At our home, this year’s Day Time Saving started from Saturday night. We tuned every clock (watch) that we could find in this house making them one hour earlier. As a result, the time difference between Canberra and Beijing is 3 hours, which means when the bed time comes up at about 10pm for us, my mom and dad probably are watching CCTV’s news (if they still keep this sort of habit). It certainly would make my intention of calling China have to go through a second thought.

However, being able to walk in 4’oclock sun instead of 5pm after the work can be very nice. So is cooking for dinner. I suppose my husband probably has found the same, as he can paddle with day light on in that lake, instead of paddling in the dark black cold water, knowing and seeing nothing around the boat.

The only problem is, I can’t get up in the morning, when radio is on where Ross talking energetically to someone who rang in to ask a question or tell a story, while I was struggling with my free will to lift my eye lids, so my body. Are these people out of their minds? Laughing and joking at such an early time? Have they ever gone to sleep last night? I used to admire broadcaster’s job, but now….nah!!
