^ The shots are just like posters in themselves. :cool:

The "sexy queen" of the team was absent from the debut performance of the stage due to schedule conflicts, tho (that number was hence missing from that performance too). *sigh*

The multi-talented top dancer of the team is also a Latin dancer & erhu (a traditional Chinese string instrument) player. :)
