I'm pretty certain there will be no non-rated DEP recruitment in either 2014 or 2015 so unless you've already got something useful on your licence you're probably out of luck for the next couple of years. Also, I'm not quite sure what Wirbelstrum means when he says that "Less popular trips come with higher credit." Credit is calculated either using flying hours or time away from base (or a minimum amount differing for short and long haul); there is no adjustment for popular or unpopular trips. Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok etc are extremely popular trips and also attract some of the highest credit.
