Oh, these students….

0331-0605-2610-1957_young_woman_sleeping_at_table0071-0804-0812-1749_pencil_character_writing_an_a_on_a_students_paperAs it defines by elder generation, students – strong, creative youth community, who present the future of nation,….bla-bla-bla….The main question is - do we, students worry about this, when we are just students? Our student life is full of adventures, problems, some kind of daily issues….and we have to manage with them. In the routine of the daily student life we sometimes forget or even do not think about our “global mission” as the future of nation. =P As a simple student of not simple university, i will cover aspects, moments of general student life, which are also not simple…

Start: Simple morning of student. “Dzzyyyn-Dzzyyyn!!!” Oh, again this alarm…at six thirty!…Hate mondays! I have four lectures and first at eight thirty!….well i have time to rest another five minutes….and another five minutes….other more five minutes…..After “some” five minutes you open your eyes…MY GOD!!!! TIME IS 7.30!!!! You wear clothes, wash yourself, take bag and run to the car (in good case) or the bus station (in not good case)) in hurry! Now….you’re in the bus…with other 30 people without no idea who is standing on your feet (!), who uses this horrible perfum, why this girl almost “lying on you”….and where is your bag (?)….While tripping in these uncomfortable conditions you see the other students in their own cars…an you start to hate them because they have car!…..  You arrive late to university, institude, whatever…and run to the hall….while running you inventing words, which you’ll say to lecture in order to come in….Well the morning was typical, so-so…nothing interesting….LUNCH TIME….Students are studying, working hard. Usually we have more than 3 lecturers in one day and of course we are young and growing organisms, so we have to eat well. It is good, if your grill feeds you with tasty, cheap food, but if not??? It is the kind of problem…(heh, but not for our KIMEP students, we have more than 4 places to eat)Also this terrible number of students, who standing by line, waiting their turn to cash…Students of other univesities satisfies with “pirojki i bulochki” za 50 tenge and tea for 25 tenge….=) it is enough! Economy! Crisis you see….By the way, this facts bases on true stories of students… Next, we had not bad lunch, now it is time to study! Never forget!!! You’re the student! Your main purpose is to study!!! (I imaginated my mum, saying these words=p)…I suppose, there were a such place…hmm.Yeah! Of Course!..

Oh, my favoirate library! The amazing place, where borns conscience of student to education and at the same time dreams come to you) Every self respected student have to visit library at least one time per year….Not so often isn’t it? =D On midterms and finals lib is become full of students, so woman in reception always surprises: “How many students we have?”…And we surprised: “How many chapters we have to read?” “My god?….” That’s why visit the lib more often than once a year)

to be continued…

my car-crush with police car

It was a march 8, I was with my girlfriend all evening till the night. suddenly we realized that it is too late and that we must get home because we had to wake up early next day. so we quickly paid the check and went  home. at the way to her home on the speed of 120 kph on Kunayev st. suddenly i’ve seen a police car turning to the left from the right line of the road. unfortunately range was too small to avoid a crush. after few seconds we heard a scratch of brakes and then BANG!!!!

we get out the car, fortunately safe. we was arguing for about 30 minutes. my car wasn’t so broken but the running gear of the police car wasn’t the subject to restoration.

 

although we both broke up the rules, I said that i’ll repair their car in order not to have a problems with the court. the next day i asked proffesionals about how much will it cost, and they said like 2000$ for police car and 500$ for mine. but i had only 800$. then I found a car service outside the Almaty in the “Kyzyltu” settlement. they made my car for 500$ but the police car for only 300$. they just welded all the parts that must have been changed. I do not know weather that car still working or not, but i know that that guy from the police asked to change him the car after some time.

it was really good experience for me.

Sky…

From some time (from what time I don’t know) I love to photo sky…Everytime it’s different. Sometimes clean,sometimes with clouds, sometimes dark,sometimes colorful.

In July I was in Prague,so I photo sky there too =))) So I have one of the best pictures of the cloud in the form of heart! We were going to the airport in the car,when I lift my eyes to the sky ,I saw a cloud in form of heart. I was shoked. Thanks to God,my camera was in my bag. So I asked my aunt to stop driving car,so I could photo it =). 

I like sky,but when there white clouds =))). I don’t know why I like it…may be I’m romantic? No…it’s impossible =) May be I like sky with clouds,because it seems really amazing…In every cloud you can find everything you want or everything for what you have imagination…

My favourite place =)

The place where you can find me every Friday & Saturday is LOUD Lounge Bar.

