Mr Jaycee Ong, 32, an instrumentation engineer in the petrochemical industry, likes nothing better than to get into the groove.

His main interest is dancing, and weekends will see him at clubs, moving to R&B or hip hop music. In the last few years, Jaycee has learned to take life a little easier.

"I used to be a workaholic," says Jaycee, a former navy technician. The turning point came when a ship he had worked on collided with a tanker. Several of his juniors died in the accident.

Although he was not on that ship as he had left the navy by then, the accident left a searing impact on him. "I suddenly realise that life is short. If you want to do something, do it. Don't wait until it's too late," he says.

Jaycee was already passionate about dancing in his student days, but could not devote time to it after graduating because of "work, work, work".

"I used to watch MTVs in the 80s, seeing the likes of Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul and Bobby Brown. From there, it was 'monkey see, monkey do', he said, explaining how he got hooked on dancing.

Now back to dancing with a vengence, Jaycee says a month ago, a friend who needed a male dancer to take part in a dance competition asked him to join her group.

Jaycee is also saving for a trip to Japan at the end of the year. "I would like to travel more and get to know more friends from other countries," he says.

Ms Kelley Yang , 25, is a training specialist in an American software company. A Chinese national and a Singapore permanent resident, Kelley has been living here for 7 years.

She conducts software training for the hospitality industry, and this requires her to travel frequently to hotel clients around the region.

"Sometimes I travel for two months non-stop. I would say 80 per cent of my working time is on the road," says Kelly, who travels frequently to countries like China, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.

"I think I have been lucky to get a job I love with a decent salary. Do I like my job? Oh yeah, just loving it!"

She also gets a kick when people tell her she is too pretty to be an IT person. "I have the brains and the looks!" she quips.

Kelley has been in the current job for about two years, and while the short-term goal is to become a better trainer, she says the long-term goal is to move to something that requires less travelling, like sales and marketing.

"You're not going to travel all the time," she explains. "If I get married five years later and have children, I can't keep travelling."
