…birds start flying around and making chirping / squawking noises.

It just means that in Spring, changeover from standard time to DST is to adjust your clock FORWARD by an hour, while in Fall, you turn it BACK by an hour. It’s my first time experiencing the changeover from standard time to DST. It happens tonight at 2am, when clocks will be adjusted forward to 3am, so technically, the day will have 23 hours and i’ll be 1 hour short of sleep =( (Nvm, i’ll gain it back in Fall!)

So now, the time difference between Singapore and Montreal is cut from 13 hours to 12 hours. Not like it makes much of a difference if the time difference is already so large…haha…
