It looks like Ficus benjamina. Here is a link that might be useful: Ficus benjamina

This looks like an Echeveria that has been kept in a dark spot, hence its leggy look. Its looking for light. Also being a succulent it will not require watering as much,in fact a bit of neglect will not hurt. Move it into a brighter and warmer spot.

Oak and ash look very similar from a distance, both being ring-porous woods. Ash tends to have a whiter tone (unless you get some dark heartwood). Red oak tends to have reds, yellows, and often some blacks in it (I was once told there were 35 different color gradings for red oak). White oak tends to be browner. But all that said, any wood can have all the color bleached out of it. The way I tell is to look for medullary rays. Ash has none, red oak shorter ones and white oak longer ones. What medullary rays look like depends upon the orientation of the wood as cut from the log, as the rays go radially. Plainsawn will show just short lines, quarter or rift sawn will show large figure.

Well, judging by the upright small pods and the smaller, narrower leaves, I'd guess a Thai chile of some sort. Josh
