In that case, lar definitely sounds like it could be a case of um, like, or so. They don’t seem to convey meaning but represent a glitch in someone’s speaking. I guess they are very difficult habits to break. I can attest to the difficulty of breaking a habit of cursing every other word, that I once had learned.
I’m not sure I wanna break it in the first place. It’s ingrained in my identity.
So I typed no lar intentionally, just like how I would answer a Singaporean friend. Didn’t expect @south_korea_ln to catch on to it n stimulate this conversation ;)

I guess any nitpicking on anything to keep an online conversation going is fair game. Sometimes it gets pretty dry without people nitpicking and riding hobby horses. Sometimes there is even a laugh or two in it somewhere.
