Is 4000SGD before or after tax? Most Singaporeans live comfortably under 2500SGD. I can do a very rough breakdown for you.

Accom: $400-800 (depending on your required level of comfort)
Food: $200-400 if you intend to cook everyday. $400-600 if you eat out every meal. Average of $20-30/meal if you pamper yourself at restaurants.
Transport: $50-150 for public transport
Phone bill: $30-100 depending on your usage
Utility bill: $50-100
Toiletries: $20-50

Taking the upper limit on the above, you spend $1800 monthly. I have not included your shopping expenses as I don't know what you normally buy. But I dare say you're in a safe pay range

If you have any further questions, just pop me a PM and I'll be more than glad to assist in whatever way I can. Reason for PM is because I seldom visit the Singapore forum.
