I am writing a story about my Clash Of Clans journey. It is one that is worth mentioning. Even now I think, it is breathtaking how I have gone this far in this game. It is not easy and I will not give up until I reach my goal, which is to become a maxed out Town Hall 10 player. It is not easy because I am not even a maxed out Town Hall 8 yet. I am close to max out every single one of my defenses. I am going to watch fireworks tomorrow. I am not really interested but I should go because of my dad. I am still planning on which location is the best for my family because I do not want to go to too over crowded places or places where there are barely anyone around. I have five or six available locations, now I just have to see what the others think. I am also working on going to pick blueberries because my cousin cannot go today so we have to change our schedule. I am planning on going on Wednesday or Thursday next week. Perimeter

I am finished the Exponents chapter today. I understand the context of the chapter but I am still a bit struggle with some of the complicated questions. I think I need some time before I am completely comfortable with working with Exponents. I also need some one to explain the rules of Exponents to me, because sometimes the videos are confusing. I have a written instruction of how to use Dragons and Balloons in Clash Of Clans. This instruction is made for Town Hall 8 players because this strategy is maining being used by Town Hall 8 players. It is a strategy that can have a garanteed one star on any Town Hall 8 base. I will post the instructions onto my Blogger in the next few days. I think the next time that I go to Richmond Library, I should check out two books of the Mortal Instrument series at once. I am reading them so fast that I finished one of them in two days.

I have finished the book of The Rule of Three. In the book, the whole world have been hit by a desease that shuts down everything that is controlled by computers. A boy named Adam and his neighbors have come together and try to survive. They have to generate their own electrity, and they have to find their own way of collecting water. They need to grow their own food, too. They have been attacked by other people who are trying to take their resources. It is a civilization break down. I hope in reality, those things will not happen. Even if it does happen, I hope the people here are not as ruthless and dangerous as the book have described. I am planning on going to pick blueberries with my family on Friday. Computing with Scientific Notations

Mom is coming back soon, with my new LeBron Zoom Soldier IX. I cannot wait. I hope that mom buys the right size because LeBron shoes have a very little space inside although it looks big on the outside. I am upgrading my Hog Riders to level 2, while upgrading my Dark Barracks to level 4 to get Golems. Golems are pure tanks. They are not like Pekkas who can do a lot of damage and have a lot of health. Golems go for defenses, but they can only do very little damage at once. They have tons of health, almost twice as much as the Pekkas. It is the troop with the second most health in Clash of Clans. After I get my Golems, I can use the Go Wipe strategy with Pekkas, Golems and Wizards. It is a very useful strategy, but not comparable to my dragons and balloons strategy. I am almost finish the book of The Rule Of Three. It is a very good book, and I suggest teenagers to read it. Orders of Magnitude

I am farming in Clash of Clans right now because I need to earn a large amount of Elixirs to upgrade all of my troops, barracks, dark barracks and I need to get Dark Spell Factory. After I get all of those, I will be able to hold on for quite a while. I need gold to upgrade my archer towers and cannons, too because all of my archer towers and cannons are one level away from reaching their max level. After I max out every single defense and troop, I will upgrade my walls. For me, walls are not as important as defense buildings. Although the walls can slow the ground melee units from attacking my clan, but it is quite useless with it comes to air and range units. Walls are useless during a dragons, balloons, minions, hell hounds, and hog riders attack. For range units such as wizards, archers, and witches, the walls only slow them down when they destroy buildings that are protected by walls and try to move through the village. When it comes to wall breakers, walls are quite useless too. ...

I have gotten quite familiar with iOS 8.4 now. My old iPod used to have iOS 6, and it is really old. IOS 6 disabled me from using a lot of the apps that I want to use such as NBA and Vine. I am still getting use to having a phone, and it is quite easy. I just treat it like an iPod but with the calling option. I am half way through the book of City of Glass and yet today is my seocnd day reading it. I love the Mortal Instrument series. It is one of my favorite book series. Other than this serie of books, I like the Assassin's Creed books. In Clash of Clans, my cousin and I are the only ones that are able to attack our rivals. The other players have good troops but they just do not know how to use them. I am teaching my friends to attack with their troops, and make it good. My main attacking strategy is dragon funneling. Also, my cousin promised me for every section that I have complete in Khan Academy, he will play wit me for ten minutes. Right now at this stage, he owns me 17...

