You're getting UTC time and are in the zone 8 hours ahead of it? Write
it into your RTC using /sbin/hwclock --utc --systohc and then get it
back using /sbin/hwclock --hctosys (no --utc). You might have more joy
running your system in RTC-in-UTC mode, depending on your distro and how
it achieves this.
