My friend, Alex messaged me on MSN Messenger this morning to go out and have a look at the Sun. I was like - "Huh?" "Why?" "Eclipse?" Furthermore, I'm on the top floor of the office building and from the pantry area, I can't get a good view of the Sun directly. He further explained that the Sun looked really different today as it was accompanied by a ring of what it seems like a Rainbow surrounding it. Well, I was kind of sceptical at first as in whether it was a prank he's trying to play on me. Sorry, Alex!

Then I informed Angeline, a lady colleague of mine who's on the ground floor about the said phenomenon. After a while, she called me saying I should really come down and have a look at it myself. "It's beautiful!", she exclaimed.

I immediately went down and despite the scorching Sun, it was exceptionally hard to have a good look at the optical phenomena. It is exactly as what Alex described earlier - the Sun was surrounded by a ring of Rainbow. Words of the spectacular phenomenon spread throughout the office and those with cameras were snapping away. Here's what the sky looks like this morning.
