It's the 20th day of fasting. Baru nak update blog. So far puasa has been good.Haven't been to the mosque for terawikh. I prefer doing it at home. Banyak sangat perangai pelik-pelik kat surau tu. Dari pegi sakit hati and terumpat dalam hati..buat saja kat rumah la kan..
Managed to cook almost everyday. Just that balik rumah in-laws tak masak apa langsung. They are not foodies, beli je ala kadar..sahur pun kat luar. I had what I considered one of the best nasi kerabu I've ever had. Bought at Ampangan's Pasar Ramadhan. 2 days in a row. But I suspect, the nasi also left me with an unsettled tummy.
Biskut raya tak buat lagi. Rasanya buat hari Selasa kot. Just nak buat the Chocolate Rice cookies, Choc Chip cookies..what else? Ntah..tak terasa nak berbiskut2 raya tahun ni. We plan on scouring last minute kerepek deals kat Alor Setar nanti. Yes, normally there's quite the bargain anywhere on Raya eve.
I've sent a few pairs of baju kurung to be done at a tailor in Alor Setar. It was a last minute thing. Saw her ad at cari forum. Thought I'd just gamble my luck. Actually, I already have 2 baju kurung..and there are several pairs that I haven't worn at kampung..Also, tangan is very itchy shopping online. Bahh..online shops are dangerous..rasa nak beli jer. Currently I am waiting for my muslimah t-shirt, a wristlet and a perfume to arrive. This morning I was itching to buy another t-shirt..tapi setakat ini berjaya mengekang nafsu.
On Monday, I'm having new spectacles done. I'm looking for a rectangle shape black frames. Nerdy looking glasses. I tried a few pairs before and Mr. Hubster thought it was hot. Whatever turns you on honney..hehe..MOG had these Armani frames..maybe I'll get those. I'm also thinking of getting a black pallazo pants..a new shirt for Mr. Hubster (who likes to scrimp on clothes but pays thousands for his car, camera thingy, IT gadgets) and new shoes!
This year, we'll be going back to his kampung first..Fortunately we might not be sleeping there as the house is predicted to be very very crowded with his cousins. Mr. Hubster has already booked a hotel. Would it be terribly weird if we stayed at a hotel? The house is really cramp and there's only 1 toilet. Estimated persons to be in the house...25? So tak mengada la kan kalau duduk hotel? It'd be crazy not to.
Right..so that's the update on Ramadhan 2011. Semoga berjumpa lagi di tahun hadapan..

Tune Hotel, Danga Bay, Johor Bahru
Ever since I heard of Tune Hotel, I was skeptical. Is it really true that a hotel can deliver a satisfactory stay with really low prices?
Yes, it can!
Mr. Hubby and I was planning on a sorta backpacking trip to Singapore but we didn't want to stay in Singapore because it would be way too expensive and over our budget. Then, we remembered seeing Tune Hotel at Danga Bay on our previous trip to JB, so we decided to give it a try.
Booking online is so easy and would be the preferred choice because that's where you get all the discounts. The thing is, the earlier you book your stay, the cheaper will the price be. An early start on planning your holidays would be great for this sort of hotel. As for payment, you could pay with major credit card and via Maybank2u. Also let it be known that room charges does not include air-condition, towels, toiletries, and tv (you have to pay all this you want them but not to worry, the charges are reasonable for a no frills hotel). There's also no telephone in the room and you can pay for WIFI in your room.
Check in time is 2.00p.m sharp and check out is 10.00a.m sharp. When I say sharp, it's sharp. Because we arrived around 1.40p.m and they won't let us check in yet. So we had lunch at Singgah Selalu across the street (which serves variety food that's good) while waiting for 2.00p.m to come.
The room was cozy albeit how small it was. For the two of us, we considered it perfect. Pictures will tell you more.
View from the door. As you can see, there's no cupboard, just a swiveling table and a place to hang your clothes. I love the feature wall.
The bed was comfortable. Definitely worth your money.
What I love the most is the huge shower head with the awesome water pressure!
Yes, it can!

So how much did we really have to pay for our stay? The total was RM162 (including 24hour air-cond credit, RM5 Tune Hotel Insurance, Service Charges and Taxes) for a 4 days 3 nights stay. Roughly, it's RM54 per night. In my opinion, the price is affordable and more than reasonable. We paid RM10.60 for 1 day TV usage, this is just for our first day in the hotel because we were out from morning to night on the 2nd and 3rd day.
There's a cafe on the 1st floor, a 7Eleven on the ground floor and an ATM too. There's 4 computers near the concierge (if you can call it that) that hooks up to the Internet. They're free for hotel guests, I think. While there's no room service for ironing, I saw a sign that says there's a complimentary ironing service on the 1st floor. Also, you can leave the door sign to "Make up Room", and voila, when you return, your bed is made and the trash is gone.
Tune Hotel, Danga Bay is situated next to the main road from Skudai to JB. It's also accessible from Pantai Lido. At the time of our visit, there were major roadworks going on, so going there might be a hassle if you don't know JB roads.
The hotel certainly lives to up expectation and it's motto of no frills budget hotel with 5star bedding and 1star charges. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. Will I come again or try out other Tune Hotel outlets? Yes, definitely.
