Raymond Lam and Leila Tong were invited to Macau yesterday, to promote some whitening products for Clinque. Raymond also had to rush to film HOG 2, which will air during the Autumn Moon Festival. Even though there were several studios in TVB which had flu outbreaks, Raymond said he's lucky he wasn't the source, but still needed to take anti-biotics to improve his defences. He revealed that HOG 2 will air 20 episodes before the Olympics, and then continue airing after it. He believes this will not interrupt the momentum, rather it will keep the audiences longing for more, because there will be climaxes in every episode. It will be Mother's Day this Sunday, Raymond's mother returned to HK recently, even though he has to work that day, he will definitely take some time to have dinner with his mum and plans to give her a handbag as a gift.
Fighting against “easily red”
As for whitening, Raymond openly admits that he will look twice at girls who have white skin with redness shining through (think snow white!). Both eyes should have life and never have any dark circles, and long hair is a must have. For himself he has thin skin so his face goes red easily. When asked whether Moses Chan (who plays his brother in the series) gets easily red as well, he laughs and says Moses' face gets red unusually. Actually they're quite shy. About Moses' face goes red every time the reporters ask about rumoured girlfriend Bernice – Raymond says even if they don't talk about her, even thinking about it makes Moses' face go red. So will his face go red when asked about rumoured girlfriend Linda Chung? He fightingly said, “Just see whether my face goes red now? (Your ears are red!) My ears go red easily, his (Moses) face goes red.”
Leila was called “black girl”
When Leila was young she was called “black girl”, and during “Twin of Brothers” some people have criticised that they have never seen an angel (? her character anyway) so tanned. Plus in summer she likes to swim, so her skin will only turn lighter in winter. She is resting now after filming a series, so at home she's learning cooking skills from her mum. She would like to cook some home style Indonesian dishes for her mum on Mother's Day, plus some whitening products as her mum recently likes to plant vegetables outdoors, so mum and daughter can both have white skin. Also she was discovered wearing an ear pressure point patch, she said she got a cold and was coughing while filming, so she was referred to a Chinese medicine doctor. As the ear pressure point patch worked very well, when she got better she kept using it to maintain her health.
