Oh my gosh! Both nightmare and excitement on this posting for I was in one of the "All Hong Kong Open Piano Recital Competition" or something like that when I was may be 5 years old... I froze on stage when it was my turn to perform. Placed 82 out of 85 top performers in Hong Kong or something like that...to this date, I still cannot remember the name of the piece which I once work very hard on and had it memorize for the competition just to be "disqualify" to the next round because I froze up, after 2 to 3 notes on the piano on the stage of I think a school on the Hong Kong side of the Colony- " Wong Yun She Yuen"....The recital was not held at Penisula Hotel in Kowloon...I one I participated in was held in the early 1960s, may be 1960-61.... :>/
