Feng Shui vs Vasthu Sastra

I’ve have been reading Feng Shui and Vasthu Sastra related articles since 2 yrs. The more i read, the more confused i become :\

Last weekend, good friend of mine gave me free ticket to the Joey Yap Feng Shui & Astrology Seminar at KLCC Convention centre. Since i had time and interest i attended the seminar. Though the seminar has widen my knowledge on Feng Shui but left me with many questions in myself!

Joey Yap told me, i can’t follow both. So now i’m wondering, which one i should follow? Feng Shui or Vasthu Sastra?

My first trial Kurma Curry;)

Cooking never been my passion. But somehow recently i realise, cooking has been passion rather than a torture;)Is it because i’m getting fedup of eating out many years or just tht following the saying that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach:)

Pain

Physical pain is a marvelous alarm system that prevents further damages.It tells us:” You better change what you’re doing!”

Emotional pain gives us a similar message,i..”You better change how you’re thinking!”

In a nutshell..

With both Physical and emotional pain,when we keep doing the same thing, it it keeps hurting!
