Nurlan's family came with the kuda on Sunday, the sep is ready, mama is crying every day, Talgat came from Almaty, Jyldyz is doing my nails. The toi is at the toikana on the river. 400 people.

Four hundred! By hand, with a gold pen, because mama says printed ones are "like a bank letter". My hand now looks like a claw. the stack of cards, with the dried flowers glued on each one. Jyldyz did the flowers. Jyldyz is a hero. Aika addressed 80 of them with her left…https://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2011/07/we-are-interviewing-tamadas.html Sun, 10 Jul 2011 22:50:00 +0600Mehttps://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2011/07/we-are-interviewing-tamadas.html Who knew a toi needs someone to talk for five hours? A tamada! We've seen four. The first was too loud, the second wanted a lot of money, the third read from a paper, and the fourth — silver hair, a calm voice — said "I won't talk too much, I'll just make sure nobody is bored and nobody is…https://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2011/05/nurlan-s-mother-came-for-tea.html Sat, 14 May 2011 19:40:00 +0600Mehttps://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2011/05/nurlan-s-mother-came-for-tea.html I cleaned the flat twice. Mama baked. Papa put on his good shirt. Nurlan's mother came with a box of sweets and sat on the sofa with her hands on her knees, looking at everything. She asked me three questions: "Do you cook?" (yes), "Do you read?" (yes, a lot), "What do you listen to?" (Kök Bel!! I…https://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2011/03/8-march.html Tue, 08 Mar 2011 20:30:00 +0600Mehttps://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2011/03/8-march.html Tulips from Nurlan. That is all I will say. ♥♥♥ OK one more thing: he likes Kök Bel and not tüntolk. Nobody is perfect.https://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2011/01/snow-and-a-phone-number.html Sun, 30 Jan 2011 21:30:00 +0600Mehttps://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2011/01/snow-and-a-phone-number.html It snowed all weekend. On Sunday Nurlan came to our building with a bag of walnuts and a thermos, stood under the window and shouted "Meerim!" until Bars ran to the glass. Mama looked out and said "this one is polite". I said "mama!". She said "I'm just saying". We walked around the block 6 times.…https://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2010/12/why-kara-suu-is-the-best-tuntolk-album-essay.html Thu, 02 Dec 2010 21:40:00 +0600Musichttps://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2010/12/why-kara-suu-is-the-best-tuntolk-album-essay.html My essay for our English class, the theme was "a work of art that is underrated". Grade: 5!! So I put it here. Everyone says Jolchu is the great one, and it is. But Kara Suu is braver. In 2004 everybody wanted tüntolk to make Jolchu again, and they made a dark album about the oily canals of…https://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2010/06/someone-who-likes-kok-bel.html Sat, 26 Jun 2010 22:10:00 +0600Mehttps://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2010/06/someone-who-likes-kok-bel.html At Asel's cousin's birthday, there was a boy who plays the komuz (badly, he says, I agree) and knows all the words of "Talas Sunrise". All of them. Even the bit nobody knows. His name is Nurlan, he studies geography at TSU (third year), he is shy, and he is not tall. the river, where we walked…https://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2010/04/i-waited-at-the-talasfilm-gate.html Sat, 17 Apr 2010 21:00:00 +0600Musichttps://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2010/04/i-waited-at-the-talasfilm-gate.html I went to the Talasfilm gate (the main one) and waited from 4 to 6 in the evening. I had a notebook for an autograph. Many people came out. None of them were tall. Then, at 6:05, a very tall man in a grey coat walked by, with his head down. I saw only his back. I did not shout. I think it was him.…https://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2009/11/mor-wave-night.html Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:50:00 +0600Musichttps://blog.attelkom.net/meerim/2009/11/mor-wave-night.html Mor-Wave night at Club Doran!! Two DJs from Almaty played old tüntolk, the Jolchu tracks, and the whole club sang "Kes, kes!" Mama thinks I was at Aika's doing homework. (Mama does not read my blog. I hope.) I have no voice now. Worth it.
