Today dad is going to transfer all the stuff I wrote on Google Sites. Also, hopefully I can get all of my missing and overdue diaries all written. Also, I will travel back home soon! I can't WAIT for all the fun stuff! Like pasta and pizza and toys and games and my BED!! In China, I always had to share a bed with grandpa. Now, I can sleep with my own free will!! I will have my own playroom and my own seat on the couch in the game room! Still, I will have to share a bedroom with kyle and and no bunk bed. BOO!
I'm done!
Tomorrow I have my first soccer practice after I came back from China. My coach will probably be super super happy, and so will my teammates. So why worry? 1.I just came back from China, and probably don't remember that much about SOCCER. 2.I maybe forgot something, and they assume I know it.
I guess I have to do some warm ups to get myself ready. LATER I just finished doing 150 toe taps, and 100 everything else. I'm sweaty. And hot. And thirsty. And hungry. Snaaaarrrrf MUNCH muNCH!! Now not. And a little tired. I will fall aslee
Today I went to my first soccer practice after my vacation in China. When I first got there, my soccer memory was kinda back: Like, the feeling of another workout kind of thing. The coach first made us run to the other side and back. Then, we started our warm ups. After the warm ups, we did our activity. You dribble to the green cone, then you follow the blue\orange cones to a hexagon. You put the ball in the hexagon, and run to your teammates and back. Finally, pass back to your teammate, and it repeats. The first round, another team won, then us, three in a row.
Then, It was scrimmage time! There were three colors: blue, yellow, and pink (us). Blue and pink were first. Yellow won, so they stayed on field. We won all of the teams a buncha times, be here's where I could improve:
1.Stay in front of the attacker and ALL TIMES!! Seriously.
2.Don't stick a foot in, because then they'll just get past me.
3.Dribble!! Don't just follow your instincts, try something new!
Today it was the first day of school! My teacher, Mrs. Ryan, is new to our school, we all introduced ourselves. There was a new kid named Kavin, and there's Mrs. Ryan. We first filled out our circle of control worksheets. I wrote eight down. Then, we did an all about myself sheet. I filled all, and then it was lunch. The lunch was Chips, fruit, and sandwiches! The fruit was good. The sandwich was better. The chips were AWESOME! I ate all of them and ate my sandwiches and my fruit. I didn't eat the pineapple because it was SUPER sour. After lunch we did recess. I played soccer! Then was getting our binders out and putting our planners in them. Next, we watched a video titled Just the Way I Am. After another recess, it was pack up and dismissal! YEAH!
Today I am skipping my Diary because I wrote it on the big computer. If you
August 13, 2023
Today My swim teacher timed me on breath stroke and freestyle. I got timed 1 minute 23 seconds for freestyle (I thought it would be better) and 1 minute 38 seconds for breath stroke (BOOO!) . When I was back at America, I raced with mom. She was still slightly faster. NOW, I could go faster than dad!
When I was about to start my time trial, I knew that the front flip would be the hardest part, since I would need to hold my breath for a long time. Still, I did it perfectly! I did a different one for breath stroke. I just grab the wall, and push off! SUPA easy, right? Well, you will have to master the other ones. The front flip took me a few months. But, if the know the flips, you should know the swimming. That’s going to take you a pretty long time to master. Tough luck!
I’m done.
Today I will tell you haw to make a airplane along with a a rocket launcher.
For the airplane, you first make the head oval - ish, and make the wings triangle-shaped. You can choose to make the wings like long-side facing front-left\right, or back-left\right (for cool reasons). Ether way, then you add the tail wing and tail at the back. Then, add spots of green onto your plane. DONE!
NOW, onto the rocket launcher. First, you make 4 circles. Then, you make a rectangle. Next, you add another rectangle on the rectangle you just made. Last, you add two cylinders on the truck. DONE!
Just so you know, credit me, but be alerted that I didn’t actually come up with this idea. My brother’s friend did. And he was obnoxious about poop and pee.
I’M DONE.
Today we went to Kyle’s friend’s house to make play-doh tanks, airplanes, and rocket launchers. They were all epic. I’ll tell you the REAL whole story! Come on!
So, when we first got there, Kyle’s Friend (KF) showed us all his play-doh. We started with making Tanks. Well, you first take a chunk of Play-Doh (PD), and make it into a rectangle. Then, add round circles onto the side of your tank (4 on each side) , and add a skinny snake kind of thing, and wrap it around the wheels. Next, you make another smaller rectangle on the big rectangle, and finally, you add 1-3 cannons on the front with a sniper on top.
