A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

A new year is upon us and all of the staff here at My Lombok wish everyone a prosperous and fun-filled 2015! The last year has been one of the best ever for Lombok in terms of tourism exposure with many thousands of people discovering our wonderful way of life for the first time. 2015 promises to be another banner year with yet more tourism growth and several high profile developments in the pipeline. We welcome new international flights later this month to Singapore by AirAsia, perfectly highlighting Lombokâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing status as a holiday hotspot. Nowhere in Lombok is this more evident than on the south coast, and this month we showcase the flourishing scene in Kuta and Selong Blanak. We also kick off the New Year with a look at Lombokâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art scene with local artist Lalu Syaukani, profiling his internationally acclaimed work at his Senggigi studio. We dropped in to Puri Mas resort for a relaxing spa treatment and feature an exclusive photo shoot at the Pool Villa Club in Senggigi. COVER Lost Face by Lalu Syaukani

Whatever the future holds for 2015, you can be sure to hear it first in My Lombok!

This month’s news snippets

AirAsia launching direct Singapore-Lombok flights More international flights are heading to Lombok. Low cost carrier AirAsia will start a direct three times a week service between Singapore and Lombok later this month, building on the island’s growing success as an international leisure destination. The new route will begin on 28 January 2015 using 180-seat Airbus A320 jets. The latest route for AirAsia was announced in December alongside the launch of flights between Singapore and Solo in Java, set to begin a day later. “We are thrilled to launch these routes to provide greater connectivity between Singapore and Indonesia. These routes opening are part of our long-term commitment to promote Indonesian tourism to the world and we hope these new routes will further contribute to the development of tourism and business activities among the three cities,” explained CEO of AirAsia Indonesia, Sunu Widyatmoko.

Lombok’s is leading the way as one of the fastest growing airports in Indonesia this year with a 118% increase in international passenger traffic between January–October 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Lombok has proved to be a major success for AirAsia since launching services in 2012 with just three weekly flights from Kuala Lumpur. Just over two years later that has steadily increased to the current 14 flights a week on the KL–Lombok route. While growing at a rapid rate, international flights make up only a small proportion of all flight movements at the airport so there is plenty of scope for more international airlift. Hong Kong has long been mooted as a possible new service and hopefully direct flights from Australia will resume again in the near future.

from around the region

Meru Restaurant, Chandi Boutique Resort The Chandi Boutique resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meru Restaurant has undergone a fashionable new makeover recently, offering a more expansive space for beachfront dining. Although the interior space has been expanded, it retains a natural aesthetic with an elaborate feature wall decorated with mosaic style strips of wood, brought to life by subtle lighting effects. The laid back ambience and breezy aspect overlooking Batu Layar beach makes this as good a place as any to linger over lunch. The menu continues to innovate with a contemporary mix of Asian fusion, Mediterranean style favourites, tapas style bites to share and classic local dishes. There is a fine choice of international fare on the lunch and dinner menus with many intriguing appetizers alongside classic mains such as roast rack of lamb, duck and perennial favourite beef tenderloin. The new refit at Meru brings good news for all wine lovers. A chilled wine humidor presents a well matched selection of quality European wines to complement the food. There is a meal option to fit every mood at the Meru, from a romantic set menu at the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ws edge or the more convivial BBQ nights on Wednesdays and Saturdays, complete with live acoustic music.

— Hatten Wines Most regular visitors and Lombok expats who have a penchant for divine wine will be familiar with the Hatten Wines name. Established in Bali over 20 years ago, Hatten has been the byword for locally produced quality wines and is arguably the single reason why Indonesia has been making waves in the wine world. There is a growing thirst for locally produced Asian wines, particularly as a match for Indonesia’s spicy cuisine and some of the most influential wine buffs in the industry seem to agree. Hatten has been racking up the accolades in recent times and it has become a serial winner of Bronze and Silver Medal awards at the annual Wine & Spirits Asia Wine Challenge over the past few years. Founder Rai Budarsa was also honoured with the Wine Pioneer Award for Southeast Asia in 2011. The company was recently voted in the top 10 for fastest improving producers in Asia, and remains committed to international standards of quality and taste, while staying faithful to its Indonesian roots. Hatten has been instrumental in bringing quality new wines to the mass market in Indonesia. Due to heavy import duty and a lack of proper distribution, quality wines had only been available to the privileged few with deep enough pockets, but now everyone can imbibe without breaking the bank. There has long been demand in Indonesia for quality wines at affordable prices. Any new product released by Hatten nowadays always brings out a large crowd of eager wine buffs, and the latest product to hit Lombok dinner tables — Dragonfly — was no exception. Dragonfly is a slightly sparkling Moscato made in Indonesia, designed to enjoy socially anywhere and anytime. With a sweet and pleasurable taste and a lower alcohol count, Hatten says it is the perfect tipple for a relaxing night out among friends or a healthy accompaniment to a night of fine food. Veteran winemaker James Kalleske has crafted this new wine for optimal freshness and enjoyment. Pale lemon in colour, it is a palate pleasing combination of fresh fruit bringing out a refreshing spritz and sweetness with an aroma of pineapple, melon and dried peaches. It rises to a clean and crisp finish, emanating a robust fruitiness with a touch of apple, pear and citrus flavours. It is available now in retail wine shops throughout Indonesia, including Lombok.

