Alhamdulillah....

Alhamdulillah, syukur byk2 kpd Allah. Akhirnya siap juga thesis saya dan telah pun saya submit pada hari Isnin yg lepas. Malam sebelum submit thesis tu, saya tidur hampir pukul 4 pagi utk final editing , printing, sorting dan siapkan mana2 yg perlu. Terima kasih byk2 kepada suami saya yg turut berjaga bersama-sama menemani saya dan banyak membantu dari pelbagai aspek di saat-saat critical tu. Terima kasih juga kpd mama saya yg tolong menjaga anak-anak dan memudahkan urusan saya. Di bawah ni sekadar berkongsi acknowledgement yg saya masukkan di first page thesis saya.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

In the name of Allah, the Almighty and Most Merciful. My endless gratitude and thankfulness to Him for all His grace and blessings in making my effort to complete this dissertation possible despite all the challenges and obstacles that I had encountered.

My gratitude goes to my supervisor, Dr Najeemah Mohd Yusof for her kindness and understanding in guiding me throughout the process of completing this thesis. Not forgetting my PLG 501 lecturer, Dr. Zarina Mustafa, who has kindly guided me in understanding research procedures better.

My deepest gratefulness to my dearly loved husband, Norrizal Abdul Razak, who is always there to love, help, support and pray unconditionally in every effort and struggle that I take. Your blessings and understanding mean the whole world to me.

My special appreciation to my beloved Mama and Ba for their never ending prayers, love and encouragement. Not forgetting both my dearest Arwah Ba and Arwah Mak for I believe their love and prayers are still here with me though they are no longer around to cherish my success.

To my darling gorgeous sons, Wildan and Wafriy, to whom this dissertation is dedicated to, my deepest gratitude and thankfulness for your sweet sacrifice and thank you for giving me the insurmountable strength to complete this battle. May this inspire both of you to soar up high to achieve your dreams in future.

My special thanks also go to my dear siblings, in-laws and family for their generous moral support, love and prayers.

Not forgetting all my friends, colleagues and course mates especially Shikin, Azlan and Kumar who have made my journey as a student more meaningful and joyful.

I am indebted to all of you for the rest of my life. May Allah bless us all here and in the hereafter. Ameen.

Bagi saya, saya dah mencuba dan memberi yg terbaik utk thesis ni. Bukan sedikit pengorbanan yg saya lakukan, bukan sedikit masa bersama suami dan anak-anak saya yg telah saya 'curi', bukan sedikit dugaan yg perlu saya lalui, kini saya berserah dan bertawakkal kpd Allah.

Sekarang ni saya cuma menantikan tarikh 26, 27 dan 28 April utk final exam dan juga VIVA (thesis presentation) sebelum berakhirnya perjuangan sementara saya ini. Smg Allah terus memudahkan segala urusan dan perjuangan saya. Ameen...
