Ooh my GOD, I AM A CCIE
Dear All My Friends,
I cannot believe as today I Pass my Lab EXAM on mobile lab in my own
country
Indonesia. This is actually my second attempt.
First of all I want to thank God to make this happen, My Wife and My Twin
Children. My Father , mother and my sister.
And to My Friend Tumpal Tamba for his hospitality to help me, My Friend
Ronny Kurniawan to always give me hope and answering a lot of my silly
question.
And Of Course to my amazing Mentor Mr. Narbik Kocharians. My Friend Dale
Shaw , Mark, Venu, thanks to you all for answering my question.
And to Hobbs and all my friend in GS that I cannot mention one by one,
thank
you very much for your help, Really appreciate it.
I begin My Journey on November 24th 2007 as I pass my CCIE written. It's
actually my friend Ronny and Mr Tumpal that encourage me to get this
Certification as before I believe It is impossible to do it.
After I pass my written, I use CBT Nuggets --> Jeremy, really nice guy and
start my first IEWB WORKBOOK. After that I take 5 mocklab of IEWB and all
I
got score under 50 (embarassing huh...).
And After a lot of thought and saving all this money, I encourage my self
to
get my first attempt at Sydney on December 18th 2008. In my first attempt,
I
feel got 50-50 chance to pass, but the result is failed.
I got shock for all I have sacrificed for this CCIE attempt and get this
failed report.
Anyway, after got back to my country, I have news on GS tell me that
Narbik's class gonna be in Sydney in Jan 2009. So I got back to Sydney
once
again, with a lot of hope but few of money :)
And I attend Narbik's bootcamp and It's really a great bootcamp. Believe
me
on this.
So , after that bootcamp, I scheduled my second attempt in Jakarta on 20
March 2009.
So here we are today, as I have read all CCIE candidate who pass the exam
in
GS said will be e-mailed by cisco with e-mail subject "COngratulation,
Your
are PASS".
But today I have e-mailed only subjected "your ccie lab has been scored".
I said Oh, my GOD I failed again this time, I knew it. And my wife said
that
she had confidence on me, then I check to my CCO Login. In process I
closed
my eyes, I don't dare to see it, but I see my number 23887, OH MY GOD, I
PASS.
NOW, I just want to relax, buy an XBOX Console and play all day :)
Thanks again GS
God Bless You All
Regards
Mark Stephanus Chandra
