Planning to treat Mum to a meal and run errands in Bukit Merah? Here's your chance to save some money. From 9 to 11 May 2025, simply head to 146 Jalan Bukit Merah (yes, the same location as 146 Famous Bukit Merah Ang Ku Kueh), where Liang Ji (梁記) is treating all mothers to a FREE meal!
For those who aren't aware, in Dec 2024, stall owner, Dominic Neo relocated once again from his previous 78A Telok Blangah spot.
The controversial hawker, who decks himself out in a yellow outfit — including glasses and slippers — has many supporters and haters alike. I should know; my articles about him usually attract loads of negative comments.
But one thing's for sure: I admire his gung-ho attitude and willingness to continue cooking and serving the community, despite all the online criticism and stall closures. Others would have given up by now! Try putting yourself in his shoes— it's not easy.
This year, Mother's Day falls on 11 May, which also happens to be the death anniversary of Dominic's mum. He has launched this promotion to say a big thank you to all the aunties and ah ma who have supported him over the past 25 years. He also feels very grateful for all their words of encouragement.
He hopes that children can use this opportunity to spend some quality time with their mothers at Liang Ji 梁記 — something he wished he had done in the past. 'Even though its just hawker food, I'm sure your mum will be contented as long as they have company,' he added.
Mums can take their pick between the Teochew (O.P. S$6) and Fried Oyster (O.P. S$6). If they happen to be chai tow kway lovers, there's also White Carrot Cake (O.P. S$6) and Black Carrot Cake (O.P. S$6) for them to indulge in.
To qualify, just head to Liang Ji 梁記 and order with your mum. Happy feasting!

27 Emoji Heart Meanings and How to Use Them Right
Some might say that the heart emojis are the OGs of the emoji library—a founding father of sorts. They're versatile, useful, sweet, and there are literally over 20 to choose from so there's honestly no limit to the feelings they can help you convey. But like with every other emoji, heart emoji meanings could be different for everyone depending on color, placement, and the overall tone of your text. (For example, 'love you ❤️🔥' and 'love you 💔' feel pretty different, don't they?) That's why we put together this handy (unofficial!) guide to all the heart emoji colors and what each most commonly means. Because even though, sure, ultimately the heart emoji is 'just' a heart, some are more romantic, some are friendly, while others are sympathetic and sometimes downright horny. Context matters, people! And half the fun of emoji decoding is the fact that it is so subjective and there are so many possible interpretations. Quick disclaimer before we get into it: A lot of this is in the eye of the beholder. If your fave heart emoji is the orange heart, don't let our less-than-rave review stop you from using it to your heart's desire (pun intended). If, in your relationship, the red heart means 'It's sexy time' and the pink heart means 'let's cuddle,' by all means, keep doing you. This guide is simply based on our experiences and opinions based on what we, as Cosmo, see on social media and in daily conversations. Besides, like all language, emoji meaning and usage can shift over time, so these meanings are not set in stone. Ultimately you can use whichever heart emoji you want, whenever you want. Below is just what we recommend. Ready to get into it? Here's our interpretation of what each heart emoji really means, and when it use it for maximum impact. Blue hearts have bro energy. Something about the classic collegiate tone of a royal blue is extremely, 'What's better than this? Just guys being dudes.' This isn't because blue is a gendered thing but more because the blue heart implies a sort of shallow friendship. You don't send a blue heart to anyone you trust with your emotional baggage. You send it to the homies you see once a month or that girl you promise you'll get brunch with 'one of these days.' Good for: Group chats when you have nothing to add, texting your parents when they check in, randos who DM you on Instagram in a nonsexual context. Bad for: Eh, it's hard to misuse this one, TBH. This is a very Gentle™️ energy, most likely to be used in a familial relationship, friendship, or a romantic thing that's moving into friendship territory. This emoji sees the most action around Mother's Day, conversations with your grandma, and other friendly and supportive figures. Good for: New relationships where you want to show affection without fear of coming on too strong or when you're sending to family members. Bad for: Anyone you've ever seen naked or would like to see naked eventually. This is good all-purpose heart to make your signature, particularly if you consider purple to be your color. Alternatively, if you see this cropping up in a family group chat, it could be related to your grandpa's Purple Heart. Thank you for your service, soldier. The two wildly different translations mean that the purple heart is chaotic. Use at your own risk. Good for: Loving purple; all-purpose, generic heart emoji situations. Bad for: Being sexy. (It's a little too cutesy, you know?) The white heart looks clean, minimal, potentially bridal, and, yeah, kinda sterile. At its best, it is a good, bland heart, good for wedding stuff. This is far different from number 7, the heart outline emoji, as this one is a filled-in, dimensional white heart, making it way more, well…intentionally white. Good for: Wedding things, generic expressions of affection and/or support, or captioning ~aesthetic~ photos of decor along with some other monochrome black-and-white emoji palette. Bad for: Not being boring (sorry). Okay so the flat red heart is actually part of the suit of cards collection and was once pretty much only ever used accidentally. However, in recent years, it has kinda become the new classic red heart. To the extent that, like, if you're using the OG red heart for red heart purposes, you may look a little out of the know. Good for: Sending the love and good feelings of the original red heart emoji, but this one is cooler now. Bad for: Any situation in which you wouldn't have used the original red heart. Does this one technically count as a heart emoji? Unclear. But look, there are hearts involved so on the list it goes! This cute little guy is all about heartfelt, unapologetic love–of pretty much any variety. Send this one to your mom, your bestie, your lover, a casual friend who pays you a particularly endearing compliment. Spread this baby far and wide, honestly! Good for: Cutesy yet sincere declarations of love, gratitude, and/or affection. Bad for: Impassioned declarations of real-deal passion. Otherwise, hard to go wrong with this baby. Anyone who is familiar with Fearless-era Taylor Swift (whether you were there IRL or have seen archival footage on TikTok) knows this gesture. And, hi, now it exists in emoji form. The vibe here is very cute, potentially flirty, definitely fearless, and, above all else: sincere, damn it! Good for: Your Fearless era, low-key expressions of sincerity. Bad for: Literally nothing. Just send it! The outlined heart emoji is a bit more difficult to find (you're likely to find it using your keyboard's control + command + space bar function, but scrolling for it is another story). The outline heart mostly gets a lot of play as a copy-paste heart, meaning it's v intentional…and as such, too intentional to be used willy-nilly. Good for: Being Ariana Grande, aesthetic ~love~, being 21 and under, showing your friends how much you love them. Bad for: Casual relationships or relationships you're trying to seem casual about. The anatomical heart is the perfect combination of cute and creepy, for those who are into that sort of thing. If you're like, a science nerd in love with another science nerd, this one's for you. Good for: Med students or friends and lovers with a sense of humor. Bad for: A new relationship, repeated substitution for a red heart, and parents or grandparents (they won't get it). Just like red roses are the most traditionally romantic flower, the red heart is the most traditionally romantic heart. This can also be considered a timeless, platonic-love, support emoji, acceptable to send and receive from anyone during times of grief or loss to show support. However, please see our note above re: the flat red heart kinda replacing this OG one for the time being. Like, this is a good red heart to send to your mom, but maybe not your bestie. Good for: Romantic, platonic, or familial love. Bad for: Playing it cool with a new crush. Arguably among the most overtly sexy emojis, this spicy little number represents a flaming hot passion—a 'burning love,' if you wanna get Elvis with it. This one also carries a certain air of destruction—you might use it to illustrate the kind of so-hot-you-know-it's-destined-to-fail romance that is obvs going to absolutely annihilate your soul but just feels so damn good you can't walk away. (Aka, literally every relationship with a Scorpio.) That said, I'd argue the flaming heart is probably used less often in reference to actual romantic/sexual feelings than sexiness in general. Not unlike its parent, Fire Emoji, the flaming heart is ideal for hyping up a friend in the comments on her latest thirst post or similar displays of sexy-adjacent-but-not-specifically-horny enthusiasm. Good for: Impassioned displays of romantic infatuation and hyping up a friend's hot Instagram post. Bad for: Playing it cool or actually sending to someone you're having/trying to have sex with. It's a little heavy handed, ya know? This is the coward's red heart. Usually deployed by partners whose fingers hover over the red heart but ultimately decide to send a noncommittal version instead. It's too close to the red heart to be an accident and too random of a color to mean anything else other than an affinity for the color orange itself, in which case, WTF, why is orange your favorite color? Are you the Home Depot? Enough. Good for: Bullshit situationships. Bad for: Anything beyond that. A solid all-purpose, platonic heart option, but with a little spunk! Anyone who chooses the bright green heart as their go-to heart emoji has a little chaos coursing through those veins, and, honestly, you love to see it. Good for: Acquaintances, people you know through mutual friends, cool colleagues, and fuck buddies. Bad for: Honestly nothing, TBH. This is a flawless heart emoji. No notes. Sometimes used within BIPOC communities to celebrate Black and brown identities and culture, the brown heart can also be used to just express affinity for brown stuff. Coffee and/or chocolate lovers, this one's for you! Good for: Any use by Black and brown people; liking brown things. Bad for: Use by a white person to show solidarity with their Black and brown friends. Just do a classic red heart to show support. This heart is good for sending witchy vibes or otherwise demonstrating Big Titty Goth Girlfriend energy. Like, I'm dead inside, but in a fun, sexy way. For reference, here's a non-exhaustive list of celebs who may or may not use but definitely embody black heart emoji vibes: Aubrey