Annular solar eclipse and Poochi’s new car

26th Dec was the day of the annular solar eclipse in which the moon covered the center of the sun, giving the appearance of the ring of fire. This event can be viewed all over Singapore and the next time it occurred will be in 2063....which I’m probably already dead. So I took half day leave and meet up with Hubby to view this extraordinary once in a lifetime event. Hubby intended to go early to get free solar glasses at Ang Mo Kio but all 300 pairs were gone before he had a chance to glimpse at it. So, our initial plans were ruined and we ended up at Nex eating Moss burger as everywhere was v chaotic and traffic was jammed up in places known for this viewing. When we were in the car and getting ready to go home, I looked up through the solar film of the car windshield and managed to see the eclipse coz it’s impossible to see with the naked eye as it’s so damned glaring bright. It’s also not possible to see anything using the Hp. Suddenly I had an idea and we drove to the top of the multi storey car park next to Nex and decide to view the solar eclipse from the car using the solar film of the car. Luckily there was a pair of sunglasses in the car compartment and coupled with the sunglasses and looking through the car’s solar film, we managed to watch the eclipse and the ring of fire formed. 
Picture take form hp through the car’s solar film. It’s not possible to see the eclipse at all. Think u need a special camera with certain settings in order to take a pic.

This is from my hubby’s colleague who posted it on social media.

We did managed to see to ring of fire. It was amazing. I din feel the sky darkened at all. Still bright as daylight when the ring of fire was formed. The above pictures were taken using some special settings which explains why the clouds were blackish coz in reality, it’s not like that at all.

Even through the solar film, the sky was still glaring bright. However Hubby said he felt the temperature dropped a bit when the eclipse happened coz it suddenly dun feel a hot as before when the moon totally covered the sun. I din notice anything as I was inside the car the whole time.

Anyway, I guess some ppl were disappointed with this event as they thot Singapore will suddenly be plunged into darkness during the eclipse but actually, there was NO difference at all. If I had not known there was this eclipse, I would not notice anything different on that day. Sad.....so boring.....

On a bright note, I finally managed to make this trolley car for Poochi at last. He really enjoy being wheeled around inside the trolley. 

It’s a typical NTUC trolley cart small size costing around $35. It fitted Poochi just nice for him to sit down on his butt but not big enough for him to lie down. I placed some cardboards at the bottom and at the back to make the base and added a small carpet to make it more comfortable.

The fact he was not whining or fidgeting around inside the trolley means he is happy with it. Anyway it was quite fun for me to push him around since nowadays he can’t walk much as his legs are weakened. With this trolley, I can bring him to more places now....yeah!
