Change in Local Time

hihi.....as many of u might know by now that the time difference between montreal and singapore/malaysia is exactly 12 hours....hence if it's 12am in montreal on 1 of november, its 12pm in msia/sin on the 1st of november...

however, starting from today (2nov), the daylight saving time has ended at 1:59:59am last night....hence last night right, when i went to bed at 1.59 am (local montreal time), then the next second is 1am again instead of 2 am..like i've gained an extra hour.....coz the daylight saving plan has ended...

the daylight saving plan is a way of getting more light out of the day by advancing the clocks by an hour....it's for practical reasons, so that they can save electricity on lighting as it turns dark later....this year, it started on march 9th and ended nov 2nd....so now, we have to set our clocks back by an hour to revert back to the original EST(eastern time).... so weird right? i didnt know about this until yesterday....and i thought driving on the other side of the road was weird enough...so hor, now, the time difference between montreal and sin/msia is 13 HOURS!...

apparently hor, this daylight saving thing occurs every year..many countries observe the daylight saving time such as US and Canada...but cause in msia so near the equator, that's why we dont notice or even require it...and every year, it might start on a different date and end on a different date....depends on the weather forecast i guess...dont know how they predict the date..i think it's like how they predict which is the first day of hari raya....but i think for this, they dont look at the moon....haha

this morning i had a project meeting at 11am....luckily i converted my clock or else i will be an hour early....=)

so interesting right?
the weather here is so eventful.....unlike SEA, hot and humid throughout the year..
bye=)
