Parit taliair
'irrigation canal'
Alkisah,taliair ni membekalkan air ke sawah2 di kawasan ni pada dulu kala.Tanah dah bertukar tangan,tiada lagi sawah bendang.Ikan seperti puyu,sepat,haruan dan keli masih ada.Dulu pernah ada ikan temekung,semilai dan jenis2 kecik tu (peacock kot...)
'This irrigation canal was meant to irrigate the paddy fields in this area a long time before.When the land was bought over, things had changed then.The different fishes in this canal had also diminished.'
Bila air pasang bertepatan 15hb atau 30hb takwim hijrah air akan melempah.
'During high tide in accordance with 15th.or 30th of the Mosleem calendar,this canal will overflow.'
Maka berkebun lah cara 'container gardening'
'Hence container gardening had to be carried out.'

Tak cadang pun nak memancing.Tetiba jumpa sekoq cacing masa dok gali lubang nak tanam tiang penyidai kain.Rezki Allah Taala tetapkan.Alhamdulillah.
'Didn't plan of fishing.Somehow we'd found an earthworm while digging a hole to erect a pole for the clothes-line.Alhamdulillah this was what we got.'