YES! I got my new phone today. I am so happy and excited. This is my first phone, and it will last a long time before I get my next one. I still think that it is a dream.  I have slowed down the pace of my Khan Academy. I need to slowly understand the Exponents Chapter because I do not quite get some of the things. It is the first chapter that I have some difficulty with. I have never been good with exponent questions. That is why I want to get right to Exponents and skip the other two chapters. I hope after I watch the whole chapter, it will be easier for me to understand Exponents. I cannot wait to find out the truth about Clary and Jace in the book of City of Glass. It is one of the books that I am looking forward to read in the series. Exponents Properties

I'm getting my new phone tomorrow. Yes!! I watched the newestr dragon ball movie that came out this month. It was called the Revive of Freeza where a guy from Freeza's army made a wish of reviving him. After he was revived, he was stronger and had a powerful form. Although he was stronger, Goku and Vegeta were more beyond. They had both reached not only Super Saiyan God, but Super Saiyan God two. It was very incredible. I tried to make my headphones work on my computer, but it just did not go the way I expected it to. It did not work because my computer could not detect it and only its bluetooth connection work on my iPod. It became quite handy for me. I loved it. The cube root

In two more days I will get my new phone. I want an iPhone 5c because it is not as boxy as iPhone 5 or 5s, and it is all I need. I just need a new apple product so that I can check out more stuff. My iPod right now is being an idiot and it sucks. Its battery needs to be switched. Its system is too old and it barely hold any games other than Clash of Clans. I am half way through of the book that I am currently reading. It talks about a high school boy experiencing one of the worst disasters of all time. None of the things that are controlled by computers are working. There are no power because the electricity is being controlled by computers. There are no water because the pipelines are controlled by computers. None of the cars that have a computer system in them are working. Only the precomputer things are working. He is trying to live in that enviroment. This book makes me think of Fallout where the world is polluted by nuclear radiation. The Square Root

I did not know why but dad was always unhappy about me coming home late from basketball. By late I meant like five or six minutes. It was the time that I spent on walking back from my friend Huy's house. It was just stupid how dad counted like every single second and wanted me to spend those time on reading. I was like wtf was that. That was just stupid. Playing LOL and practicing basketball are both part of my daily routine. I go to basketball at 3:30 P.M with my friends, and play LOL with them at 8:30 P.M at night. I spend my morning reading, noon doing math, afternoon basketball, blogger at night and also LOL. I am sticking to the routine until this boring summer break is over. This is the first time in my life that I find summer break so boring. I cannot go back to China just yet, and I have barely anywhere to go. All I can do is basketball, gaming, study, read, shopping and buying groceries. This is as boring as hell.

YES! Last night my mom bought me LeBron Zoom Soldier IX. I told her to check out Lebron VIII Soldier for me, but I thought that the sails man in China tricked her and introduced Lebron Zoom Soldier IX to her. Anyways they look better than LeBron VIII Soldier. Thank you very much mom! I liked the way LeBron Zoom Soldier IX looked. I hoped that they were not really heavy. I always wanted LeBron shoes, and my dreams had come true. Also I am back with using Wukong in League of Legends. I have bought him like three days ago when have earned enough Infuence Points to buy him. I have saved up for a long time for Wukong. He is very easy to control and he can do a lot of damage to single units. Wukong is not very good at fighting more than one person, but he sure is very powerful when it comes to fighting one opponent. I am sure that my long range shots are good. I just need to get the feeling and the little hop to get it perfect. I wish that my handles can get better soon. I have complet...

