Family Ranks First for Raymond Lam

Sometimes your background determines your choice. Some people see themselves as the most important. Others will think of their spouse first. Materialism is the most important to some people! When you are very busy, you might start to neglect the most important things or people in your life. Perhaps we'll only know how much we treasure someone or something when we lose them. Being successful in his career and cooking stuff for family at times, how does Raymond value the most important things and people?

Raymond was given a list of 58 items. He had to pick 6 most important things in his life out of the 58 listed items. Raymond mumbled, "Is father the same as mother? I also love my brothers and sisters. Then I have already selected 4 items already?! Wow, ferrarri is in the list of choice! May I change it to another brand?"

After a while, he selected 5 items. He said career is very important. "I'm going to add this item!"

The First Round - Raymond chose Dining with Family, happy family, career, health, travelling and Hong Kong as the most important things in his life

Dining with Family and Happy Family

"My family, including my father, mother, brother and sister, always matters most for me!

Dining with family is also as important as a happy family. I feel very forutnate to be in my family because they love me so much. My parents are considerate and understanding about my busy schedule and my brother and sister also take good care of themselves so that I don't have to worry about them. I treasure this a lot. They stand by me forever.

They understand that I'm busy and won't grumble that I don't have time for them. Hence, I'll dine with them whenever I have some free time to do so. My family is a bit interesting. My daddy is the one who's the best at cooking and cook most meals! If my brother and sister are also at home, we'll go shopping for the meal. I actually enjoy going to the market to buy stuff for dinner! My daddy will cook whatever we buy. I'm very happy in the way it is now.

Career

I stand where I'm at because of my career. I value my career a lot; however if I happen to get a job I don't quite like, I will start to get a bit lazy. I'm really lucky that I get a lot of support from the audience and others within my 10 years in the entertainment industry. In addition to drama, I also got a lot of other opportunities to try out different areas. I never dreamt of holding my first concert already within 2 years of releasing my first album. I thought it's a dream rather than reality.

Until the poster, advertisement were out and the tickets were sold out, I'm still telling others that it's like a joke. I can't quite believe it until all staff have been confirmed for the concert. Then I tell myself, "Oh really? I gotta believe and prepare for the concert. It's coming up."

I'll try my best on my music and acting career because I am interested in both acting and singing.

Health

Since I'm overloaded with work, I don't have meals at a regular time so it's not a healthy style of life. I don't care about this that much previously. In the past, whenever I shoot ancient dramas, I'll also try the dangerous action scenes too. So I got injured at times.

Now I'll see if a scene is too dangerous and whether it makes a lot of difference in me doing that scene than someone else. I'll also try to have meals at a regular time.

Travelling

I have been waiting to go travelling for quite a while. But the destination, such as Macau, cannot be too faraway from Hong Kong. However, my schedule is so full and I cannot turn down any of those to-do-list. Then I'll start to temporarily give up this thought of trips.

I wanna travel because I'd like to really learn, feel and absorb everything I encountered. After all, it's meaningless to learn nothing after finishing a lot of work!

In this way, I can then improve and thus be more mature.

Hong Kong

Although I have gone to other countries, I have a sense of belonging to Hong Kong as I grow up in Hong Kong and also established my career here.

Second Round - Happy Family, Career, Health

Happy Family, Career

No matter what, family is always the most important thing in my life!

I always need to be a good role model for my younger brother and sister. I feel lucky that my everything went smoothly for my career so that I can take good care (the most basic ability) of myself.

It's impossible to only focus on either one of my acting and singing career. They make up my entire career. Even if many people ask, "Will you spend more time on singing now?" I'll say "no".

I'll try my best and concentrate on singing when I'm singing, acting when I'm acting. I'll just try my best to do my part and finish my tasks. Others also helped out in the process and that helped me concentrate on my work in a better way. This is the foundation of my career!

Health

I never had facial in the past. Recently, I went to have facial less than 6 times within 2 years. But I began to realize its importance. Nevertheless, my appearance also counts towards my career. It's also a way of showing respect. I'll try to pay more attention to health as being healthy is our key responsibilty for those who love and care about us too.

Family ranks No. 1

My family always stands by my side at all times.

If I have to shoot dramas, then I can only see my family members for a few times in a week (on Monday). Most of the time, I get up early and leave home early. By the time I get back home, it's already past midnight and it's time to sleep. But my parents will still come in and ask if I'd like to have some more meals or snacks so we can meet more often in this way. They are my motives for my life."

