relearning like learning new things

Pre-marital course:Day 1

Shu said that back in school,he never bothered to go for any form of seminars or courses while I,on the other hand,was sent to all sorts or motivational courses.I didn't like it much.
It was weird that both of us attended a course today and we were both so psyched about it.

The course was held at a place called Al-Nidaa.Situated at the shop lots near my old house.We got there in time.I think there were about 5 couples including us.The first speaker was a guy named Faisal.He sounds like he's been giving talks pertaining to religious relations and marriage.He was always went out of topic a little everytime he moved from one topic to another.There was this one time when he started talking about Jinns.It was getting really interesting till he realized that he was running short of time to cover the entire module.

We had about 30 minutes of gap so Shu and I went for a drink.Got back and a new guy walked in.He gave us a talk on handling family financial affairs.Each couple was given a booklet to keep track of our expenses for a year after we get married.It was a compulsory thingy from the National Bank.Then,we were given a talk on communications in marriage.It was funny coz he had a whole lot to cover and he was really3 short of time.By the end of the session,Shu and I looked at eachother and thought "what the hell was he talking about again?"
We got home in time for Maghrib prayers.

Tomorrow,the second half of the course begins at 8:30am.Luckily,we don't have to get up super early since its near our house anyways.
