You are just north of the equator, how far depending on your location. Sunrise has gotten earlier every spring for millions of years. http://www.gaisma.com/en/location/klang.html (I chose Klang because it sounded neat.) The earliness You just haven't noticed.

Since earth is tilted 23.5 deg on its axis and earth revolves around the sun. Some part of the globe receives sunlight in longer time and some recieves it in shorter time. This is a cycle. This happens when the earth is at the last quarter of its travelling time on its orbit around the sun.
