The SIA web site will *only* show your itinerary if you originally booked it on singaporeair.com. I've booked SQ tickets over the phone before, using my KrisFlyer number, and they did not show up until it was time for online check-in. As far as I know, this policy has not changed even though internet check-in is not limited to KrisFlyer members anymore.
While this is indeed inconvenient when compared to some other airlines (UA, for one), it is nothing new.
