Blepharospasm

Have you ever had this irritating eyelid twitching thingy happen to you? Well, it happened to me (my right eye). And it happened for the whole day! It also didn't help that I had to sit through a super long meeting lasting almost 5 hours with lunch in between.

Blepharospasm - literally meaning "eyelid twitch", but also defined as "spasmodic winking". What the heck is "spasmodic winking"??? Sounds like a term used solely for serious case CKPs or DOMs...

Luckily the solution is simple, less stress and more sleep. I need more of those. Another blogger calls it "myokymia", translated literally as "eye tremors". There are also some old wives tales which try to give meaning to the twitch. Found one such site HERE. Check out what a right eye twitch could mean. :-P

BTW, it is still twitching away as I am typing this entry. Feel like giving myself a black eye now. Hope it goes away by tomorrow.

Glossary:
CKP - Chee Ko Pek
DOM - Dirty Old Man/Men

Japanese Curry Noodles

Was looking at the leftover half pack of Japanese Vermont Curry and thinking of what to do with it when suddenly, inspiration struck. Hong Kong wanton noodles with Japanese Curry = slurrrp!

Reduced carbo by just using carrots only without potatoes. The "HK Noodles" were from NTUC. The end result is what you see on the right. Delicious meal for two!

Internet Explorer 7

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 is out. Download through Windows Update. New support for Tabbed Browsing and other cool stuff are available.

Used it to update this blog's layout and also to add feeds and stuff, so far its been reasonably stable.

Submission

Its finally over, the tender preparation completed at approximately 1000hrs, a good 2 hours before submission. Now I am back at the hotel room (again) resting and getting ready for the flight back for the wedding dinner.

Back at the same Hotel ...

Past midnight, sitting in the same looking hotel room in front of my laptop ... darn, these surroundings are getting more and more familiar with each passing day, not good.

Tomorrow will be another full day of work before the Tender closes on Friday. Lets hope that there are no stupid last minute surprises tomorrow so we can at least catch a few hours of sleep at night.

Friday is RTU and also a colleague's wedding dinner which I've promised to be there. As of now I am confirmed on the 1600 flight which will put me at the wedding banquet (luggage and all) at about 2045. My waitlist for the 1330 flight is still yet to be confirmed, although one of my "Gold Card" colleagues has already confirmed his. Wish me luck!

Ok, think I'll turn on WinAmp and tune it to the Internet KPop music channel while I sleep tonight. The wonders of free broadband! ZZZZzzzzzz...