Its adress: Kunaev street 54. Telefone: 7(727)273-36-65

Working hours: M-F from 12:00 till last guest; Sat-Sun from 17:00 till last guest. LOUD has 3 halls.

First of all, I like this place because of its contingent. There are always interesting, beautiful and glamorous people. Atmosphere is really good. And the DJ always plays new music.

To say honest,LOUD is place where you can meet KIMEP students(KIMEP students everywhere) =) Even if you will be there on Monday at 13:00. Also in LOUD you can meet new people.

Also when was event: “Miss KIMEP” LOUD Lounge Bar was one of the sponsors.

Also LOUD Lounge Bar not only bar,but also it has billiards.

But LOUD has 2 minuses:

1) If you will come there at Friday or Saturday at 21:00 be sure,it wouldn’t be place for you

2) Prices are not low,but the average account for 2 people will be under 10000 tenge(~85$)

Anyway I like this place,so as I said you can find me there at Friday & Saturday. =)

Haruki Murakami in my life

Even if it is sorrowful for me to realize, but the conception of “FASHION” reached already the literature, that side of our life, which can not be under the mainstream, though it is. Omnipresent “FASHION” has already made a choice for us, what to eat, to listen to and read….anyway, I must say THANK YOU, FASHION!!! Thank YOU, MAINSTREAM!!! Because only due to it I found my favorite, marvelous, admirable, fascinating, magnificent, fantastic and simply SUPER author –Haruki Murakami!250px-harukimurakami1

Haruki Murakami is popular Japanese writer. His prose is very unusual and self-concentrated. His books might seem to be absolutely non-understandable, but in my opinion, they are really deep and truthful. My favorite one – “Norwegian Wood” – is very gentle, fragile, romantic and youthful. Trilogy of Rat –“Hear the Wind Sing”, “Pinball 1973”, “A Wild Sheep Chase” and continuation “Dance Dance Dance”– deep, sometimes very hard to read, sometimes funny, but always sensitive. “South of the Border, West of the Sun” – about shattering power of love or of desire and memories. Mix together simplicity and complexity of life, depression, sex, women, friends, books, non-standard humor, bear and jazz and you got it – Haruki Murakami!!!!

There are more his books I need to read, and I’m happy about it! I strongly recommend everybody to read him! And if you do so, please start from “Norwegian Wood”!

Young generation

“My epoch in football finished with Zidane, Ronaldo, Raul and when Henry betrayed Arsenal” – says my closest friend, who was the greatest fan of Real Madrid and Arsenal ever. Today I replaced her on this uneasy business to be football fan, though I support different teams, except Arsenal, I am the only link between her and this beautiful world of European football. However this is not the main idea of this entry. Despite the fact that such SUPERSTARS as Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Maldini, Figo, Julio Baptista, already quit playing or on their way to do so, contemporary soccer lost a lot, but at the same time it gets much more! As it is said, new generation always surpass previous. About this New Generation of young great and talented players I’d love to write today.

Last year winner of Golden Ball, Best Halfback of Champions League, Best Football player FIFA, Best Player in Italia and lots of other awards, 26 year old Brazilian Rickardo Izecson Dos Santos Leite or simply KAKA – number 22 halfback of AC Milan (and by the way, my favorite player, after Zidane!) starts this list of young and talented.
785542

Last year Silver Ball and Bronze Ball winners 23 year old Argentinean Lionel Messi (FC Barselona) and 22 year old Portugal Christiano Ronaldo (Manchester United). These guys aren’t even 25, but already receive such significant awards! By the way, Last year winners are the youngest winners in the history ever! This year C. Ronaldo has won English Premier League and Champions League – European most prestigious competitions and I believe that he will win Golden Ball 2008 in December.5692629331

Cesc Fabregas – 21 year old Spanish halfback of FC Arsenal. Cesc was the 8 in the list of pretendents on Golden Ball 2007 when he was only 20. This year he won EURO 2008 with Spain, and just recently is claimed as Capitan of FC Arsenal!21581491_fabregas_11

There are lots of young players, today they are only 17-19 year teenagers, who’s gonna be the world’s greatest in two-three years. These are my own top 5: Theo Walcott (England; FC Arsenal), Alexandre Pato(Brazil; AC Milan), Eduardo da Silva (Croatia; FС Arsenal), Nani (Portugal; Manchester United), Rafael da Silva (Brazil; Manchester United).0023-large

