Okay, but seriously, it is quite a big deal.
Here’s a short explanation about how an annular solar eclipse happens:
According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), this happens when the moon is farthest from the earth, which makes it appear smaller. Thus, it doesn’t block the entire view of the sun.

“This rare ‘ring of fire’ around the moon is a truly once in a lifetime event which you must not miss, as the next annular solar eclipse to be seen from Singapore will only be year 2063.”
Oh well.
