I was thinking of using the Lan box system I built as a mobile Lan gaming box as a mining box as well, will the psu be OK if I keep it running all night?

mining isn't profitable anymore, you'll just stress your hardware for a few cents that won't even cover the power costs anymore

The PSU's fine. If you're ok with dumping money into the sea, sure go mining.

Electric cost in SG is not the lowest, so you will making less money compared to other countries with cheaper electric.

And with only 1 gpu, you're making less than the cost of the electricity.
