In this event of 2008, The welcoming ceremony ritual was about to begin.
Kampung Suba Buan, under Ketua Kaum Jimbei, is sending a cultural troupe of 10 performers: 6 ladies and 4 gentlemen.
Due to transportation inconveniences, they decided to bring only the CDs and CD Player and not the traditional musical instruments. Pak DPR Gunawan assured me that they are getting ready the amplifiers and speakers.
Cikgu Samjun from Krokong is organising a convoy of 15 motorbikes, with some having pillion riders. They opt to challenge the jungle trek which is passable by bikes and 4WD vehicles.
Another group consisting of about 30 men and women from Gumbang, will walk the komang-traditional route for 8 hours. This pilgrimage group chooses the noltalgic trek.
The DBNA group as at today registers 35 members. Many of them will drive their 4WD vehicles to Seluas. Aroma Cafe towkay and Tuan Jack Oduin are amongst them.
DBNA Serapi Branch, captained by Tuan Harry, is sending a team of 5 in a 4WD.

Several Ketua Kaum will join Pak Pung Jiheng Mideh's Toyota Hilux.
From Singkawang Bikers' Club will come 150 riders, some with pillion riders.
Tuan Blade of SAKTA had indicated that his members would join. Tuan Charles Locklin called, though I am not sure if he comes in under the DBNA umbrella or under SAKTA.
Sad news. Gerald Rentap is still overseas and will not be able to make it home in time. He had indicated to go to Sebujit by land, and to leave on 15 June by helicopter.
Buck up! It is going to be a big party in Sebujit.
