Looking for work in another country requires more than just the obvious CV translation. You will be confronted with issues
that probably didn't even cross your mind when you decided to go for an international career, but don't underestimate
the big impact they can have on the outcome of your adventure! Think for example about the different rules and
habits regarding immigration, job application procedures, the selection procedures and the management culture.
It is relatively easy to meet people in Singapore (especially if you have kids). I recommend joining St George's Mothers and baby group for new mothers to Singapore. It is run by the church but has no religious content. Very popular and can be waiting lists! Another great way to meet people is to join a sports club e.g Hockey Club, of which there are many in Singapore.

Time out Singapore is a good place to register online for their weekly newsletter of events.

Yes the weather can be oppressive and I'm not convinced you ever get used to it but stay ahead by ALWAYS carrying an umbrella.