Plaza, Kat Dennings, Julia Fox, Christina Ricci. Good for: Your Reputation era. Bad for: Anyone who does not exude goth girl energy. Most often used ironically in an 'I'm just giving you shit' way. To deploy a broken-heart emoji in a serious context is a little cringe, as it could be seen as trying to milk guilt out of someone (and FWIW, a phone call is much better for that type of situation). Good for: Giving your partner a hard time if they disappoint you (but a disappointment you'll obviously live through—you just don't want to let them off the hook quite yet). Bad for: Truly expressing a broken heart or shattered expectations. Per its official title, this is the 'Mending Heart' emoji, which seems to suggest it's supposed to show people that you're healing from a breakup or some other form of bereavement, or potentially to express your wishes for a quick recovery to someone else who's going through it. Not unlike the broken heart emoji, however, I'd avoid sending this one to a person who has caused you actual emotional harm, lest it come off like you're trying to guilt them. Good for: Letting friends know you're doing okay (but not like, 100 percent) after a breakup or wishing someone else a swift recovery. Bad for: Sincerely accepting apologies/making amends. A fun, manic-energy heart with über-versatile application. Sprinkle this in with a casual or newish partner you love (but aren't quite in love with yet), friends, family—it's all good! The excitement and giddiness of the exclamation point heart implies you genuinely like the other person's company and are super excited to see them. There's an immediacy to this emoji that makes it perfect to toss in when confirming plans. Good for: Telling someone your ETA when you're meeting up, signing off a 'catching up' session, and setting date plans in place. Bad for: Serious talks. Two static pink hearts are super flirtatious. This is a good entry-level emoji to throw into the mix when you start dating someone. They also have great BFF energy. Very 'you and I until the end of time and no one understands us' vibes. Good for: Dating someone new you're v into, flirty DM slides, and the constant jibber-jabber between you and your BFF. Bad for: Someone you're about to break up with or anyone who you can sense is into you more than you are them—rip off that Band-Aid. This is the Mind-Meld heart—aka when you and someone else are on the same level about something and jinx each other. It's basically the retweet of heart emojis. Good for: Having a heavy talk via text, accepting an apology, forgiving someone, and apologizing to someone yourself. Bad for: Platonic friendships—just send a red heart, omg. You're vibing, you appreciate the other person, and likely one of you just went on an emotional ledge (with good results)! This is a really good apology heart, no matter what end of the apology you're on. It's basically saying 'all is forgiven' or 'I understand and still accept you as you are.' Good for: Apologies, confessions of love, and crushes. Bad for: Platonic friendships—it's just like a weird half-measure when a true red heart will do just as well. Aka the Grinch heart! She's cute, she's vibing! It's a solid fun yet low-stakes heart to throw into pretty much any situation in which you'd otherwise employ one of the more frequently used pink hearts if you're in the mood to mix things up. Good for: An apology tour after terrorizing Whoville or being cute but slightly off-beat. Bad for: Laying low and not attracting attention. Just use the sparkle heart (💖) if you wanna play it cool. Which brings us to... This is like the Neutral Good of heart emoji. It's playful, cute, and twee enough that it doesn't necessarily have heavy romantic implications. You can use this in pretty much any conversation to foster a sense of 'I appreciate you' without being put on an emotional ledge. Good for: Anything, honestly. Bad for: Again, hard to go wrong here. As one of the lesser-used symbols within the heart emoji taxonomy, seeing one of these means you kind of have to read into the meaning of it. Therefore, send with caution, as it likely will be scrutinized by the receiver. While traditionalists would believe it's just a symbol of new love, the reality is that there are so many other heart emoji to symbolize new love that this one gets forgotten. Really, the only thing this heart is truly ideal for is platonic Valentine's Day texts/posts—you know, because Cupid. Good for: Your long-term S.O. of several years where truly nothing is new anymore, generic Valentine's Day well-wishes. Bad for: That platonic friend you've always thought was kind of cute. You're in love, you're in love, and you don't care who knows it! It's the unironic 'my heart is yours for the taking' emoji. Really hard to justify this in any nonromantic relationship. Also has possibly neutral Valentine's Day potential though, on account of kind of looking like a heart-shaped box of chocolates. Good for: If you're totally smitten with someone and they are too, or if it's Valentine's Day. Bad for: If you're not on equal footing in this situationship. Does this one technically count as a Heart Emoji proper? Debatable. But she does boast some cute, old-school romance vibes, no? Toss this one in when you're going for flirty, but not basic. This is the emoji to throw out when you want to leave 'em guessing—but, you know, in a fun way, not a 'Wait, WTF is that?' way. Good for: Adding a low-stakes air of mystery to a flirty exchange. Bad for: Any non-flirtatious context, really. Unacceptable, full stop. There are so many others to choose from. Literally why?

