I hate to burst your bubble, but its very very late in the game. For those in your batch which are going to front office in a foreign house, most will already have 2 to 3 big name internships, maybe an offer or two, likely a first class.
If I were in your exact position, I will network like crazy to sift out unposted positions, tell all my relatives and friends that I want to get into banking, and write to heads of the dept you are keen on in various banks in Singapore to ask for an internship. That's your best chance, cos you are definitely a low probability candidate if u go via the traditional route.
Gd luck.