Two Islands Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio There are two more reasons for wine lovers in Lombok to get excited. The acclaimed Two Islands label has introduced two new wines — a Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio, available now to savour in Lombok. “These two new wines are outstanding in taste and quality” said IB. Rai Budarsa, owner of Hatten Wines and Two Islands brands. “To maintain our position as the market leader in Bali and throughout Indonesia, we must keep a close eye on the wine industry.” After several blind tasting tests, the quality and flavour of the Sauvignon Blanc compared well with renowned wines from Australia, Chile and New Zealand. Winemaker James Kalleske believes the two new wines are poised to make a big impact in Indonesia. The Sauvignon Blanc, he says, is the ideal wine for any occasion, which is light-bodied and aromatic. The Pinot Grigiot in contrast is a spicy mediumbodied white with strong fruity notes and a crisp finish. “Demand for a quality Sauvignon Blanc at an affordable price encouraged us to develop this wine whereas a void in the market here for a Pinot Grigio was something we recognized as leaders in the wine industry,” said Rai Budarsa. “We make it our priority to ensure we outsource the finest grapes from South Australia and to ensure our wine is outstanding in every way,” he added. The Two Islands range of wines are of South Australian origin offering distinctive wine characteristics only found in this region. Grapes are hand-picked from premium wine growing areas, centred on the Adelaide Hills and the Limestone Coast.

HEALTH & LEISURE

PURI MAS SPA EXPERIENCE

y Lombok sent Sri Wayunungsih along to Puri Mas Spa resort this month to enjoy an indulgent treat and sample one of Puri Mas’ luxury award-winning spa treatments…. After a hectic New Year party season it was high time I treated myself to some TLC for my tired skin. Some quality spa time was long overdue after a busy, nonstop 2014 and what better way to kick off a new year? Off I went to Puri Mas for a spot of spa pampering. Puri Mas beach resort is no stranger to a generation of luxury travelers in Lombok, but my appointment was at the nearby Puri Mas Spa resort — Lombok’s only dedicated luxury spa resort, nestling around 2km inland from the beach in the lush environs of Kerandangan. The resort has quickly gained a healthy following of devoted spa fans that demand only the best and now can boast exposure on a global scale. The resort was awarded ‘Best Spa for Couples’ for Asia region at last month’s inaugural Luxury Spa Awards 2015 organized by publishers Condé Nast Johansens. The recognition comes from a combination of online voting, customer response and local destination expert reviews, and Puri Mas stands shoulder to shoulder with other acclaimed category award winners such as the Mulia and Kayumanis in Bali. Now it was time for myself to see what all the fuss is about. On arrival there was time to take a quick peek around the resort prior to my booked spa appointment. A large swimming pool is the main focus of the resort from which winding pathways lead to stretches of lush greenery and manicured lawns. It is an eclectic layout with private nooks and crannies, small water features and ornate pavilions to lounge in.

It is a serene and very natural environment, and it’s definitely worth lingering here after a luxury treatment to soak up the relaxing vibe. I opted for a facial treatment, which featured slow, deliberate strokes to the face and scalp with a nice firmness that soon started showing results. I could sense the elasticity of my usually coarse skin slowly returning with a youthful vitality I’d not felt for a long time. I could feel gentle caresses bringing back that long-lost natural glow to my face. My therapist applied well known organic Babor spa products which were both fragrant and energizing. In fact there is an extensive range of natural products on offer to complement a long list of treatments available. Treatments range from timeless Indonesian ‘mandi lulur,’ aromatherapy massage, soothing body wraps, manicures and more. My treatment was a short one but fully satisfying, and only served to give me a taste for more luxury pampering in the near future. All the resort facilities are made available for day guests to enjoy, from a refreshing dip in the pool, healthy spa cuisine for lunch, yoga and meditation. There is even a collection of art, antiques and collectibles to browse in an on-site gallery. The resort exudes a very serene ambience, particularly as small children are not allowed as day or overnight guests, so after the excesses of New Year, some serious spa pampering at Puri Mas is just what the doctor ordered.

