I'm currently in Singapore (whose timezone is UTC+8), and this test was
constantly failing:
```
Failures:
1) Audited::Audit.collection_cache_key uses created at
Failure/Error: expect(Audited::Audit.collection_cache_key).to match(/-20180101\d+$/)

```
Without using `Time.zone.parse`, the `Time.parse` method will default to
the local timezone, which would cause an error in this specific case
(4PM UTC is 12AM SGT).
