Re: NARBIK’S BOOTCAMP - A GREAT PERSONAL INVESTMEN

I agree to what you wrote. On my blog, there's a five day review on what
Narbik taught me and the other students. A couple of them had become CCIEs
if memory served me correctly. It's been 2 years though and yet I still feel
far from attempting the lab (even though I passed the written ... barely but
still a pass ;-)). It's time for Narbik to step on Malaysian soil again!!!
