And from Wikitravel:

Located a mere 1.5 degrees north of the Equator, the weather is usually sunny with no distinct seasons. Rain falls almost daily throughout the year, usually in sudden, heavy showers that rarely last longer than an hour.

…

The high temperature and humidity, combined with the lack of wind and the fact that temperatures stay high during the night, can take its toll on visitors from colder parts of the world. Bear in mind that spending more than about one hour outdoors can be very exhausting, especially if combined with moderate exercise. Singaporeans themselves shun the heat, and for a good reason. Many live in air-conditioned flats, work in air-conditioned offices, take the air-conditioned metro to air-conditioned shopping malls connected to each other by underground tunnels where they shop, eat, and exercise in air-conditioned fitness clubs. Follow their example if you want to avoid discomfort.

WHAT THE WHAT?! I’m going to melt over there.

Yep, it’s official, I’m going to Singapore. Please help me maintain my sanity by providing suggestions of ways to entertain myself during the long flights. I plan on bringing an assortment of books, DS games, and my iPod. I’ve also decided that I want a Netbook for my birthday (this one) that I can load up with movies – some of the flights will have power ports so battery life won’t be an issue. A few people at work have suggested sleeping pills, but I’m a light sleeper and I’m afraid I’m going to end up groggy, awake, and grumpy that I’m groggy and awake instead of actually getting any sleep.

Here’s what I’m up against:
