I just realized that native Malaysians aren't Malay! D
Does everyone here thinks Malays are the original race on this country who first set foot, thereby claiming that they are superior to others? That sure is deemed evident by what the government does, pouring huge mounts of aid and $ to Malays. However my trip to Taman Negara, meeting these 'authentic' Malay tribes(above), sure did give me a whole new 'immigrant' image of the Malays.
Looks like they aren't so different from us after all.....

Maths Find dy/dx for the function x^3 + 4^(x/2) + 3
Solve the simultaneous equations y + 2x = 5 2x^2 - 3x - y = 16
The equations x^2 + 10x + k = 0 has equal roots. Find K. For this value of K, sketch the graph of y = x^2 + 10x + k, showing the coordinates of any points at which the graphs meets the coordinate axes.
Sense a big difference in the difficulty among the four subjects i'm doing? Official exams are daunting, its just 2 weeks away. I found out many wesleyans are going to do A-levels. Well here's a taste of what some of the questions to come, not that to dissuade you guys, but maybe to provide an insight of whats really ahead.
Maths, science and econs are quite popular from what I've found out, so here's what I think. The syllabus entails much similarity with form 5,4 even 3 malaysian syllabus(in the case of mathematics) therefore it won't be completely gobbledygook to new intakes.
Maths should be a free A for most wesleyans, science really depending on your grip on how much you already forgotten, haha. Econs seems simplistic and comprehensible in the earlier chapters but it goes much deeper as questions on a topic progresses. Again, it really depends how you find it. I personally think Econs A's within reach of a couple of metres, but beware of the deep, spiraling traps in disguise that lie beneath the short reach.
To all Alevel takers in January, good luck!
