“I’m going to study a degree in Geography, Environment and Development. I think there are still some misconceptions about studying Geography and Environment as a degree. People kept assuming it’s just about weather and clouds.
I’ve worked hard for my A-Levels. It was fulfilling. But A-Levels in Brunei is crazy. I studied psychology, sociology, and geography. There were breakdowns every now and then at the time. I think people who study Geography and Environment are much needed for the army.
But people don’t really know much about geography. We study farming, how society works and development planning. And I always say, “Yeah, we do have more geography studies that focus on development and stuff”.
People keep asking me, “You study about the weather, don’t you?” And I was like, “No, there’s more to it than the weather”.
Kids when they are young, they have different dreams of what they want to be when they grow up. Some want to become a scientist or police officer. As for my ambition, I want to join the army as a geologist in the Engineering Corps. The ambition stayed with me until now. I’m grateful my parents were supportive of it. They didn’t mind it.”
