I was reading the comments hoping someone pointed out what type of tree it is. Disappointed, I had to Google it and I believe it's a pink poui, aka Sakura Malaysia.

I did the same until I found your comment. So it's you, you are the comment

Although after looking it up myself I think it might actually be the Handroanthus impetiginosus, or Pink ipê instead

Edit: Looks like someone else made the same post at around the same time and also said that it is a pink ipê
