From Reel Life to Real Life...the Love Story Continues!

Since the TVB anniversary , Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung has been reknown as TVB's golden couple. The names of 'Oscar' and 'Kiko' was on the tip of all viewer's tongue. Some might hate them for their characters being so easily manipulated by others but in essence the pair were the only ones in the whole series who were strong enough to love without hesitation. TVB Newsflash's fresh new cover story is going to venture into the 'real' life of the Raymond and Tavia.

Earlier in the morning, with a mug of caffe mocha in my hands I was keen to interview the pair. The meeting place? A coffee shop in the heart of Causeway Bay. When they arrived together one can immediately notice the sweetness of their smiles, the way Raymond led Tavia in the coffee shop and how his hands was on her back as the stunning actress sat down.

The interview started shortly after a quick joke whilst the waiter took the order (for Tavia a cinnamon tea and for Raymond a cup of espresso- the pair claimed they had something to eat at TVB studio prior to their arrival). When I mentioned TVB acting class it seems to have brought fond memories to them.

"We see each other in class but I never really talked to her before since there was a lot of people" Raymond recollected "but once the instructor paired her up with me in this scene we were supposed to act out..." he turned to Tavia "wasn't it legend of the Condor Heroes?"

"Yeah it was" Tavia agreed

Raymond smiled before continuing "Yeah it was like- we clicked. The instructor gave us several working opportunities before we grad. Of course we also met Ron. He was in the dancing class next door."

Being amused by all these sudden outburst of memories, I conjured up my courage to ask Tavia was it true that she had a crush on Ron Ng as she had claimed in another interview. She bursted out laughing saying it was one of those silly crush people have from time to time but she's over it and she's still good friends with Ron who shared the same manager. So what about Raymond?

"Did I ever have a crush on this guy?" She laughs, pointing at the actor sitting next to him.

"Hey I want to know too!" Raymond had protested jokingly "Me or Ron? You can't have both!"

Tavia pretended to think it over before answering "Mmm....maybe"

In responding to their current raise in popularity after the airing of the pair expressed they have to thank all their supporters. As for their numerous rumors they continued to have their lips sealed claiming that it is just the start of their career. Raymond replied earnestly saying "I want to earn enough money before making a life-long commitment because I'm quite serious when it comes to relationships. I am not the impulsive type to make a promise that I can't keep but yes I would like to have a family in due time..."

On the topic of Raymond's new Taiwanese series with actress Tammy, he claimed everything was going great. "The only thing is our (Raymond and Tavia's) fans were always saying how we never had a piggyback picture taken like the one I had with Tammy...so to satisfy them Tavia and I purposely posed exactly the same as the one I did with Tammy on TVB Newsflash's Cover!"

Tavia pointed out that they actually had a public-piggyback during Promotion. When chatting about her character in the series as Lee Sau Ning she said it was quite sad to see her character ending that way "its because deep down she's like any other girl who wants to be with the man she loves but because of various circumstances she cannot lose herself to her desires and had to let go..."

It was known during the filming of TOB all the cast got along together great. Christina Ng, Leila Tong and Tavia also formed a knitting club to knit scarves during their precious free time. Raymond here made a complaint "What's the use of having a rumoured girl friend when she never knitted me a scarf?!"

Hmm...true but what's the blue one I see hanging around his neck when he was filming the series?
