Passenger Vent Window

Do you know that the small triangular window pane by the passenger seat is called the Vent Window?... I never knew that too. For the past 25years of my life, i just called it "the small window".

So why the sudden interest?

Simple...my car got broken into last night. And yep, the robber broke in through the vent window by the passenger seat. Ransacked my car, and he made off with nothing. Thankfully, i do not have the habit of putting valuables in my car... and neither do i have the fetish of installing the swank-iest audio system with ah-beng level bass speakers.

Funnily, i was pretty calm about it upon the discovery. Neither was i pissed. On the contrary, i was quietly happy about it. I was happy that my loss was only a small window, and not the entire car!...

Well, but it disrupted my work day. Was pretty distracted....was busy sourcing for a reliable auto-glass dealer...got a couple of recommendations from colleagues and friends all around. Finally travelled down to a mexican-run auto glass dealer in San Jose.

This place is beautiful, and is a land of opportunities. But it is times like this when i appreciate the life i used to take for granted in Singapore.
