Puteri Khareeza confirms pregnancy as she can't hide baby bump anymore
The 26-year-old singer, who became much more careful after experiencing miscarriage late last year, shared that she is now six months pregnant, after finding out that she was expecting back in March.
"I only found out that I was pregnant when my period didn't come. I did a test and praise be to God, it happened," she said.
The "Suka Sebalik Tawa" singer admitted that she kept the pregnancy a secret at first due to the fact that she experienced miscarriage before.
"But I can't continue to keep it a hush-hush now because it's already big. Walking is already exhausting," she said.
As for the pregnancy, Khareeza said that she did not experience any complications.
Puteri Khareeza married her husband Mohd. Shukor Khamaruddin in February 2024 after four months of getting to know each other through social media.

With a new heritage café in Petaling Street, here's how the duo behind Fluffed and Flurrē built their sweet dreams, one waffle at a time
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 — Step through the doors of this restored shophouse in Petaling Street, and you'll find the unmistakable scent of toasted coconut, tea leaves and fresh waffles wafting from the counter. This is the latest outpost of Fluffed Café & Dessert Bar, a brand that has quietly grown into a beloved fixture of the Klang Valley dessert scene. Here heritage meets modernity as they pay homage to Malaysia's kopitiam culture with creations like the Roti Baker Waffle, just in time for Merdeka celebrations. Picture burnt coconut butter, pandan crémeux and salted coconut cream. Topped with Hailam Tea ice cream and crisp coconut flakes, the confection reimagines our local breakfast staple with a playful, modern twist. Interior of the new Petaling street outlet (left). Fluffed founders Joe Fong and Charles Choong (right). — Picture courtesy of Fluffed Café & Dessert Bar Joe Fong, one of the founders, shares, 'It's not just a dessert; it's our interpretation of traditional breakfast, reimagined for the plate. We wanted to offer flavours that Malaysians grew up with — only now, they're plated like art.' The juxtaposition of the old and the new mirrors their approach to expansion. Indeed, the charming old building has splendid views of the towering Merdeka 118 — a reminder that tradition and ambition can rise side by side. 'This space gave us a chance to reflect on our roots while trying something different,' Fong says. Before venturing into new territory, however, Fluffed was simply the dream of two self-taught bakers: Fong, 37, a designer-turned-cake artist, and Charles Choong, 35, a food science graduate who once found himself working in a pharmacy on his birthday — a day that would prompt a life-altering pivot. 'That was the moment I realised I couldn't keep pushing my passion aside,' Choong says. 'A few weeks later, I bought an oven.' Customers at Fluffed Sunway Mentari; there currently are four Fluffed outlets. — Picture courtesy of Fluffed Café & Dessert Bar Fong had already been baking custom cakes for events, often designing them with the same artistic flair he applied to interior spaces. Choong, on the other hand, was drawn to flavour pairing and food textures, developing his own style through experimentation and instinct. 'We weren't trained chefs, but we cared deeply about how things tasted,' Fong explains. 'And we shared this stubborn desire to do everything properly — no shortcuts.' Their first café opened in 2015 in Taman Paramount, back when the area was far quieter. With no investors or viral campaigns behind them, they built everything from the ground up: ice creams, sauces, waffles, cakes — all handcrafted in-house. Choong recalls their humble start: 'There were days we barely had enough orders to get through the week. But we just kept going, recipe by recipe.' Rose Lychee Cloudcake (left). Snoopy & Peanut Waffle (right). — Picture courtesy of Fluffed Café & Dessert Bar Among their early hits was the Rose Lychee Cloudcake, a light sponge layered with floral cream — a nod to Choong's early experiments in home baking. Then came the now-iconic Snoopy & Peanut Waffle, slathered with thick roasted peanut sauce made entirely from scratch. Fong says, 'We grew up eating peanut snacks from kedai runcit. This was our version of that memory, only toasted, plated, and drizzled just right.' Over time, their waffles became a customer favourite, despite starting out as a supporting menu item. 'We didn't expect it to be the thing we were known for,' Choong admits. 'But people kept coming back for them — so we listened.' Today, Fluffed has four outlets; besides the original Taman Paramount shop and their latest in Petaling Street, they also have branches in Sunway Mentari and Desa Parkcity. Flurrē by Fluffed is dedicated to 'bingsu' (Korean shaved ice) such as their viral sensation, the Salmon Sashimi Don. — Picture courtesy of Fluffed Café & Dessert Bar If Fluffed is the comforting embrace of warm desserts, Flurrē by Fluffed is its cooler, cheekier cousin — dedicated to bingsu (Korean shaved ice). Located in Taman Universiti, PJ, it serves as a playground for the duo's more whimsical ideas. Choong says, 'Shaved ice gave us the space to experiment with colour, texture, and presentation. It's dessert with a bit more mischief.' One of Flurrē's creations — the Salmon Sashimi Don bingsu made from jelly, not fish — went unexpectedly viral online. Though it began as a joke item, customers latched onto its playful presentation. Still, the team stands firm in their commitment to quality, even for their more light-hearted desserts. Consider their whimsical CheeseCubes — literally cubes of cheesecake (strawberry, yuzu lemon or 72 per cent dark chocolate) layered with baked hanjuku cheese and sponge cake.

