$8000 a month is quite ok if u ask me.

But dun be too confident with the management of expenses here in Sg.

Rents varies depending on your expectations. If u rent a govt flat, be prepared to stay further away 'outskirts' = more then 30mins (train ride/walking distance etc).

Rents for 80sq metres flat range $2200 up. If u bring your wife, dun think you want to share the flat with other people. Depending on govt highly volatile policies on renting of govt flats, things might change in the near future so be prepared to fork out or budget abit more in this expense. ($2500-$3000 just in case)

Food is reasonably price locally, but its not cheap from where u come from. If you dine out daily or if you are a vegetarian, u might end up spending a large expense for food in small restaurants or specialty food outlets that cater to your taste from your home town.

Its best if you can contact your friends who already here n have been realistically accustomed to the 'living expenses' here.

Your pay package, lots of Singaporeans dont even have. So be prepared that competition is tough locally and many will eye your position if u dun work smart enough.

Cheers
