UA2 is SIN-SFO. I assume you mean UA1, SFO-SIN? Here's the flight status: link. It's booked 44/48. The chances of them getting upgraded in advance are essentially zero. They might get upgraded at the gate, but the chances are you're hoping for bad weather causing a bunch of missed connections.

In the future, don't bother calling to ask about waitlist status. The agents aren't supposed to tell you, will often make something up just to get you off of the phone, and it's all highly variable anyway. A GS could book four tickets tomorrow, apply GPUs, and suddenly they're fifth on the list.