The Beauty and the Beasts of Southern Lombok

ome of Lombokâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most spectacular coastal scenery can be found on the southern shores of the island. To get there is a journey through time, a harmonious integration of legend, tradition and reverence to God, where shirtless old men in checked sarongs still eke out a living from the sea or the dry farmland. Lime-green banana palms, with leaves like tattered banners, border fields of cassava, corn, tobacco, and red hot chilli peppers. Tiny rural villages of simple bamboo houses with grass roofs hide within the coconut groves, and scarred dogs patrol the roadside warungs. Windswept sandy beaches and crescent or bite-shaped bays are secluded and beyond beautiful

with sand reminiscent of soft white sugar, complete with coconut palms and fishing boats. Separated by headlands and awesome rocky outcrops, these glorious beaches are famous for their surf breaks, yet when the tide is out, the bays turn into shallow pools of turquoise water. Along a rutted road to the east of Kuta, a picturesque little village lies on the fringe of Selong Belanak Beach. Instead of detracting from the beauty of the sweeping curve of the bay, the village adds to its charm. Colourful outriggers rock in the gentle waves and the villagers make their living from fishing, especially for squid. Powdery white silica sand

skirts the crystal waters of the gorgeous beach, and with its gentle rolling beach break and sand bottom, the conditions here are perfect for learning to surf. What makes this place so stunning, however, is the scale of the surrounding landscape â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is of continental proportions. The assets have, of course, not gone unnoticed. This is one of Lombokâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prized gems and it is no surprise that the cost of real estate here is rising rapidly. Fortunately, for now, the beach remains unspoilt and tranquil, and the pace is still unhurried.

Fishing is the lifeblood of the small seaside community that lives here. The coral reefs team with fish and large pelagic are known to congregate around the nutrient rich waters. Getting out on the sea is a simple matter of chartering a fishing boat from one of the local fishermen. The area also offers a privileged insight in the daily lives of the local people. You can observe the farmers planting and harvesting tobacco and rice in the fields that extend behind the beach to the base of the hills; or watch the fishermen fixing their boats while their wives prepare barbequed corn on the cob and fish satay created from the catch of the day and served up in the tiny warungs.

Accommodation in the area includes Sempiak Villas and Villa Atas, perched atop Sempiak Hill, which presides over the beach with breathtaking views of the coastline. Below, on the flat, is a cafe called Laut Biru (blue sea), offering a gourmet selection of Asian and Western dishes including some wicked desserts. A small beach club — open to diners at the restaurant — is situated at the water’s edge within the shade of the sea hibiscus trees, complete with hammocks and deck chairs and attendants on call to serve refreshing cold drinks. On a final note, if you hang around Selong Belanak Beach for long enough, you might just be treated to the magnificent sight of a large herd of buffaloes being ushered along the sand from one grazing ground to another by a waywardness of nomadic-looking Sasak cowboys. Welcome to everyday rural life beside the sea. This is one very special ‘Kodak Moment’ that you will never forget.

At Home in Kuta, Lombok Rosalie Dobson

“Then go to Kuta Lombok”, a Dutchman said, listening in on our conversation, and that is how my world was turned upside down. We were sitting in a restaurant in Bali, where I was complaining to my husband about the busy streets, the noise, and how even though I was enjoying the buzz, I wanted (and needed) to find somewhere peaceful to relax, go snorkelling and walk on a deserted beach. “Where is Lombok?”, I asked in ignorance. The next big island about a 25 minute flight from Bali. The major area of development is Sengiggi and the Gili Islands, but Kuta Lombok has it all with white sandy beaches just like Bali 30 years ago but better. He talked of his time there and we were immediately hooked! We booked a flight straight away and the very next day headed to Lombok. Little did we know a five-day stint would be a life-changing experience. When we first came here the airport was a long way from Kuta and the road to get there was appalling. During the journey we saw to our left a structure in the early stages of development. The new international airport the driver excitedly pointed out. At that time the only hotel in Kuta was the Novotel so we booked in and took a walk along the beach in front of the resort. Perfect! The following day we wandered into the township, and we were amazed at the sheer beauty of the beach and so few people around. We immediately thought about having a holiday home here and our midlife crisis began! After a fruitless search for a small plot of land, we did what any couple stuck in a midlife crisis would do. We found a large hill, climbed it with the seller, and after spotting the stunning view, we said, “we will take it”. We bought all nine hectares of it four years ago, and Kuta Heights was born. The next few months were a blur but we started to form a plan and the rest is history. The road was built on the land and some people have plans in the pipeline to start building homes. Kuta is changing more quickly than we imagined, but at a pace that is workable. The government has spent a fortune in the past two years,

