Are you in the southern hemisphere? Because you have a pine currently extending candles. Extending candles have sap on the outside.

Singapore is about 1° north of the equator. So, technically, not in the southern hemisphere.

New to the term candling. If its the emergence of new shoots and leaves, it appears that the "shoot" seems to be awfully long and huge without any pine leaves for quite a while... I am unsure if the sap thing is normal, whether this shoot (without any leaves) is normal, and what my next step should be

This is how pines grow. They grow a long candle. And from the candle the needles grow. Then for most species, it is done growing again for a year.

Thanks for the inputs. Any changes that i would need to make to improve (if any) to the situation?

Was wondering when I can start shaping the plant, pruning the leafs (i've started to prune the smallest, oldest leaves closes to the base of the trunk as a start but slowly) and whether i should continue feeding it with fertilizer.

What you are asking is basically "how to bonsai" . First of all you do not have a bonsai but a young sapling that could become a bonsai in 10-15 years if given the proper care and b,y using the right techniques on the right moment.
For now: your pine needs to be outside and stop cutting needles because they are the food factories for the plant there is absolutely no reason to cut them. Leave it alone and let it grow, repot early in spring ( but by the looks of the candle that moment has passed already) or in late summer.
Before you do anything else study what to do when and why, this site is a good place to start with good online courses, YouTube is also a good source of info. But ask first and do then, not the other way round
