The actor is said to have paid for his beau's extravagant purchases on their trip to Milan
TVB actor Raymond Lam was recently spotted coming back from his third holiday with new squeeze Karena Ng in a month. The lovebirds returned from their six-day Milan trip in style, traveling business class on the 12-hour flight.

According to reports, the two sat next to each other on the flight, with Karena immediately choosing to rest after boarding. Raymond spent his journey watching movies, constantly checking on his girlfriend and adjusting her blanket for her.

The 19-year-old is said to have woken up two hours later; the couple fought playfully on their seats before Raymond planted a kiss on her.

Raymond is said to have spent a small fortune in Milan, picking up the bill for all travel-related expenses and even Karena's shopping sprees. She reportedly picked up five Hermes Birkins, worth an estimated HKD1,500,000 (S$24,000). Additionally, she allegedly purchased multiple items from Louis Vuitton and Prada, also continuing her shopping spree until she boarded the plane.

A source close to the young star revealed that apart from getting a supplementary card from her actor-boyfriend, Karena has recently acquired a limitless American Express Black Card. The source declared, 'She started wearing Franck Muller shortly after dating him. She told him that she was going to get her driver's license and naturally received a car after she passed. She has so many pieces of branded clothing that they can't fit in her wardrobes and even generously offered them to her friends.'

Since the Raymond Lam & Karena Ng relationship went public, the couple have been inseparable. In just a short 20 days, the couple have already traveled to Tokyo, Okinawa and Milano together. Back in HK, the two take time off to celebrate Valentine's Day. Raymond loves Karena BB and seems very into the relationship.

Last night at 10pm, Karena BB and her company boss, HotCha and other friends were at the bar. Two hours later, Raymond surprisingly appeared with several other friends rushing over to the bar. Raymond knew there were reporters at the scene, but did not try to avoid anything. When Raymond got out of the car, he was seen wearing a ring on his left ring finger. Then he quickly walked into the bar to meet his girlfriend. It was understood, once Raymond got into the bar he greeted everyone and sat next to Karena BB.

After the bar, the couple wanted more and went for karoke with their friends. Karena took her company's car to the karaoke, while Raymond just followed behind in a taxi. Looks like Raymond put down his 'Young Pop King' role and stuck to his girlfriend like glue. The group played until 3am, most friends already left, but the couple continued playing hard until 4am. Karena left first with her manager and company boss. The couple played for a full 4 hours before going home.

Lin Xiawei Met 'Mrs. Raymond' and Said She's Good

Karena left after karaoke, but Raymond and another group of colleagues did another celebration. Perhaps because TVB executive Virgina Lok as there, so Raymond took his cousin Lin Xiawei along too. Reporters later contacted Lin Xiawei, she said she's been busy filming series and hasn't seen her 'big brother' Raymond. However, she has met her 'Ah So' Karena Ng already. Lin Xiawei said: "When they were shooting the film, I visited the set before and that time they should be dating already. (How did he introduce her?) Just like friends, we had dinner together before too. (Was Raymond really attentive towards Karena?) My brother had always been very attentive, very gentleman and takes good care of people. He was able to take care of her (Karena) and still pass me some food. (What do you think of your 'Ah So'?) She's pretty good! The most important is he likes her."

Since Raymond Lam started dating 19 year old Karena Ng, the couple had been on three vacations within a month! Following their Tokyo and Okinawa trips, last night the couple were spotted at the airport coming back from their 3rd vacation in Milano. Raymond was first to appear pushing out his luggage, when asked where he just got back from? The impatient Raymond said: "I'm on vacation now, so I don't have to explain. (Where is your girlfriend?) I don't have to give you the schedule right? (3 vacations in 1 month?) Good morning! (Girlfriend will come out after you?) I don't have to tell you. (Came back to HK early because your girlfriend has work?) Thanks!"

Ten minutes later, Karena BB came out with a pleasant smile on her face. There was a group of male fans waiting for her at the airport. Walking with just her two hands in her pockets, it appears her boyfriend had already taken care of her luggage for her. It also seems like she and Raymond prepared their responses to the media. When asked why they're leaving the airport separately? She just said "Thank you" as a response. When asked if she turned down several jobs because of this relationship? Is her company upset? She defended herself: "I was shooting a Mainland drama for 3 months. (Why are your hands in your pockets?) I'm on vacation, I don't want to talk too much about my personal life." But when Karena took one of her hands out of her pockets to open the taxi door, she 'carelessly' revealed a ring on her left index finger. It looks like the 'wedding ring' has been exposed!

