Hi Nichlas, qī tā tiān = the rest of the days, however “the other day = bié de tiān”

As for the sentence, it’s correct, but I would suggest you to make it more specific, like change to Friday or a specific day, because Chinese is very specific

suǒ yǒu de = all of, for example,

wǒ xǐ huān suǒ yǒu de yùn dòng = I like all the sports

jīn cǎi = wonderful/ excellent, it is often used to describe a match or a performance or a speech

Cheers1