I started the clan war yesteryday, and our clan was doing not a bad job at attacking. I used one of my attacks a moment ago on the third player on the opponent team, destroyed him/her with my traditonal dragon attack. It was quite easy and was quicker than I thought. The dragons went were I wanted them to go because I knew how to funnel. At last I used my barbarian king as a distraction so that the wizard tower and hidden teslas would not attack the two of my poor dragons who only had a very little healthy left. I used my rage spells to help my dragons to wipe out the air defenses, which was the biggest weakness of dragon attacks. For dragon attacks, the purpose was to take out most of the air defenses first. Also, at the start of the attack, two dragons was needed for clearing out the distraction buildings such a collectors, camps or baracks on the side. Dragons were stronger when they were all together. It was what a player wanted when he/she was doing a dragon attack. Dragons were n...

I did not practice today because Huy had a guest over. Huy's guests were grumpy and did not allow us to play basketball at his net at all. I hated those people. They treated that place as their property. Huy gave us permission to use his net, and even when guests came over. He specifically told me that I could play there whenever I wanted to. He said whenever I wanted to, that meant even when he had guests over. He told me yesterday that I could play at his net too, but his guests were just kicking us out. Now a days we used one word to describe them-sassy. I had a lot of fun in the past few days. Thank you, Tommy and Sajeeve who helped me with my basketball training. Dividing Fractions

I finished the book of City of Glass. It was not bad. I only liked the fighting scenes though, because the storyline of the second book was really bad. The relationships between most of the characters were messed up too because the bad guy messed it up. The story was about a girl named Clary who lived with her mom who was a shadowhunter. Shadowhunters were gifted with powers that allowed them to kill the downworlders, such as vampires, wereworlves, faeries and other creature that only existed in stories. Clary's mom was kidnapped and that was when Clary became a shadowhunter. She met Jace, who she fell in love with, but she believed that Jace was her brother after she was tricked by her father Valentine. Clary also met new friends, Isabella and her brother Alec. All of them were shadowhunters. I would not give further details of the book because that would be count as spoiling and when people who wanted to read the series did not read the series read my blog. They would not be happ...

Sometimes I wish I am stronger, taller and more brave. I am a fearless, emotionless person when it comes to basketball. I am a strong, responsible person when it comes to my friends. I am a careless, negative person when it comes to school, but I am really weak when it comes to spiders. It is one of my biggest fear. I do not tell a lot of people about this but I think it will help the others to understand me. Everyone have something that they are afraid of, and mine is spider. I have done my training for three days. I think it works and my dribbling and shooting have become better. Soon I will be strong enough to beat my sensei Thanasi and become the best in the whole school. Mixed number addition and Subtraction

I might not be able to finish the book of City of Ashes by tomorrow. I am currently at page 246 and I still have a long way to go. I will try my best to read as much as I can in the next little while and in the next day or two. I am not even close to completing the math work book that I borrowed from the library. I am only in the third section in the first chapter, maybe I should hurry up a bit. Most of the book is quite easy for me. The exponent part is one of the chapters that I have to spend some time on. I love geometry, because I like shapes. It is a lame reason for liking geometry but it is my reason. I found a tennis ball when I was practicing basketball. I can use it by letting one of my friend pass the tennis ball to me while I am dribbling with one hand and catching with the other. I have to practice that until I can get my handles to a great level first, then I am ready to learn other moves and strategies. I have not played badminton for a long time, or swimming. Mix...

From now on I am going to play basketball in the afternoon because that way I get to sleep earlier and I do not have to worry about annoying children distrubing my practice. Although I do not have Tommy to assist me, I can still do my training process. I am making a plan of my basketball training time and course. I am planning on going over to Huy's house at 3:30p.m for odd days, and 7:30p.m for even days. It is fair for me because I do not want to disappiont Tommy and my friends and that way I can get enough practice to prepare myself for NBA. They are trying to get me to play with them twice now. Sageev and Leo just asks me to go and play about five minutes ago. I am almost done another one or two sections in Khan Academy. Multiplying fractions word problems

I just got back from basketball. I did not practice the way my cousin told me to, instead I stayed over for a long period of time. I practiced rebounding for an hour with Tommy because he was good at it too. I should start practicing the way my cousin told me to, spent the first half an hour on physical exercise to drain my energy completely, and the next half an hour on practicing shots, and other skills without changing the form of it. When basketball players were tired they would change the form of their skills such as shooting in a odd way. My goal was to stop that. I needed to keep my movements the way it was when we started the game. I did both of those and I was doing fine. My cousin also told me to come back to my house right after that hour so that I could do more physical training at my house. I did not do that. I spent another hour or two practicing shooting and rebounding with Tommy. YES! I am upgrading my balloons to level five. After that I would have to upgrade my heal...

