Thank you for your advise! That is also the reason why I'm telling myself that I will be given another chance (praying hard for divine help too).
Yes, you're right that many many MANY have applied (wasting the slots. grrr...) and so I will just have to wait and make the best out my my next try.
It just sometimes worry me that SIA decided to stop taking in Diploma holders OR I did SO badly in my 1st try, they have blacklisted me or something...
