Any clues as to when (wondering if I should re-route some trips through BKK instead)?

Fairly recently. Note its only some of the AKL-SYD and SYD-AKL flights, others not codeshared, which is odd as being marketed as use SQ to visit both Australia & NZ in the one trip with the codeshare filling the open-jaw.

I think they are deploying the aircraft on this route as they have to compete with Qantas/BA as they use singapore as a stopover between Australia & Europe. Seems Emirates will deploy them on the Australia-Dubai route as well. [Please tell me if i'm wrong]

Airbus is planning a 3 to 6 months delay in the A-380 deliveries to the different airlines. This is what was reported in the news this morning.
I guess they will have to pay a penalty to the airlines for every single aircraft they have ordered.
So this means we will have to wait a lot longer than we thought to be able to fly on the SQ A-380.

waiting for the A380 inaugural flights, today I picked up the gift from SQ. It's the Singapore Airlines A380 model scale 1:200. And SQ makes it more impressive by giving me as well the Boeing 777 model with the same scale. 
It's awesome to look at the different in size ... Thank you SQ!!! ^ ^ ^

Not in the KrisShop as I recalled, which usually scale at 1:400.
The VP said that this gift for me should make me be the first to have the A380 model (my guess would be the first to have it in Canada) which I really appreciate his thoughtfullness ...
