Europe is in recession, you'll be lucky to get a job that doesn't include shoveling poo.

any suggestion/advice or workaround on how to acquire a good job without shoveling poo?

Tourist visa hunt for a job then shift visa category to Working visa? or WHM?

As others have already said you can't just switch from a tourist visa to a work permit. If you find an employer willing to sponsor you for a work permit you would have to leave the UK and then come back when (or if..) your work permit was approved.

WHM is not an option if you are Filipino (which I'm presuming you are).

The other possible option is highly skilled worker (Tier 1 General) assuming you meet the requirements in terms of qualifications, current earnings, savings, etc.

In that case if there would be an employer willing to sponsor for a work permit its fine with me to go back in Singapore and wait, no choice dude...

You can try to find some kind of sponsorhip, but guarantees of success are very slim.

Good luck.
