what to do during the weekend?

i get a lot of queries regarding on the topic what do i usually do during the weekend. and basically i have been telling them the same thing, and the answer is "nothing special". activity wise, since moving to riyadh, the weekend activities have been cut down a lot. i seriously miss out on the diving activities during the weekends while in jeddah. at least i only have to figure out what to do on fridays, whereby thursday would be spent the whole day at the beach. riyadh, nothing to do except sleep/watch tv/surf/chat at home during the weekends. shopping complexes here are strict when it comes to its patrons. most of it only allows families to enter during the weekends.so with ann busy now with her bf, its even harder to get a female companion to qualify as a family to enter such malls.


thats why i'm seriously considering taking up photography. might get myself a dSLR camera on this trip back home. at least i can learn / play with it during the weekends. dSLR functionality are very much advanced compared to those point-shoot digital cameras which i have been using all this while. you might never know, might be good enough to become a part time photographer in the future. :)
