I do have savings, I'm not in a burning position. I did get a job, but it's not in softdev; I'd prefer working in engineering. I don't exactly _have_ to avoid my old network, but I wouldn't to explain them what kind of situation I am in.

No need to explain anything. This is a professional relationship, not a personal one. "I have left X and relocated to Asia to pursue new challenges. I now work as a freelance contractor." is fine, hell, it even sounds exotic! Who wouldn't want to work remotely from a foreign country? Keep the bad out of your sale pitch. They don't need to know why you have moved and neither do they need to know that you are currently not employed as an engineer.
