Raymond Lam Spent 2 Months Creating Painting for Karena Ng
Karena Ng’s (吳千語) 21st birthday was last week, but her princess party and London getaway with Raymond Lam (林峯) are still fresh on fans’ minds. Returning back to Hong Kong, Raymond explained that while they continued to celebrate Karena’s birthday in London, the main intention was to enjoy the local arts scene.
“We went to the gallery to look at artwork. We also purchased some pieces; BB accompanied me and helped me pick them. We spent over a 6-figure-sum on the artwork.” Although purchasing them out of love, Raymond believed they will be good investments over time. “In the last year or two, I’ve bought a lot of modern art pieces. This time, they are from the 1940s and 1950s – they’re really beautiful and we both love them.”
For Karena’s birthday, Raymond spent two months creating a painting for her. He tried to copy a specific painting he liked. Although Karena complained that Raymond is usually transparent in his behavior and unable to keep secrets from her, she was completely taken by surprise by Raymond’s painting.
Karena’s princess-themed birthday party aroused criticism from the public due to the extravagant price tag. Raymond replied, “The reports said I made the castle birthday cake. I didn’t make it, but I did give suggestions to the baker. Also, the party didn’t cost $100,000 HKD, as it was just a meal.”
Ruco Chan to Replace Raymond Lam?
Next week, Raymond will appear at an EEG press conference, sharing his upcoming work projects with the public. With Raymond’s departure from TVB, it was rumored that the station wants Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) to replace Raymond’s position. Praising Ruco as a talented actor, Raymond said that they both had their strengths and there was no need for comparison.

wow! LOL
Should invest in London property
In order to achieve better ROI
Immigrate to Britain would be a good idea
What is ROI?
Thats all we need. 2 More idiots from HK.
He means Return On Investment ROI
He’s totally obsessed with her. It’s always what he has done for her, what about Karena? What did she do for him?
You don’t wanna go there lol
BJ…
Karena spends time with him, gives him her youth, and ……
Old man chasing after young gal got to behave like this, otherwise she will fall for a guy her age. Anyway, Karena loves his money more than him…LOL
how long is it gonna last??
How about forever?
Time will tell.. Even long term relationships and marriages are not guaranteed to last a lifetime. Fate can come and go at any time. I guess any couple should enjoy their relationship while it is ongoing instead of worrying about when it will end. If any relationship,friendship,etc… ends,then it just does… Life is short so we must all learn to move on…
Hi HeTieShou,
Fully agree with you. Only time and destiny will tell, we’re the audience, we’ll wait to see.
In any happy relationship it’s only natural that we always wish and hope for eternal love, till death do us apart am I right?
It’s not about how long you date someone. Dodo Cheng and Lui Fong are one good example, they were together for 16 yrs cohabited, I would expect them to be happily together but who knows, they eventually split.
I have met some happy couples, I asked them how long they dated each other, they told me couple of months only.
Women always hope to be adored. Karena is definitely lucky to have this girl madly in love with her. She has to count her blessings and lucky stars.
it’s also becoming more common for older couples to divorce after they’re kids are grown up. Only a diamond is forever these days.
Lol, yep, diamond does last forever, so as money, but not love.
The most exciting part of the article? Ruco Chan to replace Raymond Lam. Hehe.
Ruco to replace raymond. Must be kidding. Ruco gonna get japped for this
Ruco Chan is much more talented than Raymond anyway. Hope it’s true because he deserves it!
Ruco can’t even sing…. We all know for a fact Raymond is much more talented. Going forward Ruco is a late bloomer look at how old he is compare to Raymond. Raymond is someone that is comparable to Andy Lau back in his TVB years
“We all know for a fact Raymond is much more talented.”
Sorry to burst your bubble. It is only a fact if it’s something that can’t be disputed. As defined by Merriam- Webster fact is “a piece of information presented as having objective reality”. As it is, opinion is largely divided on who’s indeed more talented. Up to individual preferences.
To Lmaos,
Not everyone is blessed with singing talent. I think what natalie was trying to write was when it comes to acting Ruco Chan is better than Raymond Lam that’s all.
Ruco Chan is indeed a late bloomer. But dont forget it’s not necessarily right that he wasnt good. Everyone knows in TVB, you’re talking about relationship with the top executives. It’s about connections, it’s about luck etc etc. A lot of older artistes were good but they were not promoted because they didnt know how to pull strings or too straight forward and dont do apple polishing. This is everywhere in corporate world, everywhere.