building drains and putting in sealed roads. There are still horse and carts on our roads especially on market days but now you also see motorbikes, some pulling trailers, and cars. Investment is pouring in, as are tourists with direct flights from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Bali is only a 25-minute flight away. The natural beauty of Kuta has been discovered and is one of the most inspiring new destinations for tourists. Land values are starting to rise but it is still a bargain compared to Bali prices. The Government assures us the long awaited Mandalika project (Google it) is poised to start so in just a few short years there will be a Club Med, a golf course, Amani Hotel, a marina and other development dotted along the coastline. They have recently completed construction of a Mandalika site office now so it looks like it is gradually becoming a reality. Surfers have long known about the different breaks here and no matter the weather every day there is somewhere to surf either east or west of Kuta Bay. Little boutique hotels, homestays and surfers digs have quickly sprung up priced between $10–$40 AUD a room a night. Some are basic and some very beautiful with swimming pool, air con, fridge, safe, hot and cold running water and breakfast included in the price! There are restaurants or local warungs serving up appetizing meals from as little as $1.20 to $8. The fresh mixed juices are amazing. So far there is no need to book ahead, just arrive and look around and find a spot you are happy with. There is much to see and experience in Kuta. You can kite surf, swim, snorkel, take a diving course or visit a local village. In the evening simply relax with a cocktail or a beer by the ocean or party hard into the night. The people from this area are Sasak and have a rich and unique culture, noted for their handicraft skills. They are now embracing the prosperity that tourism is bringing and the beauty of the children will take your breath away. We came and couldn’t leave. With more international flights soon to launch it looks like the sleeping giant which is Lombok is waking up. We are happy to call Kuta Lombok home and we hope to see you here soon.

CULTURE

THE ARTWORK OF LALU SYAUKANI “I

f I have a problem, I paint and it goes away,” declares artist Lalu Syaukani. “I am inspired by all of my personal feelings and experiences in life; by everything that might permeate my thoughts, by all the good things about love, my love for my parents, social issues, sensitivity towards my environment, the Lombok culture, and humanity. Lalu Syaukani was born and bred in Lombok, as were his parents before him. He decided to become a painter when he was very young. “My desire to become an artist was very strong, but my parents wanted something different for me; they wanted me to become a lawyer or a civil servant. They enrolled me to study at the Pusat Hukum Faculty of Law and I pursued these studies out of respect for my parents but as soon as I finished the course I returned to the world of fine arts.” When you look at Lalu’s contemporary impressionistic artwork, it is hard to believe that he is self-taught and has never had any formal training. Yet, he did everything he could to gain exposure for his art, especially by regularly entering fine art competitions. In 2012, his work was selected for ‘The Major Exhibition of Indonesia Fine Arts: The Manifesto #3,’ a national exhibition of ‘young generation’ artists from all over Indonesia, held by The National Gallery of Indonesia and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism / creative economics in Jakarta. Competitors from seven Indonesian provinces were selected, including Lalu who represented NTB. Lalu’s figurative paintings melt within their frames. Expressionistic and impressionistic, they are haunting and mysterious. The ‘Lost Face’ love and humanity series portrays the faces of the individuals who have been loved by the artist but that were beginning, one by one, to get lost from his memory, such as the faces of his parents. The series ‘Love Like an Angel,’ meanwhile, tells about the love and affection of a woman. “Because,” maintains Lalu, “I believe that the true love of a woman does not have any limits and is without end.”

CULTURE

Working in oil — “By using oil paints, I can transfer my emotions straight onto the canvas. Acrylic paints dry too quickly.” — Lalu describes his creative process: “Every morning I wake up and decide what I’m going to paint that day. I like to paint in the mornings and at night when my children are at school or asleep. I can paint within a small area or a large space, it’s no problem. I think about my feelings and my emotions, and then I take a piece of paper and I start to sketch. I visualise what I am going to paint, and then everything just flows and my idea is created. As soon as I have finished the sketch I will transfer the image onto canvas using oil paints, and because my life is my inspiration I will never run out of ideas.” Lalu’s most recent artwork, entitled ‘Lombok Dream’ tells the story about the community's dream on the island during the current process of economic and social change, which was accelerated with the building of the new Lombok International Airport. Lalu recognises and depicts “The important role of the community, the religious leaders and the government to safeguard Lombok from negative outside influences that could erode the identity of Lombok and the local culture.” Asked what he likes most about his work as an artist, Lalu replies, “Most of all, I like it when the art community appreciates my work and understands the meaning of the messages in my paintings and what I am trying to express – and of course I love it when they purchase my paintings!” His favourite artist is Picasso, and his dream project is to showcase his work in a solo exhibition about “Love and Humanity” and build an art gallery/museum in Praya where he has land. During his career, Lalu Syaukani has exhibited his work at various hotels in Lombok, The Lombok Museum, and Taman Budaya, Jakarta, as well as in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

FOOD

When did you first become interested in food? Early, when I was young. At the age of 15, I worked in restaurants as a waitress and always said to myself ‘one day I will have my own café.’ When I was 31, I opened my own café in Munich. What has been your inspiration for cooking? I like to eat and I am a baker. I love baking, it is a form of meditation for me.

