Hi,
Since I am into IT gadgets and consumer electronics like digital camera, I like to introduce you to Funan IT Mall where you can shop for IT stuff and also consumer electronics at big retails shops like Courts, Harvey Norman and Challenger.
I shop at Funan IT Mall quite often for my IT accessories like printer ink, paper, etc..and notebook and PC too. I window shop there at least once a month just to keep up with the latest gadgets and prices in the market.
Funan IT Mall is located near to the City Hall MRT station and within the city area so it will be easy to find your way there.
The prices are fixed though you can always asked for some discount or some accessories as gifts if you are making a big purchase; eg. if you are buying a notebook or PC, you can try to ask for thumbdrive, cordless mouse etc.... It is likely that they can give you such accessories than give you a price discount.
I would also strongly advise you to check the prices of the items so as to ensure that you are not paying for more than what you can buy in your own local retail shop. And also whether the item has international warranty.
Finally, do not be taken in by offer that just sounds too good to be true ( eg display items may be sold off with a huge discount but may be scratched or jaded ) or buy items that were not on your original shopping list.
Otherwise, shopping at Funan IT Mall should be a good and enjoyable experience.

Depending on what you are looking for, sometimes it may be worthwhile to take a MRT train to the heartlands or suburds like Toa Payoh, Tampines to shop for clothing but non-branded ones, of course.
Orchard Rd retail shops are now more meant for tourists.
Suntec City, Marina Square and Vivocity are also large shopping malls.
Besides shopping, do not forget to find some time to visit other places of interests like Singapore Zoo and our Night Safari, Sentosa island resort,....
Anyway, whatever you do in Singapore, I hope you will have a pleasant stay.
