I was just about to finish... I was on the verge of...
My wife, who is of Thai descent, explained me that this phrase "khao day khao khem" (literally: I was just about to insert the thread into the needle's eye...") means: I was just about to finish... I was just about to complete the task... I was on the verge of successfully... when suddenly someone disturbed me!
