KUALA LUMPUR: For the first time, comedian and entrepreneur Shahmira Muhamad or Shuib is not celebrating his birthday jointly with his soul mate, the late singer Siti Sarah Raissuddin.
Shuib, who turned 37 yesterday, always celebrated his birthday with his wife of 10 years, who would have turned 37 on Wednesday.
"It's a real difference on my birthday this year, for I'm celebrating without my soul mate for the first time. I miss her so much," said Shuib in an Instagram post yesterday.
"Thank God for all your blessings throughout these 37 extraordinary years."
Shuib's post was accompanied by a photo of him with his three older children Uwais Alqarni, 10, Dzahira Talita Zahra, 8 and Ariq Matin, 6 at a waterfall somewhere in the Klang Valley.
It is learnt that Shuib celebrated his birthday there, since the Klang Valley is now in Phase 2 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP).
Shuib's post received more than 300,000 likes and many fellow celebrities such as Elly Mazlein, Ajak of Shiro and Sharif of Zero wished him a happy birthday.
Siti Sarah died of Covid-19 on Aug 9 at the intensive care unit of Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in Cheras, three days after giving birth prematurely to their fourth child Ayash Affan.
Meanwhile, Shuib said that he was looking forward to meeting Ayash at the hospital today, and vowed to raise his children with proper religious education.
"I pray that I will fulfil my late wife's wish, to bring up our children well. I will do my utmost to raise them into successful people. My journey is still a long way, please pray that I will always be strong for them," said Shuib in his Instagram post.