We actually haven’t gone through ALL of them, but the next day happened with nothing exciting, so I will write that for that. Also, in China, I was ALWAYS late one dairy. Now, I’m back to normal mode for dairy.
I’m done.
Today I watched war. People fought in battles on TV and at one part, the main character betted that he would kill ten people. He actually killed 20 - ish, and won the bet, but died a hero. He was gave a cigar. Weird story. Also, The point of view turned to American soldiers. They found out that Chinese people were very close by their base, so they launched out an attack with missiles and bombs. I only watched that part. Brah.
Also, I got my own tennis racket today! It was a YONEX one with turquoise lines and a blue smiley face. It also came with a bag you put the racket in, and sling it on your shoulder. Grandpa says Tomorrow I will get my my badminton racket. I hope it is something like green, because it was my favourite colour for 2 years. I might switch someday, like maybe to blue, or orange, or yellow.
I’m done!
Today I beat my record ONCE AGAIN!! You won’t BELIEVE how much I got with breath stroke: from 1 min 15 sec to 1 min 14 sec!? THAT IS JUST SAD. I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED THAT I JUST DIDN’T OVERPOWER MY LAST TIME!!
Now, guess what I got with freestyle. GUESS! From 1 min 9 sec to 1 min 7 sec. BUT. My coach wasn’t happy with my turn and front flip. He said it was too slow. When I told him my old time, he was surprised to see that I beat my time.
Anyway, I’m about to finish this diary and go sneakily play some games. I have to be quick, though. Time is running out, and-Oh, yeah, I have lots of time. I just ate a Magnus popsicle with chocolate coating and ice cream filling. Give it a try! We also just came back from a park. I first walked around in the sand pit. Then, I tried the see-saw. It was all pretty boring, except the fact that I will play games very soon!!! I’m done done done!
TODAY I BEAT MY SWIMMING RECORD BY QUITE A LOT! Yesterday I got my breath stroke time 1 min 38 sec. Now, my score is 1 min 25 sec! YO! My freestyle time yesterday was 1 min 23 sec. Now my score is 1 min 16 sec! Still pretty good! BUT. My teacher told my I have to beat my current record!!! THAT IS ABOUT INSANE! First, he likes to go above and beyond, so I can’t just beat it by 1 second. Second, I DON’ THINK I can improve my score. If I do, then it’s probably by 1, 2, or 3 sec.s. Oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man!!!!! HOW does he expect me to just walk into the swimming pool, and just go beat my record by 30 secs!? x_x
I’m dead.
Okay, I might have to review my stats, because I’m VeRy sure that I will NOT make it.
Bye Bye, pillow, you were a good boy.
I’m done.
Today I just helped my brother win against another chess game. I said in the chat that the other guy was a weirdo and a sucka. Then, I said that the guy was a BOZO! Remember yesterday, when I told you the definition of bozo means a STUPID PERSON or IDIOT? Well, I used the word! Heh heh heh.
Also, tomorrow, I’m planning to go to tennis and badminton. Good news-I’m only, uhh wait a second
37.4 degrees. That is fine! Tomorrow I’m going to be something like 36.7 or 6 or 5. I’m totally in physical condition. Yeah.
Badminton is a lot harder than I thought. You have to be in a certain position, and swing. You can’t just randomly swing and hope that you hi-I’M RUNNING OUT OF BATTERY AND I CAN’T FIND THE CHARGER! I DON’T HAVE TIME!!
I’m do
AIN’T NO THING BUT A CHICKEN WING!! That’s what I would describe my swimming. I swam faster 6 seconds faster in Freestyle!? You are insane!! And, lets see breath stroke…10 seconds?? IMPOSSIBLE!! I told my coach I KNEW I was going to have my breath stroke at most 1 min 20 secs. I got 5 seconds faster! I also told my coach that I would get my freestyle at most 1 min 10 sec. I got 0.73 earlier than 1 min 10 sec!! VERY VERY VERY LUCKY.
Also, me and Kyle learned what to do if a ball is on your right in badminton. You go into a right-foot-knee-bend-with-left-foot behind position. Then, you hold your racket with your palm facing out. After that, swing your racket when the ball is almost to knee-height. Make sure to turn your hand so your palm is facing up. Finally, after you hit the ball, turn your palm facing left, and get your racket above your head. DONE!
I’m TOTALLY done!
Today I just made a deal with Grandma. She told me that every day I get ether Pepsi or Sprite. I used to HATE sprite to the bottom because of the bubbles. Now I LIKE it because of the bubbles! Weird, right? Before, I HATED Pepsi to the bottom because of the taste. It was sweet, but not the kind I like. Now, I like it because of the taste! SUPA weird! Back when I was little, I hated the things I like now with the same reasons. WEIRD!!!
