Where would I rather be at this moment? Home! in Kuching but I am stuck here in a hotel room in Bintulu. Flight back to Kuching this afternoon was full and me and a colleague have been on waiting list for two days. Why do they only have one flight to Kuching in the evening? Blame it on MAS and AirAsia.Well, I was in Mukah again yesterday and this morning - work. Last month I was here as well but this time around we took a direct flight from Kuching to Mukah, on a Twin Otter! Yes, been a while since I last took a flight with Twin Otter. My colleague, Sam was excited with the whole thing but I don't dare to ask him what he thinks about the plane as I am afraid I wouldn't want to take another trip with that plane next time around - if i hear what he has to say :)Take a look a the pix taken.

OJ detailed his day long chase of a suspicious looking man he saw at a Vegas McDonalds with unusually small hands.

TMZ.com reports that Simpson was supposed to give a deposition in a bankruptcy case involving one of his daughters, but it was cancelled.

When I was a kid my parent's had a place out in the woods of Wakefield, NH. They had some good friends named Biff and June. Biff loved to tell ghost stories and the kids would gather around the fire as he told them. Probably the scariest story I heard was the one about a couple who was in a car, on an old dirt road. The road that our house was on was dirt. Biff told us that it was much like our road. At the time there were no other homes close to ours and we were in the woods. So during a long dark night when you are 6 or 7 years old the woods seem so much larger than they are today.Biff told us how the couple's car broke down, they waited in the car for a while and the boy told the girl about a deranged killer who got loose and had a hook for a hand. While they were in the car they heard a skritch, skritch, skritch on the window. They could not see anything, the young man said he would get out to look at the car, the girl said no, don't. He got out opened the hood, the girl heard t
Indonesia summoned Australia's ambassador for an explanation after police allegedly entered the Jakarta governor's hotel room in Sydney during an official visit. Gov. Sutiyoso, who goes by a single name, said he was enraged when authorities issued him with a summons to testify Wednesday at an inquest into the deaths of five Australia-based journalists covering Indonesia's 1975 invasion of East Timor. "They barged into my room after forcing the hotel to give them a duplicate key," Sutiyoso told reporters after cutting short his trip and returning home. "I feel harassed as an official state guest from a sovereign country."Earlier: Australian Govt told Indonesia 'not to worry' abou...
I knocked on the hotel door. A young looking Val Kilmer, with dark hair, tanned, soft skin, nothing but a towel covering his midsection greeted me. A Chinese symbol graced the left shoulder. He smiled with perfect symmetry, the kind of smile you get lost in... "Come in" he said "You have a pretty face" Hmmm... I thought & smiled back. I don't consider myself pretty but then he was young & perhaps a little nervous - like me."Coffee?" he asked in a gentle voice."Love one, Thank you!"I sat in the lounge room & made myself comfortable. He returned shortly after, placed the cups on the table, dropped his towel and laid face down on the sofa directly in front of me. I did well to maintain eye contact, although I had a great view of his firm, tanned & might I say - adorable backside..His legs were smooth & seemed to glow. Then just as I began to feel at ease he simply blurted out..."I want your #### in my mouth"I must say I was a little taken back by his forward nature. I figured thi
So, for whatever reason I dreamed of Brad Pitt last night. It's probably because I watched "Seven" the night before (awesome older movie with Morgan Freeman and Gwyneth Paltrow in it). For the first time in my life I dream about being with someone famous, in a hotel room and... we talked about Angelina, their new son Pax and he showed me pictures of his sisters that were going to come to visit to see Pax.In my dream Brad was laying on his side on the floor and I was sitting cross legged next to him. Angelina had taken Pax to the United States to finalize the adoption and Brad and I were still ( somewhere ) in a hotel room. There was a footprint of Pax's in the sand in front of us and I grabbed my camera to take a picture of it because I thought it would make a great cherished photo for Brad and Angelina. While I did so, Brad told me that Pax had 11 toes. He was born with one extra on his left foot. Then he showed me pictures of his sister and said they were coming to visit
On February 8, 2007, Smith was found unresponsive in a room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. At 1:38 p.m. (18:38 UTC) Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger said a nurse in Smith’s sixth floor room called the hotel front desk, who in turn called security, who in turn called 911, and at 1:45 p.m. a bodyguard administered CPR before she was rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital at 2:10 p.m and pronounced DOA at 2:49 p.m. Smith’s husband, Howard K. Stern, was with her when she died and has reported to Entertainment Tonight that her temperature was running high the night before. An autopsy is expected to be performed to determine an official cause of death.
As reported by Reuters, on Wednesday (February 7), a Los Angeles judge had set a February 21 deadline for Smith to complete a DNA paternity test of her five-month-old daughter, as part of a lawsuit by ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead, who claims to be the father from a two-year relationship with Smith
There is only one thing cooler than a haunted hotel room, and that is a hotel room that was sealed up and lost for 40 years!
The search for a leaky water pipe led to the recent discovery of a hidden room at the former West Virginian Hotel in Bluefield. Maintenance worker Dan Kirby was knocking down a wall looking for pipes two weeks ago when he found an entire room.
The room had news clippings from the 30s, vintage bottle caps and crates, and no one had any idea this room was there, the architectural drawings of the former hotel have long been lost.

Here is a step by step process for booking a hotel room at the lowest rate1. Research hotels on Orbitz (or whatever traditional booking system you prefer: Expedia, Travelocity, Hotels.com, etc. I will use Orbitz as the example for simplicity).2. Next, go to Hotwire.com (US only) to see if there is a nicely priced property in comparison to what you found on Orbitz. Hotwire does not show you the property name, but it does give you the price, the general location, star rating, and amenities. The prices on hotwire are sometimes as much as 40% off the best price you will find elsewhere. If you are outside the US go to Step Three.. Yesterday, I booked a hotel in Denver. The best price on Orbitz was $86. I got it for $57 on Hotwire. That's a 30% discount. Not bad.3. But don't stop there. Read the full story
