Posting at KotraPharma-Week 1

Wow...since chop suey, i've been THAT busy huh:)
oh well...exams and all keep me away for a while. but i guess i'm back for the time being.

What the..KOTRAPHARMA?? What's that?
Hmm...glad u asked. i'm currently doing my industrial training in one of the most on-going local pharmaceutical factory (generic stuff, malaysia....what do u expect? hehehe)

AAAnnyyywayyyy....i'm been pretty busy lately with a lot of stuff. since my exams a few weeks back, i stayed in school for about one extra week to settle my literature search and homework.

Then Kak Sara got engaged! Wow...can't believe it! she's engaged to her friend Justin, coursemate in UIA...very nice guy..islamic laa...hehehe. sometimes i think is there actually any guys out there yg macam tu lagi? I hope one is waiting for me :) [not forgetting he's got to be a syed]

The Saffiyyah got married. Saf..the person who started calling me Kak Pah...yerp..that's the girl. she tied the knot on the same day kak sara got engaged. jadi i x dapat pergi...too bad though, really wished i could be there.

Next stop...Melaka.

Came here exactly 1 day after kak sara's engagement (oh yeah...same day ayu cousin got engaged, a day after kak sara's). i'm currently staying at aunty Eman's house (lovely) for the next 6 weeks practical.

i'm now in the R&D department. currently, i'm doing a tablet formulation for a drug (can't tell u what it is, confidential...sorry). but its cool. nabilah and baiti are also doing the same thing, except they're in QC (ermm...more on to Dr. Helal stuff.)

anyway, i'm currently working with Miss Chiew (one of the best person alive...helped me a bunch), Mis Maz, Mr. Abdul Rahman (he's the boss), Kak Rahimah, Kak Maziah, and Mr. Tan.They're heaven sent actually. nice people to be with...secrets to be remain in the forgot already memory:)

Nabilah and
but the workload is pretty hectic. i've got to work for 8 to 6.15 every weekday. except for the fact that most of the time i'm only out by 6.45 or 7. too much work. i mean...to find a formulation is not that easy. Most of the reference i use is basically from the internet and books available around here. most of the basic formulations i found in the internet are very helpful in preparing the dosage forms. References which i currently use during this trials are

1. Generic drug formulations
2. Handbook of pharmaceutical excipients
3. theory and practice of industrial pharmacy
4. guidelines for stability studies/testing of drug products
5. http://www.drugdeliverytech.com
6. Pharmaceutical Experimental Design
7. www.comp.rgu.ac.uk/staff/smc/kbs/kacbd/tablet_formulation.html)

these are someof the websies laa...will inform more

but one thing for sure...i'm loving it!


ok...next time sambung lagi :)