Raymond Lam says it's too Out, draws a line with Linda Chung



Yesterday was Raymond Lam's 30th birthday and still have no love life, he's eager to encounter his other half soon. When speaking of rumored girlfriend Linda Chung, Raymond used "too out" to describe the topic. In order to get away from the topic, he says that they do not keep in touch at all by phone.

Yesterday Raymond and Ella Koon attended a Christmas event at Pacific Place, Ella was dressed in a Pucca low-cut dress, exposing her sexiness. It was Raymond's birthday yesterday, the organizers especially arranged for a birthday cake to celebrate with him. Raymond reveals that he already had dinner with his colleagues to celebrate, last night he went home and spent his birthday with his lovable dog. He also received many birthday wishes through SMS from good friends, asked if Linda sent him a SMS too? Raymond said: "So Out, the series promotion has ended long ago, we have never kept in touch by phone." Then he quickly wanted to draw a line with Linda, he said: "Don't talk about it anymore, I don't want to affect her."

Men hitting 30, Raymond does not have plans to start a family yet, he said: "I briefly thought about it before, but now it's been postponed. My family does not rush me either." His career is developing very smoothly, but he's still eager to find his other half, he said: "Have to encounter her first, although I had met someone compatible, but there is no time to manage it, so in the end it's still no fate." Raymond laughed and said that his birthday wish is to earn more money because this year he had to pay millions worth of taxes, he smiled: "This year my income grew faster than the inflation rate. (Next year you'll have to pay 10 million taxes!) Yeah!"

Ella Koon who was also at the event did not give birthday boy a kiss, she smiled: "I'm afraid to ruin his make-up." Ella expressed that she doesn't randomly kiss people, she said: "It has to be someone I love. Usually during promotions, I don't mind pretending to kiss, filming I will get into it, so I'm afraid too, but now that I have more experience, I know how to manage it." Has there been a time where acting turned real? She was shocked and said: "No!" In filming, she has kissed Kenneth Ma and Chilam Cheung before, but she stressed that there won't be sparks, she said: "I am very professional, I don't think about that stuff."

Raymond Lam feels pain paying off over million taxes


Yesterday Raymond Lam appeared at a Christmas event and looked tired. He revealed that he just returned from Shanghai to attend a ribbon cutting event and because of the local temperatures, he fell caught a cold while coming back to Hong Kong. In the recent years, Raymond has been very busy working, he admitted that this year he had to pay off over a million in taxes, quite painful. He said: "Actually my income grows every year, but I haven't done many series lately, so I had more opportunities to go out and earn real money! Next year, I will be even busier, working on a new film and will soon start recording for my new Mandarin album. But what I really want is to open a few more concerts."

Raymond Lam & Tavia Yeung & Kenneth Ma [Shall We State The Case] Who is Who’s Ideal Lover?

The first news articles about this series had already been described as the “Hong Kong version of Detective Galileo”, even if it is or is not a remake of the Japanese series, the fact that it is targeting the collaboration of Raymond Lam, Tavia Yeung and Kenneth Ma is already worth anticipating. The trio’s last collaboaration was seven years earlier in the series, “Eternal Happiness”! The youngsters of that time have now all gone through and experienced adulthood and can lament that time flies.

Said to be similar to “Detective Galileo”, the producer in fact says that it is merely the characterisation of the leads that are similar, a physicist male lead and a newcomer police officer female lead. Raymond’s detective character is always dressed in a dress suit, with a tie or bow, all combining with his handsome aura for a perfect match. Once filming begins, he has an air of coolness that sets him apart from normal people and Raymond’s dialogue is full of physics terms and concepts. This is pitiful for Raymond, who in his school days was only mediocre at physics and to have to memorize these complex terms wihich are totally foreign to him. It seems that the title of “NG King” may be heading towards him, add oil Raymond!

Tavia, however, has a more relaxed and comfortable time filming, such that you really want to tell her, “this is work, not play”, but each time you see her happy face, you want to join in with the fun too. With her long hair tied in a ponytail and a wardobe of always fashionable checkered shirts, Tavia’s look of a cool policewoman comes right out. Standing next to Raymond, the other anticipated point of the series comes out, that is Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung are finally playing a couple, since the fateful separation in “Twin of Brothers”. This time, both play male and female lead in this relaxed modern love story, it’s anticipated that they will finally end up together this time round.

