Angkasawan negara, Datuk Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, 46, menyambut ulang tahun perkahwinan kelapan bersama isterinya Datin Dr. Halina pada hari ini.

Menerusi sebuah entri di Instagram, Muszaphar telah memuat naik sekeping foto bersama Halina berserta ucapan buat isteri tercintanya itu.

"Hari ini adalah hari ulang tahun perkahwinan kami, sudah lapan tahun kami mendirikan rumah tangga bersama.

"Saya mula-mula mengenali Halina ketika dia masih salah seorang dari pelajar saya di Pusat Perubatan Unversiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM).

"Saya lebih tertarik pada kebijaksanaan berbanding kecantikkan yang dimilikinya.

"Semoga keindahan rumah tangga kami berkekalan selamanya, Amin," tulisnya sebagai kapsyen.

Pic - Our 8th Anniversary today . It has been 8 years since we got married and InsyaAllah till the end of time with more kids to come . Berdoa for more twins ... ? I met Dr Halina during my days in HUKM . She was my student back then . I was attracted to her more of her intelligence rather than her beauty - no pun intended as she was answering all my questions during the clinical rounds . We were 8 years apart which to me is a good gap . When I was selected for my astronaut training in Russia we actually “ broke up “ not knowing what would happen to our relationship. I have always believed in faith . Allah knows best . If it’s meant to be so be it . And Alhamdulillah when I got back to Earth Dr Halina waited for me with open arms . I have never told anyone this but I did dream of her when I was in space which I knew was a sign . 10.10.10 was the day when we decided to tie the knot . And Alhamdulillah it has been a smooth ride so far and we are blessed with 4 beautiful children. May the beauty of our marriage lasts forever . Amiinn ... TQ Everyone for your Doa’s and Wishes . Love As Always ... ? PS - Today is also my 11th anniversary to space . 10.10.07 How time flies . PSS - The only time we could date is when our kids are at school . ?
