Missing Karena Ng, Raymond Lam is Unable to Focus on Work

Raymond Lam (林峯) may be in Hengdian physically, but his heart belongs only where girlfriend Karena Ng (吴千语) is. At work, he is often on the phone with her but apparently that is not enough to satiate his love for his girlfriend. On his recent trip back to Hong Kong, Raymond took Karena with him back to Hengdian so the lovers can have more time together.

Since Raymond admitted to dating Karena earlier this year, the couple wanted to spend all their free time together. Their vacations to Europe and Japan were well publicized, and Raymond gave Karena further assurance when he declared his love seven times in April while shooting for Jade Solid Gold <勁歌金曲>.

Lost Focus at Work

Even after the romance passed the six-month mark, Raymond’s love for Karena has not diminished. Without Karena by his side, Raymond does not seem to be able to focus on his work in Hengdian. Whenever the phone rang, he would halt all work to answer it, even when he was already in position for filming. When he could not bear the separation any longer, he would ask for a day’s leave to go back to Hong Kong.

A production crew member on the set of The First Empress <大汉贤后衞子夫> complained, “First, the weather was really hot. Filming period dramas in 40-degree weather is really tough. Second, the lead actress, Wang Luodan (王珞丹) is overbearing. She and Raymond do not seem to get along even now. Actually, Raymond’s sudden leave to go back to Hong Kong has caused the crew to be at a loss. We need to find body doubles. Even when action moves can be substituted by stunt doubles, the other scenes can’t. The next day, we still need to re-shoot. We’re really unhappy!”

Raymond Brings Karena to Work

Raymond has found the perfect solution, deciding to bring Karena to Hengdian instead. On July 13, he applied for a day’s leave to catch the earliest flight back to Hong Kong. Upon reaching the airport, he hopped into an awaiting car and headed straight to Karena’s residence at the mid-levels. In order not to miss any minute with his girlfriend, Raymond even got the hair stylist to come to his house to do his hair. Their 20-hour get together was not enough for Raymond, so he took her to Hengdian the next morning.

While Raymond went to work on Monday morning alone, he was later accompanied by Karena who arrived at the set at around noon time. Since Karena was afraid of getting tanned in the sun, she stayed in the chauffeured car while Raymond worked.

With Karena waiting in the car for him, Raymond was determined to finish work fast so he can spend more time with her. Filming wrapped up at 4 p.m., an hour earlier than the time stipulated by the studio.

  1. sounds very unprofessional of raymond lam! hope he won’t give trouble to other crews just because he can’t concentrate on work and keep craving of karena 24/7! the karena is very powerful to make raymond totally lost his mind over her when mavis pan can’t even get him to admit anything until she come out!

      seems like the crew already troubled! can’t blame the lead actress for not getting along with someone lost in love!

  2. Uh oh…sounds like theres trouble now…one, its very unprofessional of Raymond for not being able to separate work and private life. Wouldn’t be suprised if this couple doesnt work out because Raymond seems very ‘attached’…as a girl myself, I would hate for my boyfriend to be so attached and not being able to separate work from private life…Nd talking on the phone all the time too..

    1. And yeah, ur boyfriend isn’t Raymond Lam xD
      Else you are the one that couldn’t stop calling and checking on him! Hohohos

      1. Even if he is, I would not be the one calling obessively bc Im an independent woman who is capable of establish my own career and knows my own boundaries. You need to be able go trust each other in a relationship and be able to do ur own things otherwise you guys won’t last…this is true for any couple..being the overly attached boyfriend is creepy and obessive that will never be attractive…

      2. If he is then u won’t be commenting here because as me, not a fan of Raymond also won’t believe in such “NEWS/REPORTS” and lorr here u are talking about trust and bla bla bla

    2. agree. i wouldn’t like my boyfriend to be ‘overly attached’ too until can’t concentrate on work. quite creepy to think that raymond seems to be an ‘overly attached uncle’ based on this news until he need to import karena back from hk to hengdian to be in front of him

    3. It may sound creepy to you, but for his gf, he could be just exactly where she wants him to be. Right within her palm/hand. 😉

      If these rumors/news is true, I think his parents have enough reasons to worry now.

      ps: He should just man up. This is definitely hurting his image.

  3. Aiyoyo!!!!
    Anyone believe such NEWS?!
    Even though I don’t like Raymond but I don’t believe in such CRAPS!

    1. well, I think this news could be true: Karena is the world’s biggest gold digger, so there’s nothing that she can’t do, and making LF take her here and there isn’t a very hard task.

