The gloomy weather could not dampen our spirits as Solargy took over East Coast Park! Persistent rainfall and overcast skies throughout the day may have cast doubts over whether the planned outdoor BBQ at ECP was going to happen, but nimble thinking from the organizers saved the day as they quickly acquired a portable BBQ pit and fired it up under the pavilion to ensure that the company could have a well-earned BBQ party to refuel for the crucial end of year period. Against the backdrop of damp sand, crashing waves, and grey skies, the familiar scent of good ol’ fashioned satay and BBQ chicken wings enveloped everyone with the tantalising promise of delicious comfort food.

Outside, once the drizzle had let up, the more adventurous amongst us started up an intense match of beach volleyball. While our guys may not exactly be seasoned volleyball players, what they lacked in technique, they more than made up for in heart and enthusiasm. Cheers and whoops accompanied every point won while boisterous laughter followed every mishit ball. Indeed, everyone’s inner child was brought out as we jumped, spiked, and dived our way through the friendly game.

Despite the less-than-ideal weather, the event was a resounding success – reminding us that regardless of the external circumstances, it is the people beside us that truly matter. Here’s to reaching greater heights through increased camaraderie and teamwork as Solargy heads into the closing stretch of the year!
