I am not trying to say that I have the best English, I am just saying that they should use better grammar.
For example this would be good grammar:

Hey how are you doing?

This would be bad:

hi how r u doin?

Hi , i know its kind of hard to understand what most people say here . But most of them can be understood if you read it again and again , Abbreviations such as : Lol , ROFL , FTW , r , u , y , are what most internet users used when they are lazy or they are used to typing what they are saying like that . As for "la" , "le" are what we can call them Singlish . Most of the people living in Singapore ( Even people from other country that come to Singaproe to have a long stay or to have schooling here in Singapore used "la" , "le" too as they wanted to fit in , at least thats what i think .. ) used these as they are very used to it . I hope this will help you to understand more about Singapore / Malaysia .

It is not a Singlish ==" it is Mandarin Chinese... 了(le) or 啦(la)...
PS. What is Singlish? Singapore Language? Almost as same as Mandarin Chinese

Lol I wanna to hear how it sounds like lol?

I prefer speaking proper English even while typing.
Now a lot of people like to use "u" for "you", "edi" for already.
(edi sounds like language in ASM, sorry my brain was flooded with these language this few days )

Sometimes I can't even understand what they trying to say.
Proper English FTW!
