Bring what you would wear if spending a semester in a school at the Northeast USA (i.e. New York City). The average January temperatue range in the 40's, with the low temp in the 30's, getting warmer from there. Darker clothes, turtlenecks, jackets, plenty of wool scarves should help in the winter months.

Brussels has some nice shops, and so does Antwerp, a short train ride away. And Paris is easily reached by train too. Just make sure you have a warm, rainproof coat for Jan/Feb, and a scarve and gloves.
Weather is very hard to predict; it can be cold, but we do not even have snow every year. It will certainly be colder than Singapore though!
