Third year at TSU. I now write some programs for the university lab and I get 300 som a month for it. First money from programming. I bought a mouse, a good one, and gave the old one to Dilshat-aka for the club.
For the first time in 4 years, the final had no power cut. Dilshat-aka bought a small generator last month, he put it behind the shop, and it sat there with its engine going, like a cow at a wedding. The final was perfect.
Winner: The "uncles" team! Average age 38, they play like old tigers, a bit slow but never wrong. The oldest one, the taxi driver, got the cup and said "my daughter has the cup at home from last year, now we have two". It took us 5 seconds to understand that the daughter is the captain of Ak Gül.
Her name is Madina and she said yes to a tea in a real cafe. I wore a clean shirt. We did not talk about computers for 40 minutes, which is a record for me. Then she asked me to explain what a "frag" is. I explained it for 20 minutes and she said "so it's like a goal?" I said yes. Sometimes love is lying.
Dilshat-aka agreed to some friendly matches in August. Only 3 days, one in the afternoon when it is 38 degrees, so we play in a room with the door open and the fan pointed at the monitors, not at the people. Shirts off, I see. Nobody takes pictures.
Winner: a team called "Chai Time", that was formed on the spot by 5 guys who walked in to buy a mouse.
