The 452-metre tall Petronas Twin Towers are the tallest twin buildings in the world. They were designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art..

A PRAYER FOR THE WOMEN OF ASIA

King David had three queens , the daughter of king Saul Michal, when David was soldier she had fallen in love with him , Saul had been pleased and had given her in marriage to David .The second queen beautiful Abhigail David was returning from battle had requested food from Nabal a rich farmer who had a thousand sheep. Nabal a churlish arrogant man refused to help David , but his wife Abhigail went with food loaded on asses ,did obeisance to him . That night Nabal died .Later David married the widow of Nabal.

The third queen Bathsheba It was the time when Kings go for battle leading their , but King David the Goliath’s slayer sent his army and all his servants to besiege the city of Rabbah while He himself stayed back in Jerusalem and enjoyed the pleasures that wealth can give leisure, wine, women . One evening when he was walking on the palace terrace .The magestic palace had huge paraphets from one could see far out at the hills and the approaching armies and look down into the homes of his subjects King David saw Bathsheba the beautiful wife of one of the captain of the jewish army Uriah the Hittite and desired her . She was washing herself in the courtyard of her poor house .

King David had an extramarital affair with his captain Uriah the Hittite’s wife Bathsheba and a child was conceived . King David in order to cover up this affair , sent his captain Uriah the Hittite to the forefront of the battle and had him killed . He ordered his army to continue fighting while He himself stayed back in Jerusalem . As soon as the time of mourning was over, David married Bathsheba. [From Bible II Samuel]

Abraham sent Hagar away with her son Ishmail into the wilderness because Sarah was unhappy [Genesis 21]

After a long drive ,we relaxed at the Sentosa hotel in the sentosa islands , our room was facing the sea , I could see large ships in harbour. Evening we went to the seaside open-air theatre , witness ‘The Songs of the Sea’ a 3D sound and light show, features pyrotechnics displays, water jets, laser show and flame bursts, a live cast.

 We had to take the Sentosa Express monorail, , again I noticed young men and girls managing everything at the station. To go to the station there were escalators , mummy a senior citizen took the lift meant for her.

Next day was a city tour of the island and museum . Singapore as the name suggests has a huge lion’s head fountain at the marina opposite Marine Bay Sands hotel and resort worlds most expensive restuarent .We walked across a bridge to the marina square .near the Merlion Statue fountain where We stood there clicking photographs and watching the barges going up and down the river.

Sentosa can be reached from the Singapore mainland via a short causeway or Cable Car, which originates from Mount Faber and passes through HarbourFront en route to its final destination. We took a ride in the cable car enjoying the scene of the singapore harbour ,marina square and Next day was spent in Universal studios a theme park before entering the gates we visited ‘underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon’ an oceanarium located on the western part of Sentosa.

The park consists of seven themed zones which surround a lagoon.

We were provided lunch coupons ,we proceeded to the Ancient Egypt zone is themed after the rich Egyptian architecture and artifacts found during the Golden Age of Egyptian Exploration in the 1930s. Huge statutes of the jackal god are placed at the door of the café. Egyptian god Wepwawet is depicted as a man with the head of a wolf or a jackal. with grey, or white fur, reflecting his lupine origins, dressed as a soldier, as well as carrying other military equipment—a mace and a bow. Two young handsome men dressed like Egyptian temple guards were walking on sitles were behaving like jackals ,sniffing the girls ,snarling and showing their claws. Trying to frighten the girls with their lupine activity .

It was evening when we gathered near the huge logo a globe with universal studio written on it. The area was beautiful lighted with musical chimes and chinese laterns.

There I was thinking about the old Testament ,according to the Book of Exodus, Moses was born in a time when his people, the Children of Israel, were increasing in numbers and the Egyptian Pharaoh was worried that they might ally with Egypt's enemies. Moses' Hebrew mother, Jochebed, secretly hid him when the Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed upon the circulating prophecy among Egyptian priests of a messianic deliverer among the Hebrew slaves. Through the Pharaoh's sister Queen Bithia, the child was adopted as a foundling from the Nile river and grew up with the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slavemaster, Moses fled across the Red Sea to Midian, where he encountered the God of Israel speaking to him from within a "burning bush".

God sent Moses back to Egypt to demand the release of the Israelites from slavery. Moses said that he could not speak with assurance or eloquence, so God allowed Aaron, his brother, to become his spokesperson. After the Ten Plagues, Moses led the Exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt and across the Red Sea, after which they based themselves at Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. After 40 years of wandering in the desert, Moses died within sight of the Promised Land.