But how is that we have yet to see the romantic sweet scenes and we already see the sad break up scene? Detective Lam and Sergeant Tavia were “negotiating” at the piers but eventually it still ended in a break up. Tavia, who is known for her crying scenes, cried extremely professionally, and then inhaled a large amount of the sea water in the air, causing her throat to be both itchy and hurt. Detective Lam, you really are very heartless, really paralleling the heartless and emotionless attitude of Masaharu Fukuyama’s character in Detective Galileo. However, once filming stops, Tavia wipes dry her eyes and blows her nose before returning to the smiling carefree Tavia and jumps down from the box. It turns out that to adjust to Raymond’s height, Tavia must use a wooden box. Though this scene is very saddening and heartbreaking, but the producer has opened up and said that the series is all about love and romance and so I (the reporter) trust the producer’s word and anticipate the scenes to come.

How about our playboy cop Kenneth Ma? Like Officer Tavia, he also has to suffer under the changing weather to arrest criminals and doesn’t have Professor Lam’s luxury of peacefully enjoying the air condition. However, Kenneth has another extra luxury! Just seeing him surrounded by beauties of different countries, it can already be observed that he is enjoying alot of attention from the opposite gender, not to mention that he has intimate scenes with model Lisa S. Though Officer Tavia has a tough time, in the end she gets her happy ending. Professor Lam recieves a Physics award at some award ceremony and still in his tuxedo attire, rushes to Officer Tavia to propose. It seems that the previous depressing breakup scene was just a small climax. But it seems that Tavia is a little afraid to accept Professor Raymond’s marriage proposal, she’s agraid she will be hunted down by the latter’s fans! So it’s better off to be “brothers” after all.

Raymond Lam shops for famous brand watches



Born with the golden key, Raymond Lam is born tall and handsome. Have been in the industry for some time, he does not have many rumors either, in the last few years the only few rumors he had was with Linda Chung. But, lately there was a sudden burst of new rumors saying that Linda is having an affair with martial arts star Philip Ng, leaving Raymond feeling sour.

Frustrated with love, there is always work to cover the fact! Since signing with EEG to become a singer, Raymond's popularity has been rising steadily and will soon be holding a concert in Malaysia too! Yesterday at 8pm, Raymond was spotted at IFC in Central with his manager and make-up artist leaving the mall. But when they passed by a Rolex watch store, Raymond immediately stopped to do some window shopping. He was so focused in looking too without a single blink. After talking to his manager for a few seconds, they decided to leave. When they walked by the jewelry store BVLGARI, Raymond continued to look through the window, looking at the diamonds, is he planning to buy it for a special someone? But he's currently living on a half mountain (wealthy), coming and going from his house in a famous luxurious car, its nothing to him!

Raymond Lam not nominated for any award this year

Raymond Lam and Linda Chung were rehearsing in the studio for "Jade Singers Celebrate TVB 42nd Anniversary the other night. Raymond revealed that he has no TV series for him to be nominated for any award this year, therefore he won't be asked if he wants to win the award. He is quite relax about it. Reporter asked if he feels lost. Raymond replied "Not really, but I am anxious about the two TV series. (Who do you think will win the King and Queen award?) Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang. I saw "Rosy Business", I think the rating report was better than "Beyond". ( But "Beyond" has your two good friends Charmaine Sheh and Taivia Yeung, are you not supporting them?) I support them every year, Charmaine is a good actress, Tavia did the training at the same time with me, her acting is good too."

Raymond Lam hopes that Tavia Yeung can win awards

On 20th October afternoon, HK idol Raymond Lam went to Guangzhou to attend an event, sing songs and also take part in a competition. Raymond who does not have much series aired this year, put his focus on music and does not have to compete for TVB Anniversary's Best Actor and therefore, he feels more relaxed. Regarding his prediction on who will be the winners of the awards, Raymond Lam supports Tavia Yeung and Wayne Lai.

Regarding prediction on Best Actor and Best Actress awards this year, Raymond Lam expressed that he hopes that Tavia Yeung can win the Best Actress awards. He collaborated with Tavia for many times and he always feel that Tavia Yeung has great acting skills. Tavia tried a villain role for the first time in [Beyond] and it is hard to predict the breakthrough for her until the end. Meanwhile, Charmaine Sheh and Sheren Tang are great too. As for Best Actor, Raymond Lam of course chooses the hot favourite "Chai Gao", Wayne Lai and hopes that he can win the award.