DROPPING IN ON SOLVEIGH MAURICE OF DROP-IN CAFÉ, KUTA

erman-born Solveigh Maurice is a surfer, a baker, and part-owner Drop-In Café, Kuta. She ran her own café in Munich for eight years but, frustrated by the long, 15-hour days, she decided to change her life. Having visited Bali on a surf-camp holiday, Solveigh’s initial plan was to spend six months a year in Bali and six months in Germany but she then made a very quick decision to sell everything, including her café in Munich, and come to Bali fulltime. When she arrived, she was told she didn’t have enough money to open a business in Bali and that she should go to Kuta, Lombok. So she packed her bags and did just that. In Lombok, she met two Swiss girls, Catherine Amberg and Miriyum Balbi, who are both teachers, and they decided to buy some land together and open a café in Kuta. And so the rustic and charming Drop-In Café was born, complete with an innovative, colourful theme, and delicious food. Here, recycled tables rest upon a cool veranda; customers are greeted with big smiles; and the raspberry tarte is to die for.

What made you decide to open a café? I have always wanted to have a café since I was a kid. The reason for me is that there are two sides to having a café. One side is all about making the food, and the other side is all about the decoration of the cafe. So I am able to show my creative ability in both the food and the décor. I don’t like to buy anything new. If I need a shelf I will look in the garden for a random piece of wood, which no one is using, and then I will use that. Tell us about your working life to date? I studied to become a secretary then I became a lighting electrician — doing all the lighting for the films. I then moved to fashion, and while I was working in the fashion industry I continued to work in cafes and restaurants in my spare time. I then started my own café in Munich, which I sold, and in May 2014 I opened my café in Kuta, Lombok, which is my dream of dreams. Tell us about your baking? I always use old recipes, compiled by women from years gone by. New recipes have no love in them, but these old recipes are recipes filled with love. My aunt gave me all her recipes and taught me how to follow a recipe by tasting and feeling. For example, by kneading the dough you can tell what ingredients are missing or what you need more of. What is the one dish you love and remember from your aunt’s kitchen? Potato Salad, which we now serve at the Café.

Tell us about your concept for your menu at Drop-In Café. This is a ‘take it easy café’ not a restaurant. If it was just me I would serve only cakes and sweet things, but we need to serve the savoury as well as the sweet in order to accommodate everyone. We serve sandwiches, hotdogs, pastas and more, but everything that is made here is made with love. It is true home-cooked food. Why did you choose the name? The name Drop-In Café is from the surfing term to ‘drop in.’ I often drop into the water and also chose the name because we are located between Kuta and the surfing spots, so people can just fall in or drop into our café on the way to and from surfing. What is your favourite dish to cook? I love to cook the Raspberry Tarte with white chocolate. What are your favourite ingredients to bake with? Eggs for sure. I also love to cook with chocolate. I love to melt chocolate! What do you love most about having your own cafe? I love to have a big kitchen for making good cakes. I also love to watch our customers eat and take their first bite, and see the expression on their faces. Our customers always leave with a smile. What is the biggest challenge in your job? To find good staff and to get all the ingredients I need. Describe a typical day? I wake up at 6 am and then spend the first half hour having a coffee. I then bake the bread so that it is fresh for the day. At 8 am the staff arrive and we talk about the plans for the day. I then go for a surf. When I get back I make sure the kitchen is clean, talk with the guests and prepare for the next day. We close at 6 pm.

In the high season I will bake as many as 45 cakes in one week. What are your ‘must have’ cooking ingredients? Dark Flour to make bread. What kitchen tool could you not do without? My mixer (I have already been through three since opening the café). Any tips for budding bakers? Don’t trust the recipe, trust your instincts and taste everything that you bake. What is your idea of a great meal or dining experience? Nothing Fancy — I just like a good portion, a good taste and a nice presentation.

When at home, what do you like to eat? And do you ever cook at home? I can’t eat any more cakes, I have eaten and tried too many so I eat the savoury food at the café. On Sundays we have ‘leftover dinner’ day where I get all the leftover ingredients from the week and we cook whatever we can with it. My friends come around and we have dinner together. The café is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so rather than throw the unused ingredients out, we make a dish and eat it together.

What do you like to do in your spare time? Surfing and Pinterest. I also like making a list of everything I need to do, then making another list and another list and another list but never get around to actually doing all the things on my list! I like to read and I like to chill with friends. What do you like most about Lombok and why? The nature and the light. I love the sunrises and the sunsets. And of course I love the waves!

Are you an adventurous eater? Are there any foods you won't eat or even try? I hate vegetables and I will not try anything! If you hadn't opened a cafe, what would you be doing right now? I guess I would be surfing everyday and trying to find some work locally.

