To eac:Thanks alot mate gonna give them a ring later.
To Just: ive no idea what you mean by kiasu but i take it as some sort of unkind remark, but on topic, I don't like a two year gap between my A-level and Degree so I find it more logical to do my ns at 16 1/2 THIS IS PURELY PERSONAL and i have no intentions of dragging anyone else to do it at 16 1/2, they can do whatever they want to do, just like i have my own opinions. Thanks!