Actually Ruco can sing too. If I remember correctly he was actually signed on as a singer but as bad luck would have it, the recording company folded before he could release an album. I think what he’s lacking in is luck and the high level executives to back him up.
Have you ever heard Ruco’s singing Lmaos? He has soothing voice and can sing better than 90% of idol singers nowadays.
I guess many have forgotten that Ruco can sing pretty well. Have you guys seen the ATV series Love in a Miracle? Ruco sung the opening song with Amy Chan for that series and has a great voice. That is one of my most favorite themesongs. Here is the link to the song if anyone is interested:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twy6F0UJirk
I agree with Passerby. It is not a fact that Raymond is more talented. That is just a personal opinion and preference. Talent is subjective.
i dont think ruco is much more talented than raymond they have both their strong and weak point the difference is that raymond have the managers luck in the begin of his career which ruco didnt.
Thx HTS for the link. Nice song and this drama is pretty good too. Starting was a little slow but I found myself getting intrigued by it. Who was this mysterious Zhong Ling? What’s his connection to the powerful Sun family? Ruco’s acting had so much potential even 10 years ago. Must watch if you’re a Ruco fan.
Exactly Chriselle. It’s time for Ruco to get his rightful promotions and recognitions. He’s very talented but lacks the luck of others, possibly because he don’t depend on connections and wealth.
I also think Ruco is very talented but sadly has not gotten the recognition that he deserves until recently. But that is life, you can work hard, be talented but sadly may not achieve what you want until way later or never. That is how it is, especially in this business.
Hi HeTieShou,
I’m not sure ppl like Felix Wong for example has ever got best actor award. I personally feel his acting is good, quite gifted. Just an example. Artistes these days get things easier compare to those older generations. These days maybe you dont really need to really sing well, you can have a good looking face there you can rise up. But if you’re talking about those days, you need to know how to sing well. When I listen to the songs (hong kong & taiwan singers) these days hardly come across one that can sing like Jacky Cheung and Alam Tam for example. A lot of so called singers sing without the right method, you can hear their breathing. If you listen to Jacky Cheung and Alan Tan then you would understand what I mean.
Why the part he replied regarding Myolie’s leave is cut out?
What did he say regarding Myolie’s leave?
I think the translator needs to focus on more of his work than his love life, or at least balance it out.
Ok nevermind, I just read it and he said he doesn’t know about it but believes Myolie has her own thinking (something along the lines of that)
He said that he didn’t know about Myolie’s leave but he believes in Myolie’s decision and she knows the best for herself.
I was wondering the same thing. These articles seem more like summaries rather than word for word translations.
I want to see the art piece. Where can I see it?
in karena’s bedroom?
In karena’s toilet
Hahahahaha
Ruco pretty much already has replaced Raymond when Raymond stopped acting so much in tvb series ruco became a leading actor,, just hope ruco can go do movies aswell
We shld not compare them as each has
his own strengths. Doing so will only start a fan war.
Seriously, is Ruco and Raymond that good??
Both Ruco and Raymond are very good.
Raymond and Karena again? Does Karena know how to appreciate art? I thought she only knows the brands of handbags.
How can you know she doesnt know how to appreciate art? Bags are also a type of art (fashion).
“she was completely taken by surprise by Raymond’s painting”
She probably expected something more expensive 😀
Ring… I’m so sad he dating her because she is way to young for him and he making the most here and she spend it all away. yet again he will have money even if he spend it on her. BUt i just think he is way better off without her. He shouldn’t leave TVB while he is so popular right now. SO sad
He should leave TVB and made a good decision to leave. 100 mil with EEG is definitely better than staying with TVB. The TVB kings only receive how much, 50k HKD per episode. He received 50k per episode with TVB since Highs and Lows already, so it is up to the peak. Go and then there are new peaks.
Another vacation?! She really is a jetsetting girl! Raymond you gotta work harder to afford the trips and bags and what nots. But she has to work harder still. Career as Raymond’s GF is harder but it has its perks.
He has just had 100 mil with EEG, still has a lot to spend even without working. And did you automatically add the bag in? This time is something more expensive, the fine arts. Maybe he bought to draw more for her
“With Raymond’s departure from TVB, it was rumored that the station wants Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) to replace Raymond’s position. ”
Yeah right! Let’s see, ok…nahhhh will never happen.
Why not?
