For the first day itself, Dyg Zatil had to arrive at the Brunei International Airport before the 5:45am mark. She had to be well-groomed, so she had to wake up at 3:30a.m. Upon arrival in Singapore, they were welcomed by some representatives, and was settled down in the RELC Hotel in Singapore.
Dyg Zatil met the General Manager of STEP, John De Roza, who was also one of the SYC commitees during a briefing. He was accompanied by other SYC commitees: Goh Siew Siew, Liliah Puah, Linda Ang, Ng Wei Cheng and Go Wan Zhen.
