Becoming Angelina Jolie

Saturday June 2, 2007

And early one morning, there I stood in front of Hotel S carrying an early morning fragrance. The kick-off meeting did what it was trained to do – gave me full momentum to go forward and raise some money for people who are about to die – perhaps try and save one of a million. This time it was different – before it was just taking a step forward on the road; this time it was taking a step into doing some good, giving back to the society, and supporting complete strangers. This was my opportunity to be a celebrity like Angelina Jolie, only a lot bigger (only regards with size).

Jack was about to die 9 years ago. And just yesterday he gave away his daughter at her beautiful blossoming wedding. He cried.
