Go see your local migration agent; fill up a questionnaire to determine if Australia wants you in the first place. If you don't have enough points, go become a professional plumber, and re-apply after you've done that.Is that what you did ??? (assuming u in australia now)

That would be the way to go; as far as I'm aware, I don't think there's any other way for entry into Australia from Singapore. It's easier if you have relatives here, or have capital to inject into the Australian economy (business investment provision or something, forgot sorry).
The time taken to do the application is considerable; of course you would have to make provisions for work, family, education etc. Don't forget that migration is subject to alot of other preconds. amongst them are health related issues - you will have to undergo a thorough medical checkup, and then you would have to submit your financials if I recall ... to assess your liquidity and financial health.
Before any of you decide to make a leap of faith, life here is very different. All that fun and excitement, the exhiliration of starting a new life ... that will wear out.
I've been here since I was a kid .. but I go back to Singapore often enough for me to still acknowledge my roots; now that I'm an adult, I still make my way home every year. I love Australia, and in many ways, it's better than Singapore but nothing feels like home.

My aunt's been living in sydney for decades and she said being a tradesman is the best deal in australia now and the earning can be quite substancial and furthermore, very flexi in timing.
That is the way to go. Australia lacks tradespeople.
I have a very distant uncle who graduated from ITE. He now builds some tiny medical equipment thingy; making such good money he can put his son and daughter through private education which is $20k/year/child, and can afford a $700k home and drive a nice car. Again, all these prices are in AUD, so multiply by 1.25 to find the corresponding the rates in SGD.