Raymond Lam proposed to Tavia Yeung in the street


Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung were in Yau Ma Tei jade market shooting a scene for "Shall We State The Case" in which Raymond had to knelt down on his knees to propose to Tavia. They attracted a lot of onlookers. Raymond has never proposed in public before, he revealed that he was a bit embarrassed. Talking about a marriage proposal, reporter asked if he had proposed before? Raymond said "To whom? (Linda Chung of course!) No way, never dream of it!) Raymond disclosed that although he hasn't met his other half yet, he had imagined that he would go down on his knees to propose. He would come prepare with a ring and a bouquet of flower. Reporter asked how many carats of the diamond he intends to buy? Raymond asked the reporter back how many carats would be enough? The reporter told him it should be 10 to 20 carats, which mean that he is sincere. Raymond said buying a property would be more sincere because you can't make a meal out from diamond. After the series, Raymond will be in the studio recording his mandarin album which is due for release at end of this month. He is hoping he can get into the mainland market.

Tavia was asked by the reporter if she was embarrased when Raymond proposed to her in the street? She smiled and said "It's him who is embarrassed, not me. If in future the guy I like proposes to me in the street, I would accept his proposal straight away! I have to make sure this person is definitely not Raymond, otherwise his fans will kill me."

Raymond has no intention to chase after Linda Chung


Raymond Lam attended a cell phone promotion press conference yesterday. He was photographed with two models. Raymond disclosed that he carries two cell phones with him, one is for accessing the internet. This is necessary as he is always busy, and he wants to catch up with the latest news. Raymond is very careful with his phone contact, he won't use artist real name in his phone. Reporter asked if he has received any obscene phone call? Raymond said "No, only conversation with my friends." Talking about recent report that his rumored girl friend Linda Chung was seen going out with Philip Ng, Raymond responded "I told you before, we are just friends." In fact Linda has been Raymond's rumored girl friend for a long time. Raymond said "Once I met a senior colleague at the TV city, she told me Linda is a good girl, therefore, I should treat her nicely. So I told her I haven't seen or contacted Linda for a long time." Raymond reckoned she had read it from the newspaper, and thought that Linda is his girlfriend. In fact, a lot of fans also think it is true. Raymond emphasized again that they are only friends and he has no intention to chase after her. They haven't contacted each other for a long time, and he hopes he will have a chance to work with her as on screen lovers again.

Raymond Lam, Joe Ma & Yoyo Mung visited care home for old people


Joe Ma, Raymond Lam and Yoyo Mung visited an old people's home in Tin Tsui Wai yesterday. They went there to distribute fruits and mooncakes to the old people. One old man was so touched that he bursted in tears, and he kept thanking them for the visit. The three stayed to watch the old people's performance and was asked to sing Chinese opera with them. As Raymond and Yoyo are not very familiar with Chinese opera, Joe Ma sang on their behalf and got a big round of applaud. Jo also took that opportunity to publicize his new TVB series "Born Rich" commencing next week. He even asked the old people to support the series. As the three of them had to work afterwards, they only stayed there for a short time. Jo was very happy to see the old people enjoying themselves. He disclosed that he cares about the old people's welfare. This is because his wife is doing a course on elderly people at the University of Hong Kong and he is influenced by her. Jo also revealed that if he has time, he would do some voluntary work and he will take his son along too.

Yoyo expressed that she likes being in the company of old people. Although she likes children, she thinks old people also need loving care. Yoyo revealed that she is going to learn a few Chinese opera songs so that next time on her visit again, she can sing to them too. Raymond hoped he would visit the old people's home again as this was his first time to Tin Shui Wai, he really liked the environment and the fresh air.

Raymond Lam didn't notice Kay Tse was singing out of tune



Raymond Lam has been busy promoting his latest DVD. He held an autograph session and played games with the audience in a shopping mall yesterday.

Raymond and Kay Tse will be working on a film called "Daren Love" at the end of the year. They will play the role as lovers. Kay said she was worried playing that role as his girlfriend because he is too handsome. Raymond smiled and asked her not to worry about it. He went on to say that she is very chatty, specially on topics about music, other than that, they don't communicate with each other. Talking about Kay who has been reported as singing out of tune, Raymond said he doesn't know anything about it. He did listen to her singing in the presentation award ceremony before, but didn't notice she was singing out of tune.

