My house was... ALMOST burglared

Most people would have known that my house was almost broken in. Note the 'almost', which means, my house has NOT been broken in. My mum knows it le anyway, so no point not blogging about it le... And I still cannot believe I was at home when this happened. Reminds me of that time in Brissy....

The whole episode is summarized as below:
I heard bangs outside the house and dismissed it as renovation works in the neighbourhood until the bangs got unbearably loud. I walked up from the chair and was walking to the living room when I realised the bangs was outside my house, just behind the blinds in the second bedroom. Went over to the window and drew up the blinds and there, someone was trying to break my glass window. He had succeeded in creating a little hole at the corner which I reckoned he did that so that he could remove the stick that prevented the sliding part from opening. (Whatever la.. I'm bad with description..)

Man saw me, stood up and ran. Me, exclaimed "What the hell" and walked back into the room to grab my phone. I wanted to call the police... But seconds later, I put down my handphone and went online to search for the number to call for non-emergency cases. My house wasnt broken in afterall mah.. Haha.. And then the police came, blah blah blah...

I couldnt believe how amazingly calm I was though. But the hole in the window did traumatise me and making me paranoid, till now. Anyway, the damage's shown in the next pix..
Note the small corner ~ Not very big, and the stick
Price to repair the window
The hole is not very big, but the financial damage is huge. Luckily I'm not the one paying ~

PS: And I did the most stupidest thing after the window was broken.. I went to clean the side of the window that has always been under the mosquito net till it shines. The burglar wore gloves anyway ~ If you can refer back to the pix, realise how dirty is the other side? Anyway, it shines now...
See how clean the windows are now? haha..