SOURSOP

A CURE FOR CANCER? A bold claim, which recently went viral on the Internet, declared that the flesh of the soursop fruit could kill cancer 10,000 times more effectively than chemotherapy drugs. Counterclaims argued that this assertion was a hoax, while statements from experts in the field of cancer research cautioned against using the fruit to treat cancer on the basis that there is no evidence of its safety or efficacy as there havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been any large scale studies on humans. My Lombok looks at the specifics:

lso known as graviola, custard apple, cherimoya, guanabana, and Brazilian paw paw (its scientific name is Annona muricata), soursop comes from a flowering evergreen tree native to the tropical rainforests of Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. The tree reaches a height of eight or nine metres and produces large spiny green fruit that may reach a length of 30 centimetres. The fruit is commonplace in tropical markets, but is rarely found fresh anywhere else. Although the rind is quite bitter, the soursop's creamy white pulp â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with tones of fruit candy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is soft, smooth and sweet, and is used to make fruit drinks, smoothies, sorbets and sherbets. Providing carbohydrate as its major nutrient, it also comprises fibres and indigestible black seeds, and contains amino acids, abundant vitamin C and several B vitamins such as thiamin, riboflavin and niacin, along with calcium, phosphorus and a small amount of iron. Local people in the counties where the soursop grows have used parts of this plant to treat arthritis, depression, rheumatism, and infections from viruses and parasites. The active ingredient is a type of plant compound called annonaceous acetogenins, which is thought to be the phytochemical responsible for its healing properties. The seeds, which have emetic properties, can be used in the treatment of vomiting, while the crushed fresh leaves can be applied on skin eruptions and eczema to promote healing. The juice of the fruit can be taken orally as a remedy for urethritis and liver ailments. A decoction of the young shoots or leaves is regarded as a remedy for gall bladder trouble, as well as inflammation, swollen feet, coughs, diarrhea,

dysentery, fever and indigestion. The root bark is used as an antidote for poisoning and the flowers are believed to alleviate catarrh. While there is no hard and firm evidence to prove that soursop works as a miracle cure for cancer, it is generally agreed that the fruit may slow the spread of cancer or make traditional cancer therapies work better. Some laboratory studies have shown that extracts from the fruit can effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer. And, indeed, a study from 1996 found that cis-annonacin, a compound found in soursop, when tried on colon adenocarcinoma cells, was up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of these cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug. Furthermore, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the soursop tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells; it does not harm healthy cells. The active ingredient in soursop, which is proving to be effective, currently exists on the market under the brand name of Triamazon but licensing of the product is not generally accepted in all countries due to the potential profit loss for pharmaceutical companies. While we can argue the obvious financial implications to the dominant pharmaceutical companies should a more natural and alternative cure for cancer be brought forth, it is still important to realise that many claims are made about alternative cures that may not truly work or work in every case. Additionally, the cancer research experts also warn that it may not be wise to intake large amounts of soursop or its supplements because of linkages between certain chemicals that it contains and movement disorders and nerve changes similar to Parkinsons. So, at the end of the day the verdict is still out as to whether or not soursop is, in fact, effective for curing cancer but with more research on this potentially extraordinary plant, maybe we can find a more natural and healthy way of healing our bodies of this awful disease.

Soursop Smoothie Recipe Ingredients • 1/2 cup soursop pulp • 1 cup milk • 1.5 tsp sugar or 1/4 tsp stevia • 7–8 ice cubes • 1/2 tsp pistachio for garnish

Procedure Cut into half and scoop the pulp out and and remove the seeds. In a blender make a smoothie with all the above ingredients. Pour it in a serving glass and garnish with the pistachios and serve immediately.

Note 1.Grinding the ice cubes with the soursop makes it a perfect chilled smoothie. 2. Soursop is best selected when it is turning lightly yellow and a little soft when pressed outside. 3. Adding nuts is optional however it gives a wonderful nutty texture to the smoothie.

KIES VILLAS KUTA

he big development plans for Kuta are still in the early stages but the area is already attracting a raft of boutique resorts and villas. Many follow a tried and trusted formula of typical tropical style design found throughout Lombok and Bali, yet resorts such as Kies Villas shows there is still room for innovation and creativity. The main focus at Kies is the well-appointed Presidential Private Villa, a haven of rich dĂŠcor and no shortage of modern artistic flair throughout. Accommodating up to four, it has a distinctly contemporary flavour, yet employs a unique style all of its own. The double fronted open entrance leads inside to an expansive, uncluttered open plan lounge with full kitchen, breakfast bar and high ceilings. Spotlights accentuate the warm colour schemes, while well placed modern ethnic art pieces add plenty of character to the space. It is a well laid out space perfect for an intimate social gathering and just steps from the pool. Each of the bedrooms has its own unique characteristics regarding shape, layout and colour scheme, contrasting nicely with well-placed dark wood fixtures Adjacent to the main villa is a row of impressive two storey A-frame lumbung style bungalows adding a more traditional touch to the resort, overlooking an inviting swimming pool. Unlike the typical lumbungs found throughout Lombok, they feature expansive interiors. Another difference is the interior dĂŠcor itself. Warm pastel tones and ingenious lighting effects give off a contemporary yet homely feel. The unique layout offers spacious lounging at ground level and a cosy attic style bedroom leading out to a verandah above.

