With the opening of Singapore Changi Terminal 3, Singapore AirlinesÂ’ operations will be split roughly 50-50 between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. The flight distribution for departing flights will be as follows:

ARRIVING FLIGHT OPERATIONS FOR SINGAPORE AIRLINES
Because SIA aircraft undertake mixed rotations (ie arrive from Australia and then rotate to South East Asia), arriving flights into SIN will NOT follow any pattern. Flights will arrive into the terminal WHERE THE AIRCRAFT IS DUE TO NEXT DEPART FROM. The terminal of arrival will be made known to passengers 6 hours prior to arrival (on the IFE system) and subsequently confirmed 2 hours before the flight is due to land. Passengers will be processed in the terminal they are due to arrive in.
Meeters and Greeters based in Singapore who wish to pick up friends and family at Changi Airport will have to check on the internet or via telephone which terminal their friends are arriving at.
There are will be 2 airside and 1 landside train connections between Terminal 2 and 3. Journey time will be approximately 2-3 minutes. Transfer passengers will have to make use of the trains to make Terminal 2-3 transfers. Alternatively, walking from Terminal 2 to 3 will take about 5-10 minutes landside (direct route using the underground route) and 30-40min airside as one would have to make a U-shape journey via Terminal 1.
Hopefully the above provides some degree of clarity to everyone about the new arrangements for Singapore Airlines beginning in January 2008.
woo.. sounds like one big confusion.. hopefully people will know where to go to pick up their relatives n friends.
Aircraft will be rotated as usual which means if the plane u are on will dock in the terminal depending on the flight where it will go next.
Oh i can vouch that if u walk airside from T2 to T3 it will really take 30 to 40mins depending on how fast u walk
