J2ME game timer

Question

Hi,
I am developing a J2ME game. At the moment i have code which will terminate the game if the game is reaches the time set.
Now i want to be able to display the count down on the actual game. I want to display it anywhere on the screen but im not sure what i really need to implement to physically the actual counter.
Can anybody help.
Thanks

    public void run()
        int millis_per_tick = 100;
        int counter = 1000/millis_per_tick;
        timeLeftInMillis = 180000;
        Thread currentThread = Thread.currentThread();
        try
            // This ends when myThread is set to null, or when
            // it is subsequently set to a new thread; either way, the
            // current thread should terminate.
            while (currentThread == myThread)
                long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
                repaint(0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight);
                serviceRepaints();
                long timeTaken = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
                if (timeTaken < millis_per_tick)
                    synchronized (this)
                        wait(millis_per_tick - timeTaken);
                if (counter == 0) {
                    timeLeftInMillis = timeLeftInMillis - 1000;
                    counter = 1000/millis_per_tick;
                else
                    counter--;
                if (timeLeftInMillis<0) {
                    synchronized(this){
                        isGameOver = true;
        catch (InterruptedException e)
    }
