Welcome!!
I'm in the same boat as you, very happy to have stumbled across this great site. I'm making use of the Qantas Club membership deal soon, and getting lots of handy hints along the way.
Happy and safe travels,
Nick
I've stayed at the novetel Clarke Quay before, great location, and great hotel, fairly well priced too!
Enjoy your trip, I love Singapore!!! Hope your kids enjoy Universal Studios (if you go there), we loved it!!
