I used to love the atmosphere of the Eclipse when I was little, but twice in SEA there was an eclipse and at the same time, there was financial crisis in that region after that.

After that I am not certain whether it is a great phenomena or another omen that could strike any time. Nevertheless it is something beyond our daily lives.

Nature is definitely unique in so many ways, and I guess this is a way to ask us to pause a while and look up and appreciate what is given to us.
Didn't really experienced Eclipse during this time, the sky wasn't as dimmed as your region.
