Birthday Excitement

By Darnell Dwumfour

November 2nd is a special day for some people and a regular day for most. It was a rather eventful, tragic day that resulted in confusion, excitement, and memories. For me, It was an extraordinary day. It was Jason Choi's (12) birthday! 

Romeo Kontsas (12) and I sped off to the mall at approximately 5 pm. We urgently searched for a birthday present for Choi. Choi informed us that he wanted a cologne worth 1000 rm. I obviously told him that he was crazy and there was no way we would buy that for him. He then went on to tell us that he wanted Crocs. And he strictly said he wanted either the ugliest Crocs we could find or the prettiest Crocs we could find. So obviously, we went with the Ugliest Crocs we could find. 

Kontsas and I then sped off to Choi's (12) birthday dinner as we were late buying Jason a gift. We arrived at Sae ma eul (a Korean BBQ restaurant). Of course, Choi was full of excitement to see what we got for him. He then opened the gift bag to see that he got Hufflepuff Crocs. At first, there was laughter as he really couldn't get mad at the gift since he was the one who gave us two choices. And of course, Choi, being himself, the first thing that he told me after he received the gift was, "So Darnell, what's the return policy?" No thank you or anything; he asked me what the return policy was. There was laughter and disappointment as I expected him to say "thank you" or something like that. Afterward, he told me it was a joke and greatly appreciated the gift. 

Then, we all sat down and enjoyed our delicious BBQ while talking about our memories. 

And that's a wrap of how Jason Choi's (12) birthday went. Full of excitement and laughter.
