I have been reading posts on this site for awhile now and this will be my first, hopefully a simple one... I have search high and low for post on this with no avail, so sorry if I double post.
My girlfriend (Australian) moved with work to Singapore 3 months ago.. She has a condo & EP etc.. My job in Australia is now finished and after a holiday in Thailand I’m 'moving' to Singapore to be with her

I know I get 1 month entry visa as I am also Australian and then can apply for a short term visa extension for another 2 months. I work in oil & Gas and my plan is to chill for a little bit before seeking out work, I hope this does not take 3 months.
So now the questions >
1) Is there a better method to my move to Singapore than entry visa + short extension? (Considering I am not moving with a job).
2) Can I travel in & out of Singapore to Malaysia etc whilst looking for work on the short term visa? (I don’t plan to sit around waiting for work, will go exploring in the mean time).
3) If i don’t find work in the short term visa extension time limit can i apply for another visa?
4) Can i open a bank account on short term visa & transfer some money to live on across from Australia?
I have plenty more questions but will keep searching the forums for answers
