    For around 2000, you can get a decent 2 BHK HDB in Jurong / Bukit Batok area.
    Apartment hunting in Singapore is mostly done through registered real estate agents, who act as the broker between landlord and tenant. Even the rental agreement will go through them only. Their charge is usualy 1 month rent or 0.5 month rent, depending on the lease tenure (1 yr / 2 yr)

    Further, you would need to pay 1.5 months (normally) rent as a deposit to the landlord.

    Apart from these agents, you can also look for listings in Craigslist and Gumtree for apartments. However, be aware that there are fake listings on both sites that look to swindle money.

    I got mine through a real estate agent (ERA Realty) and it has worked well for me so far.

    Oh..its a short term stay huh? Yeah, then it could be difficult to rent an entire apartment for 2 months, unless the owners need to be out on vacation / short term visit etc. Yup, in that case renting a room would be a sensible option. I dont know much about that though. Suggest you look at listings on Craigslist and GumTree where these sort of vacancies would be posted.
