Was in Singapore last summer. Great city, very clean, very modern. It lacked the authentic vibe though and felt more western rather than Asian. I'd call it a posh city, you can feel the very high standard of living. I was disappointed when looking for souvenirs I couldn't find anything national Singaporean. English is everywhere, even in the subway they announce the stops in English.
If you're there make sure to go to Geylang. It's famous not only for hookers but also for the best Asian food. It's also very cheap, unlike alcohol.