LUXURY LIVING

They have a very modern, functional feel where natural wood fixtures blend seamlessly with contemporary furnishings. The ground floor bathroom, complete with rain water shower, especially stands out for a mellow mix of colour and thoughtful use of space. There is ample seating and a fully equipped kitchenette in the lounge area offering a cosy spot to enjoy a meal or perhaps sip evening cocktails on the breezy verandah. An intriguing feature of Kies Villas is only apparent once you take a dip. With underwater speakers you can chill to a soundtrack to mellow tunes above and below the water. This being Kuta Lombok, more adventurous pursuits are never far away. Resort staff can organize surf trips, kiteboarding, scuba diving or immersive tours taking in local Sasak culture. It is located in a quiet spot yet close enough for a brisk walk to Kutaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beach, warungs, restaurants and bars.

Hairdressers Without Borders Hairdressers Without Borders (HWB), a nonprofit organisation founded by fashion and beauty professional Esther Nieremeijer, ran their second training programme in Lombok, on the 27th October, 17th November and 1st December 2014. The training programme was delivered to the local people of Lombok, giving them the opportunity to learn a profession motivated and inspired by their own energy and passion. The purpose of the course is not only how to handle hair clippers, scissors and shampoo, but to give the local people the opportunity to learn a new profession and hope for a better future.

ASTROLOGY — JANUARY 2015

horoscopeofthemonth Aries (March 21–April 19) Set your own course for the first month of the New Year. At work, the big boss and the worker bees clash with competing objectives. Avoid office politics, because while you agree with the boss, your work mates will not appreciate your viewpoint. Convince your boss it’s best for you to work on your own for now. Later in the year you can work more closely with colleagues.

Leo (July 23–August 22) The lion is never so happy as when you are the center of attention. This month is all about your abilities and your talents shining bright like the sun. You are called on to bring to fruition a project that eluded the skills of others. The only obstacle to successful completion of the task is the unreliability of a couple of your staff. Make clear at the beginning of the project that you need daily updates on their work!

Taurus (April 20–May 20) Everyone thinks you are doing a great job, except for your boss. Meanwhile, all the effort you’ve put in December and now January is draining your energy. Before you become a nervous wreck, slot some “me” time in your calendar. Your friends and colleagues are more than willing to help you through this hectic time. Let them. You’ll be surprised how much support they are willing to offer.

Virgo (August 23–September 22) As much as you aspire to complete assignments, the people around you seem to be suffering a post holiday haze. Restless and cranky, they grouse about everything that is wrong. Unfortunately, you are included in their list of complaints. Rather than giving the errant colleagues a piece of your mind, let the bosses handle the situation. You’ve got too much work to do anyway, right?

Gemini (May 21–June 20) You are energized and ready to take on the world this month. But are you targeting the correct goals? Gemini doesn’t always focus well on tasks due to your ever-questing mind. It doesn’t help that your boss asks for one thing one minute and another the next. Take a deep breath, and aim your talents for the thing that needs during first, then second, then third. You’ve got this.

Libra (September 23–October 22) Harmony loving Libra doesn’t like to rock the boat. This is why it is so shocking to you that your bosses accuse you of doing just that. You don’t know what’s wrong, and can’t figure out the problem. The current situation has little to do with you and everything to do with the managers trying to figure out what’s wrong. Keep your head down, and do your work. Things will improve shortly.

Cancer (June 21–July 22) A wish to break free and an appetite for more romantic locals fuels a desire to travel. It’s not often that Cancer wants to leave his or her cozy nest. Not that your responsibilities will allow for you to fly free, and this is a source of annoyance. Your boss expects you to cover for the absences of your coworkers while you are left with promises of “maybe later.” Be patient. Your time is coming.

Scorpio (October 23–November 21) The scorpion is often governed by his or her emotions. Since you are so tight-lipped you hide this very well. This month, however, keep the beast on a leash. This means do not over indulge in any drinking, gambling or love affairs. The consequences can be quite severe if you do. Other people can make trouble using your own actions against you. Can you be good, Scorpio? If you can’t be good, at least be careful.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) You wanted fun? Well, this month you can have as much as you like! Not even your friends’ whines about work and the weather bother you. You are set to whisk everyone’s foul post holiday mood away with a party or two. There is nothing wrong with this, but the stars caution you to control your spending. Money comes and goes quickly this month especially as an unexpected expense of two hits. Can you say budget? Capricorn (December 22–January 19) You are caught in the grips of forces you cannot control. This is not an easy realization for Capricorn to make. You are sure you can handle any situation. But right now, you will have the ride the wave of life, with no sure outcome. People you normally rely on are occupied with their own problems. Even if they make promises, you shouldn’t count they’ll come through. However a gentle Pisces can be of assistance. Aquarius (January 20–February 18) This month is an opportunity to make sweeping changes in your life. If you are looking for a job, one may come through. If you are looking for love, a new amour may be around the corner. However, it’s up to you to make things happen. You must apply for those jobs and leave yourself open to a new relationship. Don’t be afraid to display your best assets. People in charge are looking straight at you. Pisces (February 19–March 20) With the planet of action, Mars, in your sign, you have plenty of energy for new projects. That’s good, because your boss has plenty of work for you. People at the top are watching what you can accomplish, so this in no time for slacking. Don’t worry that you aren’t getting enough recognition for your efforts. Soon the planet of money Venus will bring tangible rewards.

