So, I’m really digging my WLU marketing class. It’s great just to have one class that is not planning-related—- just to keep you sane from the abundance of papers I have to write.

Anyways, my marketing group is super cool. I work with these two mature students (and this other WLU student)— and I’m becoming more “see lai” because of them.

On a side note, see lai is a Chinese term defined as middle-aged women who perform most of the household duties, who in Tiffany’s definition are “long winded woman, slightly overweight who enjoys to gossip, make soup, and plays Mahjong.” Maybe you would disagree with the definitions :P

So yes, my group are pretty much that— my definition anyway— but still carry a full-time job. They enjoy talking about their children, and I get so intrigued in their discusssion, because you just don’t normally interact like this. We were talking about how one of my group member’s teenage daughter is so hard to manage, and telling me how she doesn’t understand us Generation Y’s, and they were asking me for advice to ‘cure’ her adolescent daughter— I had no advice for her, c’mon surely we’re in the same generation, but tweens are yet to be understood.

The funny thing is that I enjoy talking to them. Last night, when we get sidetracked on our project (again), and I was ranting about how I can’t and hate to cook. Michelle, one of my group members, stepped in a gave me a few pointers for easy, healthy cooking. OMG. These ladies are too cool.

Just you wait, we’re going to start having tupperware parties, and oh Mary Kay parties! OMG. lol.

Another great thing is that they’re so eager to work! Oh they’re just great. Maybe I, too, will be a see lai one day. Hmm, Matthew, be careful what you wish for.