God I hate John Wang! He starts Clan War too often that I do not even have time to earn my elixirs back after a three star dragon attack. Dragons cost a lot of exlixirs because they are very powerful. My dragons cost more than my PEKKAs becuase they are level three. My dragons are my strongest troops right now and they are my favorite. First is because they are air units so most of the defenses, traps and troops cannot attack them. They do not have to worry about walls either. All I have to do is create a path for them and they will beat the hell out of most of the town hall eight players. John Wang starts a war whenever the last one is finished. He does not give us any time to upgrade or anything. Such a ruthless leader. I always want to leave that clan, but I do not know a better clan to go to. I also watched a lot of videos in the past few days on Khan Academy. I am afraid that I cannot list them all. Also, the math book that I borrowed from the Richmond Library is not bad. I li...

Today when I went to play basketball. I played with a neighbour named Tommy. He played basketball since middle school. He was going to graduate high school. He told me things about basketball and what I needed to do. He descibed a lot of things that I needed to do if I wanted to play in a professional team. It was good to have someone advice me. He was good at basketball too, so I played him everyday to improve my skills. We spent half an hour to an hour talking about what a NBA player needed to do before he joined NBA. Thanks for his advices. Adding and subtracting decimals percentages and fractions

YES! Finally, my dragons are level three. I cannot wait to use them in war. I also start to upgrade my healing spells into level four. After that I need to upgrade my balloons then I will be set for a while. I find dragons better than hog riders although hog riders go for defenses. Dragons are stronger, and does more damage. Although they are slow, and there can be only a few of them, they can attack both land and air which is what is good about them. There are more traps on land than in the air, and there are not as many defenses that can attack the air. One dragon can wipe out a whole army of hog riders. I am starting to read the City of Ashes. I hear that it is the worst book in the series, but I am still going to read it. Moving the decimal to multiply and divide by 10

I am trying to level up my balloons to level six so that I can get the best of my dragon attacks. I need to funnel with the barbarian king and 1 dragon. Let the dragons take out one or two air defenses, and let the other ones target my dragons. Then I send my balloons to take out the air defenses that are left. I will use my rage spells and healing spell right before my dragons reach the first air defense. After that, I will use my second one on my balloons to make them go faster and does more damage. With level three dragons, level six balloons, level five rage and healing spells, this strategy with work on any town hall eight and it will be easy to get a three star. Dragons are one of most Clash of Clans players' favorite troop, and they really powerful when they have rage spells to assist them. If they have balloons behind them to take out the air defenses follow by a healing spell that heals the dragons when they are being attacked, they will be undefeatable. There is a new lev...

I might need to slow down a bit in the Khan Academy because I am rushing and I am having a hard time catching up with the pace. I am not going too fast and I have not complete my quizes yet since I am going too fast. There are only one video left before I finish the decimal unit. After I am done that, we can play 2 or 3 games of League of Legends. I played with Leo for most of my day. I had not play with him in such a long time. It was fun. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/decimals-pre-alg/dec-rounding-estimation-pre-alg/v/rounding-decimals

Oh my god. Leo is here. He is finally here with his family. I have waited for his arrival for a whole year. A week ago, they have left their house in Prince Edward Island and drove across the whole country like my family did and comes to Langley. They have arrived at around 7:30 P.M tonight. When I walk past their house today I have seen their car and Leo just opened the garage door and sees me. We greed each other with a bro hug since we have not seen each other in such a long time. I am glad. I also meet his new family member his little brother. I am happy to see his family. Percent Word Problems

