deferred.

last week i received the sms that every Singaporean male who has completed his NSF cycle fears:

"You have received a National Service call-up notification... "

RESERVIST!! zomg. I'm barely out of army and they want me back already.
So obviously i went to ask all my other NS mates if they got it and yea. Got 2 somemore, though one is 2 days and the other is. 18. f*cking. days.

But after some checking around i realised that the 18 days one is NOT during my university holidays.. oh joy! So obviously can defer. Cos they said that you can defer for further studies one, such as uni.

So for those other NS kids who wanna defer also but don't know how.. you login to your account at www.ns.sg , then you look at the top taskbar that has NSConnect/eServices etcetc. Do you see 'NSMen'? Yea you hover there, a dropdown menu should show you 'MyDeferment' somewhere on that list.
Yup so unless you're computer illiterate you should be able to figure out what to do.

And yes after you applied for the deferment, they'll ask you to send in your documents like Uni admission letter.. timetable.. exam schedule.. all that nonsense. Which obviously we don't have.
Apparently if you call them up they'll also say need all these, admission letter not enough.


What happened was i didn't do anything and 2 days later some clerk from mindef emailed me, asking me to send in some proof if not my case will be processed without anything.
So i just sent in my admission letter + a saved webpage of the page where i confirmed my admission into NUS. Here, i'm nice enough to show you what it looks like




And a few days later (today) :

Annual ICT / 23/03/2010

22/03/2010

Successful / 31/03/2010

WINNA! :D

Those dates you see there are just the dates which i applied for deferment, received the callup, and deferment successful respectively.

I would put screenshots but i was afraid the page is confidential or something. So. GL deferring. i win.
