[Article] Raymond Lam Fung; You're The Best Idol in The World - 15/12/2006

Including today, 15th December 2006, I have become a supportive fan of Raymond Lam Fung for 1 year and 9 ½ months. Well, all of you must have wanted to know why a male like me will turn to be a fan of Raymond. Each time while telling my friends that my idol is Raymond, they will ask: “What’s good about Raymond?”. Of course Raymond has a lot of admirable qualities. Or else, do I still seek him as my idol?

Raymond Lam, 27, born with a silver spoon in his mouth in Xiamen, China actually has a lot of good personalities – nice, kind, friendly, caring, loving, polite, conscienscious, handsome, cool, hardworking, good in acting and singing, intelligent, smart, etc. 28th February 2005 – a red-letter day which will forever be embedded in my mind. It is an extreme meaningful day for me as starting from that day, I begin to admire Raymond. His character as Kau Zhong in Twin of Brothers is really awesome and this caught my attention to him throughout the whole series. He is quite naughty there, a big boy who like to put a fight on with Yuk Chi. However, at here, I would like to take an opportunity to thank a girl from my class profusely. If she does not lend me Twin of Brothers [which I bought later] and I do not know her, I would not be able to admire Raymond and this article will not be appearing in my blog and Raymond Forest.

Maybe because of Twin of Brothers, I admire Raymond. Maybe because of Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion [FYFY], I have become a loyal fan of Raymond. Maybe because of La Femme Desperado, I have become a forever Raymond’s fan. Raymond Lam is a nice, kind, and friendly person which can clearly be seen both in characters on TV screen and in his real life. Although I had only seen him for two times during his function in Penang and in TV City, Hong Kong, it is enough. It is already enough to tell me that this guy is nice and kind-hearted. When I met him in Hong Kong, I knocked him accidentally and all my Biology notes fell on the floor but he was kind enough to help me to pick up my notes. [When I knocked him, I did not know that the guy is HIM; I read Biology that time as my SPM exam was just around the corner] In real life, he is kind and friendly to everyone; his family, his friends and all his fans. Wherever he goes, there will be fans of him, hoping to take a glance at him, taking photographs and the most important, AUTOGRAPH. He is not frustrated although his fans crowd him while he is busy filming a series. He tries as hard as he could to fulfill all his fans’ demands. He also spares some of his precious time to go to Fung’s Label and Fung Forever to leave some message to his fans. He is nice to everyone too. He is happy while mixing with others. Although he has not worked with Roger and Steven together, he still can socialize well with them and fools around like a bunch of high-school teenagers. I like him for he always put a smile on his face wherever he is, no wonder Melissa calls him a “Sunshine Boy”.

Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion is one of the greatest series of Raymond that I have ever seen. As a cool character of Fung Hang Lit, he indeed looks boring and monotones. Nevertheless, if you look deeper, he is actually a caring and loving person. This can be seen through his love to the Mongolians, Chun Mong Yew, Gun Bing Wan, Hon Pak and etc. Even though Gun Bing Wan lies to him for umpteen times, he still cares for her. Although Chun Mong Yew misunderstands that he has stolen the rain-ceasing sword, he is not disappointed, he just continues to show his love for her. Although Hon Pak seeks him as an enemy after knowing the truth, he still helps him (Hon Pak) by hurting himself in the end. Do not see Kau Zhong as an evil character. He also shows his greatest love for Lei Sau Ning and Song Yuk Chi in Twin of Brothers. Raymond in real life also cares and loves for others, especially his family and his pet, Mimi. As his car has only two seats, it is difficult to fetch his brother and his sister to travel together. Thus, he decides to buy another car in the future which has more seats. I am thinking and wishing, if Raymond becomes my eldest brother one day… Although I know that this is impossible, I still hope that it will turn to be a reality.

For those reporters who had interviewed Raymond before, they will know that Raymond is a courteous person. After an interview or photographs session, Raymond will bow and thank those reporters in a polite way. Could u find a star which will bow and thank to the reporter after being interviewed? Maybe because of these reasons, I admire him even more deeply. Another praising quality which I would like to emulate is his hard work to proof that he can. I think you all still remember Daniel’s words in Yummy Yummy: “If you think you can, you can”. Raymond tries to work hard and now he has become a well-known actor and popular not only in mainland, China, but also in overseas such as Malaysia. His recent modern TVB Series, La Femme Desperado managed to peak high ratings – 41 points and won the best series award during the anniversary. He works hard to proof that he is not depending at all on his father’s relationship with TVB to become famous. In your view, has Raymond succeeded in proofing to everyone? Nonetheless, he is quite conscienscious. He cares about his appearance. There was one time when he was being interviewed in Malaysia; the reporter said that he often looked himself in the small mirror that he grabbed from his pocket. Nevermind, man also wants to be handsome and looks nice, right? It is not wrong at all. He also shows his conscienscious in his series. For a good example, in Survivor’s Law, he makes a handbag for Ah Ling; in Twin of Brothers, he makes a grass ring for Sau Ning; in Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion, he makes grasshopper and birds for Mong Yew. [Looks like Raymond is professional in using this type of method to “chase” the female] Those stuffs are really nice and cute. Of course he does this to show his great love to the female characters, is it romantic?

From stepping into entertainment showbiz until now, all his hard work have been paid. He won a lot of awards, such as most improved character, best theme song, favourite character, and recently, in Astro Awards, he managed to win BEST ACTOR AWARD, which he had dreamt for a long time. [Looks like my 8 votes for Kau Zhong is useful too] Besides good in acting, Raymond also has a good singing skill especially “Realise” (Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion sub theme song) which I have heard for N times. I do not know why, I really love his voice because his voice is INDEED VERY GOOD! And again, I do not know why, if I am sad, after hearing “Realise”, I will be calmed down and become happy back. I really agree the statement saying that Raymond makes a fan happy. Each time while buying VCD in rental store, I will just grab the VCD if I see “Lam Fung” in the list. Therefore, I hope that Raymond will release an album soon. Although I know that the original one will cost an arm and a leg, I will try my best to get it as I support him. Remember, Raymond loves to sleep when he does not need to film. He is quite intelligent as he knows how to steal some times to sleep. There is one time while filming Twin of Brothers, when he is being made-up, he is actually sleeping! The in charged put a tissue beside [Said by Ron] his mouth, fearing of the “water” which may flow out from his mouth, ha-ha! He is smart in using his eyes to show different feelings while filming. Fung Hang Lit in Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion, [all the fans have known about it] through his eyes with shining blue contact lenses, we can know that he is a cool person and his feelings at that time – sad, angry, strange, showing love for Chun Mong Yew, etc. Well, all of us like to see him in contact lenses. He looks nice with that.

Having all these admirable qualities, everyone likes Raymond, I like Raymond! You can see the results; Raymond has become very popular now and his fans are increasing from seconds to seconds. Well, let’s wish Raymond’s dreams will become true and he will be success in the future. I hope that he will film more and more great series; sing a lot of nice songs.

Raymond Lam Fung – You are the best!
