That's barely enough time to get a walk, some Singapore chicken-rice, and a shower.

Seats 15 A&B on the 744, cheap fares, 50% off at the Conrad (coupons from UA)...good times. That is what made me sign up for FT and play the game.

Now I would say leave the bags at Changi, spend the night out and about and take a $12 shower at the transit lounge pre flight. I would be at the Sands casino myself...
