Raymond Lam admits to have once liked Rain Li
The other day Raymond Lam accepted an interview from Amigo Chui on his show “MY NAME IS PONG”. 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 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!

Raymond Lam is prepared to be match-made by parents if….
Raymond Lam was invited by Amigo Chui to his program [My Name is 邦]. He rushed to TVB right after filming “Shall We State the Case”. He laughed and said that due to the extremely hot weather, his clothing was all soaked wet. Just before this, he was filming an outdoor scene in a secluded area and he said it was liken to that of filming ancient series.

Raymond revealed that in the program, he will be talking about his struggles and anxieties when preparing for his concert. [I was struggling to juggle between filming and rehearsing for the concert, I was extremely nervous and stressed out that I felt I was almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown].

Raymond was asked if he had talked about his personal relationship, Raymond laughed and said if there is no further development or much progress in this area of my life in the next few years, he believes his parents are prepared to arrange for a match-making session for him.

On the other hand, it was reported that Suki Chui is currently dating Wong, a well-known specialist in the food and beverage industry and will be tying the knot end of this year. Amigo who was rumoured to be pursuing Suki congratulated her [We have never kept in touch]. Reporter said that the rumour was spread just two months ago. Amigo said that he did not pursue Suki, settling down and setting up a family is a good thing, and that it would even be better if everyone has a stable relationship. Amigo was asked when he will be getting married, he said that will only happen in a very distant future [I know I'm not matured emotionally, and will concentrate in my career, I can't even provide for myself now].

LGW DVD autograph function @ HK Records

Translated by: Fung4Eva @ http://asianfanatics.net

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.

[Magazine] JessicaCode – Tranquil Love Moments

Tranquil Love Moments
Many people view Valentine’s Day as a romantic moment where couples express their love for each other. In one way or another, everyone of us still wished for that day to be a little special. Hoping to create unforgettable memories, which will become the evidence of their love in the future. Originally thought the beautiful girl and handsome guy combination of Yoyo Mung and Lam Fung would look forward to Valentine’s Day and they would have many plans. But actually for them, the ideal Valentine’s Day would not be full of romantic surprises, and don’t need extravagant plans to celebrate. They would feel more touched if it was spent in simplicity. Maybe after being in the entertainment industry, they would most desire for the warmth within the calmness!

Change to have more space
In the complicated entertainment industry circle, no matter how unwilling, the public will place their attention on your love affairs. Maybe Yoyo is already accustomed to it after being in the industry for many years, so she wouldn’t talk about her love life often. This minimises the gossip, and she only hopes that their relationship is healthy, and not a means of creating news. She confidently said, “The key is to persist on living happily, using positive thoughts to support each other, because a relationship is not built on tears. I wouldn’t deliberately conceal my relationship matters, but I would not talk about it much. I understand there are gains and losses with working in this industry, but sometimes I would rather gain less, hoping to exchange for more space for us.”

Love that is real
As for Lam Fung, who is very popular recently, maybe it’s because his character is very well known to the audience, he always give the feeling that he is a romantic with many loves. However, the reality is quite opposite. He longs for a simple life, but because he’s in this industry, every move is watched by others. Some things which other people would consider as normal, he doesn’t have the opportunity to try. “Actually a simple life is the most comfortable, even dating, I think, doesn’t need a lot of elaborate plans. Can go shopping or see a movie, or eat a candlelight dinner, this will already satisfy me.”

Throwing flowers into the rubbish bin
Speaking on the topic of love, you have to talk about their past experiences. Yoyo talking about her most unforgettable Valentine’s Day, “I don’t like flowers, plus using flower wrapping paper is very wasteful. There was a year I got flowers, that moment I was quite scared, don’t know why, immediately threw them into the rubbish bin.” Speaking of it Yoyo started laughing, and Fung, who was next to her also laughed at her for being such a tomboy. What plans does she have with Ekin Cheung? Yoyo heard it and said, “If he plans anything special I will be scared! Actually I don’t really care for the festive atmosphere, if we both understand each other’s thoughts that would already be enough. This year I would like to try something new, like last year I performed some overseas visits and experienced some behind the scenes work, this gave me new, and memorable understandings.”

Longing to date
As for Lam Fung, maybe he already knows of the editor’s intentions, haven’t asked and already said he is not dating anyone. He said he’s been single for a long time so he also wants to date. But he is a perfectionist, he has high expectations of himself and also of other people. Plus his working hours are not stable, so it’s not easy for find someone. He smiled and said, “After entering this industry there isn’t a whole month where I don’t have to film a series, this year I hope to concentrate on singing, trying out different areas.”

Love accessories
Valentine’s Day gifts are often viewed as a couple’s symbol of love, and accessories are often the choice. Yoyo and Fung both have their favourites on accessories. Yoyo likes diamonds and coloured stones, “I think every girl likes diamonds, and different coloured stones have different feelings, they can be elegant, or cute. It’s very suitable for attending parties.”