Last night, Karena attended the celebration dinner for the film Hotel Deluxe with Ronald Cheng, Fiona Sit and Lynn Hung. She smiled sweetly and admitted she went on vacation with Raymond: "This time, we went to Milano and Florence. We went for several days mainly to look at the architecture there. Raymond had studied there before." A few weeks ago when the couple came back from Tokyo, Karena stuttered and denied staying in the same hotel room as Raymond, but the public criticized the response is too fake. This time when Karena was asked whether they stayed in the same hotel room, she chose not to respond. "That is too personal, I am not responding. (Secretly married?) Nope. I will tell you all of the happy events. (You're wearing a ring?) I bought it myself, he didn't give it to me. I will only accept it at a different stage in the relationship. (Plan to get married over there?) Haven't thought of that far into the future. (Are you afraid of getting pregnant?) That definitely won't happen. Take it step by step. Marriage comes first, that is one of the biggest events in life and very important to a girl. It is necessary to have a full and complete plan."

Calls Lover By Real Name "Ah Man"

Karena BB later exposed Raymond has not changed his weakness of being late all the time. "Usually he has this problem, I have to rush him. (Why did he want you to take the taxi?) I suggested it, I want to keep a low-profile. We knew there would be reporters. (He's a big man?) No! (He's romantic?) Usually, I can guess everything he does. (How do you two refer one another? Honey?) I don't call him that, I call him by his real name Ah Man." (Raymond's real name is Lam Wui Man)

Raymond's manager responded on his behalf during a telephone interview: "Raymond's vacation is over today (2/28). He'll be attending an autograph session on March 3rd. (Raymond and Karena's secret trip to Milano?) I knew he was on vacation. (Karena has a ring on her, rumored they're secretly married?) I haven't heard about that, personal matters, have to ask them." It was understood, Raymond and Karena's 3 vacations within a month cost them about HK$500,000.

Yesterday Karena Ng attended a fashion event after her trip to Tokyo with boyfriend Raymond Lam. This is her first public appearance since Raymond announced their relationship. When Raymond was mentioned, Karena appeared nervous the whole time and stuttered. When asked about her first Valentine's Day with Raymond, she revealed they had dinner in Causeway Bay, "There were other friends too, we had a great time together. It feels kinda boring with just the two of us. (What kind of gift did you get?) Didn't get one yet." Earlier Raymond mentioned he wanted to publicly hold his girlfriend's hand and walk down Causeway Bay, asked if they held hands on Valentine's Day? Sh said: "No, want to keep a low-profile relationship."

In regards to their Tokyo trip, Karena expressed she told her parents about it beforehand and she had a pleasant several day trip. Asked if she minds the trip being called their 'honeymoon'? Karena said: "Actually, there were a few other friends that went with us, but we departed from different locations." Asked who stayed with her in the hotel room? She stuttered: "There were men and women, this is too personal, I don't want to talk about it, but we stayed in separate rooms." When asked if she and Raymond stayed in separate rooms? She nodded implying yes. She added: "This time, our trip primarily revolved around eating. (Paid separately?) Friends eating together, each took turns to pay for the bill."

Fans tracked them throughout their trip, Raymond's boarding pass was even posted on the internet. Karena defended her boyfriend: "That is too personal, that is not the right thing to do. It's fine to take pictures." Also, she denied she visited Raymond's family in Xiamen, but admitted she did send new year greetings to them through the phone, she said: "Let nature take its course, no rush at all."

Raymond said its because of his girlfriend and family that he decided to announce the relationship without notifying anyone. Karena frankly expressed she did not know Raymond would make their relationship public, but she is grateful that he defended and clarified for her. She said: "I really admire him because of this. I never thought he would say such thing, so I was surprised when I heard about it, but I'm happy. (Raymond's fans complained?) In anything, there will always be people that like and dislike. There are times for work and times to relax, that is very normal. (You are the first girlfriend Raymond announced while still in the relationship?) I'm happy. (He's responsible?) He has always been, really has the sense of responsibility. He takes good care of his friends." When asked if the love sparked while they were filming together? She emphasized from the time they met to when they started dating, it was all taken one step at a time, it was not sudden and unexpected. What about Raymond's pursuit tactics? She said: "I'll keep this to myself, a small secret." What kind of strengths does Raymond have? Karena sweetly smiled: "He's attentive, treats his friends well and most importantly, a man should have a sense of responsibility." When speaking of their large age gap, Karena expressed she has no problem communicating with Raymond, "His personality is a lot like a child, he loves toys and games. The things he likes and topics, we can communicate. (Filming together as a couple team?) I don't know, let my company make the arrangements."

TVB Siu Sang Raymond Lam admitted to be dating 19 year old Karena Ng, newcomer in the movie industry, and its been a sign of relief for him. The couple take advantage of every minute, every second to go out on dates. Yesterday, a Netizen discovered the couple at Shanghai airport ready to depart to Japan, for a sweet Valentine's Day celebrate.

