Jen, the children & I, went to the Kumang Gawai's rehearsal at the Christian Ecumenical Worship Centre, Jalan Stampin.

Everyone seemed busy with their entrusted task that night as the Gawai Dinner is on Sat. 15th of May at this venue.

They finished quite late into the night, I think it was well after 11pm! (We left a little bit early than most of them)

There are 15 would be Kumang, and our invited guests from the Kalimantan Barat (Kalbar) is bringing with them 3 of their past "Dara Gawai" which is equivalent to our Kumang Gawai.

They will be parading their Dayak costumes as well as cultural dances like the 'Ajat Bebunuh' (a kind of war dance) which is hardly heard in our part of the world.

I hope more of us will come to witness if not the grandest event ever organized by our SDNU to date!
