That has been happening quite frequently on that route due to a combination of A380 tech issues (freeing up that A380 gives an extra bit of slack in the system) and a lack of A380 pilots which has also hit quite a few services. SIN at 4 pilots each day across a 5 day roster is having a bigger impact then expected and is one of the main reasons SIN drops the A380 service next March apparently.
