If I was born in early 1984, I would by now have spent almost all my entire life going to schools and colleges. If I have done well I would have gained my undergraduate degree or even completed a masters degree programme. I would have amassed a lot of knowledge, gained a lot of skills, seen/heard/learnt a lot of things. But most important of all I would be a lot wiser, learning from the mistakes made in life and learning from others as well. So as a 25 years old now the world would be my oyster.
Brunei will be celebrating its 25th National day this month. It is a major milestone. I am as much guilty as everyone to always reflect our proud past. Like the pictures shown here, sometimes in the 60's when the old airpot was there and our SOAS mosque was already standing proudly in the capital. It's always nostalgic to reflect our great past. One I would wish more nowadays is to show what would be the future - it is a good reflection of our aspirations and motivations.Wonder what were the aspirations of the people back then in 1984 when the country reached her independence. What would be the expectation of that baby born during those early formative years. I wonder.

Just dropping by to say that i was born in 1984 and looking at what you said, yeah its true learn from mistake, more wiser and educated
That's great. From the tone of your writing, you have achieved what you want and has made a difference in your life.
When I wrote the post, I was not only thinking of the people born then but those who were put in position and hopefully responsible enough to make meaningful changes and progress to the country. Twenty five years are not a short period. In that time a baby has grown into somebody who would start to enter the job market. Twenty five years for those people in position to create and developed job and economic opportunities.
yeah thats true on what you said, I achieved what i want already and since I am just starting work soon, its going to be a new beginning of my new chapter. wonder what its like 25 years later aye :)