Will baby Alexander Trump Boulos, newest grandchild, make his debut at Trump military birthday parade?
Last month, first daughter Tiffany Trump gave birth to her first son. Will the newest Trump family addition make his public debut at his famous grandfather's birthday celebration? Tiffany Trump, only child of President Donald Trump and Marla Maples, and her billionaire husband Michael Boulos, welcomed their son at 4:44 a.m. Thursday, May 15, 2025, days after Mother's Day. Donald Trump turns 79 on Saturday, June 14, 2025, which is the same day as the U.S. Army's 250th Birthday Parade in Washington, D.C. It's also the day before Father's Day, which is June 15 this year. Tiffany Trump's baby boy, with billionaire husband Michael Boulos, is the 11th grandchild of Donald Trump and the first for Maples, a former model and second ex-wife to the commander-in-chief. Donald Trump and Maples were married from 1993 to 1999. (His first marriage to Ivana Trump − with whom he has three children: Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump − was from 1977 to 1990. He married current wife, First Lady Melania Trump, in 2005. They have one child together, their son Barron Trump). Tiffany Trump, the 31-year-old mom and former model married the 27-year-old businessman Boulos in 2022 at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump's private club and home in Palm Beach, Florida. Throughout her pregnancy, Tiffany Trump shared photos of the "Trump baby bump" and gave her social media followers a peek at the Peter Rabbit-themed baby shower hosted by her older sister, Ivanka Trump. On the day of baby Alexander Trump Boulos' birth, the new mom shared a photo of her hand holding his tiny foot and captioned the image: "Welcome to the world our sweet baby boy, Alexander Trump Boulos. We love you beyond words! Thank you for coming into our lives! 5.15.2025" Several celebrities, Trump family members and well-known public figures posted congratulatory comments, including Elon Musk's mother, Bettina Anderson and Kimberly Guilfoyle, ex-fiancee of Tiffany Trump's brother, Donald Trump Jr. Proud grandmother, Marla Maples or "Grand Mar-Mar" as she has called herself, has posted updates about baby Boulos, particularly his "angel number" birth time of 4:44. But the former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant has not shared any photos of Alexander online. Donald Trump's military parade, which will span six blocks and bisect the National Mall, will take place on Saturday, June 14, in the heart of Washington, D.C. Organizers say the procession will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET. Events from the 250th birthday celebration, including the parade, will be livestreamed on all U.S. Army social media platforms. On May 15, 2025, Tiffany Trump and Michael Boulos welcomed a baby boy, Alexander Trump Boulos. Their son is the 11th grandchild for President Donald Trump and the first for Tiffany Trump's mother, the second ex-wife of Donald Trump, Marla Maples. Here's a list of Donald Trump's grandchildren and their parents: Kai Madison Trump, eldest daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife Vanessa Trump, and the eldest grandchild of Donald Trump Donald Trump III, eldest son of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump Spencer Trump, son of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump Tristan Trump, son of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump Chloe Trump, daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump Arabella Kushner, daughter of Ivanka Trump and husband, former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner Joseph Kushner, son of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner Theodore "Theo" Kushner, son of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner Luke Trump, son of Eric Trump and "Fox News" host Lara Trump Carolina Trump, daughter of Eric Trump and Lara Trump Alexander Trump Boulos, son of Tiffany Trump and Michael Boulos Sangalang is a lead digital producer for USA TODAY Network.
