Flights from London-KL

eric56 — Thu, 10 Oct 2013 12:31:21 +0800

I havent been around in a while, and on my way back from the US this january, i plan to stop at london for a week or so to visit some friends.

the last time i was in malaysia, airasia was still flying to the UK, but not anymore apparently.

Can anyone suggest some good(cheap) flights from london to kl?

oh and if anyone has any experience doing this, is it better to buy the multi-city flight US-LHR-KUL-US or 2 round trips, US-LHR and LHR-KUL?

new motherboard, wifi not working

eric56 — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:58:29 +0800

i recently sent my laptop to repair and changed my laptop's motherboard.

it couldnt even detect wifi at first so i went back to the shop. he fixed some other stuff (not related to wifi) that involves restarting the laptop.

suddenly it was working at the shop. came home, now can detect wifi but cannot connect.

it says like it did not receive any response from the wireless or sometimes like the connection is weak or something.

i doubt its the wifi because my uni's wifi is pretty strong and i can use other device to connect to it

any suggestions from anyone would be awesome before i go back to the shop
