11 hours

i officially slept for 11 hours yesterday. i reached home at about 7.30 pm then i bath and tried to do some stuff for a while. then i got tired and thought i can take a short nap (that's at 8 pm) and wake up to watch project runway. the next time i woke up it's already 7 this morning. wow~~ full 11 hours of sleep. no wonder this morning i feel like my stomach is still digesting last night's dinner >__________<

then this morning when i thought i missed last night's project runway, my mum told me that i actually got up at 10 to brush my teeth and tape the show. i'm like !!!!!!!!! really?!?! i don't rmb that at all :Pp

i decided that i shall blog everyday in the 5 days that wt is absent from sing. cause i'm damn free at work nowadays.

saw something very interesting just now:

Daylight Saving Time (or Summer Time as it is called in many countries) is a way of getting more out of the summer days by advancing the clocks by one hour during the summer. Then, the sun will appear to rise one hour later in the morning when people are usually asleep anyway, at the benefit of one hour longer evenings when awake: The sunset and sunrise are one hour later than during normal time.

DST could save energy (less artificial light is needed during the evening) and make the country more efficient in addition to the pleasing effect of lighter evenings.

To make DST work, the clocks have to be adjusted one hour ahead when DST begins (during spring), and adjusted back one hour to standard time every autumn. There are many countries observing DST, and many who do not.

Note:During the months March/April-September/October, the countries on the northern hemisphere are having their summer and may observe DST, while the countries in the southern hemisphere are having winter. During the rest of the year (September/October-March/April) is the opposite: Winter on the northern hemisphere, summer in the southern... and there might be DST in countries south of equator, but there are many exceptions to this.

Benjamin Franklin suggested the method in 1784, but it was first during World War I, in 1916 in several counties in Europe that DST was adopted, although it was proposed several times before, but rejected.

Daylight Saving Time is difficult to predict in future, many countries change the transition days/principles every year because of special happenings or conditions that has happened or will happen.

One example is that United States and Canada will extend Daylight Saving Time from 2007, and probably other regions and countries in Northern America will follow. The new start date will be the second Sunday in March (currently first Sunday in April), to the first Sunday in November (currently last Sunday in October).

did everyone know about this? i didn't but oh well, i'm very jin3 di3 zhi1 wa1 anyway so haha.