Raymond Lam Fung admits he matches with Linda Chung

The other day, Raymond Lam Fung attended Amigo Chui's programme, My Name is Bong, he was questioned regarding his past rumours. After entering the industry for 11 years, altogether he's been rumoured with Rain Li, Linda Chung, Tavia Yeung and more. Asked whether he had once dated Rain Li, Raymond said "Back then I did have a favourable impression of her, but did not date!We did not develop the relationship because of the media, I didn't know how to handle it back then!" As to Tavia, Raymond points out that they have known each other since the TVB acting classes, only good friends! When talking about Linda Chung, he said "Many behind the scenes colleagues have asked me about this, they thought our relationship was real! But there was a photoshoot once, and I thought our appearance really matched"

Raymond Lam has been developing in many different fields, he started taking singing lessons when he was 10 years old, and was approached by a record company at the age 16, out of fate and coincidence, he joined TVB, and was rumoured to be the godson of Harold Hsiao-Wo, regarding this he said "I knew her before entering the entertainment industry, but we would never talk about work related things"

Raymond expressed that he already learned singing when he was a teenager and at the time it was only an interest. But when he was 16, there was a record company that approached him and asked him to sign a contract with them, but at the time his only plan was to go to the United States to study, therefore did not agree to it. Couldn't believe that not even a year of study in the U.S, under coincidence, he entered TVB.

Amigo expressed that he has heard of the rumors saying that people cannot offend Raymond Lam because he's Christina Lee (Madam Lei Hau Woh)'s god son. Raymond said straightforwardly: "This rumor has been going on for many years. It is a fact that I knew her before I entered the industry, but we don't talk about work. I just feel if we do it will affect me because there are a lot of things that I need to do well on, up to the standards of others."

As for his love life, Raymond talked about rumors with Rain Li, Linda Chung, Tavia Yeung, etc. About Rain Li, he frankly said: "I once did have a good impression on her (liked her), but we didn't date. We didn't develop further on our relationship because of the Media, at the time I did not really know how to deal with it, I was a little scared." Raymond expressed that outside of work, he actually doesn't really talk to Linda at all. But in TVB, many people thought that they were really a pair, even Raymond felt that they matched a little!

Yes Magazine – Raymond Lam Counter attacking the TV/movie industry

Last year, not only did Raymond Lam consolidated his position as one of the top young actors at TVB with his popular role “Goon Ga Jai” in “Moonlight Resonance”, a couple of years ago he also entered the music industry, rapidly raising as a singer. This year besides releasing his third album, he also held his first concert at the HK Coliseum. However, he hasn’t had any notable works in the movie industry! After filming “Stolen Love” with Rain Li in 2002, he hasn’t filmed any movies since. Now that he has achieved some results in the TV and music industries, he has thoughts of conquering the movie industry as well. Recently there had been discussions with him starring in two movies. Since the “Siu” movie company is producing again, does he plan to step into the movie industry as well, developing as a music/movie/TV artiste?


Favoured by the company
Earlier Raymond Lam held his first concert and received many positive responses from the public. His concert CD and DVD are also selling very well, reaching platinum sales. With such outstanding results, Raymond Lam and his music company must be very happy.

“Yeah, this year has been a very happy time for me. The music company has given me many opportunities, giving me the chance to hold my first concert at such a big stage like the Coliseum. Really want to thank the company for having such confidence in me. Luckily I did not disappoint them. Since the results are really good, the celebratory function held for me was also very grand, shouting everyone to eat fish maw. The company also promised that if I can achieve even better results next time, maybe we can eat “abalone/ginseng/shark fin/fish maw” meal. For the chance of eating some good food, my colleagues and I will have to work hard! Haha! (So how will you celebrate?) If the DVD reaches three platinum sales, I’ll hold a T-back party, haha!” Even Mani (Fok) said she supports Raymond holding a T-back party, will even call Ah Sa to attend!

Wants to rap in the new album
Since Raymond has achieved good results in music, he should spend more time in it, what are his future plans? “I’ve already started to record my Mandarin album. Hopefully I can try new things in it, especially rap songs. I’ve always thought it’s easier to rap in Mandarin, plus I’ve always really wanted to try these type of songs. So I’m really looking forward to the upcoming album. Normally, I sing romantic songs. Hopefully I can show everyone a different side of me. Also after the concert I realised I don’t have enough dance songs, since the atmosphere will be a lot more exciting if I’m dancing and singing on stage. The audience will also immerse into the excitement better, so I need to make more fast songs.”

Re-entering the movies industry
With great results in the music and television industry, actually in movies he hasn’t spend much time in it. However, now that he has consolidated his work in music and TV, Raymond wants to enter the movie industry again with ambition. “Recently I’m in discussions on two movies, even though they’re not confirmed yet, but there are high chances that they’ll go ahead. They should be filmed this year. I haven’t filmed a movie for a long time, of course I want to film a “Siu” studio movie, because recently I’ve seen how successful the “Laughing Gor: Turning Point” movie is. So I also want to film movies as well!”

