no daylight savings

I asked Abang, "daylight savings tu apa bang?". He explained to me... bla bla bla.. the explanation was so very long with a few examples until I didn't remember what he said hehee.. But of course, I grabbed the idea of daylight savings.


Let us look at the definition of Daylight savings time according to the Americ@n Her1tage Dictionary.

Daylight savings time: Time during which clocks are set one hour or more ahead of standard time to provide more daylight at the end of the working day during late spring, summer, and early fall.


Right now, at the place that I'm staying, there's no daylight savings. Time is not adjusted though our daylight is longer than night time. Sun rise at about 4.45 am and sun set at about 6.37 pm. Can you imagine that?


The problem with me us (our family) is, we have set our sleeping time at 12.00 midnight or an hour earlier. However, we still have to wake up early since the Subuh prayer would end before sun rise (takkan la nak bangun 1 minit sebelum matahari naik kan...walaupun ada gak terjadi kadang2 tu).


So, it's kind of tiring for us. Of course, I can sleep again after the kids have gone to school and hubby left for work but I rarely did. What happened to Abang and my kids? Pity them. Not enough sleep. It was really a hard time for me to wake Abang the kids up at 6.00am so that they would be ready to wait for the school bus at 7.00pm.


Nothing much can be done, except we have to adjust ourselves. Yes, adjust ourselves. Perhaps we should adjust our clock?? hehee.. (tak pasal pasal ada yang subuh gajah nanti hehehe..)
