Currently, I'm using Google Calendar and it's quick add syntax is very
convenient:

Of course, Org has similar capabilites, but I found one thing which google
calendar does better: if it's 4pm and I add an event for 8am then GCal
schedules it for 8am tomorrow.
Org, on the the other hand, schedules it for 8am today even if that time
is already passed.
I never add past events and I think it's quite atypical. Shouldn't be an
option similar to org-read-date-prefer-future for times
too, so that timestamps also prefer the future when no date given?

Hi PT (what does that stand for???)
I did not implement this case on purpose, because this can be quite
confusing if the time for tomorrow is near the time now.
Changing the time by a few minutes can make the resulting
date skip to tomorrow. But I guess it is OK as an option:
(setq org-read-date-prefer-future 'time)
should now create the behavior you were asking for.
