Curious about this. You have no local friends there and spend most of your time coding or making music. Why the heck would you do this in Singapore rather than its various 3-5x cheaper neighboring countries?.. money no object?

I've lived almost all my life in Singapore and don't feel incredibly connected locally anyway. Most of my friends have no particular interest in tech/coding. A few are interested in entrepreneurship, though.
Shoutout to anyone else here. HN meetup sometime?
Hit up with those in HackerSpaceSG maybe?

Get acquainted with Malaysian/Singaporean while you're there too.

Also, the dum byriani (sp?) and various forms of masala in little India are freaking amazing.
Coincidental timing for me. I'm Singapore for a few weeks, and even though I've spent months here in the past and have a long-term visa, I have almost no local friends here. I feel like I should feel guilty about it. But I don't feel guilty about it, except in an abstract way.
