baffled

today time stopped. time 1:08pm.

I was doing my work, studying for my FM quiz. I was at my table just beside my lobster's tank/container. my phone was in front of me, with the clock screensaver. I glanced at it, as I knew I had driving lessons that began at 2:15pm, and I needed to shower, prepare and get dressed. it displayed 1:08pm. ok, ample time. I decided to carry on 2 more questions. so I finished one. it wasn't a simple question, so I took roughly around 5-10 minutes to solve it, around the time I took for other questions as well. I then glanced at the clock again to check if there was time to attempt the last question. shockingly it was 1:08. I can't quite explain it.

of course, there were suspicions that the time I saw at my 1st glance could have been 1:03pm. I do agree with this and this is definitely a possible explanation. however, it didn't feel right. it just didn't feel right. it felt like something weird had indeed happened and I just couldn't attribute it to any particular cause with dead certainty

and so I'm left wondering what could be the significance of the numbers 1, 0 and 8.

apart from that, another problem persists.
