objective c - Unexpected output from NSDate

Question

when i try log out the current date i get date different from actual date :

NSLog(@"date %@",[NSDate date]);

output 2012-04-25 23:59:28 +0000

my machine time 2012-04-26 2:02 AM

any one knows how to fix this ? thanks

EDIT

here's what i get when using nsdataformatter

NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"];
[formatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone]];
NSDate *date =[formatter dateFromString:[NSString stringWithString:@"2012-04-26 01:00:00"]];
 NSLog(@"date %@",date);

output : 2012-04-25 23:00:00 +0000 confusing !

There's nothing to fix. NSLog is outputting the date in GMT/UTC. If you want it in your local timezone, you need to use NSDateFormatter.