    1. lol-I was going through the Home page then when I saw this article I had to read it over again adn again. hahahah this article is sooooooo ridiculous

  4. From what I know about Raymond he does not seem like the type that would be so obsessed that he would lose focus on his work. I think this news is over exaggerating and way too fabricated.

    1. @HeTieShou, I think all of that plastic in his face has affected his brain adn thinking skills, so right now he can’t concentrate on his work……hahahahahahha 😀

    2. The news is just one-sided. If they write about how many hours he sleep each day while working, I think nobody is interested in reading? C’on, he’s not that young. Anywho, I’d rather him be a little bit more lazy than being a workaholic like he has always been, coming in and out of the hospital, working with thing wrapping around his neck, coz no one seems to give him any credit on that.

    1. When a couple falls in love, there is much more than the looks factor. If it is only based on looks then it will not last long.

  5. i think that news is true cause reporter caught some picture that karena ng & raymond lam play around at hengsian. i lost hope of raymond now cause he so unprofessional. and that girl why disturb him when he at work CRAZY !!!

    1. that’s what raymond gets for being too ‘overly attached boyfriend’ at an immature 19 year old who miraculously able to make him prioritize and thinking of her more than focusing on his work and managed to trouble the crew and make the leading actress wang luo dan not getting along with him. maybe his overly attached boyfriend behaviour and unprofessionalism at work annoyed the mainland actress.

      1. How would you know that Karena is immature? She’s the same age as me and personally, if I was in karena’s shoes and her bf is in another city, of course I will miss him..

        It’s quite common. However, if the news is reporting is true, then that’s unprofessional for Raymond Lam.

        However, on a personal level, I don’t think this news is true at all.

      2. mature level different for different people. and like you said if the news is true that’s unprofessional for raymond to affect the teamwork and relationship with crew and the mainland actress, not the issue of missing a girlfriend.

      3. I don’t think Karena is necessarily immature; rather, Raymond is the overly protective, attached, and clingy boyfriend if what’s reported is true.

      4. Raymond is the overly protective, attached, and clingy boyfriend if what’s reported is true.
        ^ YES. This is perfect.

        ” issue of missing a girlfriend.”
        ^ um yes, the title says that he misses Karena Ng. ._.

    2. Those pictures can also mean that she is just visiting him and then it got fabricated into all of the details above. I guess we should all just take this or anything we read or hear with a grain of salt because you do not what they would add in or take out.

  6. Karena is going to kill Raymond’s career. I am just waiting for the day Karena dumps him.

    1. If Karena dumps him, she’s quite stupid and Raymond lam is gonna have a hard time recovering. Anyone would have a heartache since it’s a breakup.

      If you were true fan, you wouldnt wish for that.

      1. If there is a valid reason or reasons to dump your partner, there is no stupidity in that. If what is said is tru, then Raymond needs to get his act together, but knowing the HK tabloids, you have to take what they say sometimes with a grain of salt. If you were given a reason to dump your partner, would you want to be called stupid. I guess sometimes the love and adoration for idols can make fans very zealous. I wish them allthe best in their relationship though.

    2. karena is pampered like a princess now and managed to make raymond obsessed about her, don’t think she’ll leave her gold mine this soon. she’s youngand has plenty of time to spare.

      1. Just because we’re young, it doesn’t mean we have lots of time to spare.
        No one knows when they’re going to die. It could be very sudden. I’m pretty sure that Karena and Raymond Lam are enjoying their relationship.

    3. I would wish raymond happy in relation but this Karena i wish she dumps him faster, cause she immature. how can she go there when he work. if she mature in enough she will think for raymond.

      1. and by being dumped by someone, it will make raymond lam happy?

        I don’t think so.

      2. If she is matured enough, she will let Raymond think for himself. He is an adult, older than her.

      3. @ Vic. Why would an unmarried grl follow a guy to his workplace? That golddigger is too thick-skinned….

  7. Damn if this is truee, i must say raymond is kinda too clingy -___- way too clingy .

  8. the story sounds a bit much … but if real, Ray is one love sick pup …

  9. Don’t care about them, don’t care if this news are true or not, But….. any relationship that can affect your work, and make you unable to focus on work are NOT healthy relationship.

    1. If it is like this, then Raymond, you not in a healthy relationship (emotionally unhealthy)
      I’m amaze how can someone be so deeply in love that can think about their boyfriend/girlfriend even at work? Yikes!
      When I dated my husband, sure I miss him. But I don’t miss him at work because at work, I have many other things going on I have to deal with. At work my head have no time to think about our love stuff.
      I only miss my husband when after work, go home, shower, eat and then in the room watching TV, then my mind start thinking about other things, LOL! But definately not at work.
      Raymond, you already 30+, you not a teenager boy in love.

