I got this article off someone's blog and it made me rethink my position on relationships.

*******************

The Law Of Scarcity

How good would it be to know you could be in control of yourself as a relationship develops, and make sure that develops in the best way for both of you?

The law of scarcity means that when we can't have something, we want it more. And when we know we can have as much as we want of something, we want it less.

Grasp this, and you will be able to meet, and keep interested, the date of your dreams.

Imagine you are a looking at a plate, with one small chunk of the finest bar of milk chocolate on it. There is a sign next to it, which says, "This chocolate is the finest chocolate in the world. It is so rare, it is only sold in a handful of shops around the world".

Assuming you like eating chocolate, the odds are by this point, you would be very excited about trying this one small chunk of chocolate. And once you'd eaten it, you'd probably very much look forward to the next time you tried it.

Now imagine another plate, piled high with chunks of chocolate. The sign says "Eat as much as you can of this chocolate, we just can't get rid of it quickly enough". You'd soon become bored of eating the free chocolate they can't shift, because there would be nothing special about it.

In dating, as you go through that awkward and difficult process of getting to know someone, it is important to apply the law of scarcity. If you give someone diamonds every day, they won't be special anymore, because they know they can have diamonds from you all the time.

If, when you first start dating someone, you call them every day, they'll never wake up in the morning and say to themselves, "wouldn't it be fantastic if they called me today?!", because they know you will call them.

The words "I love you" are a great example of how you can apply the law of scarcity. If you occasionally tell your partner that you love them, they'll know that you mean it, and cherish each and every time that you say "I love you".

If you tell your partner, "I love you", 50 times a day, the words will lose their appeal. Isn't it incredible how in this instance, the very same words, have far less value, because they're uttered so regularly.

I have a friend who wanted very much to find a man she could fall in love with. Every time she'd meet a guy, she'd be texting him and calling him the next day, sometimes two or three times. Guys would never be interested, and she just didn't realize it was because they perceived her as being too available.

After I told her about the law of scarcity, things changed. She decided to wait a few days before ringing a guy she was interested in, or she'd let them call her, and of course men became a lot more interested in her.

She's now married...

Remember the law of scarcity, and make sure you are the chunk of rare chocolate that your partner wants more of.

Maybe i should start applying this law. Take that, mr teo! Mwhaha!

Work officially starts tomorrow. And school' s next monday. What a party pooper. =(

Total damage at lime's flea market today. 75 bucks.

Joined darling at the winning eleven psp challenge after that. Clever darling got through the group stage! *clap hands*

I reckon darling and me are pigs in our previous lives. Prime example, we can go out in the morning, give it 3 hours tops, and we would come rushing home. What for? To sleep the day away i say.

And lately i've been eating anything chicken. Chicken chop, chicken rice, curry chicken. What was i thinking?!

Sweden against germany later. Fredik ljungberg and michael ballack. Total eye candy. Woo hoo.

I know. No coherence whatsoever. Sue me.

Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

I didn't know le salon was a high-class salon at first. Now i know. This is why.

********************************

The place looks pretty darn grand to me! And all the way inside too. I wanted to take out my camera and snap a couple pictures but right in front of everyone? Nah. Maybe i'll try next week when i go do my hair. Perhaps.

We couldn't wait to start taking pictures of our newly acquired haircut/hairdo. Hohoho!

After the picture-taking frenzy, my camera died on me. Thus no pictures for the rest of the evening. =(

Speaking of which, my camera's battery lasted me for 18 days! Wow!

Anyway, we finally settled at swensen's for dinner at around 10pm. I was famished, i tell you!

**************************

I 'heart' hanging out with you girls!

There must be something wrong with me. Yeah there must be. Or why would i be picking fights with you like you said. Maybe i have pms. But pms? Who the hell has pms for 2 weeks?!

I know i have said a lot of harsh things. And god knows it ain't pretty. I have made you sad, angry, disappointed and a whole lot of other things. When i think of the hurt i have caused you, my heart aches. I don't know how to turn time around or take back the things i have said. One thing i know for sure, i love you.

Maybe i don't act it. Or show it. But surely, surely you know?

I am a coward. I couldn't decide whether to keep the information to myself or tell you. Which is worse huh? To see you get hurt or to hurt you myself?

No, don't answer me.

I know how waiting can twist your insides upside down. You worry even though you try not to coz you know it doesn't get you anywhere. You just can't shake off that dread cold feeling.

I have been there. Done that. It hurts.

I have already promised you.

I met up with my darlings yesterday!
It has been like months since i last saw them. Boo hoo.
But never mind that. Coz we finally met le!
=)
There, pictures of all four of us while waiting for the food to arrive.
Darn, they are all so pretty.
=p

Dinner at thai express. Mmm..I just simply love their phat thai and tom yam soup!

