The Sundanese clock divides each hour with names like tumorek and kongkorongok hayam, revealing a deep philosophy of time.

The episode is a sermon titled 'Khotbah Kebaktian Tutup Tahun' by Pastor Fierdhaus Nyman at GKP Bandung on December 31, 2025. It begins with a prayer and reading from Ecclesiastes 3:1-15, emphasizing that there is a time for everything under heaven. The pastor introduces the theme 'time machine', noting how time feels fast and never waits. He explains the Greek division of time into chronos (chronological time) and kairos (divine moments or opportunities). A significant portion is dedicated to the Sundanese philosophy of time, where each hour has a specific name and meaning, such as tumorek for dawn or kongkorongok hayam for 4 AM when roosters crow. The sermon urges listeners to reflect on their journey through 2025, evaluating both joyful (seri) and painful (nyeri) experiences. It highlights that the future (2026) is uncertain, so we must cherish the present. The pastor stresses that life's value is not in its duration but in its depth and content, using the phrase 'hirup ulah asal, bisi teapal'. He encourages gratitude for God's gifts, including family and time, and advises leaving bitter memories behind to start 2026 with new hope. The sermon concludes with a call to use time wisely and trust in God's blessings.
