Does anyone have idea if these planes will be dumped "immediately" once new A350s have been received? I might be flying to Singapore in january and according to schedule it's not yet A350, but if there are plenty of A350 then it might not be these queens?

If all the the things go as they are planned, LQF and LQG are both replaced by A350 in 2015.
Take a look pdf #27 here, it shows wide body fleet plans year by year:

2nd A350 route (Beijing) starts 21NOV and 3rd (Bangkok) 04DEC.
My flight to MIA 28NOV is planned to be on LQF/LQG. Return on 05DEC is planned to be on "normal" A340.
Are there any new routes compared to last year, or does the arrival of third A350 (BKK) mean that LQF/LQG should be finally out? AY would still have one widebode more in their fleet than now.

Done some searching again 
and the statement is here:
Last scheduled French Queen (LQF and LQG) flight is 04DEC.
Before that in Oct, Nov and Dec these Queens are heading to HKG, KBV, PEK, SIN, BKK and MIA.
LQA is not leaving soon.

...so not only AY happily puts these old birds on "guaranteed sleeper seat" routes, they continue to advertise this.

So now when it seems likely that this will be delayed I guess one of the old ladies will be kept in service after that date...
