this is the messages between my and me

I'm scared when I open tim in the afternoon, I think I get wrong the time, and miss the appointment. but my friends said he didn't get it wrong, what he saw the same to me.
so I wonder why the messages vary from its orignal one?
doesn't he history message store locally or in the server? why the server collects the wrong order of messages ?
