20:30 hours - Location: Bangkok city, Thailand. Just done dinner with the fiery Tom-Yum, now strolling around city. Super-heaty night. City never sleeps, taxis and parlours all over. SMS text came-in from my blood brother down south in Malaysia; “Aerosmith concert, Singapore, tomorrow night. Let’s go. I’ll grab the tix.”
20:35 hours – I replied, “Bloody lie. Jakarta was off, no way Singapore. Are u sure?” Hoping it was a hoax and true at the same time. Spinning-mind coupled with adrenaline rush concurrently. Can’t miss this if its real. Sh$*! Googling “Aerosmith Singapore” now…
20:37 hours – Reply came in with SISTIC concert ticket of the upcoming Aerosmith concert. I’ll be damned. “Walk this Way brother. Are you in?” I replied the “Hell yeah! Get the tix (1000x)! Coming back first flight.”
21:00 hours – still confirming with news on websites. Totally confirmed by no other than Aeroforceone.com, the official Boston bad boys PR channel. I’ve got to go back tonight! Calling Malaysian Airlines now.
21:40 hours – “You are queeing at number 7. Our officer will tend to you shortly. Please be patient.” Are you kidding? I’ve been patient for the last 30 years to watch Mr Tyler, not now Ms.computer-replying-machine-operator. Errr…logging on to Tony Airlines…Gotcha! Taking off from Don Mueng Airport around 12:00pm local time, ETA KLIA LCCT around 15:05pm. Booked, paid, saved. The Amazing Rock Race begins...
