For about 2 weeks before his birthday,
Don has been telling Hon:
"Don't do anything special for my birthday!"
"Don't spend too much money for me!"
"Don't pressure your friends to do something for my birthday!"
"Let's just go to cheap restaurant on my birthday!"
"I don't need a surprise!"
Don really knows how to pressure Hon, right?
It is really difficult to prepare a party
when the main subject of the party
is constantly talking/thinking about the party and
reminding others that it is his birthday soon!