I do not know what I should do now. I just have a nose bleed and I do not feel good because I have this huge piece of paper towel in my nose. I do not know why but in the past 13 years in my life, my nose is weak. I mean really weak. When I just lightly pick it, blood might come out in like no time. Or when I blow my nose, just like what have happened a minute ago, blood just spill right out. I have lived my last two years perfectly fine without the weak nose. Now it is happening all over again. I guess I have to live with my weak nose, because it is part of my body too. I really want to know how to do cross overs and 360 spins to improve my offense. I will have many failures and I know that. Not everything can be learned in one try, especially not basketball moves. My offense might be stronger now since my ball handling is better than I have been before. I guess practice a lot does help me. I think I am improving at a slow speed right now. I need a coach or something like that. Fo...

I tried the dragon attack strategy in the clan war but my iPod ran out of battery in the middle of the attack right after I rushed to drop my spells, but I still failed. I started a new war, prepared.. I was going to try the funneling strategy with dragons and balloons to take out the extra air defence. Soon I would be good with dragons. My mid range jump shots are going to be one of the team's power. I learned how to ankle break people by dribbling left and right to fake them out. After I fake them out I will do my jump shot. It was basically my main way of scoring. I could also do my backwards layup, which have an eighty percent chance of scoring since I practiced that move so much. As always, good night.

I am learning how to attack with dragons and hog riders in clash of clans, because I find my attacks quite stupid and I just spam everything. It is not really good. I watch videos on YouTube to learn about how to attack with all hog riders, all dragons or all pekkas. I find using pekkas and healers a good combination. The pekkas just destroys everything while the healers heal them. If nessacery I can use some wall breakers to open up the path for the pekkas to enter the base. For dragons, I use like 10 hog riders to take out one or two air defenses then I started to destroy everything with my dragons and rage spells. Also, I designed my base so that the troops can be drifted off to the sides or where my strong defenses are. I need to become a better clasher. I saw a guy with a basketball coach today. He was about high school age. As soon as I reached his age I would get a coach, or maybe even earlier. I wanted to find out about where I could find coaches, but I did not have time. D...

Today was not so fun for me. I had to read the Mortal Instrument: City of Bones for the whole day. The book was good and I liked it, but I did not like spending my whole day sitting in a chair reading one book. I rather went shopping with my dad, which I found better than reading. I could sit there and read was all because of the book. It was quite interesting and I wanted to read it all along. The book was so different from the movie. It was way more detailed than the movie. The director was probably like" Nope, I ain't adding that scene into the movie!" Then, "that scene" turned out to be 300 pages of the book. That was probably why the second movie was not coming out. My jump shots from a certain spot is 75 percent now. It is a new record. I will become the MVP because of my jump shots next year.

In order to be good at basketball and become professional, the player needs a lot of practice. I practiced in the morning and at night. I still do not think that it is enough. I need to work on breaking my stamina limit, get stronger, and faster. I have been working on my ball control because I find my handles not that good. My left hand is pretty good right now. Also, I am learning how to do that Allen Iverson crossover, to improve my offense. I find my defense one of the strongest in the grade, but my offense is pretty weak. My offense is good enough to defeat most of the grade seven players at my school, but it is still not good enough. My field goal percentage is about fifty percent, it is not very impressive, and that is why I am working on my shooting, too. I checked out two books from the Richmond library today, The Mortal Instrument: City of Bones and Lord of the Ring: Fellowship of the Rings. I had always wanted to read the Mortal Instrument series, but did not know where to...

My Khan Academy is weird. Only the videos that are on Youtube works, but even if they work, they shows that I only complete half of the progress after I watch the whole video and does not skip any scene. Oh wait no never mind. It works, it is just that I have to watch the videos on the same tab, or else it will not load my progress properly. I finished the book of The Final Four. It is quite boring, but the way that the author wrote it was quite interesting. He started a chapter by writing about the player's thoughts and movements that was happening in the game. After he done that, he wrote a story about the player's past or he switch to the news report. The reporters were describing the current scene in the game. It was awesome to learn how to describe a game the professional way. Nothing really happened in the past few days.
