On April 2016, I bought my first Moleskine from Taobao
because I prefer to record weekly planner in a book for a year (Moleskine) rather
than 2 books for a year (Midori Traveler’s Notebook). This also my first times purchase
in Taobao by myself and it is very easy but postage quite expensive.
Moleskine S.p.A isan Italian manufacturer of luxury
notebooks and other paper products, founded in 1997 by the Italian designer
Maria Sebregondi in Milan, Italy. Moleskine production also includes planners,
diaries, sketchbooks and since 2011, leather goods such as backpacks, wallets
and various accessories and stationery.
The Snoopy Moleskine is nice and quality is good. Inside of
Moleskine can see some comic of snoopy.
Same as other planners, it also has calendar and weekly
planner. It also included a Snoopy sticker.
At the back of planner has a small pocket which can put some small items inside.
I started to use it and hopes I can continues use it until
end of the planner. It is great to record your life in short.

After few days I received my adoption pack which has a panda keychain, eco-friendly bag, door hanger and fact sheet on Panda.
Through the info card on panda, I just knew that The Giant Panda has been the symbol of WWF since organization was created in 1961.
Through the fact sheet, I found out some interesting facts.
* The giant panda’s Latin name is Ailuropoda melanoleuca.
* The average giant panda can eat up to 38 kilograms of bamboo in a day.
* The panda does not hibernate because it cannot store enough fat on a bamboo diet.

Besides that, I received receipt for payment with thank you letter. For your information that donation to WWF Malaysia are tax-deductible.
