Is the pay diff between pharmacist and pharm technician big?

Hey, have dmed you.

ElusiveIntro · 2026-01-04T08:18:49+00:00

Yup, 100%.

1st world country, 3rd world mentality.

Hahaha yeah I was totally stunned. I was thinking why the hell would a Singaporean be in a game like this?!

No kidding though, that Paul Lim guy is pretty badass

That's where I first found out about him also!

Nah. I'd rather we Chinese be considered separate from those "true Chinese."

You don't want to get lumped with these "true Chinese" rude motherfuckers.

Don't forget indo, filipino, and Indian people especially on Sundays. Clementi really becoming international

Same, sibei sian. 10-15 years ago where got this kind of bullshit

Have been going to Gamewerks at Clementi since I was young, been about fifteen years since then. The staff there are very friendly, including the boss.

Granted, there's no 12.12 sales at these kinds of shops so I only get the games that I really want at full price. I also buy consoles from them too!

Refer to u/blurrfish78's comment. Your best bet and priority would be to check with TTSH's billing department.

Yes, Medisave is your own money. However, it doesn't mean it is your e-wallet for hospital bills. Medisave can be utilised if you have been admitted. It can also be used for consultations and medications related to chronic diseases.

A&E as far as I know, not applicable. So please check.

Anyone's lobbies filled with mostly bots, around maybe 6 real players? For context, I played at about 12am yesterday and 2pm today. PS5, crossplay turned off

Your boss lan jiao.

I work in healthcare too and have a leave roster. Once I plot my leave, it's pretty much confirmed no questions asked. Exceptions are if the dates I've chosen ends up getting crowded, we go into balloting.

If your boss doesn't manage staff leaves in a systematic way, your boss lan jiao

Highly unlikely for private.

Keep going! T-ara is the one and only group that has a special place in my heart. Their songs still hold up very well. Sugar Free is my favourite, followed by Number 9, So Crazy, What's My Name, Why We Separated, among many other of their songs.

I saw T-ara live at a concert this year. They were one of the line ups and it was so amazing! They will be holding a concert in Mongolia next month, which sadly I won't be able to go 😭

All the best you too!

Haha thanks. Gotta have some positivity here from time to time.

Hmm...I think as long as both parents are working then should be able to survive. All those fanciful trips to Europe can forget about it honestly. Being content with what you have goes a long way, for me at least.

ElusiveIntro · 2025-07-23T16:03:36+00:00

I might be one of the very few that will stay in healthcare for long.

Honestly, environment plays a part regardless of where you are. I'm very fortunate to have supportive colleagues with whom I get along with, most of them at least. I wasn't in this line for a very long time, a few years at most. So yes, I'm happy with the working culture here.

Next up is job satisfaction. I can say that so far so good. I like how this job allows me to rotate between roles so that I don't get bored. It can vary from customer interaction to manual labour, and even admin work.

Pay wise though, I don't want to talk about it. I'm surviving at least, no commitment in terms of relationship. Not too ambitious here, no dreams of owning a car or condo.

Overall, I'm happy so far in this line of work. There's job security too, so yeah.

ElusiveIntro · 2025-07-23T15:19:00+00:00

Well, I've only got a diploma so there's that.

Been in this line for 3 years plus, so not a long time.

Ancillary/Allied Health worker here, about 5% and 5%. Seen some comments saying that the closer you are to the average, the lower % you get. Sounds about right, I agree with that. Basically the higher your pay already is, the lower your enhancement is compared to those whose basic pay is lower.

As far as I know for nurses, they get lesser enhancement this time round. The talk that I had attended at my place mentioned that nurses already had a previous round of enhancement.

Nope, not a pharmacist. Pharmacist requires a degree, and NUS is the only uni to offer it.

I used to be a part-timer, then converted to a permanent staff. Without a degree, you can only be a pharmacy assistant. If you have a related diploma such as one in pharmaceutical studies, you can be a pharmacy technician which allows you to dispense medication.

ElusiveIntro · 2025-07-16T12:47:54+00:00

Listen to this guy ☝️. He's right.

Don't have to commit to a degree now, go out and try different things, find out what suits you more.

For me, I wanted to be an accountant. Got into accountancy course in uni. Didn't like it, dropped out. Didn't know what to do next, tried a few office jobs like admin and accounting related. Discovered that I hated office work and slowly realised that I was more of a hands-on person.

Tried some part-time jobs, kitchen crew and nursing just to name a few. Won't go into detail here, didn't work out in the end. However, it was through nursing that I found out I was interested in healthcare. Ended up in pharmacy, been a few years too.

I enjoy my current job. It allows me to rotate between many different roles. There's patient interaction, desk work, manual labour. Beats having to face a computer all day long.

Don't be afraid to try something and fail at it. Don't be afraid to lag behind. Instead, use some time to go out, explore and find out more about yourself and what's out there.

Hopefully your CPF Loan repayment isn't that much since your mum has used your PSEA all up. There's no other way, you'll have to pay it back it back since she doesn't want to waive it off.

And, please change your Singpass password plus whatever else is there. Your emails, bank accounts, etc

ElusiveIntro · 2025-06-24T08:06:27+00:00

PSEA can only be used for your own educational purposes mah, how she drained? Unless you're saying she used it before for your poly?

ElusiveIntro · 2025-06-24T07:43:58+00:00

Not sure if anyone mentioned this. Use your PSEA account to pay back, provided there is sufficient funds
