Cukes in Singapore

Hi, its nice to seeing this list beginning to show signs of life after a long hibernation. Well,in Singapore I am replanting my garden- we garden all year but every few months or so there is clearing up to be done and replanting.
One veg I am having difficulty with here is cucumbers. I know farms do produce them here but I have been trying more exotic varieties and having no success. They just seem to shrivel up and die. Our temp is largely in the upper70s and early 80s, climbing to about 90 at most on a very hot day.Is that way too hot? Do they need shade or lots of water? I have just planted another exotic variety- Painted Serpent. I hope to have some success this time.
Wishing everyone a Happy Gardening Weekend.
