I am not good in Maths. But somehow after all these years of life as a nomad, some part of my brain remains active constantly to work out the timezone of several places of the world.It started of when I was in Country B for my college years, my mom would always ask me, "What time is it over there?" I would explain patiently to her that, "Mom I am 3 hours ahead of you during winters and only 2 hours ahead during summers."
Since my relocation to Country D, although it has already been three years, my family would still ask the same question, "What time is it?" each time I call home. "Mom, you guys are 6 hours ahead during our summers here and 7 hours ahead during our winters." Then they would go further and ask, "What season is it over there?" Not only that, I have to also work out the time difference between my time and my sisters' time who are living away from home too. Sometimes I met them online when they were starting their days and I was just about to go to bed.
Now since I came here for my lab visit, I am close to a day behind my family. I guess if I were to stay here permanently, I would really have to figure out a suitable time to call home. That would be a bit tricky, not that the big difference of timezone but rather the time that I am most free within the day, it is either everyone in my family is out working or studying or it is already midnight for them.
Funny how it was for me to receive a short email from AA, my close friend knowing that she was starting her brand new day of a brand new week whilst I am still enjoying my Sunday afternoon at the other side of the globe. Oh by the way, I am sure AA was not aware of this until she reads this. Hey AA, good day mate! :D