      1. Darn, you need to teach me. I’m occupied all the time but my husband squeaks in here and there even when the clinic is at its busiest hours. He’s even busier than me and he still manages to call me even if its only for 30 seconds tops, if I’m lucky on that day. LOL 🙁

  10. @Kaboom
    Raymond alrealdy head over heels, he can’t think properly.

    @Akira
    being dumped by someone is 100% not happy, but at least he will get someone better and will think for him.

  11. LF needs sex, badly; otherwise, can’t concentrate! LOL!!

    1. Ditto. With the guy ‘head over heels’so badly … it’s more often than not also the hot long sex he’s also missing. Esp the type of dude like Raymond Lam.

      I highly doubt he’s flying her over so they can just whisper lovey-doveys to each other and hold hands the entire time.

      She’s got him by the b@lls. 🙂

    2. Oh yea, now that you mention it, I bet that that is what he is lacking and missing. I think a big part of the reason why he likes her so much must be because she is good in bed… A girl can be beautiful but if she is not able to satisfy a guy in bed then she is not a keeper to many guys. Sex is truly important to a guy…

      1. I don’t know if this is an appropriate question to ask but how exactly is a girl not good in bed? …Like is there a scale to measure it? …… I’m going to stop there.

      2. I am not so sure myself but just heard from the really experienced people. Maybe someone more experienced can answer that…

      3. I don’t think that’ accurate or appropriate.. :/

      4. Let’s just say some girls don’t mind “doing it all” to please a guy…. and from the patients I sometimes see, it leaves very little to the imagination!!!

      5. I second this. Guys equate love with the physical act while girls on the emotional feel. Hopefully Raymond is not suffering from sex addiction like David Duchovny (of X-Files). He prolly wants to remain loyal to Karena, hence would rather she be nearby to fulfill all his needs than betray her with someone else.
        Missing your partners when apart is natural especially in the beginning of a passionate relationship. However, to the extent where the other person has to be near at hand is quite worrying.

      6. Raymond and Karena are still in their honeymoon period so I guess the “passion/lust” is still really strong. I guess if they do stay together for a long time then it will not be as bad..

      7. honeymoon or not, raymond is working and he should’ve known better not to mix private affairs into work and create trouble to his costars and crews and not being a selfish idol snob who only think of his girlfriend 24/7.. he’s already been in the industry for a long time and more than old enough to learn not to offend others.

      8. There are news clips where Wong Luo Don expressed that she was amazed of how LF can work with very less sleeping, she herself cannot and really tired due to lack of sleeping and demand more rest, when she ask him for tips, he just said: I’ve got used to it. He wasnt come back to HK just for Karena, he has MVs to film, and the producer said he already ask for permission before leaving and have worked for 2 more hours each day to catch up the work. Such news are not chosen to be translated? The bad ones are always more juicy.

      9. hi Crystal, 🙂

        To your question, I would think these 4 things (among others) are the determining factors.

        1) No enthusiasm
        2) No creativity
        3) No confidence
        4) No stamina

        These is solely based on stories I’ve remembered from various groups of people, male, female, straight and so on. Also backed by a lot of ‘insightful’ reading from the thrashy Cosmopolitan magazine. Lol.

      10. Hello Siying!

        And LOL. I wasn’t serious cause I do hear a lot of the suggestions some of my clients blurt out during our talks. But I never really researched it if there was like a standardized scale lol.

      11. Hi Crystal,
        I’ve got so much love for your job and its perks. 😀

        Maybe in our free time we should research it and if there isn’t a standardized scale, we should invent one like the BMI, I can imagine the ruckus it ll create. hohoho.:D

  12. Private life private matters!
    LF Love Fung!❤

  13. here’s an ancient chinese poem I found on the net: If the love between two people is everlasting,why need to stay together day and night?

    1. i agree, if love each other is no need to tay together day and night.

      1. Will the love be everlasting (continue) if one party leaves the world?

        Not knowing the future wouldn’t you prefer to spend as much time possible to people or things you cherish and create great memories with them?

        Of course sticking to each other everyday when you have nothing to say or do is meaningless.

  14. A saying from Master ShiFu to LF: A little impatience spoils great plans…..

  15. I don’t think Raymond is that unprofessional!!! Love Raymond…Support Raymond…The reporter like to make up news sometime since it is not news from Raymond recently!!! Anyway…add oil…Raymond

  16. I used to hate this couple, then I grew to accept them because I felt that perhaps Karena was more mature than I gave her credit for. This article just reminds me that the relationship makes Raymond immature instead. Unless things change, I honestly wish they wouldn’t end up together.
