I assume you're taking orders?
And snow... bring snow.

You might be OK with a step up transformer for your sound system. It needs to be at least double the maximum wattage rating of your system.
You could bring your TV if it has HDMI... digital cable boxes have HDMI outputs.
Leave all the rest of the stuff behind. Unlikely anything except maybe the hair dryer is dual voltage, and a lot of those draw a lot of watts.
Besides, unless someone else is paying the freight both ways, it costs a lot to ship that stuff.

Unless you've just got to have a specific brand, there are lots of options here.

They have infants in Singapore, although not too many. If your shipping is being paid for, I suppose you could bring, but all are readily available.

What for??????

Everything on your list is readily available here. Shelf life for goods that are not one hundred percent sealed (for example, rice in a cardboard box) will have a much shorter shelf life unless you run your aircon 24 hours a day, which most people don't do.

Asian bed sizes are six inches shorter than North American sizes (same width). Therefore if you bring the bed, you must bring the bedding because you'll never find it here.
Be aware that unless you are renting higher end, a lot of bedrooms are smaller and you may find yourself cramped with NA size bedding.
Basically, you might as well forget lamps and any electrical devices not designed for 240 volts.
For furniture, be aware that the tropical climate will take its toll on all sorts of things. Although you can run aircon 24 hours a day, electricity is very expensive and most people go local... having the house open during the day, and only using aircon at night for watching TV or sleeping (most Singapore housing has individual units in each room).
You might get some shipping estimates with and without your furniture and determine if the differential covers acquisition of new stuff and/or storage of old stuff and/or simply getting a bonus out of your company in lieu of shipping everything.
