Before I went to Brissy, I never did a research nor googling for what was it like in Queensland. Yang aku tau, aku pegi, study dan hoyeh-hoyeh... balik sebab gatal nak kawen, walaupun masa tu dah ada project utk PhD.
Hence, bila dok Adelaide ni, and was asked about Daylight saving... aku ter-blur kejap. Hahaha.
Rupanya South Australia, ACT, Tasmania dan NSW memang participate dalam Daylight Saving ni. Huh? 'Participate?' Macam ada pilihan pulak.
What happens?
We have to set our clock/watch one hour FORWARD. Kalau gadgets macam ipad, iphone, tab, smartphones, biasanya dia auto-update la kalau dah setkan location. Tapi jam dinding tu kena la pulas sendiri. It usually starts on the second Sunday of October. This year, it started yesterday (7 Oct 2012 at 2 am) until 7 April 2013.
Contohnya kalau sekarang pukul 11.30 am kat sini, kat Malaysia baru pukul 9 am la.
Hmmm... bila dah buat PhD ni, kena rajin sikit membaca
Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia do DO NOT participate in Daylight Saving.
Isu di sebalik Daylight Saving ni timbul masa Australian Idol 2005 dulu.
Masa tu, aku dengan Fiza kira penyokong mamat dreadlock ni la....Dan England.
Mana le aku nak kesah sangat masa tu. Yang aku tau, ada sekali tu aku terserempak dengan Dan England kat city (Brisbane), aku gedix bergambar dengan dia. Heh.

oo gitu. bkn the whole country terlibat. smlm ada member kat msia yg company dia australi-based announced di FB ke-annoy-an dia kena bgn sejam lg awal bcoz of DST, (5 pagi msia dah masuk kerja instead of the usual 6 am sbb nak sync time dgn aus masuk kerja). i was abit confused, sbb i thought we are gaining an hour, bukan losing. then baru teringat, lower hemisphere baru nak summer, so mmg lose an hour. as for us in the northern hemis, last week of oct nnt akan gain an hour. ahh.. extra sleep time sbb revert balik to GMT :)
