At the latitude of Singapore, just 2 degrees north of the equator, pretty much every constellation should be visible. I would think the light pollution is pretty bad though in such a built up area, so the sky will never be really dark and you need to concentrate on bright constellations, like Orion or the big dipper. Below is a web site that will show the sky as seen from Singapore.

At least all the zodiac constellations.

But all of them aren't visible all nights. For example on June, Geminis is not visible because is close to the sun. At night you can see the opposite of Geminis: Sagittarius. Also you can see Sagittarius neighbors: Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn and Aquarius.

Looking to the south you can see some constellations like Ophiuchus and Triangulum Australe. This ones will be close to the horizon, and less visible.

By looking to the north, you can observe Draco and Hercules. Again, this will be low in the sky, close to horizon.

Probably most of the ones not in the extreme polar regions, such as Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, but definitely the "zodiac" constellations, Orion, Centarus. Probably the Southern Cross (Crux) near the horizon.

Since Singapore is only slightly north of the Equator, you can see from there every star in the sky except for a very few above the south pole.

I would think the Big and Little Dipper...Orion and a few others. Now get some clothes on that eye! You should be ashamed of yourself letting it wander like that in that condition!

I live close the city so I can't see very much with all of the nearby lights.