Here is the list provided by World Soccer: Sadick Adams (Atletico Madrid) Ismail Aissati (PSV Eindhoven) Alexandre Pato (Milan) Anderson (Manchester United) Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid) Gareth Bale (Tottenham) Ever Banega (Boca Juniors) Karim Benzema (Lione) Bojan Krkic (Barcellona) Breno (San Paolo) Gerardo Bruna (Liverpool) Diego Bounanotte (River Plate) Macauley Chrisantus (Amburgo) Dumitru Copil (Hearts) Lorenzo De Silvestri (Lazio) Angel Di Maria (Benfica) Franco Di Santo (Audax) Kermit Erasmus (Sundown) Fabio (Fluminense) Fabio Coentrao (Benfica) Maquane Fellaini (Standard Liegi) Guilherme (Cruzeiro) Nour Hadhria (Club African) Rabul Ibrahim (Sporting Lisbona) Damian Ismodes (S. Cristal) Kerlon (Cruzeiro) Toni Kroos (Bayern Monaco) Lulinha (Corinthians) Sapol Mani (Maranatha) Juan Manuel Mata (Valencia) Cristian Nazarith (Cali) Aaron Niguez (Valencia) Daniel Opare (Ashanti) Ransford Osei (Kesseben) Fran Merida (Arsenal) Nikolay Mihailov (Liverpool) Mesut Ozil (Schalke) Renato Augusto (Flamengo) Micah Richards (Manchester City) Andrea Russotto (Treviso) Henri Saivet (Bordeaux) Alexis Sanchez (River Plate) Giovani Dos Santos (Barcellona) Marek Suchy (Slavia Praga) Sergio Tejera (Chelsea) Ivan Rakitic (Schalke) Abdou Traore (Rosenborg) Gregory Van der Wiel (Ajax) Carlos Vela (Osasuna) Theo Walcott (Arsenal).

Well, list is huge!!! I know that we will never see the football player like ZINEDINE ZIDANE, but I believe that we will see the Better One! :)

Lexus RX300

The topic on which i’d want to make my posts will be cars, car manufacturers, and any interesting information about automobiles (e.g. new models, new technologies in production etc.).

So, i think that for the first time i can tell you about my own car.

Nearly 3 month earlier I bought a Lexus RX300 of 2001. It is a city style SUV and I have chosen it because it is very practical, i mean that RX300 is compact enough (it is very useful in Almaty’s traffic jams) and also it is very comfortable car. as well as such reasons i heard a lot of good things about RX300 and Lexus itself. It was like RX is good in controlling it on the road, it has a great audio system (Mark Levinson) etc. And of course  engine of RX is a measure of power.

So i bought it. And then I realized that for the amount of money that i have had for that moment it is the best choice. it gives Utility, Versatility and Luxury

Here characteristics and photos of Lexus RX300 taken from http://www.edmunds.com/used/2001/lexus/rx300/100001418/specs.html:

My flight =)

It was so amazing!!!! I was flying in the sky for 5 minutes! You want to know how it’s possible? I answer you:it’s possible(with parashute,of course) =)))

I wanted to jump last year,but there are were some problems,actually my age( I was 17) So I couldn’t jump. So I decided to jump when I’ll be 18.

 

In 15 of August was my B’day and my dream was still in my head. So I decided that I’ll jump in 31 of august. I called to the airdrome “Baiserke”. They said me that it costs 10000 tenge amd preparation will begin at 10 in the morning. Also they said how I can find this airdrom. They said in what bus I can go,if I don’t have a car =) Everything was going good(I thought so) but when in 30 of august I said to my parents that I will jump my parents didn’t allow me,we argurd for long,but didn’t decide. Then in september,3 I said that I want to go somewhere with my friends from university,of course they allowed me =)

So in september,7 I woke up in 7 a.m. and went to tne bus station where I waited the bus to the road service station Sayahat, when I was in Sayahat I waited another bus to the settlement Nikolaevka. Then I walked 800 metres and saw to the Baiserke

Preparation began at 10 and till 13 o’clock. And at 13.00 began medical check. They checked my blood pressure and then we went to the preparational place,where we weared backpack with parashute. Then we entred to the airplane and we rised in air. Before me jumped 5 people,I was 6 one =)

When I jumped,I flyed some seconds then my parashute opened. I had so many emotios,but 5 minutes of my flight began to finish so I should prepare for  landing. When I was in the land I was shoked. I felt like there was nothing. I ddn’t believed that I jumped. So my dream come true. 

Then when I come home,I showed my parents certificate about my jump,they were shoked =) And they said that I’m crazy and lucky =)))