So refreshing! 'Every syrup, every topping is made in-house,' Fong says. 'We treat it with the same seriousness as any cake or waffle.' While other cafés chase trends or rapid growth, Fong and Choong have chosen a more deliberate path. 'We don't build menus based on what's trending — we trust our taste buds and our instincts,' says Fong. 'If it doesn't taste good to us, we won't serve it.' This admirable philosophy doesn't preclude the duo from keeping the brand's top of mind recall with seasonal waffles — such as the Martabak Cheese Waffle during Ramadan and Hari Raya, or their Nian Gao Waffle for Chinese New Year — as well as new merchandising such as T-shirts, tumblers and tote bags.

Regular training and team building outings exemplify this commitment. 'We want to open new outlets not just to grow the business, but to create better roles for our staff,' Choong shares. 'Some of them started as part-timers, and now they're team leads. That's what keeps us going.' After nearly a decade in business, Fong and Choong don't speak in terms of KPIs or virality. Instead, their pride is in the quiet moments: a regular customer bringing their grown-up children to share a favourite waffle; a staff member mastering a new recipe. Fong says, 'Some families have brought their kids here since they were toddlers. Now those same kids order waffles for themselves.' Fluffed's team building outings exemplifies the owners' focus on people over profits. — Picture courtesy of Fluffed Café & Dessert Bar Their success may not have come in a flash — but it came honestly, and with flavour. 'We're still here because we never rushed it,' Choong reflects. 'And because we still care — about every plate, every customer, every detail.'

Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article. This means the info may not always match what's in the article. Reporting mistakes helps us improve the experience. Generate Key Takeaways Apple TV+ is kicking off the month of August with a slate of new shows that couldn't be more different from each other — and that's part of what makes this month for the platform so exciting. From an epic Hawaiian historical drama starring Jason Momoa to a star-studded K-pop competition series, there's something here for almost any type of viewer. In this post, we're taking a closer look at four of the biggest Apple TV+ series to stream this month. The lineup blends history, comedy, sci-fi, and music, giving subscribers a taste of everything Apple's streaming service does best. It's also a reminder that Apple is quietly building one of the most eclectic libraries in streaming, full of prestige dramas and buzzy originals. And we'll start by taking a look at Momoa's new project, an action-heavy historical drama that should appeal to fans of the actor's previous work on shows like "Game of Thrones." Read more: 6 Apple TV+ Shows That Are So Good, I Wish I Could Enjoy Them For The First Time All Over Again Chief Of War (August 1) "Chief of War" is a retelling of the unification and colonization of Hawaii at the turn of the 18th century, featuring an ensemble cast that includes Momoa plus Luciane Buchanan, Temuera Morrison, Te Ao o Hinepehinga, and Cliff Curtis. The show, co-created by Momoa and Thomas Pa'a Sibbett and based on true events, follows a warrior named Ka'iana (played by Momoa) as he tries to unify the islands before their colonization by outside forces. Momoa and Sibbett both share native Hawaiian heritage; as a result, "Chief of War" is very much "a passion project" for them, in Apple's words. Two episodes are already available to stream on Apple TV+, and the show currently has a 90% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes — where the critics' consensus summary currently notes that the series is "a brutal epic that recreates Native Hawaiian history with commendable authenticity." According to data from Samba TV, 485,000 U.S. households watched the debut episode during the "L+2D window," meaning either live or within two days after the debut's arrival. Per Samba, "That means 'Chief of War' was one of the more popular Apple TV+ releases this year, outpacing 'The Studio' premiere by 70% and coming within 1% of 'Your Friends & Neighbors" (season one, episode one)." Platonic: Season 2 (August 6) Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are back in "Platonic," an underrated Apple TV+ comedy that aims to prove friendship in your 40s isn't impossible — but that it's also as messy and hilarious as ever. And that, yes, men and women can be platonic friends with each other. The pair's chemistry remains the soul of the show, as their characters navigate midlife hurdles like work stress, weddings, and relationship chaos. "Platonic" returns for its sophomore season on August 6, dropping the first two episodes before settling into a weekly release, and new guest stars this season include Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett, and Milo Manheim. I'll have a separate preview of the new season, but for now, "Platonic" is definitely one of Apple's better attempts at a low-stakes but highly enjoyable sitcom. It doesn't make some grand attempt at prestige TV; each episode is just a fun half-hour of TV. Nothing more, nothing less. Invasion: Season 3 (August 22) Here's one for the sci-fi fans out there. Apple's "Invasion" is essentially an alien invasion story where the emphasis is on how humanity reacts to an outside threat, as opposed to the show primarily focusing on that alien threat itself. From Simon Kinberg and David Weil, season three finds the alien threat evolving and the scattered survivors of Earth's first contact with extraterrestrials finally coming together for a hair-raising mission — infiltrating the alien mothership. According to Apple's official summary of the new season, apex aliens have now emerged and are spreading their tendrils across the globe. As a result, this season ramps up the stakes considerably on the latest Apple TV+ sci-fi standout, starring Golshifteh Farahani and Shioli Kutsuna. One of the things that Apple's streamer does better than almost all of its rivals is produce top-tier sci-fi content, and "Invasion" is no exception to that rule. The first episode of the 10-episode Season 3 debuts on August 22, with one episode each week thereafter. KPOPPED (August 29) Finally — in case you couldn't tell by the dominance of everything from the success of Netflix's "KPop Demon Hunters" to the worldwide love for Korean superstars BTS — K-pop is... kind of having a moment. Apple TV+ has already dipped its toe in these waters via its 2024 docuseries "K-Pop Idols," and it's now poised to do it again -- albeit, this time, with a music competition series. Closing out Apple's August release slate is the eight-part "KPOPPED," a spectacle-driven cultural mash-up hosted by Soojeong Son that pairs Western music icons with some of the hottest K-pop groups. The goal: To reimagine familiar hits in the format of a head-to-head battle. Picture TLC teaming up with ITZY, or Boyz II Men collaborating with ATEEZ, as they deliver genre-bending performances for a live audience in Seoul that votes for the winner. Executive produced by Lionel Richie and Megan Thee Stallion (who also stars here), "KPOPPED" features PSY, Kesha, J Balvin, Kylie Minogue, and more. All episodes drop August 29.

