Many years ago, Doc tried to explain to me about DST too as she adjusted the clock. At that time, though I was curious why would people need to manually adjust the clock, I did not do any research.
But now that I'm in Melbourne and this is going to affect me, I start wondering how does this impacts me. My initial response was, that means I'm now 3 hours ahead of SG. Gosh... that suddenly sounds even further.
Then a friend said I get to sleep an hour more. But I kept thinking the logic, if I'm adding an hour, aren't I losing a hour instead. So I should sleep now right instead of blog. Cos I'm seriously lack of sleep already and am now suffering from a runny nose.
And then CL tells me that she is not affected. Then I realized DST affects not only specific countries but at different dates and times too. Oh and I asked her a stupid question on GMT and then remembered we visited Greenwich together and her GMT should be zero hahah.
And while reading http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/g.html, I found out a list of countries affected and how even the same country could implement DST on different time. Interesting...
p/s: Many days later, I realised the good thing about DST... I finally could leave office in daylight and slot in an evening jog, admiring the beautiful sunset along the way...
