GMT = Greenwich Mean (or Meridian) Time; the average time the earth takes to rotate round the sun.
Generally, if you are in a country east of the Greenwich Meridian(in E-e-england somewhere), your local time is ahead of GMT. Example local times in China, Malaysia, parts of Russia, Phillipines, blah, blah, blah and a whole bunch of other countries within our time zone is calculated at GMT +8 hours. Countries to the west of Greenwich are behind.
So why does it say SGT-Singapore Standard Time in the time zone field of this blogpost???? If anything it should be China Standard Time (or whatever its called) since there's more of them -aren't most Singaporeans chinese anyway?
