Two words that I kept running into in the past few days ...
1. Gargantuan = very large, huge, big, collossal, elephantine, giant, gigantic, humongous, mammoth, massive, monumental, titanic, towering, monstrous, mountainous, vast (extracted from Collin Thesaurus)
(earlier, I was trying to see if such word exist in Malay that is being used by other language, eg. orang utan, amok, sarong,etc... duh!)
2. Obelisk = a tall stone column with four sloping sides and a pointed top, made in honour of an important person or event (extracted Cambridge Dictionaries Online)
Oohh.. I would like to thank my friend who send me Dan Brown's Robert Landon Onmibus from across the big ocean. The best present ever, since I celebrated the millennium!

This is the first time I came across 'obelisk'. I don't like big words.
i don't like big words also...kinda cumbersome to read and having to refer to dictionary often!
