Nice job Purba! I think you set it up right… but a couple of comments:

1. the ICC is pretty strong (0.3), so you might also examine an ICC of 0.10.  

2. the effect size of 0.3 is pretty strong.  If you anticipate a 5% decrease in systolic blood pressure, for example, and the average SBP is 150, then this would be an effect size of 5/150 = 0.033.  Maybe a decimal point error?  You might re-check this one.  I think for a pilot test a 5% reduction is pretty aggressive… it would be reasonable to power the study for a 10% reduction to accommodate the limited sample size you will have.
