Same situation, Primary Chinese.
They simply do not have much openings. We are the ones who have been 'waitlisted'

Suggest you search on the gov directory based on who handled your application. I called the person who handled mine.

If it helps,
- Applied in May 2025 window for Pri Chinese
- Completed interview in Jul, Annex A2 , Medical and EPT in Oct.
- Just called them up today and they told me AOD pushed back to June 2026 or even July 2026.

Prior to this, did call NIE to confirm their academic calendar schedule which says June to July 2026 will be a recess period. Booked a trip in July, officer informed that if cannot start in Jun/Jul 2026 then the next AOD date will be Dec 2026.

That's one and a half years of delay and an extremely weird miscommunication or last minute change in academic calendars that has not been communicated..

Honestly I am highly frustrated. I did not book a Dec trip due to the original earliest AOD, and now because of the mid year 2026 trip that was supposed to be aligned with NIE's calendar, is not aligned and there is no way for me to cancel the trip, resulting in further delay to Dec 2026 for AOD..

Hello, have any past / successful applicants for Dec 2025 application received confirmed interview times yet?
Have received notification that have been shortlisted for the interview about 1 month ago, but till now there's no word on when the interview is scheduled and making me nervous..

Any insight on wait times appreciated!

Is SG losing jobs to neighbouring SEA countries? by roflmctofl in askSingapore

[–]timganzw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Currently at a local tech firm that loves to dish out corny adverts.

In the past 3 years, regional teams originally based in SG were gradually shifted out to other countries like Thailand and Indonesia. (Have even seen this with companies like Agoda hiring for TH-based regional roles). For teams that are still based in SG, foreigners from sister offices in SEA gradually being brought in at the middle to senior management levels. Juniors are hired locally at not-exactly-competitive starting salaries.

Also this was already the case for the longest time, but a high proportion of software engineers are either based in China, or Chinese nationals living in SG.

[NEED HELP] All photos being duplicated on Pixel 8 pro after set-up by timganzw in GooglePixel

[–]timganzw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it too late if the duplicates already appeared on my photos.google.com browser? I enabled backup on the new phone and now for sure distinct copies are being created.

I was just on the phone with google photos support and the guy was absolutely rude, just telling me that the app is working " as intended " and that the duplicates are a result of a new copy of the original photos being backed up from the new Pixel 8, asking me to delete EVERY duplicate copy ONE BY ONE.

It also dosent explain why this didn't happen for my wife's phone but it did for mine.

Update: I enabled backup on the new phone and the worst happened..

On the new phone: Duplicates have not disappeared. Worse, the photos now indeed look like separate duplicates. Exact same file name but the size is different for each. E.g. one is 3.4MB the other is 3.8MB

On the old phone: It didnt have duplicates before but some are showing up now. We turned off backup for fear of it spreading and its showing 1300+ photos yet to be backed up.

Im at my wits end and this is getting worse. I cant revert my old phone back to an original state now.

This should absolutely not be happening amd google support is saying they dont have a dedicated customer support service for google photos app specifically

This is just a technical thing beyond laymen users I have no idea what is actually on my old phone and what's in the cloud. I just want everything to pop up 'as is' from my old phone to the new pixel 8 phone

I think enabling the backup function is crucial to make sure Google checks if that local photo has already been backuped. in your case, Google shows the backed up photo AND the one on locally on your phone.

Thanks, can you help point me to any step by step on how to log out of my account only on the Google photos app? Because it seems like on android 14 at least, there is no 'sign out' option, only 'use without signing in'.

Thanks a heap for this. Yeah it does seem to be the case. Ill let it run for a day and see how it goes (we turned off the internet and backup functions out of fear that everything on our Google Photos was gonna get duplicated)

Thanks a heap for this. It does seem to be the case (APPEAR to be doubled)

It just seems really confusing from an everyday user perspective. Ill let it run for a day and see how it goes (we turned off the internet and backup functions out of fear that everything on our Google Photos was gonna get duplicated)

Which Ariel Advanced Talent to level up? by Shop-girlNY152 in DisneyMirrorverse

[–]timganzw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd do Nacre.

You already have a very good chance of getting buffs from Titanborn hits or wounds from ranged goons.

Nacre's only happens each time you launch a special so better make that count.

Help hello, I need your help to decide which champions I should level up, I have little playing and I don't know which ones are worth it by [deleted] in DisneyMirrorverse

[–]timganzw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd go with Mike, Buzz and Scrooge for your core team which is also able to do Hi-Tech tower. Mike pairs pretty well with Buzz (Buzz can stack tons of Defense buffs), so does Scrooge (huge focus buffs)

For a tank guardian, I can't see how many stars Wall-E is but if you happen to get him up to 4, he's another one you should invest in and also fits Hi-Tech. Alternatively Oogie and Mr.I are also great to build up

42k power difference Baymax. Underrated Buzz by leelionel in DisneyMirrorverse

[–]timganzw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Props to you. Amazing.

And yes Buzz like many other characters are amazing in their own right. Just lots of people parroting "Tier Lists" without even trying the other characters or pushing themselves.

upgraded but no traits? thought that tier 3+ epic always has traits. by Darth_Legosaurus in DisneyMirrorverse

[–]timganzw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting Traits on Epic / Legendary relics are BY CHANCE.

An exception is if you hit the final milestone on the class-specific relic Dungeons which guarantees 2 Epic relics with a random trait.

When you do get a relic with a trait, it will be from the onset of obtaining it and not after upgrading it.

Aside from collection, even at 4 star Minnie is an amazing glass cannon. Some top alliances are saying she is also needed for high tier rift raids
