I got up at 6.45am this morning to the sound of my racing pulse, frantic and worried that we had more houses to paint and that somehow I had overslept. It was a wonderful realisation and relief that we the EPIC-ians had already successfully painted 10 houses yesterday and built a fully functional toilet.

It is crazy indeed how our first project came and went like the wind, even though time was short, everything somehow fit together perfectly like EPIC was a tetris game being played by a professional. It was barely 1 and half months ago when GEL decided to take on this EPIC challenge and sceptically send out an invitation through facebook. It was only about 14 days ago when we received our first donation adding to our bank balance of zero. It was only 5 days ago when we hit our hopeful target of 50 and exceeded it by 10 a day before we headed to Kampung Jawa Kerling. It doesn't end there. It was only the beginning as during the project, even though dark clouds loomed over us and thunders roared, we were greeted only with shy drizzles of water.

It definitely helped that we were surrounded by fellow painters who were high in spirit and painted as though it wasn't going to rain. After two days of sweating, getting painted on and connecting my heart and mind with 60 other people, it is a joy and relief that there is indeed extraordinary people out there who dare make a difference and make the future a whole lot brighter for our nation. Right now there might be less than 100, but this little trip of ours has fueled my spirit and body to keep this going so that more can come to this same realisation as I have. Project EPIC will only get bigger, and so will our numbers.

To all those who braved Kampung Jawa Kerling with us strangers, Thank you for proving this skeptic wrong.

Hi peeps,

Just wanna put up some rules for the t-shirt purchasing process. To purchase a t-shirt, there are two methods:

• Cash on delivery
• Cash deposit

For COD(cash on delivery) method, please e-mail me at lohjonming@hotmail.com regarding the arrangement to pass you the t-shirt in exchange for the payment upfront - or you could also elect someone else to meet up with one of us (perhaps it would most likely be a mutual friend) and then you could deposit the payment yourself.

You would need to provide your:

• Name

• Preferred venue for COD
• Quantity
• Size

For other than cash on delivery method, We can only offer to courier the t-shirt via PosLaju at RM6 to Peninsular Malaysia and RM9 to East Malaysia. Charges apply for average purchase quantities and delivery fees may increase for bulk orders. This may be discussed further during communication. Thus, please e-mail me at lohjonming@hotmail.com BEFORE depositing any payment to inform me that you are doing so, and I will get the purchase ready to be sent out. You would need to provide your:

Okay, that's all for now. There may be some thoughts about setting up a booth at a bazaar in the future to sell the t-shirts. I will keep you posted on that.

Thank you for supporting us and walking with us through this epic journey.

See you around!

Hey you!


The GEL (Growing Emerging Leaders) Team is gaining steam on the EPIC Project. We are on the way to gathering all the raw materials and transportation and also rallying a target of 50 or more participants to join us in enhancing the quality of life for a group of Orang Asli villagers in Kampung Jawa, Kuala Kubu Baru, on the 21st & 22nd of January 2010.

In raising awareness of this project, we are now selling our very own project E.P.I.C t-shirts! Profits will be recycled into the sponsorship of the events organized throughout the cause of this project.

The pricing of the t-shirts are as follows:




T-shirts will be made available to you only mid-January onwards as the order is still in production.

Lay your trust upon the GEL team, that these EPIC t-shirts are not ordinary event t-shirts ordered in bulk and are to be used as your oversized pajamas ending up at the bottom of your wardrobe pile, but that we have consulted a professional t-shirt manufacturer that emphasizes on cuttings specific to each gender and each size. Thus, we are looking to providing you with a cut as fitting as possible which would basically be worth the RM30 (or RM25) you pay.

Size chart for this T-shirt is as follows:



Youth sizes are recommended to be between S and M.

There are 2 ways to order your t-shirt:

1. Drop me an e-mail at dosomethingepic@gmail.com
2. SMS me at 017 226 3153

with the following details:

1. Name
2. Contact Number
3. E-mail
4. Gender
5. Size

I will subsequently contact you regarding payment arrangements. Thank you!

Here's what the t-shirt looks like:






Lastly, I'd like to ask for your help if you would be so kind to pass on the word to whoever you think would be interested in buying an EPIC t-shirt. We're printing several hundred pieces and intend to sell at least half of the batch by the time mid-January comes as we would already need to pay for the billed materials.

Please copy and distribute this flyer on to anywhere you'd like. =)

“Where’s the toilet?”

The one question that brought forth the birth of this project when we realised there was none on our casual visit to Kampung Jawa Kerling, KKB. Instead we were required to find a nice spot in the bushes to do our business. This was our first exposure to the marginalised “Orang Asli” (indigenous folk) and their lack of basic amenities.

Project EPIC is our first effort to lend a hand to the Orang Asli in the form of basic amenities and to help give them a new paint job, doors and window panes. It will be held at Kampung Jawa, Kerling, Kuala Kubu Bahru (approximately 1 hour drive from KL) on the 21st and 22nd of January 2009.

This event is open to anyone!

We will be requiring many budding painters, and builders to make this successful. This will be a wonderful opportunity to give what we can, and that would be our time, and youthful strength. In return, we will be guaranteed a fun, interesting and fulfilling experience, and hopefully take back some painting, building and fixing skills which we would be able to reapply in future projects.

We aim to collect Rm6k to help us acquire all the tools necessary. We are also seeking 50 willing pairs of hands who would help us transform this village.

For those who can’t make it for the project but are interested in helping out, do contact us at
