Hello and welcome to my blog

"Let the artist live, but let him at the same time learn to recreate his life & his emotions into ART"

Hi I'm Donovan, and this is my new cyberspace abode! Sometimes there r just so many things you encounter in your daily musings that it's nice to put down in words.

It gave me the inspiration to start chronicling my experiences before they get lost within the recesses of my memory. This blog focuses primarily on all the passsions of my life namely performing arts, communications, speech & drama training, corporate training, entrepreneurship & wellness. In addition, travelling & experiencing the wonders of the world is something I truly enjoy as well. Having been to most parts of the world, I'm grateful that I was able to explore & tried many things in life which had given me a balance in terms of life skills, experiences and fond memories. (love Japan, especially the food & the onsens...)

Life is short. Everyday is about learning something new.To me, living life to the fullest is the ability to take charge of your life, be in control of your mental, emotional and physical state, and to bring out the best of our personal potential. So let's embrace life with passion and enthusiasm!  Conquer your fears, turn adversities into opportunities and lead a purpose-driven life!! As the saying goes: Courage is not the absence of fear, but taking action despite of fear.

My personal motto is: Live each day as if you are going to die tomorrow, and learn as if you are going to live forever!

Corporate Events (STWW: stage performances)

* Stage Act Slide Show

Our stage act was the highlight of the night amongst other performers from Malaysia, Indonesia & China. With only 5 days; from conceptualisation, casting, directing to rehearsing, our performance garnered the most votes and was named the CHAMPION! (Kudos to all the talented casts for their committment & charitable spirit).

As an Artiste, the greatest joy comes not only in entertaining others, but even more so, when it is done for a greater cause... to help the less fortunate. We managed to raise RM90,000 for the SEA Children's Heart Fund during this event.

"Growth as an Actor and as a human being are synonymous."
