Past emoji updates have included a plain bagel upgraded to one with cream cheese, as well as a pregnant man for inclusive additions to represent transgender pregnancies.

A police report was made by the couple on Saturday afternoon, shortly after the incident occurred at around 2.39pm. Didn't manage to snag a ticket to Jacky Cheung's concert in 2023? Well, the Hong Kong Heavenly King will stage three encore concerts on three nights in November as part of the same 60+ Concert Tour. Cheung will perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 21, 22, and 23 Nov, with ticket prices – from $168 to $388 – remaining the same as his 2023 concerts.

Cheung will perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 21, 22, and 23 Nov, with ticket prices – from $168 to $388 – remaining the same as his 2023 concerts. Priority sales for KrisFlyer members will be on 2 July from 10am to 11.59pm. As for OCBC cardmembers, priority sales will be on 3 July from 10am to 11.59pm. General sales begin on July 4 at 10am. The concert tour has travelled across Asia and there will be encore shows in cities such as Macau, Kuala Lumpur and Suzhou. On the first night of his 2023 concerts in Singapore, Cheung, 63, performed a front split onstage and talked about how he didn't feel old despite being old. He also made a 'date' with the crowd for another concert in his 70s. Fortunately, Singapore fans won't have to wait that long to watch him in concert again.

With a name like "Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee", this stall at Whampoa Makan Place has a lot to live up to – not to mention it was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand for "good quality" and "good value cooking". Unfortunately, it seems to fall short of expectations, especially if you take a look at the Google reviews. So what went wrong with this plate of hokkien mee? According to a food reviewer, there was an imbalance between the sweet and savoury flavours, and the prawn stock's characteristic brininess was frustratingly faint. There was also a notable lack of wok hei and pork lard was only served upon request. To find out more about the disappointing Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee, read here. Apple's week-long Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicked off on Monday (9 June) with a keynote and here are all the highlights. The announcements aren't that splashy but the biggest one is probably the new iOS 26, which brings with it the largest software design overhaul for Apple since iOS 7 in 2013. All new Apple devices will get a new look dubbed "Liquid Glass" – one that was inspired by the Vision Pro's translucent software display. The new design will feature see-through visuals that appear to have a glossy surface. The new iOS 26 also marks the start of a new OS naming convention for Apple. The name of Apple's operating system typically increases by 1 each year, but it'll now be OS 26 for all of their devices. This brings the naming convention in line with the year in which customers will use it. Apple Intelligence is also getting some updates with the biggest announcement being that it'll open up its on-device AI model to third-party app developers. It'll also use the technology to improve other functions of the phone, such as Apple Maps, which will now remember users' preferred routes and tailor directions for them – which means that your coffee runs will no longer be a detour. However, Apple didn't reveal more on its plans for a more capable, AI-enhanced Siri. This was first announced at last year's WWDC but later indefinitely delayed. For more announcements from the Apple WWDC 2025, read here. A US judge dismissed actor Justin Baldoni's US$400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively on Monday (9 June). Lively had accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her while filming the 2024 movie It Ends With Us, and Baldoni's lawsuit was a response to that. She still seeks unspecified triple and punitive damages, and a March 2026 trial remains scheduled. The judge also dismissed another related $250 million lawsuit from Baldoni against the New York Times for its 21 Dec, 2024 article on their dispute titled "'We Can Bury Anyone': Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine". For more on Justin Baldoni's legal loss and the judge's explanation of the dismissal, read here. A study by the National Institute of Education (NIE) aims to examine how the well-being of girls, who are at greater risk of stress and problematic behaviours, are affected by life in Singapore's top schools. There will be 4,200 secondary school girls recruited from the study. Participants will be recruited from three girls' school and one co-ed school in Singapore. The inclusion of the co-ed school was to recruit a smaller group of boys for comparison, explained the study's lead investigator, Dr Jacqueline Lee Tilley. Researchers have defined a top school as as schools where students consistently perform well in national exams or co-curricular activities. This study is the first of its kind in Singapore and will be conducted over three years, from 2025 to 2028. The four schools were not been named, but The Straits Times understands that Methodist Girls' School is one of them. For more on the NIE study and how it'll be conducted, read here. A Singaporean man was arrested in Johor Bahru on Sunday (8 June) after a road rage incident went viral online. Johor Bahru Utara police chief Balveer Singh told Malaysian media on Monday that the man will remain in remand for four days till 12 June. In an official statement, Singh said, "The suspect does not have a criminal record and tested negative for drugs." Facebook user Vicky Sing, who said she was involved in the incident with her boyfriend, uploaded short clips of the encounter to her account. One of them showed the Singaporean driver shouting at what seems to be her boyfriend. There were also a clip of the driver kicking her car and another showing the damage to the car. A police report was made by the couple on Saturday afternoon, shortly after the incident occurred at around 2.39pm. The case will be investigated under Section 426 of the Penal Code, for mischief and damaging property and Section 509 of the Penal Code, for insult of modesty.

Apple Music Gets 3 New Features With iOS 26: WWDC 2025 Recap
Apple Music in iOS 26 Apple's latest iOS 26 update for iPhone brings a slew of changes to system apps. It makes the Photos app usable again and includes new features within Messages, Wallet, Maps, and more. But with the storm of information, one of the apps that could've gone under the radar during Apple's WWDC announcement is Apple Music. The Cupertino tech giant is supercharging Apple Music with new capabilities. To be specific, Apple is adding three new features to its Music app with iOS 26 and here's why they matter. This feature helps you understand the words in your favorite non-English tracks. If you're listening to Spanish country music or a French romantic song, you'll now see the lyrics translated in real time. It's built to make music more accessible and lyrics understandable, regardless of language barriers. The translations appear in a smaller font than the usual lyrics font. I installed the iOS 26 Developer Beta 1 to check if it also translates Hindi songs (Hindi being my primary language) to English. Thankfully, it doesn't. My Bollywood music retains its original lyrics while I can get Gasolina translated in real time. Apple Music's Lyrics Pronunciation does exactly what it says—it teaches you how to sing the lyrics correctly. I'm looking forward to understanding how it works so I can sing along to my favorite non-English and non-Hindi songs without butchering the chorus. Under Settings > Apps > Music, Apple now offers a Lyrics menu. You can choose whether lyrics or pronunciation appears larger when both are displayed. I haven't seen pronunciation in Music so far, but I expect it to roll out to more songs gradually. Automix in Apple Music on iOS 26 can turn your playlists into a DJ-like continuous listening experience. It lives under Settings > Apps > Music > Song Transitions, which replaces the Crossfade toggle. Using time stretching and beat matching, Apple Music now transitions between songs like a DJ would. It can theoretically remove silences between song transitions and deliver a clean, flowing vibe to your playlist. Automix is stated to transition songs 'at the perfect moment, based on analytics of the key and tempo of the music.' You can still find and toggle Crossfade just below Automix. All of these new Apple Music features will come to supported iPhones with the iOS 26 update.