The stylish Fung thinks that giving accessories is the perfect choice for guys to give to his other half. On the other hand, it can be very useful for guys to compliment their outfits. “There aren’t as many varieties for guys in terms of creating an outfit. Accessories can enlighten an outfit, like a necklace, ring for casual wear, it’s trendy and also adds charm to men. And also wearing badges with a suit can emit an air of maturity for men.”

[Magazine] Yes – Fung’s Christmas in love

Kat — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 10:54:37 +0000

Raymond Lam’s Christmas in love
The name Lam Fung, seems to include “handsome, fame, rich”, which are the attributes of many girls’ dream partner. However, he always portrayed the unfaithful character in television, his love storylines are very complicated, he also had many rumours with other actresses. But in real life, Fung hasn’t had a girlfriend since he entered the entertainment industry, definitely very dry. Even if he has met many beautiful girls, but it hasn’t sparked anything, hasn’t met a girl who he can hold hands with, or embrace to spend nights with! Christmas, which many couples place emphasis on, for Fung who is single, can only imagine himself in love!

Used to disappointing Christmas
So how will Fung spend Christmas, he bitterly smiled, “Working! Actually I have to work every year! In the first three years of being in this industry, during the holiday season I will check my schedule to see if I have a break. But for many years I had to film series, even without filming there were other work to do, so there wouldn’t be any time off to go out with friends. At first I’ll be very disappointed, but later I got used to it so it doesn’t matter. If I finish work and it’s not too late, I can join the party, but if it’s too late to join then just leave it! Having work and opportunities to earn money is something to be happy about!”

Without an opportunity to decide what to do each Christmas, is he really ok with that? He wouldn’t sneak out to party? “Actually it’s not like that, one year I had a chance to tag along. A few years ago, we finished filming early so I had time to celebrate with friends, very happy that year!”

Really want to be a couple
This Christmas, for Fung who is now also a singer, can only dream of having a holiday, because he has many more work waiting for him! Without time for partying, dreaming of it is better than nothing? But he’s realistic, dreaming will only make him more sad.

“I really wish to be a normal guy, holding a girl’s hand and look at the Christmas lights. Hai! But I’ve been single for many years, without a girlfriend, now when you mention Christmas of course I want to date! Even though walking on the streets people might recognise me, or it will be inconvenient, but if I have a girlfriend now I will definitely try to find a way to see the Christmas lights with her. Because I think these simple activities are the most romantic, or go to the harbourside and sing a Christmas song for her, spending time quietly together is ok. But unfortunately I don’t have a girlfriend…. can only imagine it!” Lam Fung, are you really that depressed? You don’t have a real girlfriend, but you have a lot of rumoured gifriends. One of them, Linda Chung will be contesting the newcomer awards this year, they will see each other in the music awards!

Only want to enjoy the breeze on the harbourside
Speaking of dating, Fung immediately said he thought of his new song “Lover and sea”. He said this love song is very “lum”, can easily make people think of the seaside. “Occasionally I will go surfing, if my girlfriend likes it that would be really good. But many girls don’t like water sports. If my girlfriend doesn’t like water sports it doesn’t matter, can go out an enjoy the sea breeze occasionally that would be good. Because I like the calmness when out at sea.”

Fung is a practical guy, the “dreaming” type like buying a house by the sea to spend time with his girlfriend, the super romantic types are not suitable for him. But looking at his handsome face enjoying the sea breeze should be enough la, right? “I don’t know how to be deliberately romantic, actually it’s not that I don’t know, I would have many ideas. But doing them is too overt. Actually it depends on the girl, if she likes it, for her then I will definitely do some romantic stuff.”

Declaring his love on the seaside during filming
Even though in real life, Fung is not the type of romantic guy who takes his girlfriend to the seaside, but he has been in many series. He said for one of them he had to film by the sea a lot, very memorable! “Earlier when filming “Le Femme”, I remember I portrayed a guy who secretly admired his tutor since he was young. Living on Lamma Island, I engraved the words “I will marry Ko Chi Ling” on the seaside to declare my love to her, plus there were many scenes which took place on the islands, making me appear on the seaside very often. Thinking back on this scene gives me the feeling of “loving you even if the sea is dry and the stones have eroded”, I was quite touched during filming. But engraving on a stone is quite difficult, would it be ok to replace it with spray paint? However, it’s also important to protect public property.” Didn’t realise Fung can also create atmosphere, so single ladies, do you like him even more?

Award is the best gift
Fung mentioned Christmas, mentioned his longing for love, so what about Christmas presents? “I don’t want anything in particular, just be practical and want to have a day off and have a meal with my family. Because I won the “Best Actor” award at the 2008 Asian Television Awards recently for “The Master of Tai Chi” and haven’t had time yet to celebrate with my family. This award is my first overseas award, really want to share it with my family!”

After the happiness, the imaginations, 2009 is fast approaching. His first job in the new year is to make a new album. “After Christmas it’s 2009. I am already preparing for my new album. (Really have to be that quick?) Not quick, as making an album takes time. I have to film series during this time too, so it’s quite rushed. Hopefully the new album will even be better.” Got it, in reality Fung’s work is the most important, but as Leo Ku says, don’t just earn money and work, otherwise he will “love too late”! Referring to his family, not Linda Chung!

