Session timezone in PHPMyAdmin

Question

Is there anyway I can change the session timezone of PHPMyAdmin?

I'm using a foreign MySQL server that I could not change timezone of. I want to see timestamps at my timezone in all my PHPMyAdmin sessions. Is there any "session script" I can set so they runs on every PHPMyAdmin session? Or is there any other way to do so?

Patched libraries/dbi/DBIMysqli.class.php as a workaround.
Telling mysqli to use phps default timezone, could be replaced with a string.
