Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Singapore is 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Portland.
The best time to meet is 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Singapore, which is 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Portland. The shared window is only 2 hours — treat 8:00 AM in Singapore (4:00 PM in Portland) as the one fixed point and plan everything else around it. Worth a glance at the calendar — Portland is on the previous day, so align on the date as well as the time. Note the seasonal wrinkle: when Portland is on daylight saving and Singapore isn't, the gap between them grows or shrinks by an hour.
