Mission  Impossible  ---the experience for CCIE in HK

At 04:20am 12^th January in 2003, after putting a finial order on my computer to finish my last topology exercise, I ended my concentration camps which continue 3 months. During these 3 months I call myself ¡°Crazy¡± for I ate a few cartoons, no shower  once a week, 5 hours for sleeping each day on the floor of the lab, no entertainment (music, movies, dance), even going to downstairs is a rare thing.
3 months ago, I quit my nice job for capturing the fortress of CCIE.

I had passed the paper test one and an half year ago but I have no time to consider the lab test since the work was always overloaded.

Its very argent because the record of paper test is going to be overdue so I made a hard decision that quitting. After that I felt regret and my friends can¡¯t understand what I did.
Only one way to the top of mountain its time to end up an extricable linkage with Cisco. Though I felt confident its very harder to pass the CCIE lab test at the first kick than gambling. Reality is always different from what we expected. I had to make the other plan B, back to the concentration camps.
Taking a shower after work that is happiest thing for me. When I waked up its 7 o¡¯clock, oh my god, its got be late. I must be at Luohu port at 8 o¡¯clock but I thought its impossible. Wearing my suits and tie which are prepared in advance, I rushed downstairs with my briefcase and the seedy coat.                
At the cross road the traffic jam drove me crazy to turn over the barrier, hailing a taxi to get the wrong way to the Luohu Port. Luckily the taxi driver was very kind to me speeding around 150km/hr. But the heavy traffic was killing me.
After ten minutes the traffic got back to normal I arrived at the port on time. Thanks God!

Report, they found led to many strange eyes, in particular the beautiful dress stylish MM, I was originally the case of the old cotton-padded jacket ----- Put the Blame on the day, and had to wear, it was my lucky cotton-padded jacket, It will be adjusted from 95 north-south I fought through months of the experimental stage friction, is already shiny mirror. I think they will think : how Yaofande together with a travel to Hong Kong. Therefore, I would like you to the Friendly reminder : go to Hong Kong, it is necessary to clean their salvaged some, lest I end up like this predicament.

Had to queue up to cross the border, led to the girl because business is not good at the first-day induction, We even arranged for four teams, with the number of immigration clearance day Surprisingly, we were trapped in the Customs 30 hours. hearts angry urgency, we can see a young girl was a husky fellow with the group yelled out tears, Fireweed hearts measuring implicit ----- Why are the heart of it, who is not the first ah, it was not necessary to curse
Finally sit down at the Kowloon Tong bound train fares -- 33 Hong Kong dollars, tired and hungry, so he fought a nap. When he woke up, found an aunt before me, as she quickly stood up and yield. After all, "the aged respected, the virtues of the Chinese nation," yet, the people of Hong Kong as well as the life of a person, so I am sorry people. So standing in front of the gate of the way to see Hong Kong, Ha Ha, House No Shenzhen beautiful, spiritless There is the feeling that Apart from the floor, is the problem. Really imagine so good.
The plan to go first to the chief examiner, for a few months of hard work, coupled with a night of almost not District Environmental Hygiene Superintendent, decided to first find places to live. Hong Kong had to ask good, in a Tsim Sha Tsui hotel in Chongqing and Taiwan Hotels relatively cheap. MTR will ride from Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon Tong-fares to nine Hong Kong dollars, a new subway, asked the first one looks like a hotel general prices, mark between 1,055 Hong Kong dollars. Can not afford to live! The past is reimbursed for affordable, what will happen now own pocket quits, the firm quit. Fei Jin a bit to find a hotel in Chongqing. Set up a room every night, 180 Hong Kong dollars and an independent toilet, but no toiletries supplies, bed fairly clean. Will it, but then let's wish to save money?.
No time to eat. Asleep repeat it three hours. 17:00, subway ride from Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui station to cross ------- Harbor Tunnel 2 Station Road fares have six yuan, after the station three blocks away. it is very easy to find it the next day to fight the battlefield ---- Ryan Center, third floor (Cisco companies in Hong Kong is located). In this need to explain that the neighborhood is not like Shenzhen and other cities in the neighborhood so long, it every 30 -60 meters is a Street, but are "small" Street, are mostly two-lane, six lanes as a two-way street meager As for the eight lane, it is minuscule and very hard to find in urban areas.
6:00 pm, finally found themselves hungry, we went to a small restaurant, with an area of about 15 square meters. Signboards following sentence reads : tendon powder, "a +1" 10 yuan, OK, Shenzhen also the cheapest? Six yuan. Who says your meal in Hong Kong, and Shenzhen almost yet. Sat down, picked up a menu Kanganzaixi original otherwise gimmicks, attendants explain know, a bowl of tendon powder 27 Hong Kong dollars. another few tablets tendon is 37 yuan, I asked whether or small bowl, the significance attendants eyes reveal a little disdain, Meihaoqi said : Mix 17 yuan. I must of Mix-My appetite is only Mix of ingredients. Never thought onto powder, I have a continually felt. Mix the Shenzhen Mix than many small, with the bowl, then my appetite. I can eat it at least six bowl ------- This is no exaggeration. Now the two will end it, taste really good, value! ! ! Out of the shop, then went straight to McDonald's, then to its two giant. No wonder McDonald's, the world's largest-selling 10 branches in Hong Kong 9. ------ Japan three years ago, one of the ranking, this year's rankings to be verified. Original eat "rice" was so expensive, and therefore the remaining few meals would have contributed to McDonald's.

