Raymond Lam: Best Family Man Ever (Cosmo Girl! Magazine)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 homeAfter 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 TeachingsMaybe 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 homeSince 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 homeGrowing 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.”
TVB's Award Ceremony 2008 began at exactly 8:30pm tonight, with a number of artistes dressing up extravagantly to attend the event at Tseung Kwan O city. Myolie Wu won the night's first award, TVB's Most Fashionable Artiste Award, which was presented by designer 張天愛. When Myolie received her award, she was very emotional and nearly cried.Myolie said in her thank you speech: "Thank you, I never thought I would win an award tonight. If Miss Cheung Tin Oi says that herself is not beautiful, then I must be very ugly. Most Fashionable Artiste? I don't think I deserve the title, but I really hope that my love for fashion can transform me from an ordinary girl to a fashionable girl. I really have to thank all my sponsors, and also to all my "sisters" (Myolie's female friends in the industry)."