Microsoft employee slammed for time spent on breaks and grabbing snacks in viral workday video
Working hard — or hardly working? Mansi Singhal, a 24-year-old software engineer, has gone viral several times over after she revealed what a day in her life at a Microsoft office — where she works in Hyderabad, India — looks like in an Instagram reel. Between a 45-minute breakfast break, a dessert run and a quick gaming interlude, Singhal's representation of office life has many people baffled and wondering when she gets any work done — while being simultaneously jealous of the wild variety of snack offerings. Social media users analyzed her video intensely, and given the timestamps included, many suspect that her day is made up of more breaks than the average office worker. One commenter suggested that 'the most generous read is 6h15m of work and 3h10m of breaks,' though others thought that was quite a benevolent take indeed — and guessed Singhal's actual work time was just around three or four hours. Modern tech and Silicon Valley-style offices have garnered reputations for wild office environments, with many buildings offering amenities ranging from free lunch to cold brew on tap to hammocks to relax in — but social media users seem to think Singhal's daily in-office routine takes the madness to the next level. 'This woman started her lunch at 1:00 and didn't resume work until 2:15? Unless she's trying to eat an entire ham by herself, that's crazy,' one X user wrote. 'The 'adult day care' label is more than earned. I'm surprised there's no designated nap time.' 'I would be SO fried there. Pretending to work is more stressful than actually working,' continued the same user, referring to the 'ghostworking' trend sweeping across burned-out Gen Z corporate employees — AKA, fake it 'til you make it. Some users have stumbled across the video have also wondered how Singhal has managed to hold onto her job — especially amid the tech company's recent layoffs, which impacted 9,000 employees — but the software developer recently posted on her Instagram account, celebrating two years at Microsoft, so she must be doing something right. 'This is the schedule of a hard worker at Microsoft,' vouched a former employee under a post on X. 'The slackers are coming in at 11 and leaving at 4.' In a post made since she shared the viral day in the life video, Singhal did admit that she tends to show the 'good side of dev life,' and said that it tends to be a lot more chaotic and difficult than it seems through the screen. Other Microsoft 'day in my life' style videos have gone viral over the years, indicating that despite what Singhal's post suggests, software engineers do actually work. With all the amenities, flexible working opportunities and breaks taken throughout the day, some social media users have labeled office environments like Singhal's 'actual adult daycare,' but other corporate employees say this kind of treatment is the bare minimum, especially in an era where many jobs can be done from home. 'For full RTO, if they want workers to go back to pre-COVID, the office needs to go pre-COVID too,' one X user explained, emphasizing that the right benefits are a big push in boosting in-office attendance. The Post has reached out to both Microsoft and Singhal for comment. Solve the daily Crossword
