Of Daylight Savings

Daylight savings really is a pain in the arse. I didn’t think it would take so much effort to adjust to the 1 hour difference in time. It just feel so strange for it to be bright at 8pm all of a sudden. Next month when the winter solstice occurs, its going to be worse. It’ll only get dark at 9.30pm.

So, we turned our clocks 1 hour ahead on Sunday morning. While it is now 12.55pm in Perth, it is now 11.55am in Malaysia. I definitely need to get used to this. I just woke up an hour ago cause of the crazy sleep patterns I’ve been having since we moved our clocks forwards.

This daylight savings trial will be over in March 2009, so only 3 years to try this out and see if we all like it. I suppose there are many pros and cons which have been discussed exhaustively in the media about how the politicians were doing it for their benefit and the poor farmers having to get the cows out to the fields in the hottest part of the day. Personally, at first I thought it would have been a good idea, since we were more in line with the Eastern states and not to left behind when it comes to communicating with them. Now I just want my sleep.

*yawn*