“Even though I want to film movies, I hope my manager doesn’t accept ancient costume movies for me! Normally I film a lot of ancient costume series, so I don’t want to portray those type of characters again. I would most love to film police/cop genre movies, because I haven’t had many chances to portray these type of characters. If I have the chance, I would also like to work with actors with “Best actor” calibre, such as Anthony Wong, Eric Tsang etc, will definitely learn a lot. Actually since I’m such good friends with Ron Ng, also hope to work with him in a movie!”

Reluctant to film Taiwanese dramas
Raymond Lam is very popular in the HK entertainment industry, his series are also very popular overseas. He also has many fans in South East Asian countries. Has Raymond thought about crossing borders, like his colleagues (in the same company) Charlene Choi and Ken Hung, and go to Taiwan to film a series? “I also want to film a Taiwan series. Even though I’ve heard Ah Sa said it’s very hard work. But I can learn more. Actually, there have been people who invited me to film a series in Taiwan, but I already have many series to film in HK, so don’t have time. Plus HK is my home, so HK is my primary market. Maybe after I win “TV king”, then I will think about developing my career in other places. haha!” So he doesn’t even desire to film a Taiwan drama, seems like he wants the “TV king” a lot!

Satisfied with his concerts
Actually it’s not easy to be an actor and singer. Now Raymond says he even wants to enter the movie industry, when will he have time to rest? Even the iron man will need rest! “Of course I want to take a holiday to go places and rest, recharge my batteries, but at this moment for me, it is a luxury. I don’t even have enough time to sleep, so having a few days off travelling overseas is out of the question! So once the upcoming Mandarin album is released, I really want to travel to many countries for promotion. The best will be to go back to my hometown. And also go to Shanghai, Beijing. Then I can have some leisure time as well as work, spend some time sightseeing different places!”

“If I have the chance I also want to be like Joey Yung and William Chan, going overseas to Europe for two weeks to learn dancing. Even though at the moment I don’t have time to sleep, but the excitement from the recently held concerts has overwhelmed all my fatique. I feel very satisfied, so even if I don’t get any holidays for a while it’ll be ok.”

.

This issue also has a column where various stars tell a ghost story…..
Ox tail soup
The ghost story I’ve heard about, happens in an university…..
In an univeristy dorm, the girls lived in the upper level, the boys lived in the lower level. There was a couple, every night the girl will use a rope to carry a jug of ox tail soup down to her boyfriend to drink. Until the summer holidays, the boy went travelling with his family. Afterwards he returned to the dorm, the girl kept sending him soups to drink even though he was not there. But during daytime, he could not find the girl. So he was curious and asked around. Then he discovered his girlfriend had already died from a car accidenct while he was on holidays.

So… who made the ox tail soup?


From the column “Stars Choice – where Charlene Choi talks about his concert CD”!

“Raymond Lam’s recent concerts are definitely very successful. I was also one of the guests, and his fans were very passionate. I think Raymond can sing romantic songs very well, plus he’s also very handsome. So I will faint if I look at him for more than 10 seconds! Haha! This concert CD not only contains his well-known songs, it also contains our English duet “In love with you”. I also like this song a lot, hopefully everyone will support it!”

He said that he started to vomit and had diarrhoea in the afternoon, and by morning he had already seen a doctor and took an injection. In the new series, Raymond praised Tavia Yeung for her feminity (womanliness – 女人味), but Tavia said that she had not acted as the romantic interest of Raymond for a long time, since “Twin of Brothers”. She joked that he was only concerned with “dating” Linda Chung! However, Tavia said she normally does not attract romance rumours.

Here is another news on Raymond's partnership with Tavia Yeung.
.
Kenneth Ma, Tavia Yeung and Raymond Lam attended the blessing ceremony for up coming new TV series “Shall We State The Case” yesterday. Raymond and Tavia will play the role as a couple again following “Golden Faith” and “Twin of Brothers”. Tavia revealed that the two has worked well together, but this time the feeling is different as Raymond has matured a lot. He doesn’t look like a kid anymore. Tavia was teased by the reporter if she is worried about rumors. Tavia smiled saying that it would be inevitable, whether it spreads out successfully is another matter. Tavia went on to say that she is immune with rumors. Raymond thanked Tavia for her remarks, in return, he also said Tavia is very feminine and she is getting more and more beautiful too.

Raymond was late for the blessing ceremony yesterday, he disclosed that he has gastroenteritis and has been having diarrhoea. “I am not sure if I had eaten out of date food at home. I started having diarrhea yesterday and throughout the night too. I was feeling really unwell last night in the fund raising activity. I went to see the doctor and had an injection this morning. We have a celebration dinner tonight, it is a shame that I can’t eat as much as I want.”

