Aha !!
The Rain Curse !! You must have got it right this time, it's obviously the perfect scope for you. Only happens then. It will pass and the crowds will no longer laugh and point, you are on the road to nirvana or your wallet will go broke.
Seriously, keep us posted on your viewing. I been to Singapore a few times and I'm amazed you can see any stars at all with the light pollution up there. If you can get near the coast line down South you might be able to look out over the sea and clear some of the glow.
