Hi, this
is yunita’s writing.
Happy New Year!
Hope this year will bring a good fortune for all of us, amiin..
So, how about your New Year party? About sending new year
post card? Eating soba? And the most important is about your new goal?
Yaa, I will discuss a little bit about New Year goal.
Time passes so fast, and finally it just about 6 weeks left
before I came back to Indonesia. In this left time, (I though) all of PARE
student are in hurry. Most of us come to Hokkaido University to finishing our thesis, whether just for
writing, for completing data, or starting the research here. The case for me is
starting and finishing my thesis in Hokkaido University. So,
what’s about your progress???
Let me said, from 1 to 10, maybe I just passed 5 points. Ya,, just a half! What did
you do for the last 5 months? How can I say? Of course I did the experiment, I
did my research. But, not everything in Japan goes smoothly.
Research is about solving, discovering or finding the answer
for some problem. My “thesis” problem is about finding new method for making
tempe that having good health benefit. Actually I started my research before I
come to Japan. I made my own tempe in Indonesia, and dried it so I can bring it
to Japan. After arriving in Japan, I started to do the experiment in my
laboratory, trying to do the extraction of my tempe and then test my tempe extract
in some assay to find the most impressive health benefit.
But, the way didn’t work smoothly. Some problem occurred in
the process, such as failed to growth the cell, failed to extracts the lipid,
failed in coloring lipid, failed to filter, and now failed to get the spectrum
in HPLC.

Hahaha,, in somehow, I just want to cry but also want to
laugh at myself. But, I don’t have any time for regret. The edge of the runway
has been seen. Just smile and keep moving forward. These are the only ways to
solve the research problem, so you can solve your thesis problem. Yup, this is my New Year goal, to solve my
reserach probelm and solving the “hidden problem”. Hope I can finish and do my
best for my thesis here and come back safely tin Indonesia, continue some
experiment, writing thesis, seminar, and finally I will graduate on August 2015

Ganbarimashou!!