Speaking of love, in life there’s not only romantic love, but also many other things to love. As a guy, Fung has many loves in life! Let’s reveal his top ten loves (favourites):

1. Favourite food: chocolate, Japanese, Vietnamese
2. Favourite fruits: whole banana
3. Favourite dessert: pudding
4. Favourite drinks: aloe vera, water, chrysanthemum tea, natural drinks
5. Favourite colours: blue, white, green

7. Favourite seasons: summer, winter
8. Favourite animals: dogs, horses
9. Favourite activities: swimming, singing, dancing, basketball, ice skating, cycling

[Magazine] Cosmogirl – Best Family Man Ever

Cosmogirl November 2008 – Best Family Man Ever
I’m not the housewife who lives in Ngau Tau Kok, so when I see Roger Kwok on the streets I won’t see him as the enemy who cheats on insurance. But it’s difficult to deny that TV series have an ability to change perceptions in real life. Because the first time we saw Lam Fung, we immediately match him with his character “Goon Ga Jai” from “Moonlight Resonance”, believing him to be a person who looks after his family. Even though he may not wake up at 4am to make egg tarts, and won’t sing “Needing you every minute” on the streets using sign language, but still believe he will love his home, take care of his family, if he’s free he will rest at home, if something happens to a family member there will be a family meeting, and taking great care of his siblings….

As a result, the instincts given by the TV series are very accurate. All of those hypothesis were correct, the only incorrect part is that he definitely doesn’t love his older brother and older sister, because at home he is already the eldest.

Love home
After a series of questions, the conclusion is: the character Goon Ga Jai is very similar to the real Lam Fung, praising TVB script writers’ knowledge of the actors. However, Fung’s response is, “Doesn’t matter because not many people know about my family life.” So it was fate which linked him with this character, even though some audience thought it was illogical, asking how could there be such a guy who looks after his family so much? But in real life there’s always exceptions. “Actually, I do look after my family, I put my family first in everything, especially after I entered the entertainment industry. Since there’re less chances to see them, I have to treasure every moment. If possible I will see them during special events, I’ll also aim to see them once every month. If I have time I’ll go yum cha with my mum. But she thinks it’s too troublesome to go out with me, would rather stay at home and eat dad’s cooking.”

Family Teachings
Maybe we need to speak from his childhood, Fung’s family education is like this: since he was young, everything is shared among the three children, using everything together. As the elder brother, no matter what mistakes his younger brother or sister makes, he will be questioned alone. If there is punishment the elder brother cannot escape. The crime is he did not take care of his siblings. Whenever they have problems, they will have family meetings, and each person gets a vote to decide. This type of education is still useful to him now.

“As the toys belong to all of us, this eliminates a lot of disputes. Our sibling relationship is very close, so I really like to go back home. Maybe it’s because I’m a Sagittarius, like freedom without boundaries. And the only place I feel comfortable is at home. As for the questioning, when I was young I definitely did not understand. Clearly it wasn’t my fault, why were all of us punished? Now I know it is about taking responsibility, and because of this, it trained my tolerance. I can tolerate a lot of things now! Haha… these days when young people face problems, they always say their family don’t understand and only talk to their friends. But your family are the people you are the closest to, so why can’t you discuss everything with your family? Your family gives you everything unconditionally, this is what I felt the deepest since I started working at age 18.”

Managing the home
Since I love this family, I especially want to contribute to it, slowly becoming a hidden “Goon Ga Jai”, wanting to look after everything. “There is a bit of that, but not as nagging as the character, because my parents nag more than me! He is a person who does a lot of things himself, so he will fuss over little things. Going out to eat, the waiter is late to serve them, the teapot has not been filled, the rice has not arrived…… all these things will make him burning with impatience. So my role is to comfort him, only eating a meal, not fight a war so why fuss over it. He is already under a lot of pressure at work, if he can’t just relax and have a meal, my work performance will only worsen.”

Own home
Growing up in a happy family, he should have some bright hopes for the future when he has his own, does he have a timetable yet? “Yeah, I will definitely build my own family, but don’t know when yet. My family worries about me.” As Fung is the oldest boy in the family, all of the extended family’s eyes are on him. Unfortunately he has never brought a girlfriend home, so everyone’s sight is set onto someone else. “Occasionally when I meet with high school friends, some will bring their wives and kids. I quite envy them, but at the moment work is the priority. Marriage depends on fate, but I deeply believe when my younger brother (11 years his junior) gets married, I will still be single, haha…” In terms of love, Goon Ga Jai is very courteous, likes to give up to others, is that the reason why he’s still single? “No, that’s not relevant. But I am very courteous, I won’t fight with others. I will only do what I’m supposed to within my capabilities. Whether that will win the girl’s heart will depend on her. I think that’s trained from a young age when we couldn’t even fight for toys.”