Tavia revealed that Kenneth wanted the media to create a rumor for them as on screen couple. She asked Kenneth if he is worried about his girlfriend Nancy Wu. Kenneth said he preferred to have Tavia as his rumored girlfriend; the two was seen sharing fruits together. Tavia told reporter afterwards “You think Kenneth prefers me as his girlfriend, can’t you see he said it with the orange covering his heart?”

[Raymond Lam's Blog] Special Partner

Yeah, now I’m filming this series (points at the sticker) “Shall we state the case”. You can probably tell by its name what the series is about, it talks about cases and romantic relationships. This time… let’s say I’ve known Ah Yi (Tavia Yeung) for eleven years now, in the same TVB acting class, the last time we portray a couple was “Twin of Brothers”. Is it still on? Yeah I think it still is. That was five years ago. So we’re working together again after so many years. I think we have very good chemistry because we’ve known each other for so long, understand each other, so this time working with her besides having mutual understanding there will also be new sparks. Actually this time our characters are quite different. I’m the….let’s just say the “upper class” person, and she’s more at the grass roots level. So putting these two characters together there’ll be many cute moments because our backgrounds are different, so there will be a lot of scientific effects (chemistry?).
.
Actually, this series is a huge new challenge for me because the scripts are big, need to remember long and difficult lines. Usually I can use my own methods to remember the script. But this time, I just have to study and learn it off by heart because I don’t know the physics terms. I studied business at school so I don’t know the science subjects. Also, I have to talk about a lot of physics theories so I just have to learn them. For me it’s a new challenge and so far it’s been ok.
.
Actually, sometimes when we’re working, especially when someone has really long lines, when they don’t remember, we’ll all remind each other. When I’m explaining the cases sometimes I’ll forget but no one reminds me because they say they don’t understand what I’m talking about either, since I’m talking about theories. So I have to rely on myself more, and just learn the lines.

Raymond Lam performed in Vietnam with 10 local models as backing group

.
Raymond Lam was in Vietnam performing a mini concert with a full house of 5000 seats. He is the only Hong Kong singer to have performed in Vietnam after Leon Lai 15 years ago. The stage decoration and the lighting were exactly the same as the one in Hong Kong with seats on either side of the stage, making him feel like home.
.
However, this concert had not got the "Wet" theme, but Raymond had organized 10 local models as the backing singers. Raymond even sang "Remember to forget" with his fans who can only speak Vietnamese and English, but they had learned the song in Cantonese specially for him. Raymond was very happy and was touched.
.

.
After the concert, Raymond had an autograph session which attracted over 200 fans who went crazy over him. They surrounded him and followed his around, some even followed him back to the hotel afterwards. There were fans from Singapore and Malaysia and they flew all the way to Vietnam to support him as well as giving him some souvenirs.
.
Talking about Raymond being the only one from Hong Kong to perform a concert in Vietnam after 15 years, He was very excited and expressed that he is very fortunate having to opportunity to perform there as he hasn't been to Vietnam before. At first, he was worried about not many people would turn up, but when he stood on the stage and saw all seats were occupied, he was very excited. Raymond hopes he will come again. Speaking about the landslides in Taiwan, he was worried about the local fans there. Some of his fans have already told him they were safe through the internet and Raymond himself also donated some money for that.

[Raymond Lam's Blog] My favourite TVB show

Ehhhhh…..the television show that left the deepest impression on me was Natalis Chan’s Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star because at the time, I thought the clips on the show viewed by the audience allowed them to choose A, B, C or D regarding things that they didn’t know about in everyday life to expand their knowledge about their lifestyle and lifestyle from different countries so I find it really cool (cute?) and you can learn things and I hope that there are more of these game shows which enhance our knowledge and can learn things with great prizes and Natalis was funny so I liked this show and hope they start having it again.

Woo Pin Fish Head Noodles @ Taman Danau Desa


.
Yesterday I had my lunch with my mum at Woo Pin for their famous fish head noodles. As usual, the place is full with customers during lunch time. It is best to eat on weekdays because the place are packed during the weekends and people need to fight for a seat.

