Drake "Sparrow" Leong


Wanted to write about this for a long time, got a push from Dory and now I'm writing this.

Right after SPM, my lil bro asked us, which career gives the best pay cheque. We listed a few such as pilot, businessman, anything to do with O&G, and navigator. Those choices was given due to his moderate results.

To me, he's a bright kid, its just that during his SPM, he was very much into online gaming such as Ragnarok Online, O2jam, Maple, Dota, etc etc. His result was 1A and the rest are all Bs. Not fantastic, but not bad either.



Then my elder bro saw an advertisment about scholarship for navigator. He went for it, after all the long and demanding screening and such, he got it, only 2 chinese got it.

Many would ask, he's a navy? No he's not in the navy, he's trained to handle LNG Merchant Ships. H'e sponsored by American Eagle Tanker(AET) to study at ALAM.



ALAM's student consist of 50% Malaysians and 50% forreigners.



His salary? Let me put it this way, if he decides to stay with this company when he's a captain, one month of his salary would be equivalent to 2 year's salary for a fresh graduate engineer. If he decides to join BP or OOCL, the figure would double............ man, why did I choose Electrical Engineering.


Now, for all those who plans to tackle him
