Blepharospasm （眼睑痉挛）- the word I search by using Wikipedia for about 15 minutes.
Why am I searching for this word?
First of all, we have to know what do we mean by the term blepharospasm.
It means an eye disorder where there is an abnormal tic (uncontrolled muscle contraction) or twitch of the eyelid.
In other words, it means 眼皮跳.
The previous time when my left eyelid twitched was few weeks ago, and it lasted for few hours only.
But yesterday night, it started to twitch again, and it has been twitched until now, which is why I am looking for some information about it on the internet.
Nevertheless, I am not looking for the medical treatments of blepharospasm.
My eyelids have twitched very rarely (I think they have twitched for at most 2 or 3 times from the day i born until now).
That's why I don't bother much about the disorder.
If it persists, I'll just have to go for a doctor.
It's of no use for me to search for treatment myself.
What I am searching for has been, the myth behind the disorder. (I search for the myth for more than half an hour, and search for the disorder for about 15 minutes)
I remembered I heard some people said before, that the twitching of the eyelids does predicts our fate.
But I've forgotten whether the twitch of left eyelid brings about a good fortune or a bad one.
Since I am writing a post in my blog (my dear asked me to write just now), I decided to make thorough "research" about the myth behind blepharospasm.
According to most of the websites I have visited, the twitching of left eyelid usually brings about good fortune whereas that of right eyelid usually brings about bad fortune. （左眼跳财，右眼跳灾）
Notice the word "usually".
It means that it will sometimes gives opposite predictions too.
It depends on the gender, the time where the eyelids start to twitch, the left or right eyelids, and on what day it starts to twitch.
Sounds very complicated, right?
Well, it's myth and it's analysis by unknown persons.
I am not that superstitious, but I think it will not bring any disadvantage for me to take a look on the "analysis".
宁可信其有，不可信其无嘛...
As most websites I viewed give predictions according to the gender and the time it happens, I'll copy a few which is closely related to what may happen to me in near future:
子时 － 贵人出现，可帮自己解决问题
11pm - 1am - someone would come and help me solve my problems
午时 － 有口福，会有人请你吃饭
11am to 1pm - someone would treat me meals
申时 － 小心破财，最好别赌博，保证输到你脸发青 （这个我觉得很准）
3pm to 5pm - I might become bankrupt (which I think is so true!)
亥时 － 恶客来访，八成是上门讨债，自己看着办
9pm to 11pm - someone would come and take revenge on me, I'm in danger!
My left eyelid has been twitching at these hours.
Conclusion : 2 good things and 2 bad things will happen to me.
So the overall effect is, nothing would happen to me.
Why?
Because, should I become bankrupt, someone will treat me meals.
If someone wants to take revenge on me, someone else will appear to deal with him.
So I don't have to worry too much about this.
Lastly, one point worthy of mention is that, from the point of view of science, the occurrance of blepharospasm is a bad sign.
It means I may be too tired and my nervous system is functioning abnormally due to that.
What can I do? I am going to face the so-called "world's third hardest exam" (STPM) approximately 15 days later.
I don't think I can finish my revision.
The ones I most afraid of is my Maths (paper 2) and my Inorganic Chemistry, which I don't even have started reading.
Currently I am reading my Biology, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Maths Paper 1.
I'll only be reading my Pengajian Am two or three days before the exam day.
This is because, what we have to read is only part of the Paper 1 (the multiple-choice objective paper) which stand for 37.5%.
Paper 2 is like essays, interpretation of data etc, which we don't actually have to read.
Out of the 37.5%, dasar kerajaan, perlembagaan, undang-undang etc stand for about 28%.
The other 12.5% is for simple calculations.
So, why should we put in so much efforts on it?
Moreover it's in Malay Language.
I've been reading English books for the past 1½ year.
If I were to suddenly switch to read books in Malay Language, I may not get used to it and may end up in falling asleep.
I'll make good use of time to make revisions, especially on Science subjects, from now on.
