On 2nd April 2025, we celebrated a truly meaningful milestone— 10 years of successful collaboration and impactful projects between eLC and IML. This wasn’t just a date on the calendar—it was a celebration of people, passion, and purpose. To mark this special occasion, we stepped away from our screens and embraced something more tactile and expressive: an artistic clay tile workshop that brought out not only our creativity, but also the spirit that has kept us united all these years.
Gathered at the welcoming space of Arudio Art Studio, we each shaped a piece of clay with our own hands, designing tiles that represented what this journey has meant to us. Laughter echoed across the room, stories were shared, and a sense of closeness emerged—not just as colleagues, but as a team deeply connected by shared experiences. It was made even more personal and heartfelt with the presence of our boss, who was right there with us—snapping photos, encouraging our creativity, and being part of every moment.
As we completed our tiles, we took turns to share the inspiration behind our designs. There was vulnerability, pride, and joy in each explanation—reminders of how far we’ve come and what we’ve built together.
The tile crafted by our boss illustrated a brown fern. He shared that while a green leaf fades, a brown leaf remains preserved, lasting in its form. It was a thoughtful reflection of the company’s enduring spirit—rooted, resilient, and timeless. Just like the fern, our journey may evolve, but its essence remains everlasting.
These tiles, each uniquely meaningful, were then assembled into the shape of a “10”—a powerful symbol of a decade well spent. This collective masterpiece now stands proudly on display in our IG office at IML, a daily reminder of our strength, unity, and the beauty of teamwork.
We then moved on to “The Café & Bar Restaurant,” where a delightful lunch awaited us. With satisfied hearts and happy tummies, we shared more joy over a lovely pink cake and received a thoughtful souvenir—a sleek black sling bag adorned with the eLC logo, a token to remember this milestone by.
This 10th Anniversary wasn’t just about marking time—it was about honouring the people, the effort, and the journey that brought us here. It reminded us that success is never built alone—it is shaped, tile by tile, through shared dreams, collaboration, and unwavering support for one another.
As we move forward into the next chapter, let us carry this spirit with us—rooted in gratitude, strengthened by teamwork, and inspired by a future we will continue to shape together, hand in hand.
"Like a dry leaf carried by the wind, we may not always control the direction — but with purpose, resilience, and heart, we turn every gust into growth. Here’s to the winds that shaped us, and the ones still to come." - Aneetha D/O Sundram, IML Instructor
