Upgrading Myself; Raymond Lam Puts Effort In Work

I always told myself not to use looks to judge others, because when I don't smile, I look very serious. Raymond Lam gives me a feeling of not hardworking and uses his "smartness" all the time, but my judgement was wrong! Raymond not only has the potential the act, he can also sing and dance, and he is a rich handsome guy, is it kind of unfair?
To speak the truth, I didn't do any preparations for this interview, because I was so busy earlier, and before I've already done this twice (interview Kenneth Ma and Ron Ng), so I'm more relax! Raymond is a easy-to-talk person, plus we have similar hobbies, and the information I get from him, is the most of the three!
Newcomer Must Work Hard
I remember my first impression of Raymond was when he was the king in "A Step Into the Past", slowly walking down, wow! His eyes do give you a feeling that he'll kill you! Not women killer, but actually full of hatrid. At that time, I was a newcomer too and I was thinking, "Wow, this guy is so ancient looking?!" TVB suddenly having such a handsome guy around, so I paid close attention to him! Eh? He doesn't look like a newcomer.
Raymond says, "At that time, I was working hard to move forward, and just acted! I remember on the first filming day of "A Step Into the Past", we had to film the ending. At that time, I was working with Kwok Fung for the first time, I really need to thank him for trusting me!" Thinking back, Raymond thinks he was young, so there's nothing to be afraid of. He gave up his eduation overseas, and joined the actors' training class. At that time, Tavia Yeung, etc was his classmate. Everyone had dreams, and hopes, however, in the end, he had to wait at home for a month, "I was really scared! I questioned myself if I had chosen the right path, luckily my family supported me, so I continued to practice my singing, read more!"
Learned From Hosting
Afterwards, his first job was being a host at TVB8, Raymond never thought of hosting actually, but he admited that hosting in TVB8 was a great experience and he learned a lot. The most important was, he learned how to be in front of the camera, and interviewed many different artists, like Lesile Cheung, Faye Wong, etc. Another good thing was he had a lot of jobs, because he was the only boy host that is fluent in Mandarin!
Being the Older Brother
I really admire Raymond's singing, not only that he's the best singer in the company, but he also can be compared with the newcomers in the music industry, so whenever we sing karaoke with him, I would pick some of the good songs for him. Raymond actually learned how to sing when he was 15/16 years old, along with dancing, drawing lessons, and when he was in elementary school, he was in many recital contests. I remember when we were filming "Eternal Happiness", he purposely asked professionals to teach him Kung Fu.
When Raymond was little, he loved to observe things around him, so he can learn quickly, "My father has his own ways of teaching me, because my father was also the eldest son, so he uses the same identity to teach me: when younger siblings get in trouble, the oldest brother must take it all! Because my father believes that's the true meaning of an older brother!" No wonder his siblings love him.
Epilogue
I really have to thank Raymond Lam, because he's the leader of our group of artists with simliar age. That year, he was the main lead in "Eternal Happiness" and received pretty high ratings and comments, and it helped those newcomers, such as Ron Ng and I to have more opportunies to act.

The Beehive thanks ...
Fung's Label, Raymond's previous official website and its
webmistress, Sasa, for providing so much of Raymond's news and
information. Without FL, many of Raymond's fans would've been
like little losties, without any clue as to where to find
Raymond's news. FL kept us informed and updated for a total of
2 years. It officially closed on the 21st August 2006, but I
would still always remember it.
52raymond.com, also known as the Lam House.
It was my source of Raymond's media. The fans
there updated new clips or songs of Raymond's very quickly. It
was a brilliant forum, a true home to Raymond's fans. It
officially closed on the 1st September 2006, but I would still
always remember it.
Vickie. She's my beautiful Net friend with a strong command of the
Chinese language and very frequently she helps me with
translations. She's also excellent when it comes to graphics
and even though I haven't actually used any of her graphics in
The Beehive, I still thought that it was worth mentioning.
