The thing about writers is that they might be eccentric, but they are REAL. Here's a photo of Miguel Syjuco and Wena Poon queuing up to get Dai Sijie's signature. How Cool Is That?The good thing about persuading the gang in the office to take this project is that I do, honestly feel very very honoured to get the chance to meet these awesome writers. Wena Poon is just cool. She is real, she is personable, she is talented and she is witty. What else can you ask for in a writer (I hear some of you say 'Alcoholism', but no, we're not talking about that today..)
Dai Sijie on another hand, is just a lovely lovely man. Obviously a person who has endured hardship and has seen the Cultural Revolution and its ugly sides while being 're-educated' in China, Dai Sijie is very much a storyteller. Full of anecdotes, this man is just a pleasure to be around.
There's no wonder why both Miguel & Wena are queuing up for his autographs...!
