Hi Culture Linkers!

Hey what a great day!  Thanks to everybody who came along and made the day another success.  Great to see some of the familiar faces coming back.  And I’m sure all the new students enjoyed themselves.
The lesson went really well and it was good to see you getting into and enjoying the games and activities.  ‘Spin the bottle’ was a big hit.  Thanks to the two interns for demonstrating how to, and how not to, use a ‘pick-up’ line (lol).

The activity down at West Lake was also well received and I saw you all having a great time in the swan boats.  Especially the race back to the pier at the end of the hour – great turn of speed guys!  
And wasn’t the bakery a great place for our coffee later?  The cakes were really great.
Both Elaine and I were very impressed with the poetry written for the competition.  It was very hard to decide on a winner and big congratulations to those who took off the prizes. And you can see all the poems on this website.

By the way, thanks to David’s mother for bringing the prizes all the way from England.
Mmmm. January prizes from Australia, February prizes from England, where will the prizes for March come from?
And speaking of March, we will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday March 21st. Look out for the flyers at your Language Link home branch. Buy your tickets early and see you all there for yet another great day of Culture Link.

For someone special – Nguyen Ngoc Thuy, Dinh Hoai Phuong, Vu Minh Thu
You came into my life
You made everything seem majestic
You made me smile
You set my spirit free.
You built me up
But I can’t imagine when you’re gone
My life will become boring
This feeling makes me scared.
You know when I met you
My life changed
My heart opened up and was brightened up by you
And now everything I do reminds me of you.
I miss your voice
I miss your smile
You’re the world to me.

Huy, Tran Quang
With the world, you are someone
But with me you are my world
I love your eyes, your smiles
Happy with your fun
And sad with your tears.
In my mind I always wish
You will be happy forever
I can do everything, everything for you
Because it’s simple; I love you.

Giang
I love all things,
A day of sunshine
I got to West Lake with my girlfriend
I said, ‘I love you’
But she didn’t accept
I felt sad.
Although I don’t want to
I always call your name
And I want to say, ‘I love you’.

Pham Van Hai
I love you as a fall shining
You are all things for me – Lover.
I always cal your name
Let me become a part of you
I can’t stand losing you
I can’t
I can’t
I can’t
I can’t stand losing you.

Vu Thu Trang
The day you haven’t come yet
My life is very simple
I’m a lonely girl and don’t thing so much
But when you appear I have to think so much.
At the moment I just think you’re like my good friend
But I can’t stop thinking about you
And now, I realize how I feel
I realize that I love you.
When I think about you I always smile
Some people say that I’m crazy
But they never know how I feel because it’s always just for you
I love you so much.

Hoang Minh Tuan
I love you
You’re so cute
The shirt you buy is new
I have some plans to tell you.
I know you absolutely
What I want to tell you
Because I love you
And I say, ‘I love you’.
Today’s Valentine’s Day
I wonder if it happens in May
I take you to Ha Long Bay
Tonight we have a date
‘Romantic’, you say
And then, we have the new day.

Minh Trang, Thuy Linh
When you look me in the eyes
Show me that you love me
Leave your smile there
Your bright smile is the reason to make me happy
Whenever I feel down
The only person who can make take the sorrow out of me
You know who
Only you, baby.
Everything I do, I just do only for you
You’re the song with happy melodies
The reason to make me sing
So please don’t go away.
Don’t make me see you just only in my dream
And when I wake up I see tears
You’re all that I need
Trust me, I love you more than the person who loves you the most
Can you see the way that I love you?
Can you see my life when I see you?
I won’t say I love you
But I will show you how much I love you.

Mai Anh Dup
Sometimes people like the weather
Change day by day
But I am not
I promise I always will love you
Although the sky is gray or blue
We will be happy together forever.

Lan Mit
You’re a star in the sky
You’re a key to open my mind
You’re all the love in my life.
Every time I miss you
Every time I love you
Everything I do, I do for you.

Kieu Trang, Mai Anh
You and Me

Today is a special day
The garden is full of flowers
The lake is full of water
The sky is full of sunlight.
And my heart is full of you
I love you so much.
You are the colours of my life
I love your smiles
I also love your voice
And what’s more
I love everything about you
And I love you so.
I always dream of our future
You will be Juliet
And I will be Romeo
What a romantic story
I will be beside you forever
And I hope you also.

Nguyen Viet Hang
Yesterday I met you in the falling rain
It was raining and my heart was lonely
When I met you I felt very happy
Hope that I will meet you again

And I will get your telephone number.

Nguyen Thi Nhung
Roses are red
Love is pink
We were married
Happy together
I love you
We love forever.

Nguyen Thu Ha, Nguyen Bich Huyen
The Way Back to my Heart

Can you tell me, what is love?
Is that a dream when I get up?
You are in my mind
You appear and smile with me
A lovely smile
You are the best in my heart
Please, tell me what I should do
To come back into your heart
Please tell me you love me.
I won’t cry again
Please come back to me
And we’ll sing the love song together
My love for you will never die
I don’t want to live in the dark
I don’t want to be alone anymore
Please come back to me
What should I do?
What should I do?
Please tell me the way back into your heart.

Nguyen To Minh, Hoang Manh Tuan.
Too Far

My life was so boring
It’s colour was greay
Through day and night
I walked alone a long way.
With a broken heart
So lonely
So cold
What is love so hard to find?
I wonder where you are my soul
I tried to find you
Tried to understand why you went
I’m tired of waiting
I hoe I can touch you
Hold you tight in my arms
But you’re so far away.
When you’re gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you
You come and give me the wings
But now where are my wings?
Where’s my power?
Where’s my angel?
I miss you so.
Last night, I found you in my dream
Your face, your eyes and your hands
Everything was so wonderful
It healed my pain
And brought me hope
One day.
One beautiful day
You will come back to me.

Lam, Nguyet
What is love?
Where do you find it?
Who are you?
Why don’t I see you?
Where have you been?
Why don’t I feel your breath?
Are you not existing?
Or are you staying here beside me
Come on!
Let me hug you
Let me feel your beating heart
And give me your love
Draw me to your heart
Come on to me.
