Singapore's sakura

'sakura' along nicoll highway

i can't remember the name of this tree, though i am quite sure it's in one of my blog post. this tree flowers when it rains after couple of hot days. this to me kinda looks like sakura from afar. the interesting thing about this tree is that when it flowers, the leaves drop too. so you see only flowers on the tree.


well, the major difference i suppose it's not as tiny and cute as the cherry blossoms. but i guess i will settle for this before i ever get a chance to see the sakuras in japan.
