for staying with me throughout my long and winding PhD journey. My appreciation is extended to my principal supervisor, Prof Mark Western, for welcoming me to his institute with open arms and an open mind. The minimal support offered did make it a little harder for me at times. Nevertheless, my heartfelt thanks go to all my supervisors for their advice, guidance and insightful feedbacks for my thesis. To my extended family overseas, my brother Hong, my sis in law Yang and my lovely nieces and nephews, it is a wonderful feeling to know that you are always there supporting me, rooting for me and looking forward to celebrating this milestone with me.
