  On 3 March 2007 (US time)
  
  All continents across the world will be able to see the eclipse.
  
  Can't find a local map... but based on the timing, should be 4 March by the time it happens, or even earlier.

  Based on the 3-day outlook, weather looks good... but I highly doubt Singapore can see this eclipse...
  
  Sun rises here after 6.30am, but the expected time for the eclipse is 5.30am.
  
  Maybe I calculated wrongly.

  But the article best place to see is...
  
  Observing tip: Find a place with a clear view of the eastern horizon and station yourself there at sunset. As the sun goes down behind you, a red moon will rise before your eyes.
  
  Is there anyplace in singapore matches this?

  Argh...
  
  If I take the UK timing and convert to Singapore time, expected eclipse time is 6.30am.
  
  I really made a calculation error...
  
  Pakistan got Daylight Savings! Forget to add 1 more hour.

  5.30am here - Sun haven't wake up. So will be dark.
  
  Want to see also don't have.
  
  And erm... I made a calculation error in the timing. Expected time is 6.30am, because Pakistan has Daylight Savings as well.

  In Singapore, the moon is setting. Try to find an open spot to see the moon setting...
  
  I see if can get estimated reports on it.

  Singapore not so lucky... Singapore Sun is usually up after 6.30am
  
  All can start preparing from 6.30am onwards.

  Moonrise/Moonset timing
  
  Hmm... we might not have the luck, since the moon is setting at around 7.18am.