Earlier, Raymond met up with his good friends Kate Tsui, Mandy Wong and Rebecca Zhu for a new year's meal. TVB's 'Chok King' Raymond Lam won the 'Most Popular Male Singer' award late last year and before the Snake year began, he announced his girlfriend is 19 year old Karena, that's double happiness for him in both work and love! The relieved Raymond started relaxing, it was understood he took his girlfriend back to Xiamen to meet his parents on the 2nd day before Chinese New Year, but the couple only stayed for a night. Yesterday, they rushed to the airport to celebrate Valentine's Day in Japan, they can't lose a second of their time to be together!

There is even evidence, the 'Raymond-Karena' photo at the Shanghai airport was posted on Weibo. They were seen dressed in a couple's outfit, both with shades and a sweet smile. Even if someone secretly took a photo of them, they didn't know. Raymond's manager, expressed last night that he's on vacation now and she had heard about his vacation plans earlier, but she's not sure who he's going with. "Since someone took a picture, then I hope they'll have a good time." Karena's manager replied as well: "Karena is currently on vacation, it's her personal time, we will not get into her business."

Kate Tsui also had a prosperous year, earlier she had some time, so she grabbed Mandy, Rebecca and Raymond for dinner. The four of them had 'lifting up' dishes, the meaning is for them to have a 'Fung Shan' lift ( 風生水起 - 'raising of wealth') in the coming year.

Raymond frankly expressed he does not hope to have a high-profile relationship, no wonder he and Karena had to secretly go to Japan to celebrate their first Valentine's Day; Last year, Kate had both fame and profit, in the Snake year she hopes to further develop her career in the film and television scene and collaborate with more seniors; This year, Mandy hopes to create sparks with her new partners and bring a refreshing feeling to audience; Rebecca revealed she has already set up meetings for new year greetings with friends.

Yesterday Raymond Lam and Kate Tsui were invited to the watch brand Ernest Borel's store opening. Recently Raymond has been preparing for his HK coliseum concert, but that doesn't stop his rumors. It was rumored he and 19 year old Karena Ng have been cohabiting in Mid-Level, Hong Kong. That day when Raymond won JSG's "Most Popular Male Singer" award, he thanked "BB" on stage. It was said the "BB" Raymond referred to was Karena. In regards to this, Raymond came prepared and asked reporters: "Don't you guys have a rumor to ask me about?" He reiterated that he and Karena are just friends and the rumor is completely false. "I was a little frightened myself when I saw the headline. I have never been to the location shown in the published photos nor have I seen that place before. (Are you renting a place for her?) No, I basically don't know what's happening! Thank you to the magazines for helping me promote for my concert, but I don't want this kind of publicity. Let me make a fair statement, I've been a newcomer myself, I hope the media don't write about her like that and twist the truth. That is so miserable!" Raymond generously responded to the rumors and defended Karena, "I've been a newcomer before too. Newcomers will have all kinds of news, but this society needs positive energy. Don't write stories that we don't even know about!"

Raymond clarified the "BB" he thanked at the JSG awards was just a member in his family. When speaking of Karena praising that he looks the most Chok when he's sleeping? Raymond did not deny and said: "I've filmed with her before and we have break times in between, so of course she's seen me sleep before. I'm used to sleeping a stabled position and won't m[/quote]ove around too much."

Kate appeared in a red low-cut dress and did not hesitate to bend down to dot the lion dance. It was rumored because of the Mainland permission issues, the Lunar New Year film I Love Hong Kong 2013 will have to delay its release for 2 weeks. When Kate heard this, she was very surprised and shouted: "Really?! I haven't heard of that rumor before, but this news is terrifying because I actually have more screen time then previous years. I hope this news isn't true, the Mainland market is very important."

Raymond Lam and newcomer Karena Ng were rumored while shooting new film Love is...Pyjamas. Last night at the film's promotional event, Raymond's good friends Wu Chun, Kate Tsui and a large group of fans supported him. Raymond rarely speaks of his relationships, but when asked if he's worried fans won't like the rumors he has with Karena? He said: "Nope! (Afraid to see Karena later?) Afraid of what? (Awkwardness?) Of course not! Actually after the rumor, we collaborated in a film and always see each other."

In fact, the two are indeed close. When the film promotion ended, they secretly went on a late night date, but to avoid attracting too much attention, they invited other 'light bulbs' to shield them. Karena came out of the theater at 10:45pm, and was accompanied by Wu Chun to Sunshine Plaza. As for Raymond, he left the scene quietly long before. To avoid getting photographed of them on the date, the two went separately.

At 1:45am, Raymond left first and met Teresa Mo in the lobby. The two chatted for a moment before Teresa told him there were reporters outside. However, Raymond still generously walked out of the building and happily greeted reporters. At 2:30am, Karena, Edmond Wong and her manager walked out together. Karena was in a great mood just like Raymond, and didn't mind that their underground relationship surfaced.
