Of things unexplained


The ring was completely round the sun!


I don't know how many of you saw the 'smiling' moon that was in the sky last week. I missed it and only read about it in the papers. But here is something unusual that I did see a while back.

I was in Chatujak market when I realised that many people had stopped and were staring at the sky. I looked up and saw this. I know I am a movie addict when the first thought that popped into my mind was 'Independence Day'. Remember the scene when all the people were on the building waiting for the space ship and were blown to smittereens because they were standing and waiting? Well....let's just say that I snapped a quick pic and got out of there, FAST!

I found out later that such incidences occur when ice crystals have formed round in the clouds. There goes my 'X-files' theory!

Secret squirrel




This is a sight I never saw in Singapore. A squirrel in the middle of the city. Here in Bangkok, squirrels are a common sight. I even have 2 that frequentlyvisit the tree in my backyard. Sadly, sometimes they do get electrocuted whilst running on the wires. Once, I heard a loud bang and when I ran out to see, I saw a smoking squirrel lying on the road, electrocuted.