Dear Funn, why you think it cannot happen? Is it because TVB doesn’t love Ruco as much as they love Raymond?
Yes.
support you…LF…looking forward to your new music album
What about roger kwok & lawrence ng?
tvb should promote some newbies that just entered tvb like what they did when raymond and ron first came out
They are letting newbies like Tony Hung and Grace Chan to take the leads but the TVB fans are bashing them, Poor them.
getting some bashing isnt bad ron probably got the most bashing and still does
Why does he insist on referring to her as BB in public? Shouldn’t that be a nickname they use in private?
If he has a nickname for her, keep it private. I don’t think anyone wants to know what they call each other. Whether it’s sweetheart, honey bunny or darling, no need to advertise,
If this act is done by Ruco or some other well-liked actors here, most of the response here will be ‘Oh, it’s so romantic, he’s such a sweet boyfriend…’.
But, when it’s done by Raymond, it’s a bad thing.
I think it’s romantic and sweet of any guy to do it for their g/f.
I wanted to say this tons of time but Im afraid those fans will indicate me as die-hard fan and then use personal attacks as last time. Kidd, you have my word this time.
It sounds like Raymond’s bragging about his gifts for Karena.
Ruco will be a good or even better replacement for Raymond. Ruco has the best eye acting in TVB(in comparison Raymond overdoes his eye acting and go OTT route) and Ruco can also sing well, besides having a natural handsome face.
Any man spend two months to draw a picture for his gf can brag about it.
The good news is finally Ruco will be pushed to the front to fill in Raymond’s space, yay!
In the meantime my TVB fan friends please support Ruco at Yahoo HK Buzz award! He’s now ranking 3rd below two young artistes and can do better with our support! Please vote as much as you can the voting is unlimited! Thanks 🙂
https://hk.promotions.yahoo.net/buzz2014/page_rank.php?role=male
Congratulation to Raymond that you have reached to another level while some actors are fighting to get your place, it means you get a great position in their mind already.
Congratulation again
Ruco can replace Raymond all he wants! Raymond has been there done that and now it’s time to leave the dying TVB and move on and do something new.
GL to TVB in the future esp since their dramas aren’t as good as before and majority of the great actors I like have left or planning to leave or don’t appear often and so on.
I – agree with you. And I believe that all 620 favourite artists are leaving.
Though I agree that Raymond should leave TVB to venture out I don’t think it was a wise choice to sign with EEG. EEG is actually quite similar to the way TVB works and the HK movie and music industry is literally dead already. (With a Taiwanese film You are the apple of my eye staying at no 1 for best box office in HK, one can tell that HK lacks good local produced movies.)
I thunk it would have been better for him to sign with Huayi brothers.
not a wise choice? are you kidding? he is 100 million reacher with his signing. can you earn 100 million in 10 years? i think not in your whole life.hk movie and music industry is not dead they only lacks good succesors,many hk movies broke box office records in mainland china in the past years,thus i dont think they are dead.
I’m just a commoner (a pharmacist) but I’m able to get a fairly good income in 10 years’ time. Not exactly 100 million HKD but not too far behind considering that HKD value is quite low. So yes, I’ll be able to earn that sum in my lifetime, you shouldn’t jump on conclusion that fast. You don’t even know me.
EEG has the good relationship with China entertainment companies. And LF himself is building good relationship with Zhejiang TV. So I think it will be ok.
“she was completely taken by surprise by Raymond’s painting”
She probably said ” Damn, i thought he was going to suprise me with expensive sport cars. C’mon Huang Xiaoming gave it to Baby. Uhh. ” in her heart. Lol
I doubt that Karena would even consider to be with LF if he wasnt a rich heir and famous. LF is good but Karena is a 93 liner. You seriously believe this is ” True Love ” ? More like Love Because Of Money. Lol no offense
Wow her birthday celebration will properly go on for a month lol . She is sooo lucky!!
anyway, ruco can act and sing better than Raymond. ruco has the CHARM.
when is ruco handsomer then LF ? LF has his charm while ruco is bad at acting too not to say his singing …. let see who has the most fans lolz xD
You good sir are entitled to your opinion. Similarly my opinion of Raymond is that he’s ugly and can’t act or sing despite what his fans like to think. Thank you and have a good day.
BB…. ugly ? r u serious ? how many award he get for acting ha ? and if he r ugly … r u very handsome yourself ?
