Gardening advice on Christmas Day please!

One of my presents this morning was a packet of already slightly sprouting narcissi bulbs in a packet, along with a ceramic pot and dry discs of compressed compost which have to be soaked in 800 ml of water first.
Wanting to plant the bulbs in the pot immediately I've soaked the cubes as instructed but now have a liquid sludge which is far too liquid for planting anything in.
Never used these dried compressed cubes before. Does the compost dry out rapidly as part of this initial process, ready for planting the bulbs in the top one third of the compost or shall I drain off the surplus moisture now and then plant the bulbs. if I leave liquid accumulated in the lower part of the pot won't the bulbs rot?
