Simian line

I am odd at birth. Different from the rest of my family members, even my relatives. The most obvious is that I have curly hair. And I mean, really curly, like maggie-mee curly. When I had long hair, I either have to tie them down for most of the times or I have to use hair straighteners quite frequently. Otherwise my hair will look like David Arumugam from The Alleycats. Terima kasseehhh!


One day I showed my left palm to a doctor and he noticed that I have a straight line across my hand instead what you normally have. You know, when I was a kid, my teacher will told us kids in the class that the markings on both palms resemble the arabic numerical digits : IV & IΛ which equals to the 99 names of Allah. I don't have that. Instead I have a straight line across my left palm in which, combining with some obscure lines making it seems like the symbol Λ or 8. So my palms read out 8 + 18 = 26. And my mates would then looked at me and said "Dude!".

(This is not my hand, I can't be bothered to scan my own palm)

He jokingly told me that mostly people with down-syndrome has these kind or markings. It's a distinct feature, apparently. So what? I'm supposed to be a retard now? Maybe I was supposed to be like that Dustin Hoffman guy in the film Rain Man. Superb at calculations but dumb at everything.


Apparently I have what they called as Simian Line or Simian Crease. Simian because primates like chimpanzees or monkeys has those distinct lines too. These are some excerptions from Google about people with Simian Line :


As the simian line is a combination of the head and heart lines, it is the frequent assumption of chierologists, dermatoglyphics experts, and palmists that the simian line performs the functions associated with both lines. That is, the bearer finds it difficult to separate emotions and what is desired (the heart line) from intellect and what is thought (the head line). They believe the simian line gives the ability to focus on one thing, absolutely, to the exclusion of all else. It is believed that these people generally achieve and accomplish far more than most, developing techniques and inventions that will last for generations. They also supposedly experience far more misfortune than most, usually due to the same intensity that drives them. The ambition for success in business endeavors will be strong, as will be the tendency to shut out all else in pursuit of these ambitions. People with simian lines are seen as being complex, forceful, goal-oriented, and egocentric.


Okay, some are true, but not fully. Personally, I think it's a bunch of horse-shit. I believe in Qada' & Qadar. Although, sometimes on a personal level, I have a few questions I really want to ask God about a few things happening that I really can't add-up. I can make up my own answers though, but in my twisted mind, I can really give really interesting and mind-bending answers that would really shaken my aqidah instead. And I really don't want to do that.

A bald girl once told me that I have lots of potentials. Man, I really hated that bald girl. Actually she is not that bald but her forehead, man, a helicopter can land on that thing. She's kinda cute though, but she irritates the crap out of me. She's supposed to be this intellectual person but my God she is so stupid when it involves other human beings.

Potentials. What the crap is that supposed to mean?
