That's my straw!

I'm not making any fuss about little things, but I just want to express my opinion here(which of course is the purpose of a blog at the first place).

Anyway, yesterday I went to Sunway Pyramid to do some shopping. Then, my mum and I had our dinner at one of the fast food chain there. So,at the restaurant, after placing my order, the cashier put my tray aside at the counter while waiting for our food to be prepared. My tray was sitting beside another woman's tray. Since she ordered her food first, the staff then prepared her food before mine. But, one thing that that woman did really pisssed me off. As she was leaving the counter with her tray, she unexpectedly with a non guilty look, took the straw which was in my tray! The straw that I personally took for my self. Out of the many straws in the restaurant, she choose the straw which is in MY TRAY.I was like.."what the hell?". Wah, suka2 hati je ambik. Kalau minta permission boleh tahan lagi. Ni tak..geram gak ar time tu.

So, within that short moment as she walked away from the counter, I was doing some calculation in my mind. Should I just let it go since it is just a small matter or should I stand for my rights and do what's right? Then I said "excuse me, EXCUSE ME..". The woman turned around. I continued, " I believe that's my straw". She then with a shocked face, put back my straw and the staff who was nearby then gave the woman another straw. She didn't even say she was sorry (atleast I didn't hear it).

But anyway, I was satisfied that day. Not because I got my straw back, but because I was doing what's right. I'm standing up for my rights and not let others step on me. Actually, I still can't believe that I actually did that, but yeah..I actually did it. And that's something that we must always do in life. No matter how small that matter might be, always do what's right, speak up and stand up for your rights!
