Joakim Gomez celebrated his birthday with a very special guest

Turns out, the 987 DJ, who turned 35 on July 22, shares the same birthday as Tik-Tok pawfluencer, Cooper.

The adorable goldie, who just turned four, met up with his "biggest fan" on their special day, where he got all the love and cuddles he could wish for.

Joakim, too, had a fruitful day hosting the NDP rehearsal show after the short meet-up with his new furpal.

Speaking of NDP...

Kit Chan released her remake of the classic National Day song.

"I’ve done a remake of “Home” on its 25th anniversary, with the blessing of Dick Lee and the wonderful support of its original producer Sydney Tan. It feels right to do it on this double milestone year (Home’s 25th and my 30th)," wrote the singer. 

She continued: " I don’t know how the generations of Singaporeans who grew with this song might feel about this more introspective and personal interpretation of “Home”. I hope that they will like it, or allow for it. For better or worse, it is my own vision of Singapore, and my personal experience of it now."

We can't speak for the whole of Singapore, but trust us when we say this updated version of one of our favourite NDP songs will tug at your heartstrings in a very special way.

Local musician Sandra Riley Tang got engaged

Looks like congratulations are in order for the singer and her personal trainer beau, Ryan Tonge. 

Rriley shared the happy news on IG on July 21, and included a super sweet caption which described the first time they met five years ago.

She also recounted the exact moment Ryan proposed during a "spontaneous trip" to Tioman. Though she had her suspicions, it didn't stop her from being ultra-nervous. 

"I looked through my legs and there you were, on one knee. I’ve ran this scenario in my head many times of how this might happen. But I never imagined I would witness it upside down looking through my legs. The moment has arrived, and it was absolutely perfect," she wrote.

"Leaving delightful memories at every corner," wrote Bonnie in her captions.

Nathan Hartono now takes showers under supervision

Remember when the singer took in a lost cat and held a live stream with it? Well, he was sad to see it go when its owner was eventually found. Since then, we've been kinda hoping that he would get a little fur pal of his own. 

And it looks like Nathan thought the same. 

Sharing this adorable pic he took with his cat, which he brought home about three months ago, Nathan wrote: "Somebody found himself a new lil perch and it’s made showers 75% more entertaining."
