Jaymee Ong (Wong Suk Mei) 

Name : Jaymee Ong 
Date of Birth  : 21-11-1979 
Height  : 5"7 
Measurements  : 34"25"35" 
Nationality : Chinese - Australian 
           

  First there was Michelle Saram, who shot to fame in a TV ad for 
pagers with superstar Aaron Kwok. Then came Lee-Ann, who scored in 
a mobile phone ad campaign with Leon Lai.  Now, the latest local model
to get international attention is gorgeous Jaymee Ong, undoubtedly 
one of the hottest girls on the scene.

  Already a veteran cover girl in Singapore, this Australian born 
19-year-old caught the soulful eyes of Aaron Kwok when he saw her 
in a fashion spread in the August issue of CLEO.  So enthralled was 
he that the Heavenly King not only decided to use her in his music 
video, he also got her into a lucrative Pepsi ad campaign.  "I was 
doing a shoot for CLEO when I found out about the job with Aaron Kwok. 
I didn't know who he was until Sally (CLEO's fashion editor) told me," 
says she.  "He was never intimidating.  He introduced himself and said 
‘I saw your pictures in CLEO and got my manager to track you down.' We 
talked for an hour about everything, from Australia, how he started, 
his cars - he's into car."

  Jaymee says, "It's not my biggest paycheque but he's definitely the 
biggest star I've ever worked with."

  It all started for her when she took her younger sister to get her 
ears pierced at a hair salon in Australia when a famous photographer, 
who worked at the salon, offered to take her picture.  For a free 
haircut, she agreed. Then the manager of a modelling agency in 
Australia loved her pictures and put her on a cover - she was only 15.

  Four years on, she's gone on to grace more covers in Hong Kong, 
Taiwan, Malaysia, Bangkok and Singapore, earning more than most girls 
her age - or indeed, any age.

  Modelling wasn't the first thing this fiercely inde­pendent young 
women tried, though. At 14, she worked as a waitress, then as a dental 
nurse. At one time she was waitressing, modelling, and schooling. "I 
was very proud of myself.  I bought clothes and make­up with my first 
paycheque. I love shopping!"

  Shopping's not the only thing which gives her a buzz.  She's 
self-confessed workout maniac: "I exercise for two hours a day: 100 
laps in the pool, 500 step-ups, power-walk, sit-ups, lift weights. 
I've been known to come home at 3am and work out till 5am."

  Jaymee's contemplating acting as well - all she needs now is the 
right script and role; after all, she studied Drama and TV for nine 
years. But she's not likely to be warbling up there with Aaron: "I'm 
tone-deaf.  The only time I sing is when I'm in my car … with the 
windows down!"

From September 2004 Newman Mag:

Actress-model Jaymee Ong may be the East's best-kept secret, but not 
for long — she's a foxy lady with Tinseltown dreams, so watch this space... 

Australia has already given the world INXS, croc hunter Steve Irwin, 
boomerangs and loads of other quirky-sounding amusements. But we'd like 
to stake our own claim on one of Down Under's sexiest export, Jaymee Ong, 
25—who we bet has inherited some of those lovely genes from her Singaporean 
dad (in addition to her Australian mum). Also, despite having grown up in 
Australia and lived in Los Angeles since she was 19, this actress-model has 
not forgotten her Asian roots. "I get my friends to put their shoes outside 
when they come over to my place!" she asserts, after declaring her love of 
Asian food and culture. This Brisbanite's career began when she was approached 
to do a hair show for a salon where she'd taken her sister to get her ears 
pierced. A modelling agency then got hold of her photographs and she soon appeared 
in advertisements across Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and Malaysia.
Fortune again smiled on her when a photo in a magazine caught the eye of Hong 
Kong Heavenly King Aaron Kwok, who featured her in his Pepsi commercials and a 
music video. She then signed with Jackie Chan's management company, landing 
parts in movies like Gen-X Cops and Rave Fever. But even Asia is not a big 
enough expanse for this ambitious 1.7m stunner, who has foregone the easy 
promise of fame in Hong Kong, for the uncertainties of Hollywood, where she's 
already scored air-time in a blockbuster or two. While she loves acting, she 
says that it is just a job."What I do is a source of entertainment for someone
 for thirty to 90 minutes," she declares in an accent that suggests 
Ozzie-meets-West Coast USA, "I don't see it as anything more". The very 
opposite of diva, down-to-earth Jaymee has no qualms about picking you up 
either. All you have to do to stand a chance: just respect a lady and don't 
not take longer than her to get dressed! ...........
