One doesn't have that much time to relax in SIN so before long you're back on board hot, tired and not very hungry....sleep is the main priority on this flight rather than enjoying the F service. A speedy meal service then lights out.
What a disappointing experience. On a recent SYD-BKK flight the crew encouraged the F passengers to taste the different wines on board, followed by the 6/8 course tasting menu. It was quite a show, and the flight went really quickly. Everyone in the cabin was awake, and for the most part were enjoying the experience. Obviously different from BKK-LHR which leaves at about 3am Australian time, and passengers are pretty tired and it is usually lights out about 90 minutes after leaving BKK.

It's a shame you had such a disappointing experience, on what should otherwise be a great F flight.
