Everyone needs an escape—something that helps them unwind, reset, and have fun. For me, that escape comes from three main things: going to the gym, playing video games, and watching NBA games. These hobbies aren’t just ways to pass the time; they bring me excitement, challenge, and a sense of achievement in different ways.
Staying Active: My Gym Routine
One of my favorite ways to stay energized is by hitting the gym. There’s something about lifting weights, pushing through a tough workout, and seeing progress over time that keeps me motivated. It’s not just about physical fitness; it’s also about the mental clarity that comes with it. No matter how stressful the day is, a solid workout helps me reset and feel accomplished.

Gaming: Strategy, Fun, and Competition
I’ve always enjoyed playing video games, but recently, I’ve been hooked on Teamfight Tactics (TFT). It’s a strategy-based game where you build and position teams to outplay opponents. The mix of luck, planning, and adaptability makes every match feel different, and I love the challenge of improving my decision-making skills. Whether I win or lose, I always learn something new—and that’s what keeps me coming back for more.
Basketball & the Denver Nuggets
Basketball has always been one of my favorite sports to watch, and lately, I’ve been following the Denver Nuggets closely. Their teamwork, skill, and dominance on the court make every game exciting. Nikola Jokić has been an absolute powerhouse, and watching him play is nothing short of inspiring. Whether it’s a regular season matchup or a high-stakes playoff game, there’s nothing like the thrill of an intense NBA battle.
Nice post Ming Yeh!
I also love watching Jokic play on the Nuggets. Have there been any other teams you’ve been rooting for in the past years? I grew up in Oakland, CA so I was raised a Warriors fan. It was fun growing up going to basketball games. I am sad that they moved to San Francisco.
Interesting hobbies! Gaming is definitely a great escape and to wind down at the end of the day.
