if you want to play a monk, ditch the 1 level of rogue. you can just bash open doors and locks. you have enough hp to withstand trap damage.

i had a monk as well though not with such extreme stats. but i did give him high strength (17 starting, upgraded to 18 as soon as possible). your main weapon as a monk is your stunning attack. this is part of the reason why people give their monks as high as possible a wisdom stat (to increase % chance of stun). but you should also give your monk the highest attack stat that you can to maximise the number of times that you try to stun the enemy. I'd drop some Dex and put the points into Str.

also, i don't really see the point of having 4 levels of fighter at low-mid levels. it doesn't make much difference to your BAB, certainly at low levels. At very high levels you'd be using mainly spells and summons to engage the enemy anyway. much better to focus on advancing as a pure cleric.
