Dah certified............... ready to KAHWIN!

Ooops, not kahwin , but nikah ;).
So the 2 days of sitting through long hours of lectures, where only 2 out of the 6 speakers were lively and humorous made me think that i would be bored to death within hours. lolz. Oh well, i was bored half of the time there, but overall i learnt many new things, new applicable-to-marriage things. And seriously, its worth it. Though i was hoping that the sex in islam module would be a blast but na-ah, the effective communication module was the best.
In summary, these are a few random points that i remember preety well,
1) marriage is an ibadah, sex between husband and wife is sedekah.
2) men cannot multi-task like us women. So when we(women) ask them a question, they usually take a long time to answer because they need to think first, before they speak.They seem slow like that. In short, we can consider men as dial up 56k modem, while we women are wireless broadband. HELL YEAH, I LIKE THAT.
3) you cant count in your wife's salary in your household budget. Whatever comes out of her pocket (that means her money), is contribution, not her obligations. :)
4) sex dos and donts
5) there are many doa(s) to recite, including one for when you're having intercourse with your partner. hurhur. The most beautiful doa, was the one, when the husband touches the forehead of the wife (during batalkan air sembahyang, which is right after akad nikah), and doa to allah to seek the goodness in her.
6)the akad nikah which consist of ijab and qabul is the process of proposing and accepting. And it is the woman who proposes (ijab) and the man accepts (qabul).
After writing those down, i think i did enjoyed the course after all. Most importantly, being among happily in love couples, made us happy too.

Oh, i so have to talk bout this lady. Her hantaran was freaking 20,000. Wah,nak bayar down payment rumah ke? I think kahwin anak lord ah.The funny thing was, after the speaker asked her that, and when he moved on to ask other ladies on their hantaran, all of them replied, "Rahsia." Haha.
Aniways, after Love and me were presented with our certs, we headed down to SAFRA yishun to eat at EATZI Gourmet. Yupz, F-I-N-A-L-L-Y, I managed to celebrate Love's birthday. It was our first time at Eatzi (though we have been planning to eat there since last year). I din like the funny dishes for the set meal. Maybe next time, we'll try the ala carte dishes.
So I presented Love, with the scrapbook album i made myself. And he loves it. Duh, it was gorgeous, and i know Love has eyes for preety & gorgeous stuffs. *ehem* 
Bought the scrapbook kit at M-W-L and of course, the kit came with different coloured papers and pathetic embelishments. So ive decided to add my own bellies to it. Love love love the result!
Here are some of the pages in that album.
So yeah, finally, i am flirting with scraps. And i have this itch to do another one. heh.