This is Lombok! Lombok’s time is here and now, having finally stepped out of Bali’s shadow, showcasing to the world its unique mix of adventure, pristine natural scenery and captivating art and culture. A new airport, international yacht marina and improved roads have made travel to and within Lombok much easier, but it is its untamed natural beauty and traditional charm that captivates. It is an adventure-seeker’s paradise, home to world-class scuba diving, surfing and mountain climbing yet travellers looking for a cosmopolitan beach lifestyle and luxury creature comforts will not be short of options. Experience the best of Lombok with these recommended highlights and hidden gems:

Senggigi and The West Coast Senggigi, just a short drive from the island capital Mataram is Lombok’s premier beach resort, extending along a series of sweeping bays. The main beach strip is fringed by a wide expanse of sand framed nightly by spectacular ocean sunsets. It is a fairly spread out beach town that rarely feels overcrowded yet there is a broad variety of places to stay, eat and socialise. There is a vibrant expat community here with lots of opportunity for sports and leisure, business networking and searching out those hard to find imported goods. Senggigi is the best place to arrange days out and guided trips to other parts of Lombok. The beach road then winds its way north to upmarket Mangsit, dotted with hip boutique hotels and villas among some of west Lombok’s most captivating scenery. In all, the Senggigi area stretches for almost 10 km along the west coast, and away from the main tourist centre, comprises numerous palm fringed beaches dotted with colourful fishing boats.

Gili Islands

The Southwest

A trio of tiny tropical islands off the northwest coast, known simply as ‘the Gilis’ are the goto place for laid-back island life and the simple pleasures of sun, sea and superb scuba diving. Each of these three islands has its own distinctive atmosphere; the smallest is Gili Meno, a peaceful tropical island haven with few distractions other than deserted white sand beaches and a couple of chilled out beach bars. Legendary ‘party island’ Gili Trawangan is largest and most cosmopolitan of the Gili Islands with no shortage of swanky boutique villas, diverse dining and plenty of action after dark. Gili Air, located closest to the Lombok mainland, sits somewhere in the middle of these two extremes and has the most authentic local atmosphere. The enduring appeal of the Gili Islands is the refreshing absence of any motorised transport making for a pleasant alternative to Bali’s congested beach resorts. Scuba diving is still the main draw and it is one of Asia’s top spots to learn the basics and get qualified. For landlubbers, there are few better places to get horizontal on a tropical beach and soak up the unique island vibe.

Lombok’s ruggedly beautiful southwest peninsular is largely unexplored by visitors but is now getting serious recognition with the discovery of superb offshore scuba diving and miles of deserted beaches. The main gateway is Sekotong Bay, located just south of Lombok’s main ferry port Lembar and is the jumping off point for Lombok’s ‘Secret Gilis.’ These small offshore islands feature pristine coral reefs and idyllic tropical beaches for a real castaway experience. Heading south, the coastal road winds its way past tiny fishing communities and secluded bays all the way to the tip of the peninsular where the legendary surf breaks of Bangko Bangko (Desert Point) are found — rated among the best in the world.

Kuta and South Lombok Like its namesake in Bali, Kuta Lombok is synonymous with world-class waves but thankfully without the hassle of 24/7 traffic and infuriating beach hawkers. In fact, Lombok’s south coast surf breaks are more than a match for the best in Bali, and savvy surfers are heading here to enjoy miles of uncrowded, adrenaline-fuelled waves. Kuta, invitingly close to Lombok’s new international airport, is the main tourist hub yet remains a fairly tranquil tropical haven favoured by both surfers and adventurous families. It makes for a great base for exploring the rugged southern coastline dotted with numerous breathtaking beaches. Scenic highlights include up-andcoming Tanjung A’an, Gerupak and isolated Ekas Bay.

Mount Rinjani For an alternative to surf, scuba and sandy beaches, a trek up the immense Rinjani volcano is hard to beat. At over 3,700 meters, this is Indonesia’s second highest volcano and makes for challenging 3–4 day trek but the views are definitely worth all the effort. The mountain dominates much of north Lombok and the caldera alone covers a mind-boggling 50 square kilometres. Most climbers only go as far as the crater rim which offers vertigo-inducing views down into the volcanic lake but the extra effort to get to the summit will be rewarded with views as far as Java and eastwards across to the island of Sumbawa. If this all sounds too arduous for comfort, the mountain’s foothills offer a wealth of leisurely hiking opportunities. Head to Senaru village for easy-going walks through remote weaving villages and dense jungle to uncover a succession of scenic waterfalls.
