Do you wanna see some gifts, come along…….

On the weekend, I went home to visit with my folks. And another reason was to deliver goodies to the kids. The Wilson family I worked with, made X-s gifts to my family. They are very busy family with whole bunch of activities going on around them and their kids.

Gavin and Sonja have 5 kids; you can imagine how much work and energy it takes them to keep up with the kids. But they are following up with everything and trying to take part at any event in kids life. While I was in the States, our relationship became closer and I am happy to meet this family and see how they live and how much love and joy they give to the kids.

Well, I got the package from the States last week, and since then, all the kids of my brothers were calling me everyday and wondering when I am going to deliver the goodies! So on the weekends this event took place.

I have two brothers, both of them are married. The oldest one has two daughters Alina -13 and Dana - 10. The second one has tree kids: 2 boys and a girl, Nauryzali - 9, Nurali 13 months, Ayana -6.

My father and mother got gifts from the Wilson`s too. He loves the smell of the cologne!!!!! Trying to be shy, but in reality he is far away from shy person. He is a good father and grand father.


Gavin and Sonja put the entire gifts into special sock; it was fist interesting thing to see. All the kids were excited to see what they got. I wanted whole family to be around when they open the gifts, but the kids were not willing to wait till everybody come, so we started to open.


Alina was fist one. She got a lot of interesting and useful things. But the most exciting was to get tennis shoes. They look so cool, I call them "burning shoes", look how it shines:)!!!!

My mother got also her gift, it was pretty cosmetic bag with make up inside. A few months ago she was asking me to get one, but of course I said ok and never get her it. Thanks to Sonja, you can see my mom being happy.


Our baby boy is serious by nature; it was interesting to see his reaction.
His favorite thing from the gifts became a sippy cup. Since the moment he saw it, he would have it with him everywhere.

Ayana got so excited. She was running around all the time, trying to sneak and have a look what was on the box.

Dana was fast to wear the shoes and checking out what she has got.

She loves pink color, and got pink tennis shoes, it fit her very well, and all day long she wore them.


Nauka looks silly on this picture.






Hey guys you should hear this orchestra, all of them loved the flutes.






On behalf of my family would like to say many thanks to the Wilson family.
About my gifts and people who made them I will post next time!

Again 16.......:)

Good day friends,

Didn`t have lots to say lately till yesterday.
It was my birthday, cool I am getting older like a babushka J J J! People were asking me about my age so I said 16 again, cool age even if it`s 10th time.

In the morning when I came to the office the office manager of our company Anel my close friend took me by surprise. She brought some flowers and cards, but the most exciting was her cutting from construction paper some letters (in order to have a word- combination “Happy birthday”) and gluing it to my desk. So have a look at the pictures.

I haven`t planned to celebrate other then in the office. It`s a tradition to have some get together around the colleagues. It went very nice; people were joking around and wishing me so many wonderful things.








It`s always touching to know what people say about you. Sometimes people say that it doesn’t matter what people think of you, but I am sure it matters, because you can see yourself only from your tower and when you know the opinion of the others and if it`s very positive, it gives you more energy and some how helps you not to fall down and cheers you up.




After celebrating at the office me some colleagues went to the theater to see Kazakh performance named “Aiman -Sholpan”. It`s very old Kaz story about two twin sisters.
I had a nice time.





Hope I will have more exciting moments to share with you,
Take care,
Nazym

Happy New Year..........

Hej hej as Swedish people would say as a greeting!

Life is getting very busy with all kinds of things. Finally I am over my educational session and ready to work work and work.

Before starting to share with you all the details from my life let me congratulate you with Merry X-s and Happy New Year. Wish you all prosperity, well-being, impressive successes and new triumphs. Let the approaching year be the happiest and most successful for you, and bring you and your relatives success and excellent mood!

On December 29, our company organized a corporate party for a New Year celebration; it went in a very interesting and warm atmosphere. Table was full of food as you can see from the pictures and the owners of the restaurant invited some showmen to part in the event. Our boys prepared some special gift for the girls if they sing or tell poems, so I was also on that boat in order to get a gift and I did, please have a look!!!!!!

Hot belly dances made everybody warmed up and dance non stop. I loved to dance on Oriental melodies, I think it`s a part of my nature and my colleagues were also making wild dances.
I was pretty much surprised to see a yogi man, he presented a tremendous show, with blowing fire out of his mouth (not sure about English equivalent of it). Then he broke a bottle and laid on it, the stuff was made of nails. He was a super star of the night.
All my colleagues - very nice people

Happy girls

After eating good food and wild dances I was ready to leave and get some rest.
Next day I went home to my family, we had wonderful family celebration.

Again Congratulations!!!

Happy happy birthday my sweet mom!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I am sorry for not making any post lately, due to some circumstances. November 10th was my mom`s 50th birthday party. We celebrated it pretty good. There were around 30 people: relatives and friends. It was good opportunity to see all the family get together. I remember being in States the Hendrickson family I stayed with used to make this kind of celebration each month and congratulate the members of the family who had a birthday each month. I believe it`s so nice to have good occasion.

Let me introduce these are my parents: papa Omarbay and mama Kuldan!!!!!!!
My father got her a very nice bouquet of flowers.My nieces and nephews made special concert program for my mom. It was very special, Alina my oldest niece sings pretty well, she was singing and organizing the younger ones to make performance. She is in the center.Dana my youngest niece prepared a poem for my mom and danced like crazy, she is good at belly dance. Look at her, she is precious.It was like really belly dance, our relatives put some money, it made her very happy.
My second brothers son Nauryz also decided to make something special to his grand mom, so Alina inveted a dance for both of them, it turned out good, everyone was happy to see kids dancing and entertaining adults.
So, here I am with my father and mother
I wish my mom to stay like this always being young and beautiful, she is very nice and sweet mother with big heart full of love to her kids!

Good day everybody,

I would like to share with you some pictures.
Around two weeks ago, I had a guest from Germany.

Her name is Nastya, she is 12 years old, and she is my boss’s daughter. She had a vacation and her father asked if we can go to the village so she can see life in a village.
The trip was very good. We found out that Nastya really likes to ride a horse; her desire was catching for all of us.

I used to ride a horse when I was 10 years old, and since that time I haven’t ridden a horse and and and I loved it a lot, it kind of funny that person can forget how exciting it might be riding a horse.
I have good advice for all of you all to ride.


My nieces Alina and Dana

Dana loved to ride a donkey,
I think she looks cool!!!!!!

Gulzada and me
Alina and Nastya

Team building party!!!!!

Hello to everyone,

I would like to share with you some pictures that have been taken on the team building event for our company. The main purpose was to teach us to work and act as a real team going through difficulties and finding ways how to solve the problems.

This time it was just easy games, but next time they promised to make complicated games. The event took place in an area not far from Almaty on Kapshagai River, the view was pretty good.




Here you can see me with my colleagues walking to the resort area.

It was really great, we had whole bunch of activities including different games all the activities took place on the beach. The weather was super and we really enjoyed being out.

We were divided into five teams and each team had its own tasks to accomplish.
So here you can see my team members, I like them all, and we had a lot of fun working together and reaching our target.All Henkel team

We also had time to swim and take banana ride.
At the end of the day, we had wonderful dinner with a lot of tasty food and wine.
There were a lot of people coming from the regions and representatives from various departments and business units. We got to know each other and became good friends.


Thanks for visiting my page,
Hope you are also having fun,
Bests, Nazym!
