var fiveSecsAgo = new Date().getTime() + 5000;
$('#clock').countdown(fiveSecsAgo, {elapse: true}).on('update.countdown', function(event) {
    $this = $(this);
    if (event.elapsed) {
        $this.html(event.strftime('%S seconds from finish!'));
    } else {
        $this.html(event.strftime('%S seconds till finish...'));
    }
});

$('#clock').countdown('YYYY/MM/DD', {precision: 1000});
