Give me a break! One more correct answer would have made all the difference. Reality had slapped me right in the face.
Putting my failures aside, I had decided to proceed to book another FTT via BBDC's online book system to get it down and over with.

So what is going to happen when Singapore hit the population of 6 million?

Six million.
That's the total number of people Singapore can afford to accomodate in the near future, says Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong as quoted by Channel NewsAsia.
Responding to a question from the host during a recorded panel discussion on MediaCorp, PM Lee said, "It's very hard to give a concrete figure, because the situation is evolving. We're gradually increasing our land area, and if we rebuild our older towns,then we can accommodate more people."
"Today our population is over 5 million. In the future, 6 million or so should not be a problem. Beyond that, we'll have to think more carefully," Mr Lee added.
He was responding to a question by host Chun Guek Lay who had asked what was Singapore's ideal population target.
As of December last year, Singapore's population stood at 5.26 million.
Singapore's ideal population size has been a bone of contention in recent years as the country struggles to cope with the influx of foreigners and a record low birth rate.
Update: It would seem that the system only allow users to book slots available in the same month, that would explain why there was no available slots for me during end September. I was later able to book a slot for myself in early October through the system.
