Singapore - Orchard Rd is the large and impressive shopping district. Do your homework now on what gadgets you would like to buy and check out the prices over there. They also have the most up-to-date gadgets so you will feel like you've entered Aladdin's cave. Make sure you haggle, you'll be amazed how much you can get off the listed price.
Also in Singapore, visit the swanky Raffles hotel and indulge yourself in a couple of its famous Singapore Slings. The air-conditioning in the bar is a sight to behold, a series of fans hanging from the celing and swirling cool air around you.
The Night Safari is a must as is Sentosa island with its flower garden and insect house.
Bon voyage!

Harbour Bridge Climb in Sydney - obvious
Rivercat ride to Parramatta and back - time it to be coming back into Sydney Harbour at Nightfall and you won't be disappointed
Yum Cha in Chinatown
Japanese Garden are a must see
Blue Mountains - get the Train from Central Station and head for either Blackheath (if you are after views and bushwalking) or Mt Victoria if you are into qaint little villages
The Rocks (district in Sydney)
Singapore:
Shopping, shopping, shopping
Dinner Cruise on the Harbour
Mo-Ped ride through the downtown

I can't help much with Sydney, but here are some ideas for Singapore:
Shopping: Orchard Road
Evenings: Clarke Quay, Little India, Chinatown, 'bum boat' trip on river (start Clarke Quay)
Others:
Botanic gardens, Sentosa Island (take cable car one way at least), Johor Bahru for sea food, Zoo (but don't bother with bird park anymore), City Hall and Raffles Shopping Centres, Bugis Junction shopping.
History: a few sites like Changi Gaol and the 'Battlebox" on the hill above Clarke Quay

If you are in Sydney on 3rd March, don't miss the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. The parade is spectacular and starts around 8pm. Unless you get a space by the barricade very early, avoid Oxford Street and lower Flinders St if you want to see anything.

In Sydney be sure to do the bridge climb as it's amazing experience.
Do a harbour luncheon cruise as you will get amazing photo opportunities.
Go to Manley beach and bondi beach. make use of the ferries.
Go to centre point and climb the Sydney tower. Again amazing views.
Take a coach day trip to the blue mountains. Awesome.
We stayed in darling harbour which has many nice eateries and bars.

How long are you there for, what kind of things do you enjoy and how much are you willing to spend?
There's no point me telling you about museums if you hate museums, and no point telling you about the surfing spots if you can't swim. If you give me some indication of what you enjoy i can tell you might find fun in Sydney - there's a lot to do there!
