Ting's Review

Recently got a black cat torch light with OSRAM 100 lumen led from dx.com. The red color version was a little bit cheaper at USD7.99 compared with the black at USD8.12. The reviews on the site were pretty good. All comments saying that it was really bright (for its size). The only problem mentioned was that it tend to heat up pretty fast. Guess that's why its really bright. Waited patiently for 2 weeks for the torch light to arrive. The black cat! or red? OSRAM led Threads were clean and easy to twist on and off. Opened it up and loaded in a AAA battery right away. Clean threads Nice responsive on/off rubber clicker at the back of the torch. Clicker at the back The light is really bright in the middle with a light ring at short range. Probably has pretty good throw and decent short range flood. It could easily brighten a medium size room. Will need to try it out outdoors next time. Easily lights up a medium size room I love the black cat. The nice

Another stay in Singapore and this time decided to try out the Santa Grand Hotel Bugis . The hotel is located about 10-15 minutes walk away from Bugis MRT. The walkway between the MRT station and the hotel is rather dark but then again, its Singapore one of the safest places in the world. Anyway, I was given a room with no window.

No biggie, just interesting :) Safe, fridge Ah the bathroom, no funky smells, to

Had a wedding to attend to and since the lots of relatives were flying in, there wasn't much room at the local relatives house. Thought it might be a good time to try out the Tune Hotel . The location is great. Just a five minute walk away from the water front. There is a 7-11 nearby in case you want to get some snacks or water.

Bed is fantastic. They advertise as having 5 star beds. Well I believe that. I found it very comfortable for its price range. 5 star bed The bathroom had a slight smell, not sure what it was but nothing too annoying. The shower was really nice as it was hot and had strong pres