Jason good sir, you obviously don’t know the meaning of “to each his own”. Yes he’s ugly to me. Please don’t ask again, you’ll only get the same answer. As you know, awards don’t prove anything.Thank you.
When you compare LF’s face with his brother, you will note all the artificial … and you can easily guess/know his original look.
To me, Ruco baby is the most handsome, the best-looking, talented artist in this world that I have come across. His voice is the most beautiful to me. In other words, he is handsomer than….. in my eyes.
Here is a picture of LF in two series: A step into the past (1999) and The Virtuous Queen of Han (2013)
http://ww1.sinaimg.cn/mw1024/62188429gw1em2ma19lygj20df0idgo2.jpg
Tell me, what has been changed much through 14 years to be artificial?
Ridiculous how you fans keep saying about PS but if you really watched his old series, his face doesnt change that much.
Raymond did have PS but the exact extent of it, only he knows. One fact that can’t run away is that he did his nose. Maybe his chin too. Just my opinion.
One has to pay for that and it will make him aged quickly. Just compare DoDo and Lisa Wang who aged gracefully. You will note the difference even though Lisa is older than DoDo, Lisa looks much better.
Should use the pictures here to compare:-
http://www.zhiyinlady.com/yule/124897.html
Raymond had Ps, no doubt. His face changed A LOT. I saw his older series and now and frankly wow so much changes to his face and please don’t say baby fat or grew up. He looked different. The thing about Raymond is he stopped when he should and his enhancement basically enhanced his looks whilst still lookin the same. You want his original looks?Look at his brother. Frankly he looked very harsh before. Now softened a bit.
Forget pictures/images. Just watch LF’s old dramas and you will see all the PS that he had. That’s the best way. Beastly genes run in that family. LOL 🙂
I found these pics from old JS articles which discussed his plastic surgery:
http://i61.tinypic.com/2e6989d.jpg
Without PS would these fan girls swoon over that original face? The pic on the left made his profile look really scary, like the crescent moon!
It is up to the picture used to compare. There are bad pictures and there are good pictures. There are also pictures purposely edited for some intentions. Better to compare by the appearance in the series throughout the years and I dont see many changes to be claimed at all artificial.
I watched ALL of his series and I liked him since his first series released (ASITP). He has changes on face but basically, his facial features look the same. He doesnt has his nose grew up or his chin from flat to double or his eyes from one eyelid to two eyelids.
You want to compare his family gene, see here:
http://ww3.sinaimg.cn/large/6bebab9cjw1e4v3c99jegj20hs0npq4c.jpg
They look alike.
Dont exaggerate too much. If he is all artificial, well, I dont know what I should say about other TVB artists. ALL TVB artists, including your idol(s), fans.
@Jayne: Please approve the post.
FYI, I liked him since his first released series A step into the past. I like his acting there as well as his appearance. Putting the biased eyes out and then his face is nowhere near ugly in that series.
The changes in faces happened to all artists, not only TVB’s. To me, LF is in the group of artists who kept the most original facial features throughout the years. Think otherwise all want, I have my proofs. Your thinking wont make fact and so do mine.
Side note, I believe in all rumour about PS of TVB artists but I dont think it is necessary to repeat one thing again and again. Whatever, he left TVB so whoever replace him, it is all up to TVB, necessary for a comparison?
@Jayne: Please approve the post.
Thanks Anon. Wow the old pic on the right has different features and does resembles his brother
Rocky in the other picture:
http://ww3.sinaimg.cn/large/6bebab9cjw1e4v3c99jegj20hs0npq4c.jpg
The picture I posted also from the same year with the better angle and the result is so much different.
The chin?! No way! Not that protruding!!
I don’t get what you’re trying to show with the other pic and don’t see what’s so great about the angle either. I see a big similarity in Karena’ s chin and Raymond’s in that profile pic of Raymond from JS. The crescent shape profile is uncannily similar. I think they have”fu qi xiang” husband-wife look.
@anon: Different angle different result. LF always has pointy chin from his start, Watch Golden Faith to see. Karena hasnt been accused of PS anywhere but only here by you fans. Look at her child pic and pic when she first started, the same facial features. You used ONE pic, why I cant show some more?
If he is all artificial, well, All TVB artists can be considered the same way.
I don’t know whether LF ‘ face is artificial or not but he looks good n acts well.
Agree with you abt Ruco Chan. He is simply the best!!
