Sorry guys !! i was here and watching u all but didnt want to tell u guys
till i get my result.... u guyz will be feeling strange that why i didnt got
my result till now as my lab date was on 30th April.

wow !!! that is a looooooong story and first time in Cisco history (as the
CCIE program Manager told me).
Let me try to explain in simmmmmple words.

I was there in Singapore on 28th of April. I went to Capital Tower where the
exam was. I confirmed my schedule from Jeffery Zhang (procotor at singapore)
for 30th April and he was positive and told me to come before 9:00am. I was
very happy that day that i will finally will put all that i have learnt and
practice 2morrow.

I arrived at the lab and Jeffery Zhang told that "MAMOOR YOUR PROFILE IS
DELETED" ...... i was feeling that there is nothing below my feets and
everything on my head have colapsed. As he had already confirmed me that
seat so he offered me to be sitted to give the exam. I was feeling strange
that how they can score as my profile is deleted. It was looking like i am
sitting in the exam to be FAILED.....

Anyhow he give me a rack with the lab and i was forcing myself to solve it
but all my mind was on the DELETED PROFILE (how they gonna mark me). After
an hour he then try to explain me how was my profile deleted but i was not
able to understand what he was saying as i was in a state of SHOCK.

Some how i mange to complete the lab (but not review) but there was many
gaps i had to fill with and the time was UP. I was really dishearted but
Procotor Jeffery Zhang try to explain every thing as he was looking like my
friend. He advice me to contact higher authorities to solve this issue as
this was the Cisco mistake and they will definitely rectify it for u. But i
was still in a state SHOCK and just write the phone #s and emails of
managers and directors to contact. When i saw the mail from cisco i was
FAILED then i mailed and called Cisco's higher peoples "WAS I WAS WAITING
FOR LAST 5 MONTHS TO SEE THIS ADMIN ERROR".

The next i was totally dishearted and was thinking to leave CISCO as my
carrier and had reserved the seat back to Pakistan and at that grave moment
an angel from CISCO called me with name Mike Ried. He apologize all that had
happened from Cisco side and offered me a FREE LAB the next day. I cant
express my feeling what i was having at that time. So i had another lab on
3th May. Now this time all the things was fine.

I completed my lab before time and was able to check it. There was a problem
with my ISDN. actually that was related to the provider side but was counted
at my side. And i guess i would have lose all the points on ISDN. My all the
configs with the ISDN was cool so may be they would give me atleast some
points on that.

I didnt take a second thought on the topics and was doing the lab was
smoothly and feeling like HOME.

3th may was Friday.... i asked the proctor when i will get the result he
told me that ur result will be announce after 2 days. and i guess it will be
on Monday. Now i am waiting for my result and crossing my fingers to see
what will happened.

Lets see what will happen on Monday...... Actually i am taking this much
seriously as i am a student and is doing all this on my own (equipments,
traveling and lab). If i would fail this time then may be i will not be able
to pay for the lab exam again.

Just praying ALLAH to see what he have put into my destiny.

Sorry guys for this long mail !!