.
.
Soong fish head were used and the fish head pieces are either deep-fried or poached. For those who don’t like the fishy whiff or are too much in a hurry to negotiate the bones, they can ask for ‘yue watt’ (fish paste). This is made from fresh tenggiri (mackerel) paste and, being boneless, is ideal for children. I chose the fish paste version, while my mum had the deep-fried fish head version. The fish-pastes were yummy. However, my mum said the fish head pieces have lots of bones.
.
At Woo Pin, the fish stock is made with a generous amount of dried anchovies, not pigs’ heads or chicken bones. This, according to Chinese belief, makes the soup consumable for those who are observing dietary ‘pantangs’ (taboos). This includes those who have undergone major surgeries, women observing post-natal confinement and children recovering from chicken pox. Rice wine were added into the soup to eliminate the fishy smell and helps whet the appetite. Besides, evaporated milk (Carnation milk) is also added into the soup. Salted vegetables, diced tomatoes, spring onions, coriander leaves and fried onions were added into the soup as well. For those who do not like the milk version, they can op for the clear soup option.
.
The mee hoon is also another factor to look into. At Woo Pin’s, they use only the handmade variety, favoured because of its thickness. This would give the diner a better bite, unlike the finer machine-made ones which have a tendency to turn soggy and render a mulchy feel to the palate under soupy conditions.

.
Responding to rumours of conflict during filming, Raymond Lam is not afraid to battle with Bosco Wong as the most evil character
.

There were tens of police (security?) called to control the crowd. When asked about this, Raymond Lam said, “Not too concerned, because there are always lots of people everytime I attend a promotion.”
.
Raymond and Bosco Wong recently collaborated in a series “Growing through life”. Raymond and Bosco are rivals in life and also rivals in love. Recently there had been news of their comparisons, and rumours of their personal conflicts. Raymond, who has the advantage in the music and television industry expressed, “I won’t comment on others, we entered the entertainment industry at around the same time and we know each other quite well. We won’t compare each other, it’s only other people who do these comparisons.” In the series they will both fight to the “most evil”, Raymond said, “we will communicate with each other about our roles, the goal is to achieve a good result in the end.”
.

Raymond Lam's DVD in great demand in HK. Hard to manage another concert by year end

Singer Raymond Lam held his first concert in June 2009 at the Hong Kong Coliseum, gaining a pretty good response, the entire concert was recorded and produced into a concert DVD, on the 10th at Tsim Sha Tsui Gateway Arcade a press conference was held to conduct a DVD autograph session. The scene attracted many of Raymond Lam's fans wearing their yellow and green uniform holding up high, in green, signs of the word "Fung".
.
Raymond Lam frankly said, when the DVD was first released, he had asked a friend to buy a copy for him, he didn't think that the answer would be that it was all sold out, although he hasn't gotten his hands on a copy yet, but knowing that sales are going well, Raymond Lam feels twice as consoled, and furthermore feels greatful of his fans support.
.
As he was asked about when he would hold his next concert, Raymond Lam openly expressed that apart from having to record his mandarin album, he will also be filming some movies and series, filling his schedule all the way to next year, and plus, his concert would also require gathering even more songs, so the plan for a concert would need to be temporarily put on hold and discussed slowly.

Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung caused a commotion in Central, Hong Kong


.
TVB new series [State the Case] had an outdoor scene filmed in Central (near a restaurant) last friday (31 July).
.
As required in the series, Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung were both seen dressed in autumn clothing despite the temperature creeping into the thirtees, not even a faint puff of wind on that night, Tavia even brought her personal cooling fan. On the other hand, Raymond who was wearing a shirt and tie, was constantly wiping his puddle of sweat. He even used his mobile phone as a mirror to comb his hair and to replenish his make-ups.
.
Just shortly after the filming has started, there were more and more enthusiastic onlookers gathering by the roadside just to catch a glimpse of the popular stars, so much so police were called in to keep the crowd in order. The crew had to expedite the filming, so that they could leave the place soonest possible.

Raymond Lam pays more attention to skincare now to maintain facial appearance

.
Men who use skincare products are getting more and more common. In recent tear, Raymond Lam started to pay more attention to skincare. He said, "It's not about trying to be pretty or not, as an artist we often need to attend events. We should pay more attention to our appearance." He also said that before he was very lazy, sometimes after work he would be really tired and just use towels to wipe his face. But ever since there are more males using skincare products, he tried it and felt that the results were good, therefore he started using them more often.
.
In the past, Raymond has been the spokeperson for Southeast Asia skincare products before. He hopes that in the future he could be a spokeperson for one of the skincare brands in Hong Kong. Recently, he has been filming for "Shall We State the Case", he said: "If outdoor scenes or studio scenes are added, in one day, I need 10+ hours to do make-up. So, definitely need to use some skincare products otherwise my skin would be ruined".
