Trees and plants on my way home

When I walk from the MRT station home, I pass through two parks and some shaded streets off the main road. There are plenty of plants here, and I've made it my mission to identify them. Members of our hiking group have been boning up on local flora so we can appear knowledgeable when new members join us!
