| Wish for the New Century What's Jennifer's wish for the new century? Not for herself but for her beloved parents, she's planning to buy a nice villa for them. As a professional pool player, Jennifer constantly travels around the world to play all kinds of tournaments. In the past few years, she even had to spend most of the times in the States. Thus, there wasn't really much time for her to accompany with the family. Because of her efforts for these years, she does have some savings from either prize money of the games or remuneration by representing for some products. "Family's financial situation wasn't very good when I was a child. We discussed over and over when attempting to buy a house. I remember my parents once mentioned about a villa of their own," said Jennifer. Therefore, she has been thinking about completing this wish for her parents.
