alright, your application is all right, except for two minor defects.

one, you only have your application reading time once, that's why it repaints the same time every time it repaints. you need to put your line 28 somewhere where it is run each time a repaint is needed. that is, inside your for loop. and, another problem is that your thread sleeps a second and a half, which basically means that every third second is not painted. hope this helps.
