I attribute many of my life principles and sweet memories to
My boisterous and loving family

to cope with a sweet (ahem!) daughter like me *grin*, my Ketua Wali Abang Aziz who
likes to have a mature discourse with me, Kak Ma who's been my counsellor and my 2nd
mother, Kak Sham ---> thanx 4 the cheesecakes! and her ever so noisy children, Abang
Halim who used to buy me rose plants, Abang Zaki for financial assistance, Kak Dah
for putting up with me when i lived with her *grin*, Abang Mi my favourite brother
the soul of our family gatherings, my favourite nieces, Lina --> thanx for being
my buddy for the whole of our lives! Gina ---> u never have enough of bullying me, do u?
and to little Syahirah who puts the smile on my face. 
My Maestros
to Mr Hazidi Abd Hamid & Mr Badrul Redzuan for educating
me and opening my eyes to poetry, literary criticism,
philosophy and life in general... and no more Wordsworth!! *grin*
to Prof Lim Chee Seng, Dr Su Soon Peng, Dr Sharmani Peter Gabriel, Pn Sharifah Aishah, Miss Wong,
Dr Carol Leon, Mrs Pillay, English Dept. UM
thanx for guiding me into the world of Literature. Being a literary scholar is something else. From Shakespeare to Naipaul, fr Milton and Donne to Virgina Woolf and Salman Rushdie. And pls be lenient with the marks *grin*
