“Up” is the highest the centre of each pattern gets above the horizon tonight — your fist at arm's length spans about 10°. Directions are where to face when it's best placed.
Low on the horizon from Singapore
These clear the horizon but stay low, so trees and buildings may hide them: Crux (~19°, southern) · Leo (~17°, western) · Ursa Major (~13°, north-western) · Gemini (~0°, north-eastern).
Out of reach from Singapore
At Singapore's latitude these never climb above the horizon, so you can't see them from here at any time of year: Canis Major, Carina. To catch them, you'd need to travel toward the Southern Hemisphere.