Okay, we went to a place where we saw lots of pictures of a POINTLESS DOLPHIN. I don’t know why-oh, that’s because there are only their kind in China. Anyway, me and Kyle watched a video about that type of animal, and we rode a rocking (it didn’t REALLY rock, but grandma and grandpa said it did) boat. Me and Kyle both pretended to shoot the boats that passed by us. Then, we got ICE CREAM! YUMMY!
I’M DONE!!!
Today we went to underground sea world! Well, first of all you won’t find it in Google maps because I’m 99% sure that it only applies to USA, Canada, Australia, South Korea, and other allies of USA. You know why? BECAUSE- wait. I don’t want any Chinese people to get mad, so I’m going to use … I don’t know. I not going to say it.
The Sea world’s 2 BEST things are:
VR game. It’s a 3D headset where you play games on. The game me and Kyle played was a game where we blasted bugs and rock Maniacs. We also beat up a big fat slimy weird monster. I got second in points!
5D Movie. It’s a movie where you chair went crazy, water squirted you, fans blasted you, and you watched a 3d movie. I know, supa cool! You also get to eat French fries and popcorn! This day is AWESOME!
I’m DONE!
Today me and Kyle were playing a game. When he said to a uppercut, I faked it and did a gut blaster. Then, I thought of following up with a LEFT (I’m a righty!) hook, and that’s when I had my train wreck. <<CRASH>> <<KADOOM>> <<BAM>>
Grandpa smashed me on the butt, and I explained the whole thing. KYLE was actually the first one to get water in my mouth, eyes, and nose a few days ago, while I punched him with my weak hand. Oh, by the way, I coughed and the next day, and had my epic nosebleed. I had to miss 15 minutes of class! I am SO SO SO SO SO MAD!!!!!!!!!! But, on the bright side, I can swim freestyle 50 meters without stoping, with the front flip and and kick. Duh, I can TOTALLY swim 50 meters breath stroke. It is supa easy. I doubt Kyle can even swim 25 meters freestyle. He has the wrong moves, wrong skill, and wrong everything. I’m totally better.
I’m done!
Today I watched a bunch of sports. In the Mens 5000 meters, A CHINESE PERSON WON THE RACE AHEAD OF EVERYONE!
His strategy is that if he runs as fast as he can in the start, he can run a little slower in the end.
We also watched Army stuff. The Chinese army is actually pretty well armed. They are developing a type of drone you can control with your hands. They also are developing a type of robot tank that can shoot and go by itself. Of course, they also have developed very high tech missiles. They can detect their targets, like, super far away. Chinese people also developed tanks that can float on water! China is SO HIGH TECH AND SO SO SO DEVELOPED! I DON’T EVEN THINK AMERICA HAS THOUGHT OF THESE ID-wait. America developed floatable tanks a long time ago, but they didn’t think of Drones which are controlled by hand. LØL
I’m done! (P.S. I’ve got a helicopter toy!)
Today I am writing in spy mode. This feels very good! First, the spaces are huge and comfy. Why should I leave? Well, you’d call me a couch potato. This feels very easy. Oh, if I write like a spy, I need to have a name like a spy. Lets say, hmm...how about Bill?
Oh. Now it’s NOT spy mode. So I can’t have a pen name. I’m back to my old name, Jace Liu. Now, I wonder. What would it be like if I were a spy? Well, I think it would just be me doing secret stuff EVERY DAY! Y’know what? I want to be that type of person, taking risks every day, staying secret in plain sight, learning coding, hacking, sneaking smacking, yeah, all kinds of those Cool Cucumber guys that have high tech sunglasses where you can take though them, and with slick tuxedos with a bowtie and wristwatch communicater.
I’M DONE!
Today I learned how to swim without a kick-board and side-breath on BOTH sides using freestyle. Before, I could only swim freestyle and breath on one side. I think this a GIGANTIC milestone! Before, I could only swim 12.5 meters. Even before that, I could only swim 6.25 meters. Now, I can swim 25 meters freestyle, breath both sides, and without a kick-board.
Today I also watched Chengdu FISU World University Games, Ping-Pong semifinals. There was a TPE guy. The other guy was a China guy. We watched from the 2 round to the 4 round. The China guy totally OUTNUMBERED (my 2nd favorite word) the TPE guy. The score was 1 win (TPE) 0 - 2 wins (CH) We watched to the beginning of the 4th round, but we got a little bit tired and sleepy. So, Grandpa turned off the TV, and we went to sleep. LØL
I’m DONE!
