the 1 on the right was for the individual theory test whereas the 1 on the left is for team equipment practical setup challenge
the prize (3) in the bluebox, a 4 Gb thumbdrive for each of the team members. btw, i already have the blue color version, now im getting the violet version!
my own prize.. ekekeke!
and, guess what?! it's another thumbdrive, however, this 1 is sold to my room8 for 15 bucks.. wahahaha!
presentation of prize to the team!
and, presentation to me, myself and i!here's the story:
it was yesterday that this competition was held at my college, just for CCNA networking students. hm, yah~
the rules are quite simple, 2 phases: 1 is theory phase and another is practical phase. Of course, if one wants to go to practical aka 2nd phase, they must get a high score for the theory test.
in addition, there was a embarassing moment in the conference room when 1 of the lecturers, ms Chok was giving us a briefing. She said that last year TARC were 1st runner-up in the national level competition, so this year, she wants that champion trophy to be brought back to TARC. and at that time, she pointed at me and said, "horrr, yeong hui!" .. how embarassing! ><
so, we had our theory test @ the CIT center for an hour starting from 9.30am. after that, the computer calculated the score of each participant and the sum of each team. want to know how much i got? i got 9 wrong out of 50, 82 marks for me! and fyi, there's another student, a friend of mine, obtained 82 as well, we were tied for the no1 spot. Such a coincidence! With that 82 marks, i got myself a 2 Gb thumbdrive. hee! then, before they announce the qualified teams, a lunch buffet was prepared for us! and honestly, the food prepared is more than what we could eat. besides, the thumbdrive and the lunch are already worth more than 5 bucks, isn't it!
after lunch, my team was assigned to 1 of the CCNA network laboratories for the setup challenge. The challenge was about subnetting a network(VLSM), dynamic routing protocol (OSPF) and inter-vlan routing. these are all the things that we have learnt before. but 1 thing we never go through is emergency recovery. and that happened to me yesterday! arghh, sorry CK-san and vincent-san, i admit that it was a honest mistake. i configured the wrong authentication password on the switch. That caused me to be unable to login into the switch interface(the IOS). luckily the invilgilator was quite lenient, she gave me tips to bypass that configuration file. hee. but im sure that this kind of thing wont be happening anytime soon!
back to the challenge, we were one of the 2 teams that could finish the challenge. The rest weren't able to make their network operable. furthermore, i thought that my team is going to be penalized! and it did, i guess, my lecturer told me, our total mark and the mark of another team is separated by a small gap. How pityful! ><
thus, the result showed that we were 1st runner-up, sighs!
and that's it, after the prize presentation, it was about 4.30pm, i was very exhausted at that time. Right now, my team and other teams need to prepare ourselves for the netriders competition, but we need to study CCNA exploration 3 and 4 ourselves , oh dear~