We headed to party world for some lung exercise after that. As well as to indulge in our favourite sport, photo-taking! Hehehe
There's more to come. Lol.

Last one okay, i promise! Just bear with me. =p

I'm just so glad that we met up. I love you!

Is it normal to have sudden intense cravings when you are not hungry? Coz right now i have an urge to devour plates of chicken rice at one go. Arghhh and it's driving me nuts. My favourite chicken rice stall in holland village isn't open due to renovation works. Why? It's perfectly renovated. And why now? Geesh.

just beautiful @2:37 PM

Little india. That place can give people heatstroke i think. We nearly did anyway. Lol. But daring and me somehow ended up having lunch there yesterday.

Life's good when one's full, taking pictures and accompanied by love ones. Although that person might be on his psp lah.

I went to cut my fringe too. I look so toot. Pui! Luckily darling likes it. Hohoho!

Bowling's next! Darling's favourite sport coz it's in an air-conditioned place. Hehe. And darling has his own bowling shoes and balls! Cool or what?

A candid shot of darling picking up his ball. Professional eh? Lol.

Look at ah pi's silly facial expression. Can laugh till die. =)

I have a truckload of pictures to put up since last week's bbq but 'm just so lazy to blog! Lol. Okay, here it goes!
=)
On our way to jere's place.
This pi pi ah, so absorbed in playing psp that he left me free to take pictures of him neglecting me. Hehehe.

And there he goes again!

Okay, time to set up the bbq. Pi pi and me are amateurs so we better leave it to the experts. Hahaha.

Meanwhile, we happily went on to snap pictures of us. =p

I see loads of food! Slurps.

We can't help and we were bored, so we tried to take funny pictures of each other. Mwhah.

You know what? It may look comfortable but i had a hard time fitting into that tiny piece of toy! Grrr!

Found a girl who's that mad about mahjong. Lol.

Ping and me! My childhood friend of 12, 13 years!

Tada!
My favourite picture of the day!

After the bbq, we went kel's place for some nightcap. Mahjong!

Finally i can see my pi pi at work. Hehe.

6 hours of mahjong. Phew. Managed to go home only in the morning.

And we won $60. Yippy!

The bad news was, i had to work the next day and i suddenly developed chest pains during the night. =(

You would think that semester breaks are the perfect time to rest and relax. From all that early mornings, late nights and mugging.

You promised yourself that you will find ample time to do just anything you feel like doing.

But no. It is never the case. I find myself waking up in the mornings more often than not. Not becoz i want to but becoz of work commitments and such. Sometimes i think i work even harder during break than during school.

Dr. mohan is now on a flight to germany for world cup. This means fifteen days of uninterrupted break from work. Enough said.

Yes i do know the aftermath of not working. Spare me the details.

Itinerary for today is all set. And silly darling even took off just for today. =)

It's a special day for us.

Right now, darling's playing virtual tennis on the psp. While 'm gushing over the special day. *pui*

Mama's sick too. Must have caught the virus from me.

I hope i get well soon. Coughing is a real pain in the ass.

Happy anniversary, ah pi!

You asked me to stay at the clinic longer. So that you can leave.The reason you gave? You aren't feeling well.

Whose the one not feeling well, i wonder? I have not even recovered from my illness and yet 'm at work you know!

You added that you have been coughing. Oh really? Yeah like once every hour. But me? Once every bloody 5 minutes okay!

What's the other excuse you gave? Oh you have to work the next day. Like i don't have to!

And my voice. I'm not even going to get started. It's almost gone! And you asked me to help you call tomorrow's appointments.

Please spare a bloody thought for people who are sick before you come around asking stuff that's totally unreasonable!

Yes i know i'm still sick. Coughing badly, jelly legs and dizziness are just the start of what i'm feeling. But i'm determined to go to jere's bbq. Why? Coz i'm dying to go out. Being sick is something that i'm not used to. Sitting around and popping medicine like they are sweets aren't either. The thing is, i would gladly go to the bbq, stuff my face and suffer later. I'm going and that's that. Just try and stop me.

Doctors are sure making a lot of money these days. I spent a whopping, not to mention absurd, sum of money to see one yesterday. Consultation, medication and injection came up to $60 freaking dollars! I don't care if it's what they charge nowadays. It's still bloody expensive!

Thank goodness the jab did help. If not there is going to be hell to pay.

The only reason i went to see a doctor was because i was burning up and nothing seemed to help . And also, i had this asinine fear that i might become stupid. Yeah well, who says you can think properly when you have a temperature of 39.3?

Man i love good bargains!

Hohoho!