@Anon: Other than you and some people here, I dont see any article linked Karena and PS. Actually she looks almost the same since her start. Watching her Magic to win and see.
Pictures of certain angle will give false impressions. This is why I suggest to see the actual appearance on TV than picture. You gave a picture and I gave one. In the picture I have given (a capture from ASITP), he doesnt have much differences throughout 14 years.
Moreover, you said you only use your picture, but your picture doesnt have the same angle of two pieces to compare. My picture provided more similar angles of different years. I believe every artists have some treatments for face to make themselves look better. Here, I want to say that LF still can keep his original look. His face doesnt change 180 degree to make himself a new person. Some people claimed so without proving properly.
In the end, I know you guys feel upset due to a comparison to put LF up and down other actor, but you are doing the same everyday. Do you consider the mood of other people? Or you give yourself the right to criticize but nobody can criticize your idols? Beauty is on the eyes of beholder.
Wasn’t Raymond first drama A Taste of Love? Raymond HAS changed over the years. I’ve watched him since the beginning. I’m not sure what he has done, but I wouldn’t absolutely say he PS-free.
I don’t know where i said that Karena had PS on her chin or whereever. I only said their crescent shaped profiles were uncannily similar. The pics i linked from JS are not meant for side by side comparison but to show the old pic of Raymond on the right with his current look. I don’t know why you’re in denial that he had some job(s) done. Google Raymond Lam Plastic surgery and you’ll see that the topic has been discussed since years ago, not just recently. It’s difficult for fans to accept that their idols are not natural born beauties but facts are facts. Yes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but there’s no denying that that profile pic of Raymond is one of the ugliest most unflattering shots of him.
Raymond look so difference comparing back when he 1st started out. def have some kind of enhancement/ PS done.
@Hannah: ASITP aired before ATOL. ATOL was filmed sooner but aired later. I referred to the first series audience saw him on TV (big roles, dont mention of his cameos)
I dont say he is PS-free (same to all other artists, none is PS-free) but I said he still can keep his original look throughout the years. His face didnt change that much.
@Anon: Replied above. I argue that he is not all artificial. Dont put word to my mouth. He has changes but not that much, judging from same angle pictures throughout the years, and by appearance on TV (which is clearer).
It is subjective but I think everyone has bad pictures, that is all. I can see that all the artists has at least a piece of news about PS, particularly the TVB artists. Some of them are really all artificial (not in good transform).
I agree with you, he’s not all artificial but some parts definitely are. Yeah everyone has bad pics but I haven’t seen one worse than that! It was freakin’ scary like his chin was carved from the moon and had a deep dimple running down the centre.
My initial purpose is only for the all artificial reference of roundhog and since you agree with it, anon, it is out of my job here about who also has worse picture. Up to eyes, I may think an artist has worse picture but you may think that artist always look heavenly good and vice versa. Cant argue about that.
Overall, I keep my opinion that LF doesnt has his face changed much. At least not 180 degree different or an unbelievable new height of nose or a face which cant move.
Like i said earlier, only he knows the exact extent.
Ruco is bad at acting and singin you say? Hahahaha. I think you’ve actually never watched Ruco’s performance.
I used to think Raymond is good looking despite with PS until he ages quite fast now especially after hooking up with Karena.
I think you only see the pictures.
BB… shut up
No, you started the insult, so you good sir, please shutup. You sir have no manners btw.
wow how I hope I can be ‘karena’ to have someone so loaded to woo me…I don’t have to work so many jobs a day to pay for my daughter education. ‘This kind of news really pissed poor ppl like me off. Same human but different destiny huh? Sigh!
BB…. r u saying yourself ha ? BB haha sound like a funny name lolz
Hahahaha, ir’s funny you should say so! Isn’t that what your idol calls his g/f? Tell him it’s a funny name! Muah hahaha! Lolz!
So you use this username to match how he calls his gf? Such a nice gesture of a fan in the cover of an anti :P. Ok, kidding. You dont need to repeat the ugly melody.
Lolz! I can call myself whatever I want. I don’t need to report or explain to you. Don’t shoot me! I wasn’t the one who said BB sounded like a funny name. It was jason who shot himself in the foot! Luckily he didn’t say it sounded stoopid.
I dont ask you to report or explain, I explained on your behalf above :p.
Alluka, if nothing else, i like your sense of humor (or warped logic depending on how you want to look at it). “…fan in the cover of an anti….”. Very ingenious indeed.
