Kacang is Nuts!

Just found out that we had our faces plastered on the Education section of the Star newspapers today.

Read all about it at here.

No, I’m not dead (This phrase has been used to death around here. Maybe I should use it as my blog tagline. You know, “Kacang is Nuts!: No, I’m not dead!”). Well, I’ve been busy (Bet you’ve heard that one, too). No, really.

It’s all a long story, a little of which I mentioned in passing here. So, what really happened was that… I got a job at my dream company! WOOHOO! *dances, jiggles, cheers*

OK, alright, not ‘jakun’ or anything but I’m very excited to get a job with Cisco Systems. If you’ve not heard of the name, it’s the top network technology provider worldwide. Every time you use the Internet, you can be sure that somewhere along the line, a Cisco switch or router is humming quietly and sending your data along up and down the line. These days, Cisco equipment is pretty much the glue which holds much of the Internet together.

Anyway, I’ll be joining Cisco through its Associate Systems Engineer (ASE) program. This program will bring me to Cisco’s Research Triangle Park facility in North Carolina for a one year training stint starting in July 2008. Together with three other ASEs (no, not ASSES!), we’ll be trained in Cisco’s own networking technology, technical sales as well as effective communicating. By the end of the one year, we are expected to have achieved both the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) and Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP) certifications.

Expect more about this in future, but one thing’s for sure: It’s gonna be a heck of an awesome experience!
