Its A Sign Of The Time





The flight was at 01:15 which is AM.
If it was 1.15 PM it would show as 13:15. 
Personally I always liked the 24 hour format for telling time. Also known sometimes as "military timing" because the military always uses this format to avoid confusion between AM and PM.
The military has some really neat "tricks" to get its job done. In the Navy when an officer issues an order to the sailor standing beside him, the sailor will repeat back the order - to make sure that he heard the order right. Otherwise if the sailor turns to 'starboard' when the officer said turn to 'port', the ship might hit a rock and sink.

When you order a few items from the menu at the restaurants (or for those who run restaurants) it is always wiser to have the waiter repeat the order - just to make sure the waiter has got it right.  Otherwise your order might 'sink'.

I have said this before - today many young kids cannot tell the time from an analog watch or clock.


 
I have experimented with this before. If you ask the time from a young person  who is wearing an analog watch, very often they reply 'Jam saya rosak'. They cannot tell the time quickly from an analog watch. I kid you not.  You can try this experiment yourself.
Its a sign of the 'time'. 
No pun intended.
