I try to do this to.

Got a very nice agent, who was happy to plug in the segments I wanted.
So we have
MEL-SIN-PEK-ARN-LHR-CPH-PEK-SIN-MEL in SQ and SK C class

He was so accommodating , and helpful, and because I was using my Australian credit card, he said to call Australian MP, and pay tomorrow, he gave me the confirmation number, and said maybe I might want to review the booking nad make changes before I pay, is that even possible?
Nevertheless, thanks for the helpful replies!

Congrats for booking a nice award trip!