Idle with nothing, they go shopping, relax Incidentally, the following are my friends to collect the information, I hope to help you : Barber, 75, the hair 35, the Oriental Daily News, six yuan, 20 yuan Internet / hour, most of the smoke 30 yuan / kits around 7-11 store packets (small) 6 yuan ----- big appetite to eat 10 no problem. Clonidine (buying price) 6 billion PLAYBOY 120-400 yuan, beef balls 4 string of 10 yuan General Cinema 60 yuan / Zhang, the 1100 square foot rent 7,800 yuan / month (housing). However, the electrical and clothing are very cheap, like one of Nike sports shoes in Shenzhen 1300, it will be only 800 yuan.
23:00 Top Hotels, ready to sleep, somehow, and can not sleep. Say it before attending the tension is unlikely that, after all, is the parched desert flowers after countless examinations baptism before. I have spent two and a half months to complete 13 (CCNA / DA / DP / NP / Cvoice / IE Writ en / CSE / IELTS / and others) examinations, but every door had a smooth passage. so I sent a friend nicknamed "examination machines." I strained right does not exist! But sleep well tomorrow how true? !
At seven o'clock, a bell sounded on time, I started which is blurred eyes, watching the ceiling : He finally my turn to hell!

Struggling to get up and toiletries finished, spent breakfast, it easily and quickly rushed off to the execution ground. 8:40 assigned to the execution ground, examiners are busy preparing to torture devices, I glance, face the muscles rapidly mobilized, and being me laugh-laugh with good intentions. Gentle nature and behavior of decency, it is this double-CCIE gave me the impression that.
¡¡¡¡Let me wait examiner. I and the other two had long been waiting for the torture of my fellows strike up a conversation and learned that they take a fourth, from Taiwan, Another take third, from Hong Kong. Finished, absolutely finished, but first I ah, in accordance with the "Cisco Theory," He who is unfeeling I was the absolute. The game is over, can be thought of the waiting game has not yet started, it was over! ! ! Life is the greatest tragedy of this! ! ! ! ! !
9:00 now, us into a torture chamber! Examiner takes affable smile, we checked the identity cards Mandarin with a brief introduction to the examination should note, we have a good distribution of the examination, after Behind it in the whiteboard and wrote four characters : 9:03

9:00-three hours examiner's order : You can start. A There is no suspense, in addition to the dead, they died on this game the curtain.