Today me, Grandpa, Grandma, and Kyle went to KFC! We went there and waited for a long time, since everybody likes KFC. Teenagers, Adults, and KIDS! I ordered a fish burger. Kyle ordered a chicken burger. Grandma and Grandpa both ordered burritos of some kind. Anyway, I even got to top it off with PEPSI! You know what the difference between Pepsi and Coca Cola? Coca Cola is more famous, but Pepsi is tastier than Coca Cola.
Today Mom and Dad are coming home from Beijing! Dad went there for a business trip. That business trip is considered a short one. The longest trip he ever had was 2 and a half MONTHS! When he got back, I tried to jump onto his shoulders. I missed. But, today I will try again. HRRRRR . . .
Off I missed again. Oh well. I will get another chance to do so, HOPEFULLY next year. Well, maybe not. LØL
I’m done!
Yesterday Mom left for South Korea, then Japan, then San Fransisco, and then TO HOME! But, I will miss mom. BUT. Mom said that when she or dad doesn’t have to use our new suitcase, I can use it! YIPEE! I’M SO HAPPY! Also, the suitcase is blue, my favorite color! Anyway, the lunch before the time mom left was pretty good! Everyone was there. Me, that guy, and Kyle saw him play a game. He showed us the weird guy called Mr. TOOF, and he was a lot harder than the other bosses. He could TELEPORT A DISTANCE! IT TOOK THE GUY 16 TRIES TO BEAT EM’! That is like the hardest easy mode boss. He also played another game. He always chose the double shot, fire power, and ice power. Then, yeah, he exited out. I think the lunch was pretty cool, all the way to the fact that everything outside was hot. Sun, sidewalk, even WIND! Sigh. I should put that on my worst hot days.
I’m<<SIGH>>done.
Today I got SiCk, and I had to miss out swimming. Good for me, I got to watch TV about soccer, javelin throwing, men’s 5000m, men’s 4x100, ping-pong, and something about throwing a big fat metal ball. Also, I learned a new word: BOZO. I heard from my friend (Tyler, Aiden) that it meant
A STUPID PERSON OR IDIOT! Help. eep. I’m SUPA scared that Mom will scold me. HEEEEEELP!
Anyway, back to reality. I had to drink DISGUSTING MEDICINE THAT WAS SO BITTER THAT JOE MAMA DRANK IT AND PUKED! Yeah, it was THAT bad. Also, it was white and disgusting. It was SO BITTER I had to mix it with water! But that just made it more bitter. Then, I just swallowed it, and it worked. But a little got into my nose. And it was STUCK. Sigh. Oh man. What an AWKWARD day!
I’m done!
TODAY I WENT TO A TOTALLY AWKWARD LUNCH AND DINNER! I DON’T LIKE THIS! I WOULD TOTALLY LIKE A NORMAL DINNER AND LUNCH, BUT I HAVE TO GO WITH MOM AND DAD TO LUNCH AND DINNER THAT I DIDN’T WANT TO GO TO!!! Still, the good part is that we got superb presents! We got a Monkie Kid Lego, and a . . . I don’t know.
Anyway, the lunch was pretty good. I ate a dessert and some asparagus. I also ate a big chunk of beef with lots of black pepper, which made me sneeze. So, lunch wasn’t that good. But The dinner was! I ate a egg tart, and another one. Then, I talked to the 17 year old that drank Whiskey. He knows some American, so I asked some questions to him and he answered very very VERY weird answers. Still, we had fun, and I also earned 11 dollars by taking pictures! LØL
I’m done!
Today Kyle is forced to go swim. Also, he was sick and we only was here for 2 lessons. He probably forgot how to swim. Now, I can swim 25 meters freestyle without stoping, without kick board, and breathing on both sides. Kyle probably only can swim 25 meters freestyle, WITH a kick board, and breathing on ONE SIDE. SOOOUUUU!!!
Grandpa said we could get KFC tomorrow! Oh, how I wish that we could speed up time to get those yummy fried chicken nuggets off the platter with some Coca Cola! I haven’t drank Coca Cola in SO long! I think the last time I drank it was in South Korea, where we ate fried chicken nuggets with BBQ sauce. I just CAN NOT WAIT until tomorrow, where I can eat YUMMY FRIED CHICKEN WITH BBQ SAUCE AND WITH COCA-COLA! I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. ANY. LONGER! Man, I need to chillax my brain, cause I’m gonna <<BOOM>>. LØL
I’m BARELY done. <GASP><PANT>
