Try Newton Circus (on Orchard Road) in Singapore, ask for the chilli crab, all the wind you'll ever want... and your arse will "love" it.

September is a perfect month for wind at Lakey Peak in Sumbawa which is 2 islands East of Bali.

Fix yourself a return flight to Bali, take a daily flight to Sumbawa which is about $160 return and stay at the Amangati Hotel at about $30 a night with Air Con, pool and all meals!! Slightly more if you are travelling alone.
