I have also created a storage service and its status is creating for last 16 hours. I have created all these instances for south east Asia region. Is this normal for there is some issue.

I am new to Azure please help me.

I can tell you this is not normal. My experience, creating storage account do takes longer than creating cloud service and sql database. But should be around seconds to minutes. Your 16 hours is unusual.

Did you meet this problem every storage account you created? Or just this one? I would suggest you create another storage account rather than waiting for this one is done.

Hope this helps.
