS, Laksamana College, Cosmopolitan with courses like Business, A Levels, Accounting, Finance, Computer Studies, Business, A Levels, Accounting. Where’s the variety? Where’s the ‘creativity’? Where’s the Foundation In Art? Or maybe South Australian Matriculation? Is there any other foundation studies other than A Levels, A Levels and A Levels?

Now i understand why everyone is trying to squeeze their arses and get in Maktab Duli for A Levels. When there’s no second choice, you’ll hafta settle down with the only option u got. Ask MissAnne where she’s going after O Levels and she’ll say ‘Maktab Duli kua..’ then when u turn around and ask Mr.Bean, you’ll get ‘A Levels in MD eh?’ as the answer. Try asking Miss Cindy, Mr McD or MissEeeee, the answers should be the same. If there’s exception, then guess his or her answer shld be ‘i dno’ or maybe he or she might be another traitor escaping to Malaysia or Australia.

Malaysia? They have Curtin, Taylors, Sunway, USM, Monash, UCSI, LKW(LICT), KDU, KBU, IMU, Prime, IBS, Inti, AIMST, HELP, Swinburne, Nottingham, The One Academy, RIAM and the list goes on. Brunei? ISB, JIS, UBD, MD, and what else? Oh, and STPRI too, almost forgot bout it.

But still, Brunei, the well-known Abode of Peace, is the best place in the world or those taiwanese who said ‘Brunei is the richest country in the world’ everytime they got a chance to interview wuzun. That is, if your ic is in bright yellow colour. If it’s in green, you can choose to scram back to ur native country or work like a kerbau here.