30 seconds later, I heard two of my fellows thrown up a happy "heroic symphony." He is : big beads beads charged jade plate. Chinese folk song and dance sometimes slow, sometimes belting primer fly down, and I Surprisingly, more than an hour about not touch the keyboard, Facing nearly 20 of the exam questions in a daze!
10:13, the selling of the time I realized that I faced only display eight small window, but also can enlarge, I know very well that poor eyesight, so to me, the really. As for the rack, routers, switches and other fundamental to me -- but then, they are in possession of the United States.
Shortly after the hand, ran into trouble, Khan followed on the flow to the agonizing for more than an hour did not turn to you a reason - it is fate, but finally decided to flutter, I think the use of the relatively correct approach, and then continue to go on suffering.

12:00, the time for a meal to. I gave my fellows and two together with the examiner to the dining table, lunch box has some credit, Cisco is still relatively "benevolent intention." someway to provide meal of a free lunch. 10,375 yuan, spent values! Hypopharyngeal to lunch, having two down, the other two brothers, or not gone. Examiner may also feel that we are faced with the pressure of the initiative up and we talk together, managed to be true Unfortunately, too little time, or we will be blowing overhead. I have served as "school boasting Association," chairman. Another two brothers in this regard is slightly cautious, it should be said that in addition to formal or formal, less than five sentences. The total "Traffic" of 1.3%. Oh, my spirit! ! !

12:23, the second round of attacks began. Just drop it has encountered a stumbling block, and after a while, and then still agonizing, so three times, each time by a "flutter" as a result. 3 pm, tallying results and found only completed half the task a little more, Khan quickly soaked to the skin from, Then not knowing where to the inspiration, in the follow-up battle, I can even take care of a bomb, "the 9th Symphony." Sometimes machine guns, and sometimes mortars, and the competitive putting my two friends who went through the firepower to suppress, they have carefully checked, I suddenly rapid beating up the keyboard, a lake or heard sporadic gunfire. only as a foil.

What to do is sexual, open examiner side of the cavity : from the end of the test in 15 minutes, please note that the allocation of preservation. 15 minutes, right CCIE LAB examinations, in the sense that what? Nothing! ! ! Rapid completion of the last several orders issued several PING test! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Even have access! 5:23 naGames THE REALLY IS OVER!
Inadvertently back on it, and then found out that the chairs are back to the. If they had known this beforehand, why not get on with it? One might even more on out to a breakdown.
Coming really bad, who will attend CCIE LAB examination, no time in the final with SH RUN, SH IP ROUTE to check configuration, check routing, it seems I am the only one. Troubled, I was hopelessly stupid!
Very gentlemanly manner, with a smile and examiner of other adults Road, and then two of my fellows staggers Cisco walked out the door, Drilling elevator, six and was relatively silent, really, it's all so tired no effort to speak of.
Finally emerged from the building, but I feel as if the angels themselves -- obvious physical abnormalities signal will indicate two ahead of fellow-sufferer, Paralysis would then sit on the floor to take some rest.
After half an hour, to walk with difficulty getting McDonald's, a giant set, or even to the hypopharynx. After another half hour of the hotel, into the house, nothing can recall of. 23:00 wake up and eat out of our small. Encountered a cafe, would like to check into the results, namely 20 per / hour, still unable to cross anyway, to investigate ultimately, Against the next provincial money!
Walk in the neon lights, mood tack is boring, I thought about God is unfair, Cisco very rich, I and my family was still struggling for life. Why should I contribute to Cisco?, If this will be a nice, save the next examination fees will be 50,000 yen for my mother washing machine, so her elderly laundry by hand again. I also nephew of the university tuition fees are paid, up to now I have not yet bought my girlfriend a decent gift. Keep it forever mouth among floating slightest smile.

The plan to play in Hong Kong the day the scheme has been abolished, immediately back to the laboratory for examination next LAB prepare. 2 pm, and return to the "reunion after a long" laboratories. The other two are about to comrades-in-arms have been waiting for a long time. I look smiles to let them see me in the slightest pain yesterday. Of course, the first thing investigation results. When I have not yet read the first trip, my friends would shout up : off! ! !
Then he is screaming, and then he is to cling tightly to my neck, Then he is another one of my comrades-in-arms hugged each other, and I have not seen me through the examination of information. One minute later, I confirm that I passed the CCIE LAB examination.
