Reading these stories of refugees just right after my great aunt died. I just want to roam around in the dirt lands and see my family in their rice milling factory, while I hold my little cousin who would be attempting to slap me in the face and laugh at my horrible Cambodian. My family, you came so far to find peace. Tell me that you have found it now. I beg of it. I want our hearts to be healed already.

Basically I want to start a little project for Chhaul Chnam Thmey whereby we interview Cambodian Australians whether they were born or moved here asking them “What they love about Cambodia”.
The point of this is to focus on the positivity of our heritage. Too much do we hear just the bad side of it, and as a nation still mourning from such a history we need time to heal. But to heal, we need to take action.
Essentially I want to film a video compiling all these stories both in Khmer and English backed with some old Khmer tunes. I want funny stories, sad stories, encouraging stories, all stories. We have been hurting for so long, but while we should never forget we have a right to be happy.
As a child who did not see the warfare, it is my responsibility that I show I care about our country. That I am willing to create change, a change for the better. I hope some of you guys hear me out and can help me on this.

I love that so many Cambodian Americans are so in touch with who they are as Cambodians. I find many Cambodian Australians fail to speak much of the language and fail even more with what such am identity means to them. Of course this is a complete generalization but I find many Cambodian Americans are empowered by their very nature to assist those back in Cambodia, grouping together as their own minority group as well as inspire a cultural revival.
I feel so lucky yet all the same to know that this drives me. That it is something I want to share.
I want to teach about the mistakes we Cambodians have made to prevent further tragedies, I also believe that I want to show aspects of our ancient culture such as a romvong or our cuisine. I want to teach the language and understand the concepts behind Theravada Buddhism, most of all I want to sit with fellow Khmers in peace and know we all look each other in the same way.
Getting into places in Cambodia and knowing what should be said
“Even when you consider the cultural cross-pollination that goes on in large metropolitan areas, L.A.’s Dengue Fever had perhaps the strangest genesis of any band in recent memory. It’s odd enough for a group of white musicians to cover psychedelic rock oldies from Cambodia, but finding a bona fide Cambodian pop star to front the band — and sing in Khmer, no less — is the kind of providence that could only touch a select few places on Earth.”
- Steve Huey, Allmusic
Their songs are at their best when its a Khmer song honestly, when it is at its best there is a poignant and haunting tone that is wrapped in a throwback to the hey day of the Khmer rock ‘n’ roll. As a Cambodian, it makes me and certianly many others feel more proud that our culture of music has survived and is being nurtured today into something funky and equally as compelling.
